I witnessed Saint Louis Rams wide receiver Donnie Avery score a TD, brush off his teammate so he could...

Well, many Falcons fans certainly got this one wrong in expecting one of the toughest games of the season in traveling out west to play the upstart 49ers. This one was pretty much over at halftime.

The 49ers' loss to the Falcons on Sunday was their worst home defeat since that game.
I fill out my report card immediately after the game. I do the best I can. But a lot of times I miss some stuff. Later, I'll freely admit that I could've graded it differently here or there.

And the 61-yard completion from quarterback Shaun Hill(notes) to receiver Josh Morgan(notes) was the longest in the careers...
