NFL Dawgs Week Four: Defense!

Trufant and Kikaha among former Husky defensive standouts in week four of the NFL action this weekend

Falcons move to 4-0 behind Trufant, defense

After a quiet, but effective start to the 2015 season, Atlanta Falcons corner Desmond Trufant had a breakout game Sunday as his team moved to 4-0. The Falcons knocked off the Houston Texans 48-21, and Trufant contributed two tackles, three pass deflections and his first touchdown of the season, returning a Arian Foster fumble for the score.

Foster had a rough game in his return, allowing Chris Polk to lead the Texans in rushing, although he was far from stellar.
