From the article

After a relatively quiet Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens, running back Bijan Robinson is poised for another big performance against the Bears. While the Bears' run defense ranks ninth-best in the NFL in yards allowed, that stat is a bit misleading. They've benefited from facing teams that lack a commitment to running the ball (see Green Bay Packers) or teams that wanted to run the ball but couldn't because they were playing from behind (see Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles). If the Falcons don't fall behind early and have to abandon the run, they should be able to lean heavily on Robinson to carry the offense, as they did against the Packers and New Orleans Saints.

Robinson set up for big game against Bears' misleading run defense ranking.

Bijan Robinson is poised for a big performance against the Bears despite their ninth-ranked run defense, because that stat is misleading; the Bears have benefited from facing teams lacking run commitment (Packers) or forced to abandon the run playing from behind (Panthers, Eagles). If the Falcons don't fall behind early, they should lean heavily on Robinson to carry the offense, as they did against the Packers and Saints.
