Banged-up Falcons can still lean on ‘dynamic tandem’ in Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier
The Atlanta Falcons will take the Caesars Superdome turf this Sunday without their starting quarterback or their top pass catcher. But that hardly means the cupboard is bare, and the New Orleans Saints are certainly not underestimating the difficulty of stopping Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta’s talented backfield duo. “It’s definitely a dynamic tandem, and they complement each other extremely well,” Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley said.
