Notes:  Steve DeBerg completed six straight passes in a 70-yard drive that culminated in Paul Hofer’s three-yard touchdown run with 5:27 left to give the 49ers their first win of 1979. San Francisco took a 7-0 lead on Freddie Solomon’s 56-yard touchdown run and went ahead 14-9 on Hofer’s two-yard run in the third quarter. The 49ers’ winning drive came after Atlanta’s Rolland Lawrence returned a blocked punt 41 yards to give the Falcons a 15-14 advantage.

 

Thanks Tom!
