FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons coach Dan Quinn believes in the law of averages evening out.After watching his team struggle to score touchdowns for two years in the red zone, Quinn finally got some relief in the fourth quarter of Sundays 35-28 win at Oakland.It looked disastrous for a couple of seconds when Matt Ryans hard, short pass to Tevin Coleman ricocheted high into air. But receiver Justin Hardy pulled in the ball for a go-ahead TD, and the sideline dynamic changed.Ryan had thrown an end-zone interception in the third quarter. Another red-zone meltdown couldve been devastating.In Mondays team meeting, Quinn credited the difference in playing with awareness, a high motor and for each other.As a player thats one of the things you totally control -- how hard ?you go at it, how hard youre willing to bring it for your guys, Quinn said. Can you show that kind of toughness and determination? I was really pleased with the toughness of the guys.Hardys 8-yard catch was one example. Safety Kemal Ishmael made a fourth-down tackle in the middle of the final period to set up Atlantas last touchdown. Tight ends Jacob Tamme, Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo combined for 10 catches, 180 yards and a touchdown.Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman combined for 139 yards rushing and a TD on 29 carries. Ryan passed for 396 yards and two additional touchdowns and ran for a 2-point conversion. All-Pro receiver Julio Jones caught five passes for 106 yards and a TD.There are plenty of areas to clean up. Quinn said the defense missed 10 tackles, four on Oaklands final scoring drive. A penalty for having 12 men on the field negated a punt and extended a possession that led to a Raiders score.Cornerback Robert Alford intercepted a pass in the end zone, but the play was negated because he pushed off the receiver. The defense allowed four runs of at least 14 yards and hit quarterback Derek Carr only three times.Its an area Im not pleased with, Quinn said of the pass rush. That part of our game has to come through. Nine times we got the quarterback off his spot yesterday. Were a work in progress there for sure.Quinn was impressed, however, with how many offensive players were involved in plays on the ball. Ryan completed passes to nine different receivers. Receivers delivered on game-plan assignments to block linebackers and safeties and extend runs.We had some runs in yesterday that we hadnt shown prior, Quinn said. It was a good look (against the Raiders).The Falcons (1-1) visit New Orleans (0-2) next Monday.Game notesJones had an MRI on his right calf but is expected to be full speed for the Saints game. Jones was hurt when two defenders fell on him after a 20-yard catch in the fourth quarter. He did not play on Atlantas final possession. ... Rookie LB DeVondra Campbell (ankle) did not make the trip after getting hurt in practice last Friday. Quinn said its too early to give a timetable on his return. Sean Weatherspoon started in Campbells spot. ... Rookie SS Keanu Neal (knee) will be limited when the team returns to practice Thursday. Neal, the NFLs No. 17 overall draft pick, has been sidelined since the third week of preseason.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Yeezy . Murray beat Sam Querrey 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3 to clinch Britains opening-round victory against the United States on Sunday at Petco Park. "Im proud of the way Im playing just now, because I had to do a lot of work to get back to where I want to be," Murray said after celebrating with his teammates on the red clay court in a temporary stadium in left field of the downtown home of baseballs San Diego Padres. Yeezy China . LUCIE, Fla. https://www.fakeyeezywholesaleonline.com/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Yeezy Online . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Cheap Yeezy . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament.ATLANTA -- Nick Chubb left no doubt.Hes fully recovered from that grotesque knee injury.Less than 10 months after going down on a play thats still tough to watch, Chubb ran for 222 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead No. 18 Georgia to a 33-24 victory over No. 22 North Carolina in Kirby Smarts coaching debut Saturday night.Looking just as dominant as he did before his injury, Chubb carried a staggering 32 times and clinched the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game victory for Georgia (1-0) on a 55-yard run with 3 1-2 minutes left in the game.That dude doesnt stop, moaned North Carolina defensive lineman Nazair Jones.Chubb said he never doubted his ability to recapture the form that made him a Heisman contender before a tackle at Tennessee midway through last season caused his left knee to buckle in the wrong direction, an injury that looked so bad some wondered if it might be career ending.No way.I felt good the whole game, Chubb said. Give me the ball. I know we have a great team.Georgia also got some promising play from freshman quarterback Jacob Eason , who didnt start but was on the field as the Bulldogs rallied from a 24-14 deficit in the second half.North Carolina (0-1) ripped off 17 straight points, including a pair of touchdowns by T.J. Logan that included a 95-yard kickoff return to start the second half.Then, a pair of pass interference penalties on freshman cornerback Patrice Rene set up a touchdown that got Georgia back in the game, and two more penalties -- one an unsportsmanlike conduct call on coach Larry Fedora -- backed up the Tar Heels deep in their own territory, leading to a safety when Elijah Hood caught a short pass in the end zone and was quickly knocked down.We got the penalty on a lineman downfield. I was questioning the call. The guy didnt like what I said, so he threw a flag on me, Fedora said. Thats nobodys fault but mine.Fifth-year senior Greyson Lambert started at quarterback for Georgia, but Eason -- a touted freshman Georgia fans were clamoring to see -- hooked up with Isaiah McKenzie on a 51-yard pass that set up William Hams go-ahead, 29-yard field goal with 5:27 remaining.Smart, the longtime Alabama defensive coordinator, was coaching a team of his own for the first time. He was hired after the Bulldogs dumped Mark Richt, who wound up at Miami after 15 years leading Georgia.It felt really weird, Smart said, chuckling. A comedy of errrors.ddddddddddddI had to flip over on my headphones, trying to figure out who I was talking to. That was different for me. I was trying to find the special teams. I didnt feel like I was coaching my players, which I always felt was my best asset. It was a unique experience for me that I will build on and learn from.GEORGIAS QB QUESTIONEason looks poised to take over the Georgia quarterback job, but Smart isnt ready to make the call just yet.The freshman was 8 of 12 for 131 yards and a touchdown, while Lambert went 5 of 8 for 54 yards. The fifth-year senior also was sacked three times.There is no plan right now, said Smart, who didnt name a starter until two days before the game. Im sure all you guys (in the media) will want to know whos going to start the next game, and well start it all over again.THE TAKEAWAYNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels were eager for a signature win over a major-conference foe, but too many silly mistakes -- and that one disputed penalty -- worked against them. Despite 11 wins a year ago, they have yet to show they are ready to challenge Clemson and Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference.Georgia: The play of Chubb and Eason gives the Bulldogs plenty of reason to feel hopeful about contending in the Southeastern Conference East, especially after a shaky showing by favored Tennessee in its season opener. When running back Sony Michel returns from a broken left forearm sustained in an ATV accident -- and he sure looked good in pregame warmups -- the Bulldogs will have another offensive weapon.POLL IMPLICATIONSNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels are likely to drop out when the new rankings are unveiled Tuesday.Georgia: The Bulldogs should move up a spot and could jump a couple of teams that beat lesser opponents in Week 1.UP NEXTNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels hit the road again next Saturday to face Big Ten school Illinois.
