Justin Forsett continued to impress in this game, rushing for 95 yards on 23 caries. He still holds the best yard-per-carry average in the NFL among players with over 50 carries.

Bernard Pierce has gone in a totally different direction, however. Although he has scored two touchdowns this season, his yard-per-carry average is at an unimpressive 3.6 yards-per-carry. He rushed for just 21 yards on eight carries against Atlanta, and over half those yards came on an 11-yard scamper.

Lorenzo Taliaferro only received four carries on the day, rushing for just three yards.

Grade: B-
