Great game for both teams and coaches. Slow but steady start as Pitts was ahead 7-3 at half. Brown went ahead 10-7 then a H broke loose. Pitts ran back a 40 yard Clev. fumble for a TD and jumped to what seemed to be a safe 21-10 lead at the 4min mark. Clev. recovered a Pitts handoff and struck quickly for 6 points. Score was then 21-16  Brown went for the 2 pts and won the bet. At 21-18 it was a one posession game and at 3min left the Browns recovered an onsides kick. Brown were at mid field and Clev QB was stripped of ball and Pitts went another 40 return of the final 28-18 score     great game

LA Rams 19 Atlanta 38

Game got off to a very hairy start for the Falcons, as a hold on a punt put them on their own 6 on opening drive, and after another hold later , george got sacked in the end zone by Roman Phifer and LA was up 2-0. LA then took the punt and quickly marched down field as bettis scored from 8 yards out for a 9-0 lead.  Could it get worse...YES, Jeff george is picked on the very next posession, and it looks like a nightmare unfolding. Atlanta's D finally starts to play and get ball back with no damage.  Finally, jeff george and the O begin to find a groove and march down the field and put 7 up on a George to Mathis pass. Chris Miller then gets picked and all MO goes to Atlanta, Ironhead goes in from 5yards out and Atlanta suddenly leads by 5. LA drives the ball but misses on a FG . George comes right back and hits Rison on a 21 yard slant just inside 2 minutes, and Atlanta takes a 21-12 halftime lead. 
LA tries an onside kick but Atlanta recovers and gets 3 on the drive.  George and Atlanta are driving again with a nice lead when the BONEHEAD (George) throws a horrible pass and it is picked by Pope and returned all the way to Atl. 20, Miller hits Hester and it is once again a 5 point game. In the early 4th on 3rd and 3, George goes deep to Rison and connects on a 55 yard TD, and Atlanta fans begin to relax. On the next posession George hits Mathis for 19 yard TD pass, and Atlanta wins 38-19.
