| You
never like to be happy with a tie, but with the Falcons down
2 TDs with 54 seconds remaining and somehow how pulling off
the tie, you have to be impressed. With 4 minutes left, the
Falcons started their drive on their own 23- after 10 plays,
Danny O'Donnell hit Bobby Rodriguez on a 26 yd TD strike. The
ensuing kickoff was recovered by John Lembo on the Adams 30.
O'Donnell then hooked up with Jason Hawkins for a 21 yd TD as
time expired to tie the game. Unfortunately, the PAT was stopped,
but the Falcon comeback was something special. O'Donnell finished
with 252 yds passing and 4 TDs, the other scores coming on a
4yd Pass to Hawkins and a 7 yd pass to George Charles. Rodriguez
finished with 10 cathes for 101 yds and the 1 TD. O'Donnell
was named NY Post Athlete of the Week. |
