May 15 , 2005- It came as little to surpise to anyone that that Falcons (1-0) would instantly join the ranks of the elite in the BFL when he joined the league this past off season. So it was not a shock when he was able to get past the Gamblers (0-1) in his first game yesterday afternoon 77-74.

In a game which featured spectacular catches and turnovers, the Falcons held on in the end. Ross did pick off 3 of Kenny's passes, but the Gamblers did too manage to pull in 2 interceptions and forced 1 turnover on down.

The game saw both teams exchanging touchdowns throughout. Both teams held the lead many times on numberous occassions.

Late in the game, Ross was able to intcept a pass that would have tied the game for the Gamblers. After the ensuing touchdown, the Falcons took a 62-46, 16 point lead. But the Gamblers battled back with a touchdown followed by a successful on side throw.

However, it was too little too late, as Mark's comeback would just fall short and the Falcons won it 77-74.

Notes:
-Ross's victory makes expansion teams all time 5-8 in their first game played.
-The two teams combined for 5 interceptions
-Seven teams have started off 0-1 and still made the playoffs
