NFL Scores Week 9: Atlanta Falcons Go On the Road and Shutout Oakland Raiders

Michael Turner carried the ball 31 times and collected 139 yards, Matt Ryan was 17/22 passing for 220 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Michael Jenkins had a pair of catches for 62 yards with both ending in TDs as the Atlanta Falcons (5-3) routed the Oakland Raiders (2-7) 24-0 on Sunday.

 

Ryan and Jenkins got things started for the Falcons in the first quarter as the pair hooked up on a 37-yard touchdown and then Jerious Norwood scored on a 12-yard run to push the lead to 14-0. Atlanta extended the lead to 21-0 early in the second quarter as Ryan and Jenkins hook up again, this time on a 27-yard toss and Elam booted a 48-yard field goal midway through the frame to increase the advantage to 24-0.

 

That score would stand through the second half as the Raiders struggled to get anything going as they finished with just three first downs and 77 total yards while the Falcons totaled 453 yards of offense and 30 first downs while the offense held the ball 45 minutes in the game.
