Owens, who was kept out of the end zone by Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall when the two faced off in the 2005 opener, took care of that blemish. Owens made a 7-yard touchdown reception with a brilliant one-handed catch, then blew past Hall to haul in a 51-yarder.
T.O. toasted both scores with the same gesture. He faced the crowd with his arms outstretched _ that's the `T' _ then clasped his hands in a circle above his head _ that's an `O.'
And this being T.O., there just had to be some controversy along the way. Owens revealed afterward that he spit in Hall's face when the cornerback was jawing at him on the third play of the game.
"He had a lot of words. I didn't," Owens said. "I just wanted to come out and prove I'm a guy to be reckoned with."
