Atlanta: The Atlanta Falcons continued their franchise-best start to a season and marched to an 8-0 record with a gritty 19-13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys yesterday.
Matt Ryan threw for 342 yards and no scores but was mistake-free as his running game and defense backed him up to hold off the visiting Cowboys (3-5).
“It sounds great,” wide receiver Roddy White said after becoming the Atlanta’s all-time reception leader.
“It just speaks to consistency over the years.”
White passed Terance Mathis with his fourth catch of the evening with 574 receptions as a Falcon.
“We’re starting to beat good football teams,” added White. “You need these kinds of wins so when you get in the play-offs in those tight games you can win.”
With a seven-yard catch in the fourth quarter, Jason Witten became the Dallas’s all-time leading receiver. REUTERS
