In their fairytale playoff run, Brian Robinson has been a solid offensive threat for the Washington Commanders. The veteran running back has also served as a safety blanket for Jayden Daniels and will continue to do so against divisional rivals the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the divisional round, Robinson had an OK game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He amassed a stat line of 10 carries and 16 rushing yards. He added two catches and 22 receiving yards for good measure.

However, it was against the Detroit Lions that Robinson truly broke out. He contributed to the surprise win by amassing a stat line of 15 carries, 77 rushing yards and two rushing TDs.

The Commanders' fan base will expect more of the same against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles and Commanders have squared off twice this season and split the games. This AFC championship showdown will occur at Lincoln Financial Field, where there will be a spot in the Super Bowl to play for.
