Game Notes

Falcons rally to top the Giants 23-20.

Atlanta overcomes an early 14-0 hole, and later a 20-16 deficit in the 4th quarter for the victory over New York. Haskel Stanback bursts through for a 9-yard TD with less than 2 minutes to play for the winning score. Stanback and Bubba Bean combine for 101 yards rushing, and spearhead the winning drive with a few key completions by Steve Bartkowski.

The Giants convert an early turnover into a 6-yard TD run by Larry Csonka, and George Martin completes a 83-yard return of a blocked FG for a score in the 1st quarter. Bartkowski starts the Falcons' rally with a 54-yard TD pass to Wallace Francis, and then puts Atlanta ahead 16-14 with a 1-yard TD run in the 3rd quarter.
