Two of the top running backs in the NFL face off on Sunday Night Football, but who's the better play for NFL player props?
The Atlanta Falcons battled the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football with offseason friends Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey, two of the NFL's top running backs, battling it out in San Francisco.
Bijan Robinson is one of the most electric running backs in the NFL. However, the Atlanta Falcons star has named players like Christian McCaffrey and others who helped him mold his game.
The 49ers owned a 13-3 lead before Robinson delivered the Falcons’ first touchdown with 6:28 left in the third quarter. Robinson scored on a 10-yard reception in which he slipped from Bryce Huff’s grasp, zoomed past a turned-around Dee Winters, then barreled through Ji’Ayir Brown and Bethune at the goal line.
On the season, McCaffrey has 981 yards from scrimmage and six total TDs in seven contests. Despite missing more than two seasons’ worth of games in his career due to injuries, the former Carolina Panthers star ranks eighth among active NFL players in career rushing yards (6,852) and eighth in career scrimmage yards (11,834).
Get ready for the do-it-all running back derby at Levi’s Stadium, as Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey try to one-up each other on SNF. While McCaffrey has helped to keep a depleted San Francisco 49ers offense afloat, Robinson has grabbed a bigger share of the spotlight with dynamic outings in consecutive wins for the Atlanta Falcons.
