The Falcons knotted the score nearly 3 1/2 minutes later when Ito Smith plunged in from the 1-yard line.

The Titans moved back ahead with 2:26 remaining in the quarter when Mariota threw an 11-yard scoring pass to Brown in the right side of the end zone.

Tennessee stretched its lead to 17-7 when Cairo Santos booted a 45-yard field goal with 10:03 left in the second quarter. The lead grew to 17 when Mariota connected with Davis for a 23-yard touchdown pass with 2:23 left.

Atlanta kicker Matt Bryant clanked a 32-yard field-goal attempt off the left upright with 30 seconds left in the half.

Bryant had better luck in the third quarter when he made a 42-yarder to pull the Falcons within 24-10 with 11:39 remaining.
