The Washington Commanders are in the driver's seat against the Atlanta Falcons after running back Brian Robinson Jr. caught a touchdown pass from Sam Howell.

Here's a look at the play ...

This has led to Sam Howell throwing the ball all over the field, neglecting the running game, and Brian Robinson Jr.

Earlier this week, Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy praised Robinson Jr. for his team-first mentality.

“Brian has done a hell of a job of working his tail off," Bieniemy said. "The thing I love about the kid is that he just comes to work every single day. He doesn’t complain. He just wants to do whatever he can do to help us to be better. That's what you appreciate. When you're building a culture, when you are establishing a foundation, those are the type of people that you want to build it with because he gets it. Sometimes we don't know what it is, but he gets it."

Over the last few weeks, Robinson has struggled to get into games, as he has only 55 rushing yards on 20 carries.

We know what he is capable of if he is allowed to get into a rhythm on game day, but due to the game script, he has been kept on the sidelines.

But despite Robinson's lack of success over the last few weeks, Bieniemy has loved his approach.

"His personality and his attitude are contagious, and it impacts everybody around him," Bieniemy said. "When you're watching him work on a consistent basis, the only thing you want for him just like most all of our players, you want them to have success.”

The Commanders hold a 24-10 lead against the Falcons early in the third quarter.
