bounced back from a three-game losing streak to thump the Atlanta Falcons in their own building, using a 34-14 beatdown to vault back into sole possession of first place in the NFC West.
But Hall's most significant play came early in the fourth quarter, as he put the dagger in the Falcons with a 36-yard fumble return for a touchdown. Setting the play in motion, he overpowered Matthews again with a bull rush and nearly got to Cousins for a sack, forcing the quarterback to bail to his left. Teammate Boye Mafe then chased after him and forced a fumble on a strip sack, only for Hall to scoop the ball up and sprint down the sideline to the end zone for six points.
Dre'Mont Jones took over this game as the second half progressed - including excellent edge setting vs. run. This was the fourth run on Atlanta's opening drive of second half that netted zero or negative yards with Jones corralling Robinson for a loss.With the Falcons trailing by multiple scores and forced to air it out, Jones tacked on another quarterback hit in the fourth quarter and helped turn up the pressure on Cousins as he uncorked an interception to Coby Bryant on the next play.
