OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Matt Ryan connected with Michael Jenkins for two touchdown passes to lead Atlanta to its first shutout win in six years Sunday, 24-0 over Oakland.

Michael Turner carried 31 times for 139 yards and Jerious Norwood ran for 63 yards and a score.

Oakland (2-6) didn't get a first down until nearly midway through the third quarter.
