The Falcons made a bold call late in the 4th quarter to seal the win in Houston 33-28.

Up 5 with just over a minute left, the Falcons was faced with 4th and 1 on their own 44 yard line.The choice:  Punt the ball and trust the defense, or go for it and seal the game.  They left the offsense on the field and T Gurley was able to get around the left end for a 1st down and securing the vistory.

The Houston offense was moving the ball effectively through the air all game and was gaining momentum.  QB C Austin was 22 for 30 with 277 and 3tds and speedy WR W Filler already had 145 yards and 2 tds.  So Atlanta certainly didn't want to give them the ball back.

J Garoppolo was 18-24 for 307yards and 3 tds and T Gurley ran for 103 yards and 1 td.

Next up, rematch with division leading Caroliona Panthers and the ever dangerous CMC.
