ATLANTA (9/18/11) – Michael Vick left the game in the 3rd quarter with an injury and the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) rallied from a late 10-point deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 on Sunday Night Football.
Mike Kafka relieved Vick for the Eagles (1-1) and went 7-9 for 72 yards in trying to rally the team, but Jeremy Maclin dropped a key 4th down pass and, later, Kafka’s desperation heave at the end of regulation was batted down as the Falcons held on to win.
Dave Sims and James Lofton called the action for Westwood One.
