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.
