Falcons Flank Dolphins

     The Atlanta Falcons pushed by the Miami Dolphins 19-3 on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium. It was the first preseason contest for both teams. 
     Atlanta got the only score in the first half. Running back Godwin Igwebuike raced in from 11 yards away with 12:33 left in the second quarter for a 6-0 lead.
     Miami picked up their only points of the game at the 9:29 mark of the fourth quarter. Jason Sanders cut it to 6-3 when he booted a 49-yard field goal and the Fins were down 6-3. 
     The Falcons took charge late in the fourth. Dee Alford returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown with 2:33 remaining in the contest. It became 19-3 for Atlanta 13 seconds later when Breon Borders intercepted a pass and returned it to the end zone for a score.
