The Falcons pushed the Chiefs around yesterday in Atlanta.  Matt Ryan was efficient just like he was in the season opener yesterday as he completed 12 of 18 passes for 192 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 interceptions.  Michael Turner was a bull yesterday as he carried the ball 23 times for 104 yards (4.5 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  Jerious Norwood pitched in with 75 yards rushing on 11 carries (6.8 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 30 yards.  WR Roddy White had a huge game in leading the way in the passing game for the Falcons with 119 yards on 5 catches (23.8 avg) including a 70-yard TD reception from Matt Ryan.  The Falcons finished up with 186 yards rushing on 36 carries (5.2 ypc) and they also completed 12 of 18 passes for 192 yards.

The Falcons’ Defense made some big plays especially against the pass to help them win this game.  CB Chris Houston intercepted a pass that he returned 10 yards to the house to seal the scoring in this football game.  S/CB Erik Coleman and LB Keith Brooking led the Falcons with 10 tackles apiece.  Safety Lawyer Milloy pitched in with 9 tackles yesterday.  The Chiefs finished up with 184 yards rushing on 33 carries (5.6 ypc) but they only completed 14 of 36 passes for 117 yards.  The Falcons are off to a good start this season as they are now 2-1 on the season.
