Mark Ingram catches his first TD pass in NFL's Monday night game

Atlanta defeated New Orleans 45-32 in the NFL's Monday night game even though Falcons star receiver Julio Jones caught only one pass and Saints running back Mark Ingram made his first touchdown reception and produced more than 100 yards from scrimmage.

A former Foley High School and Alabama star, Jones had one reception for 16 yards on Monday night even though he was the Falcons' most targeted receiver with seven throws going his way. Seven other receivers divided 19 other receptions, and Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes.

Jones played despite a calf injury that limited him to participation in one practice last week.
