Atlanta 31 LA Raiders 14

Jeff George redeems himself after last weeks brutal performance, and leads his visiting Falcons to a

Andre Rison

big road win.  Atlanta jumped out early scoring 2 TD's , but LA came charging back and tied it at 14 late in 2nd Q. The key point may have been right after as Atlanta took over on their 20 with just over 2:30 in half. Atlanta went 74 yards to LA 6 and with the half expiring kicked a FG for a 3 point lead. Atlanta like in 1st half would score TD's on their opening 2 2nd half drives and salt away a 31-14 win.
George was 30 of 37 for 385 yards and 4 TD's. Mathis and Rison also had huge games, Mathis 12 for 176, 2TD's and Rison 9 for 111, 1 TD. They would have to be as Atlanta could not run the ball at all...and mid way through 4th lost Heywood and had NO running backs.  The Raidas were led by harvey Williams 18 rushes for 90 yards.
