NFL game summary for 10/12/1975:

Falcons' rookie quarterback Steve Bartkowski had to leave the game in the third period because of a left elbow injury, but before departing he hit tight end Jim Mitchell with a nine-yard touchdown pass and completed five passes in a second scoring drive climaxed by Haskell Stanback's 26-yard run. Atlanta's defense, meanwhile, sacked San Francisco passers six times and cornerback Rolland Lawrence and linebacker Greg Brezina each picked off two interceptions.
