Falcons run over Redskins

Cumberland Times-News

ATLANTA — Michael Turner is looking a lot more like he did a year ago. DeAngelo Hall might want to keep his mouth shut the next time he faces his former team.

Turner ran for a season-high 166 yards, breaking away from Hall on a 58-yard touchdown that finished off Washington early in the fourth quarter, and the Atlanta Falcons snapped a two-game losing streak by beating the Redskins 31-17 on Sunday.

Hall, who made two Pro Bowls playing for the Falcons from 2004-07, yapped away all week about how Atlanta treated him unfairly before a trade to Oakland.

Turner and the Falcons (5-3) got the last laugh. The burly running back broke off two long touchdown runs, also scoring from 30 yards out as the Falcons built a 24-3 halftime lead.

Washington (2-6) looked down and out, losing running back Clinton Portis to an apparent concussion.

Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell went out after taking a shot in the fourth but returned to finish the game. He was 15 of 22 for 196 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown pass to Todd Yoder that gave the Redskins a chance. But Campbell also threw a pass that was intercepted by Tye Hill and returned 62 yards for a touchdown, part of Atlanta’s early barrage.
