Turner got on the board early in Monday’s game against the Broncos, rushing for a touchdown to put the Falcons up by seven less than two minutes into the game.

Turner also had the last relevant carry of the game, a first-down run late in the fourth quarter to seal the Falcons’ win

The game went pretty long, ending (not including halftime) in 3 hours and 27 minutes. “I bet here in Atlanta there will be a lot of people not showing up for work tomorrow, ” Mike Smith joked, not knowing one of those people would in fact be his running back.

Approximately 1 a.m.: Leaves Stadium

Media time ended around 1 a.m., making it likely that Turner and his teammates would have showered and cleared out of the locker room by that point.
