Cops Bust Falcons' Turner Driving 97mph, Hand Him DUI
This photo provided by the The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department, Sept. 18, 2012, shows Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner.   (Ga.) Sheriff's Department)

First, Michael Turner ran all over Peyton Manning's Broncos.* Then, he ran all over the speed limit. The running back found himself in jail this morning, after cops pulled him over a little after 4am, going 97mph in a 65 zone, TMZ reports. The 30-year-old was then booked for DUI, taken to jail, and eventually released on $2,179 bond.

*OK, OK. So he only racked up 42 yards. But hey, he had a TD. (More Atlanta Falcons stories.)
