The Falcons' Bijan Robinson shocked Cris Collinsworth on Sunday night as he produced a hugely unique moment against the Chiefs. In the first half, quarterback Kirk Cousins was meant to hand off the ball to Robinson but mishandled the snap, knocking it into the path of his running back in midair. The second-year pro seamlessly caught the low ball while running forward and spared his quarterback's blushes - even gaining nine yards in the process.

After a day of uprising and close calls in March Madness, there are only a few perfect brackets remaining in the world. For example, ESPN's "Tournament Challenge" attracted 22.6 million brackets, but only 1,825 of those were flawless after the first day of the NCAA Tournament. However, some of the lucky few out there have their brackets intact through the first day - including Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson.

The Bears defeated the Falcons, 37-17, in their last home game of the season, boosting their record to 7-9, but the Panthers' loss to the Jaguars leaves Carolina with the worst NFL record (2-14).

He made 20 of 32 passes and ran for 35 yards with his future looking as if he has yet to commit to a new contract, with his four-year, $18.8 million rookie deal coming to an end in 2025.
