| 4th November, 2007 - 4:37 pm |  ESPN - The Falcons actually won another game, even though most of their fans didn't get to see it.
Warrick Dunn became the first Atlanta back to run for 100 yards this season, Ovie Mughelli had the first rushing TD of his career and the Falcons won a matchup between two of the league's worst teams, holding off the San Francisco 49ers 20-16 Sunday.
The game was blacked out locally -- the first time that's happened in Atlanta since 2001. The Georgia Dome was far from packed after 56 consecutive sellouts, the city clearly losing interest in a losing squad that no longer has Michael Vick to liven things up.
San Francisco (2-6) lost its sixth in a row with another dismal offensive performance. Leading rusher Frank Gore (sore ankle) didn't play and Alex Smith, playing with a taped-up throwing shoulder, completed only 17 of 38 passes for 149 yards, with three interceptions. [READ] |
