There is a new name atop the list of NFL rushing leaders after five weeks.

Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons surpassed Kenneth Walker III of the Kansas City Chiefs.

It isn’t that Robinson had an incredible game and Walker had a bad one. The Chiefs and their running back were on a bye.

Walker will be back on the field on Sunday when the Chiefs face the winless Los Angeles Chargers.
