Variable X-ray sources that are the afterglows of two bright gamma-ray bursts have been discovered with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer as part of an on-going campaign to rapidly observe gamma-ray bursts. The afterglow of one, GRB 970828, was first observed with a flux of about 1 mCrab 3.5 hours after the burst and then decayed with a power law for over the next 4 hours. We will compare this evolution with predictions of blast wave models for bursts.
