The Falcons hold again.  Dallas settled for a 43 yard FG.  Early in the 4th, the game is tied at 17 all.

As @Long island EFL said, speed kills.  Both teams have speed.  The Falcons have a tad more.  Anyone’s game. 

Speed and power with skill makes the intensity fantastic. That's what makes this game a great matchup

The stats tell a big story in this game:

Falcons                                                         Robinson 10 rushes 124yds 1TD            Patterson 11 receptions 258yds 1TD         Pitts 3 receptions 22yds 2 TDs

Cowboys                                                   Pollard 17 rushes 47yds 1TD 9 receptions       172yds 1TD

Once the Falcons learned how to stop Pollard, they were able to shut the Cowboys down.  Lamb’s unexpected last second TD got the game to OT, but the Falcons readjusted and stopped Pollard again.

The Falcons have a 3 headed monster with Robinson, Patterson and Pitts.  London wasn’t a factor in this game, but he can also be dangerous.

Kickoff in 20 minutes.  
 

Colts win the ball and choose to defer.  The Falcons will receive going South to North

The Falcons drive to the Colts 18.  But, passed intended for Patterson and London fall incomplete, and the Falcons settle for a FG.  
 

Falcons 3 Colts 0

Of note on this drive, the Colts pass rush was nullified by RBs Allgier and Robinson picking up the edge rushers.

And, here we go.  Michael Pittman takes the kickoff 3 yards deep, and returns it through traffic for 103 yards and a TD.
