FALCONS RUN OVER VIKINGS

Vick - left game with an injury

GDO Report

The Atlanta Falcons rushed for 286 yards and sacked Daunte Culpepper nine times in a 30-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Michael Vick rushed for 58 yards on just four carries and completed 6-of-8 passes for 49 yards, including a five-yard touchdown to tight end Alge Crumpler, before leaving in the second quarter with a right ankle injury.

Vick was injured when he rolled to his right and was hit by rookie defensive end Erasmus James after completing a pass.

Back-up quarterback Matt Schaub is not known for his running ability, but he did his best imitation of Vick, rushing for 56 yards on four carries for the Falcons.

Warrick Dunn led the running attack with 126 yards on 18 carries, including a 37-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Meanwhile, Culpepper was harassed all day and hit numerous times.

He threw for 250 yards, but was intercepted twice and fumbled the ball away once and has now been picked off 10 times in four games this season - one less than his total all of last season.

The Falcons, including play-offs, have won 10 of their last 11 games at the Georgia Dome.
