Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes to stop the Giants scoring for the first time in a regular-season game since 1996.

Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez and Michael Turner found the end zone for the NFC's top-ranked side.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning was intercepted twice, completing 13 of 25 passes.

Lawrence Tynes had a chance to put the Giants on the scoreboard with a field goal, but the Scottish kicker's effort went wide.

The 34-0 loss means the reigning Super Bowl champions fall to third in the NFC East, and ninth in the NFC conference, and drop out of the postseason playoff places.
