The Falcons did not look good at home against the Colts last Saturday Night.  Matt Ryan did not look as good as he did in his first game as he completed 8 of 16 passes for 62 yards with an interception that was returned 67 yards for a TD by Colts’ CB Kelvin Hayden.  Chris Redman followed Ryan and he didn’t play much better as he completed 3 of 4 passes for 56 yards but he also threw an interception.  Joey Harrington made a brief appearance in this game completing 2 of 3 passes for 17 yards.  D.J. Shockley keeps trying to pass his way off the Falcons’ roster as he only completed 2 of 5 passes for 24 yards and he threw an interception and lost a fumble.  Michael Turner was incredible for the Falcons agains the Colts as he carried the ball only 4 times for a ridiculous 113 yards (28.3 ypc).  Jerious Norwood pitched in with 25 yards rushing on 7 carries (3.6 ypc).  Rookie RB Thomas Brown rushed for 22 yards on 4 carries (5.5 ypc) for the Falcons in this game.  Laurent Robinson led the Falcons with 48 yards receiving on 3 catches (16.0 avg) on Saturday Night.  Michael Jenkins pitched in with 4 catches for 25 yards (6.3 avg) in this game.  The Falcons finished up with 166 yards rushing on only 24 carries (6.9 ypc).  They also completed 15 of 28 passes for 152 yards against the Colts.

CB Blue Adams led a decent effort by the Falcons’ defense in this game with 10 tackles.  The Colts finished up with 118 yards rushing on 35 carries (3.4 ypc) in this game.  They also completed 19 of 37 passes for 207 yards.
