Easy win over the Jets
Jumping out to a 17-point lead in the 1st quarter, the Falcons had no trouble dominating the stuggling New York Jets. Testaverde, the Jets quarterback, had one of the worst games in his NFL career thanks to the Atlanta Falcons defense.
The first 17 points of the game were a result of turnovers by the NY Jets. The Falcons jumped out to an early lead with a touchdown run by Michael Vick and a Todd Peterson field goal. However, the Jets didn't get a break after that. Chauncey Davis picked up a fumble by Testaverde and ran 24 yards for another Falcons touchdown. Getting the ball back soon after, the Falcons put 3 more points on the board with another Todd Peterson field goal. The score was now 20 - 0 in the Flaoncs favor.
Finally, the Jets scored a touchdown before the end of the first half. Testaverde finally was able to hold onto the ball and jumped into the end zone on a 1-yard rushing touchdown. Things were starting to look a little better for the Jets.
Hopes of a come-back dwindled as Michael Vick scored ran for another touchdown early in the 3rd quarter. Although the Jets were able to score one more touchdown before the game was over, with a 1-yard run by Curtis Martin, they never made much of a come back. The final score was 27-14.
Author's Insight:
Key players for the Falcons was the overall defensive effort and Warrick Dunn, with 155 rushing yards. Michael Vick's 2 touchdowns helped Atlanta, but he also threw 3 interceptions which cancels out his contribution. I was happy to see the Falcons win, but it's not that great of a victory because the Jets are terrible this year. However, it was fun making fun of my roommate as my team killed his team.
