ATLANTA -- While the Falcons' offense found its mojo on Sunday night against the Cowboys, Adrian Clayborn and the defense put together a dominant effort.

Atlanta held Dallas to 233 yards in the 27-7 victory, and looked sharp throughout the entirety of the game. It was an inspiring group effort, but Clayborn was unquestionably the tone-setter.

The seventh-year defensive end scorched Cowboys backup left tackle Chaz Green and registered six sacks on Dak Prescott, the most in a single game in Falcons franchise history. Entering Sunday's game, Clayborn had recorded six sacks over the course of an entire season just once in his previous six years.
