Godwin Igwebuike took 13 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown and the Atlanta Falcons pulled away from the Miami Dolphins 19-3 in a preseason game Friday night in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Igwebuike's 11-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, with a missed extra-point try, stood as the only points for either team until the fourth. Jason Sanders made a 49-yard field goal for the Dolphins before the Falcons put up two non-offensive touchdowns 13 seconds apart.

Dee Alford returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown to extend Atlanta's lead to 13-3, and two plays from scrimmage later, Breon Borders intercepted Skylar Thompson's pass and took it back 26 yards for another touchdown.

Thompson finished 10-of-16 passing for 104 yards and two interceptions. Myles Gaskin had 57 rushing yards and Erik Ezukanma added 52 rushing yards on just two touches.
