ORLANDO, Fla. — Falcons coach Dan Quinn was just as stunned as the masses.

The sight of Cleveland wide receiver Terrelle Pryor streaking up the sidelines to the old Dawg Pound end zone was initially disturbing. A converted quarterback from Ohio State, Pryor is fast, but he was rolling past the Falcons’ top cornerback, Pro Bowler Desmond Trufant, one of the cornerstones of the defense.

Quinn was curious what happened and noted that it was not a double-move route that Trufant got faked out on.
