  1. Trailing by three, the Eagles take over with about 3 minutes to go in the first half. So far, Fulton Kuykendall and the boys on the Atlanta defense have successfully contained Ricky Bell ...

    Rushing Car Yds Avg Lg TD
    HB1 Ricky Bell 9 20 2.2 5

    "He enjoyed an outstanding career at USC where he averaged 201.6-yards rushing per game as a senior," says Bell's 1979 card. "Ricky led the nation in 1975 with 1875 yards gained on the ground. Ricky's older brother, Archie, is leader of a soul group."

  2. The Falcons are now up 20-10. Guy Benjamin is doing what he can here to ensure that Atlanta doesn't end up the lucky ticketholder in the Art Schlister lottery ...

  3. It's fortunate for Dick Vermeil, John Walton and the rest of the Eagles that this stinker is not being fielded back home in Philadelphia ...

    Philadelphia's ball on Atlanta's 24 yard line. Third and just over 1 to go. 3:20 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Philadelphia 10, Atlanta 27.
    Philadelphia's QB1 #2 John Walton is sacked by Atlanta's LB5 #57 Jim Cope for a loss of just over 8 yards. Fourth and less than 10 to go. That was O2YseamZ (770) against WU6bltz4 (764).
