OFFENSE
Souhan’s grade: B
Adrian Peterson was relentless but Teddy Bridgewater threw one bad interception and didn’t get the ball downfield.
DEFENSE
Souhan’s grade: A
Mike Zimmer’s bend-don’t-bend-too-much defense rarely looked spectacular but hemmed in Falcons QB Matt Ryan and NFL receiving leader Julio Jones.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Souhan’s grade: B
Blair Walsh missed a long field goal but made two. Not much to see here.
COACHING
Souhan’s grade: B
Some of Norv Turner’s calls, like Matt Asiata up the middle on third-and-5, were puzzling, but the run game worked against a stacked front.

Freeman's 3-run HR, 5 RBIs, lift Dodgers over D-backs 14-1
Freddie Freeman's swing looked good and the baseball jumped off his bat, carrying deep into right-center field. The veteran slugger had hit 274 homers in his career prior to that at-bat and this one certainly felt like No. 275.
