Second quarter, gabbert gets the 49ers on the board. Look how wide open garrick sellic is. Vernon davis traded earlier this week. Touchdown 49ers. 106 49ers late in the second. This time, gabbert not so wide open, but threads the needle. 176, san francisco. End of the half, freeman, aaron lynch covering him, no contest there. Falcons cut it to four at the break. Now, same score in the fourth quarter. Bowman on the blitz sacks, bowmans first sack since week 1. Heres the pass gabbert wishes he could get back. Picked off by beasley, gabberts second pick of the game. Atlanta got to the goal line. On 3rd down, justin hardy stopped short of the end zone by jimmy ward, new falcons coach. Dan quinn thinks about it, but calls on the field goal unit. Matt bryant puts the falcons within a point. Quinn was banking on the defense to get a stop, they did not. Gaskins picks up the 1st down to run out the clock. Gabbert finishes with 185 yards passing and the 49ers get the win. They are now 36. It was wonderful. Im so appreciative of this opportunity and i just wanted to go out there and compete, lead these guys. Almost gave it away in the fourth quarter. Wanted to go out there today and have fun. Play well when youre having fun. That was the biggest thing. Am i happy we won the Football Game . Absolutely. I mean, do we need to win a Football Game . Absolutely. But, you know, i mean, go to bed tonight, get up in the morning and we got to get after it. We got to get work done. Got a bye next week, so its a quarterback controversy for the next two weeks down there. The raiders have not been to the playoffs since 2002, but a win in pittsburgh could put oakland on the track to end over a decade of futility. Latavius murray rushed for 96 yards, but left with a concussion in the second half. Not a problem for the raiders. The backup rolls in for the touchdown, raiders down 3528. Then aldon smith desperately needed a sack and he got it he brings down Ben Roethlisberger who suffered an injury, a big break for the raiders. Now, they got a chance to tie the game with under 5 minutes to go. But derek carr and klive wolford are not on the same page. The pick in the end zone, but carr got another chance. With under 2 minutes to go, look at him loft this beautiful pass. Michael crabtree was covered by a linebacker. Game tied at 3535. With roethlisberger out, it was up to landry jones to win the game for pittsburgh. Just get it to Antonio Brown and watch him go to work. Amerson fell down. Brown is off to the races. 57yard pickup. He had 284 yards receiving. Are you kidding me . Chris boswell, chip shot to win the Football Game
