Turner overdrive

In his first season with Atlanta, Falcons running back Michael Turner has rushed for a career-high 1,208 yards and an NFL-best 13 touchdowns. On Sunday, he and the Falcons won 22-16 against the San Diego Chargers , where he spent four years as a backup to LaDainian Tomlinson. Turner has out-rushed his mentor (Tomlinson, 794 yards) and owns the edge in touchdowns (Tomlinson, six).

Turner is on pace to have the biggest one-year increase in both rushing yards and touchdowns scored when playing for a new team (minimum 10 games in each season):
