Sunday's game in Atlanta, Georgia proved to be more of a track meet than a football game as the Atlanta Falcons defeated the St. Louis Rams, 34-17. Falcon's quarterback Michael Vick and running back Warrick Dunn ran for a combined 242 yards, according to an AP article on ESPN.com.
Vick recorded his third 100-yard rushing game in only his thirtieth game as a professional quarterback. The current record for 100-yard rushing games for a quarterback is currently four games, a record Vick will certainly break in the near future. The 242 yards rushing by the Falcons is the highest team total since rushing for 260 yards against New Orleans two years ago. Overall, Vick combined for 288 yards of total offense to help break a seven game losing streak to the Rams.
"He did some things today, we were on the sideline with our mouths open," said Falcons fullback Justin Griffith, who caught four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. "He's an awesome athlete. It's fun to play with him."
Vick and the Falcons will face the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday at home.
