The Falcons’ defense is definitely credited with the win after giving up just seven points, 256 yards and forced two turnovers, one to seal the deal at the end. Rookie Robenson Therezie picked off Zach Mettenberger with time winding down to give the Falcons a big road win.

The Falcons’ defense held the Titans to one-of-nine on third down and held Mettenberger to 179 yards passing on 22 of 35 throwing. The Falcons continued their dominant display of run defense as the team held the Titans to just 77 yards on the day.

The offense wasn’t pretty, but the defense sue was. Hats off those guys. They deserve it.
