Falcons down Jets, 10-7
The Atlanta Falcons used a strong defensive performance to pick up a 10-7 road win over the New York Jets.
Quarterback Matt Ryan threw for just 152 yards but did toss a touchdown pass and had no interceptions. Not turning the ball over was a huge key to the win for Atlanta.
On the other side of the ball, the defense made quarterback Mark Sanchez look like the rookie that he is. They forced him into three interceptions, which was ultimately the difference in the game.
Running back Michael Turner saw some game action, but was eased back into things. He carried the ball just once for seven yards and Jason Snelling and Jerious Norwood saw more of the playing time.
The playoffs are out of the question for the Falcons, but it was a good sign to see the team travel up to New York and play so hard and so well in the poor weather conditions.
