It has been a landslide so far in favor of the Atlanta Falcons against the 6-4 Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Deion Jones added to the Falcons' fun with a 67-yard pick-6 of the struggling Derek Carr:

Along with his pick-6, Jones is leading the team with five total tackles, including three of the solo variety. He came into Sunday's game following a decent outing in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints in which he racked up six tackles along with one sack, though the end result was a 24-9 loss.
The Falcons entered Week 12 with a 3-7 record, but that's in line to change now that they boast a 33-6 lead in the second half. While this has been a disappointing season for Atlanta, this is a truly impressive performance against a playoff contender.
The Falcons are doing this without offensive stars Julio Jones and Todd Gurley. Of course, they're getting it done with a surprisingly stout defensive performance. Atlanta has one of the worst defenses in the NFL, but Las Vegas hasn't been able to get anything going.
This is a classic letdown game for a Raiders team that was so close to sweeping the Kansas City Chiefs this season. After falling just short against the mighty Chiefs, Carr has followed up his majestic performance in that game with a total dud.
