Keeps finding a way to mention Devyn isn’t done.

Bijan Robinson finished with 26.7, which is what a hammer is supposed to do in a league that pays for yards and touchdowns. He ran for 145 and scored twice, the first of them from 59, and Atlanta blew out New Orleans 45–24. Holden had been at 99 without him. He finished at 125.98. Devyn finished at 90.62. Holden is 3–1. Devyn is 1–3.

The part that will sit with Devyn is not Juwan Johnson, who had 5.9 and was never going to catch that. It is Alvin Kamara. Kamara had 17.8 on the bench, his first two touchdowns of the year, while Chase Brown and Bucky Irving started and combined for 14.2. Metcalf had another 11.5 sitting there too. Doubs and Higgins and Burrow had already done their jobs. The back who had the game did not.

Holden’s Sunday had already been McMillan at 31.2 and Goff at 20. Adams had 3.2, which is a quiet receiver on a night the score did not need him. Week 5 is Nathan. That is a different problem. This one is over, and the zero next to Bijan was just the clock.
