FLOWERY BRANCH – While cornerback Desmond Trufant has drawn a lot of early-season praise, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said the right cornerback Robert Alford had a strong game against the Texans, too.
“Both corners really stepped up,” Quinn said. “Robert and Tru, I felt had really good games. There were more pass break-ups in this game than we’ve had in a long time.”
The Falcons had 10 pass deflections against the Texans.
