Cowboys pluck Falcons 24-7
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Denver isn't the only Super Bowl team in trouble.

The Atlanta Falcons were wiped out

But that's not the worst of it for the Falcons.
Facons. Quarterback Chris Chandler couldn't play because of a strained hamstring, and running back Jamal Anderson joined him on the sideline after spraining his right knee early in the first quarter of the weak offensive performance.
As for Dallas, things are looking good. The Cowboys are 2-0 for the first time since 1995, their last Super Bowl season, and their defense didn't look anything like the group that was torched by
Washington in the opener.
Then again, Dallas was stopping an Atlanta offense led by Tony Graziani and Byron Hanspard, third-year players with empty resumes compared to Pro Bowlers Chandler and Anderson.
Graziani was 7-of-16 for 90 yards. His second pass was intercepted, leading to a Dallas field goal, and he fumbled early in the third quarter, setting up the touchdown that put the Cowboys up 17-0. The left-hander's biggest highlight was making it to the third quarter, something he failed to do in his previous two starts. The thrill was short-lived, though, as Danny Kannell soon replaced him.
Kannell, who beat Dallas twice with the New York Giants in 1997, was almost as ineffective. He short-circuited one drive with an interception, then
rebounded with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Tim Dwight with four minutes left, the first time the Falcons crossed the Dallas 30 in the game.
the Dallas so that the Falcons threatened again but on a third-and-goal from the 4 with 1.01 to play, defensive end Greg Ellis returned an interception 87 yards for the final Dallas touchdown.
Anderson was lost six minutes into the game without even being hit. On his third carry, Anderson planted his right foot, cut left and was grabbing his knee before he even landed on the artificial turf of Texas Stadium.
turf or Texas stadium.
His bulldozing style was especially missed on three third-and-short situations when the Falcons were down 10.0. Atlanta instead had a nearly intercepted pass, a no-gain by Hanspard and Graziani's fumble.
