Kicking only field goals to defeat an opponent who countered by solely scoring touchdowns may have deemed the Washington Commanders’ route to victory unconventional, but as Brian Robinson Jr.’s Week 2 showed, rare paths sometimes lead to thrilling results. Vacuumed into a dozen-player pile during a crowded, middle-of-the-field run, Robinson — seemingly using his ability to blend in to his advantage — escapes from the fray untouched before proceeding downfield for a thrilling 40-yard pickup. The 2022 third-rounder made himself a big-play staple during the 21-18 win over the New York Giants on Sept. 18, 2024, starring in the NFC East showdown with 136 scrimmage yards on 18 touches.
