Sunday’s win over the Steelers was one of the biggest wins the Falcons have had in a long time….and they did it on the strength of Michael Vick’s left arm.  Michael Vick completed 18 of 30 passes for 232 yards with 4 TDs and 2 INT.  Vick also carried the ball 5 times for 40 yards.  Warrick Dunn had a rough time against the Steelers defense, carrying the ball 26 times for 69 yards (2.7 ypc) and a TD.  Rookie Jerious Norwood carried the ball 8 times for 64 yards.  TE Alge Crumpler was outstanding and unstoppable against the small Steelers secondary!  Crumpler caught 6 passes for 117 yards and 3 TDs!  Ashley Lelie caught 4 passes for 58 yards and Michael Jenkins caught 2 passes for 25 yards and a TD.

The Falcons stopped the Steelers running game cold, allowing only 55 yards on 26 carries (2.1 ypc)!  The Steelers were throwing the ball all over the field against the Falcons defense!   The Steelers completed 24 of 35 passes for 418 net yards passing!

What an exciting win.  It was great to see the Falcons open up the offense and let Vick throw the all a little bit.  Hopefully, that will continue!
