Let’s examine the performances of Atlanta’s offense, defense and special teams units after Sunday’s game.

DEFENSE

The Falcons forced four fumbles, each by a different player. Foye Oluokun,  Steven Means, Jacob Tuioti-Mariner and LaRoy Reynolds.

Linebacker Deion Jones was stellar in coverage for most of the day, He’d finish with five tackles and an interception for a touchdown. Raiders QB Derek Carr had one of the worst games of his career, fumbling three times and throwing the pick-six to Jones.

Atlanta’s defensive pressure was solid, coming away with five sacks, while playing good coverage on the back end. Darqueze Dennard made a few nice plays in coverage, and rookie CB A.J. Terrell responded well after giving up a big catch to Henry Ruggs.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs ran for just 27 yards on the day, while Carr was held without a touchdown pass.
