| Game Recap: |
|
Atlanta Fulton County Stadium - The Redskins apparently had blocked Tim Mazzetti’s attempt at a 37-yard game-winning field goal with two seconds left to avert their fourth straight defeat and take the game into overtime.
As befitted the way things had been going, however, Washington was offside on the play and Mazzetti got another chance. The former Philadelphia bartender didn’t miss this one, nailing it from 32 yards to win the game for Atlanta.
