Gems erase a 17-point deficit for their first win

Philadelphia Mongrels at Atlanta Gems

Atlanta Gems (1–2) claim their first victory, edging Philadelphia Mongrels (1–2) 18–17. Philadelphia scores all 17 points before Atlanta’s first touchdown. The Gems answer with one touchdown in each of the first three quarters and hold the one-point lead through a scoreless fourth.

Philadelphia’s opening total consists of two penalty points, a touchdown and nine conversion points. Hooper #33, Ezell #0 and Worrell #91 each receive three named conversion points. The Mongrels’ touchdown is a team-only credit: its saved resolution names an opposing defender, not a Philadelphia scorer.

Barkley #11 scores Atlanta’s second-quarter touchdown and records ten named net spaces. Atlanta’s first- and third-quarter touchdowns remain team-only. The Gems add no conversion points; their three regulation touchdowns provide all 18.

Lomax #4 records Atlanta’s interception in the third quarter, and Causey #58 receives the Gems’ named sack credit. Atlanta has 44 team net field spaces to Philadelphia’s 37. Ezell records eleven named spaces for Philadelphia. An accepted opening penalty annuls the preceding play; its two awarded points stay with the team.

Atlanta’s McMillian #61 and Philadelphia’s Hough #47 have recorded injuries. No future absence is inferred.
