| (MySportsbook) -- Michael Turner was deemed expendable by the San Diego Chargers this past offseason, but there's no denying that the talented running back has been vital to the Atlanta Falcons' amazing turnaround in 2008. Eight months after the Chargers allowed Turner to test the free-agent waters, the fifth-year pro made his ex-team pay for the decision with another top- notch effort that aided Atlanta's 22-16 victory over San Diego this past Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium. Turner grinded out 120 yards on a care |

Carolina and Tampa Bay both logged victories earlier Sunday to move to 9-3. "That wa |

In addition to moving the team to 6-4, now two full games up on the San Diego Chargers in the AFC West, the game showed that Denver is something more than a one-trick pony, a fact that will likely do wonders for team morale.
