Livas Returns Punt For TD, Dolphins Beat Falcons

route just outside the line of scrimmage against cornerback Vontae Davis and advanced to the Miami 14 behind before safety Reshad Jones pulled him down.

Turner had a 2-yard TD run one play later.

Atlanta’s next drive started at the 17 before Ryan connected with Jones, the NFL’s No. 6 overall draft pick, for a 22-yard gain on an end route down the right side. On the next snap, Jones took a reverse handoff and sped 12 yards to the Falcons 49.

Ryan and Harry Douglas made it 14-0 seven plays later, connecting on a 20-yard touchdown pass that beat cornerbacks Nolan Carroll and Nate Ness.

Henne’s second interception, which came on the Dolphins’ next play from scrimmage, was a poorly thrown ball intended for Bess and picked off by cornerback Brent Grimes on the right side.

With Ryan and Atlanta’s other offensive starters out of the game, third-string quarterback John Parker Wilson took charge of the offense and oversaw a six-play drive that ended with Matt Bryant’s 27-yard field goal and a 17-0 lead.

Wilson, who completed 12-of-19 passes for 111 yards and one interception, was knocked out of the game with an undisclosed injury midway through the third and had to be escorted off the field.

He lost a fumble near the end of the second quarter that led to Roberto Wallace’s 28-yard TD pass from Matt Moore and cut it to 17-14.

Moore connected with Edmond Gates on a 6-yard TD pass in the third quarter.

Adam Froman, a rookie from Louisville, played the rest of the game at quarterback for Atlanta, ending the game with an interception deep in Miami territory.
