they can do that? (still getting the hang of the scoring a bit :p)

they just scored a field goal, so it's 27-28 now, pretty close, they almost got another touchdown

Yes, after a touchdown a team can either kick a field goal for one point or try to move the ball into the endzone again for two points. The latter is more difficult, so it's usually not done. But had Atlanta gone for two and converted, it would have been 25-28, so they could have tied the game with a field goal later on.

ah okay, cool, as they are now 31-27 behind they may well regret not doing so!
