user: Problem: at the Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia Hoping to rebound from their Saturday night loss to the Cowboys and keep any playoff hope alive, the Falcons stayed at home for Christmas Eve as they played an NFC South grudge match with the Carolina Panthers.  In the first quarter, Atlanta struck first with kicker Morten Andersen nailing a 40-yard field goal for the only score of the period.  However, in the second quarter, the Panthers took the lead and won with QB Chris Weinke completing a 1-yard TD pass to TE Jeff King and kicker John Kasay completing a 42-yard field goal.  Afterwards, defense ruled the game and the Falcons ended up on the losing end.  QB Michael Vick would end up with a dismal 9/20 for 109 yards with No Touchdowns and 2 Interceptions, yet he would become the very first quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season before being suspended for the next two years. This would be the last time we saw Vick in a Falcon Uniform. The Bad News: Atlanta fell to 7-8 and also fell out of the playoff race with the New York Giants Week 17 Sat. night win over the Washington Redskins.  The Good News: Carolina also failed to make the playoffs.

Which team did the Cowboys play Saturday night?
Answer: Falcons

Problem: The Chargers rallied from a 21-point deficit, and Novak kicked the game-winning 40-yard field goal in overtime to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 38-35. Rivers, who sat out practice earlier in the week with back and chest injuries, overcame three interceptions to throw for 356 yards and four TDs. The Chargers, who played the game without injured offensive stars Allen and Mathews, outscored the 49ers 31-7 after halftime. The win kept San Diego's slim playoff chances alive. The 49ers led 28-7 at halftime, aided by a 49-yard TD return of a Rivers interception by Antoine Bethea. San Francisco rushed for 365 yards, the most the Chargers had surrendered since Adrian Peterson set a single-game record of 296 in 2007. Running back Frank Gore had 158, and quarterback Colin Kaepernick added 151, including a 90-yard TD run in the third quarter. In the fourth, Gates caught one of his two touchdowns in the second half, and Rivers connected with Floyd with 29 seconds remaining for the game-tying score, set up by two long fourth-down conversions earlier in the drive. The game went into overtime after 49ers kicker Phil Dawson missed a 60-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation. On the opening drive in overtime, Weddle forced a fumble by receiver Quinton Patton, which was recovered by San Diego's Sean Lissemore. The Chargers drove, and Novak hit the game-winner nearly five minutes into the extra period. Rivers completed 33 of 54 passes in the game. The Chargers were playing with their fifth-string center, and rookie right guard Jeremiah Sirles was making his NFL debut. The offense converted all three of their fourth-down conversions after entering the game with the worst conversions rate at 20% (1-of-5). It was the 49ers fourth consecutive loss. It was only the second time ever that San Francisco had lost after leading by 21 or more at the half.

How many is the difference of the yards San Francisco rushed for and the yards Gore had?
Answer: 207

Problem: The Giants had not beaten the Falcons at home in five tries since 1979, but it was a must-win game this time. The Giants were missing veteran linebacker Antonio Pierce, who was nursing a bulging disc in his neck, and the Falcons' star running back Michael Turner was also out with a high ankle sprain. The Giants took an early lead on Tynes' first-quarter field goal, but the Falcons responded with third-string running back Jason Snelling's 7-yard touchdown run. Boss caught two touchdown passes in the second quarter, one of them from 28 yards out. In the third quarter, Snelling and Jacobs traded short touchdown runs. Giants fullback Madison Hedgecock opened the scoring in the fourth quarter by catching his first touchdown of the season, but Falcons receiver Eric Weems caught his second of the year on the ensuing drive. In a sort of d&#233;j&#224; vu moment for the Giants, another opponent's comeback took them right up until the final minute; tight end Tony Gonzalez caught the tying touchdown with 35 seconds left in regulation. The Giants won the overtime coin toss, and then drove 45 yards to set up Tynes' winning field goal, ending the Giants' skid at 4 games.

How many field goals were there?
