"The coaches give us a great game plan, and we go out and execute it,Cheap Jerseys For Sale," Trufant said. "We believe in each other, and it's really starting to show."
This time, the Falcons were up 28-0. Turnovers — no miscues by the offense, an interception by Jonathan Babineaux and two fumble recoveries by Desmond Trufant — were the reason why.
"There were some adjustments by their safeties, playing over the top help and giving you advantageous looks to the other side to kind of force you to throw to other guys,NFL Jerseys From China," Ryan said. "I thought our other guys stepped up and did really well."
Quinn's halftime talk to the team was nothing like last week's when Atlanta trailed by 11 at Dallas and had to rally in the fourth quarter for the third straight week.
"For us, it was going to be about the ball, so for us to be plus-four and convert on some opportunities — all units improved," Quinn said Monday. "That's our goal going forward."
Offensively,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Atlanta found a new way to win.

But just as importantly, the offense isn't giving the ball away. Atlanta has yet to lose a fumble this season and Ryan hasn't thrown an interception since Week 1.
The Falcons are among the league's most efficient, ranking second in third-down percentage and first in red-zone touchdown percentage.
With Jones facing double-team coverages, Ryan used other weapons. No. 3 receiver Leonard Hankerson caught six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Running back Devonta Freeman had five catches for 85 yards.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Coach Dan Quinn has been trying to get the Atlanta Falcons to start games fast.
"That's a real challenge as we go through it," he said. "Can we keep finding small ways to improve? For us it was going to be about the football this last week. Can we get more turnovers? Can we take care of the ball better than we ever have? |
