LANDOVER, Md., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Atlanta broke a four-game losing streak with a 24-14 win at Washington.

The Falcons scored the game's final 24 points after falling behind, 14-0, in the first quarter.

Beleaguered Michael Vick threw two touchdown passes and added 59 yards on 10 rushing attempts.

Jerious Norwood scored a touchdown on a 69-yard run and gained 107 yards on nine carries; and both Alge Crumpler and Michael Jenkins caught touchdown passes for the Falcons, who evened their record at 6-6.

An exhausted Vick left the game for one play midway through the fourth quarter after appearing to tweak both of his hamstrings.

Jason Campbell threw one touchdown pass and two interceptions on 18 of 38 passing for 217 yards; Ladell Betts rushed for a touchdown on 28 carries for a career-high 155 yards; and Santana Moss caught a touchdown pass on seven catches for 123 yards for the Redskins (4-8), who have lost three of their last four games.
