| The Cowboys recovered Falcons QB Tony Graziani's fumble early in the third quarter. Four plays later, Emmitt Smith powered in for the touchdown that made it 17-0. Atlanta's anemic offense wasn't going to rally. |

Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe. Not shaken by his early struggles, Bledsoe led New England's comeback with three second-half TD passes. He finished 27-for-45 for 299 yards and four TDs. The Patriots' defense gets an honorable mention for its adjustments. |
