“Arthur Smith Needs to Go to Prison”- Falcons’ Fans Chant ‘Justice for Bijan’ as RB Disappears Post Pre-Game Shenanigans

What’s going on with the Atlanta Falcons‘ Bijan Robinson? Everyone is wondering if he is okay because he was only seen playing one play in the first quarter of the match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not to mention, he did not record any touchdowns.

Even after the Falcons recorded a touchdown on an 8-play opening possession, Robinson was surprisingly not only on the field for any of those plays. Instead, he stood on the sideline with his helmet on. Now, that came out as an extremely concerning situation for everyone.

Arthur Smith stated something about Robinson after the Week 6 match. According to Michael Rothstein on X, “Falcons HC Arthur Smith on Bijan Robinson’s usage & how they have to monitor it: “You have to be careful.” Robinson said yesterday he’s been feeling “sore,” but that’s not surprising six games into an NFL season.”

This incident raised quite some reactions from the fans. They were not so happy with what happened and expressed rage and frustration in their comments.

A fan commented, “Every fantasy owner and gambler should file a class action lawsuit. If they knew this, they should have announced before the game.” “Shouldn’t they have to put this out before the game?” commented another fan. Some believe that the company intentionally planned this for money. They stated, “Because then Underdog Fantasy wouldn’t make a ton of money.”

“Falcons will get a well-deserved fine from the league for misrepresenting a player’s health status,” expressed a fan. What do you think about the situation?
