PHILADELPHIA -- The Atlanta Falcons entered Sundays game boasting the leagues top offense, but Eagles cornerback Leodis McKelvin felt there was a weakness to exploit.I was telling the defense, this is the type of team, they are a front-runner. They are a front-running team, he said. If you go out there and make some stops, they eventually are going to be dying down.McKelvin started the game as a spectator due to a hamstring injury but was called into action after fellow corner Nolan Carroll II left with a concussion.McKelvin factored into several plays, and he ended up with the game-sealing interception, which he said was the result of the Falcons going to the same well one too many times.They actually ran the same play back-to-back, McKelvin said. Dont do that. That was just a bad mistake. They ran the same play back-to-back, and I made a play.It wasnt all pretty for McKelvin. He bit badly on a fake by Falcons wide receiver?Taylor Gabriel that led to a 76-yard touchdown, then failed to take advantage of a couple opportunities, including a gift interception down the stretch that could have iced the game. He got a shot at redemption, however, and cashed in with the late pick.Third time is the charm, he said with a smile. They came back with the same play.The Falcons came into the game boasting the leagues top offense, ranking first in scoring (34 points per game) and second in both passing and total yards per game. The Eagles defense held the Falcons to just one touchdown and a season-low in points in a 24-15 victory at Lincoln Financial Field.Ryan finished the game 18-of-33 for 267 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Wide receiver?Julio Jones had his typically productive day, catching 10 balls for 135 yards, but was kept out of the end zone and had a key drop with 5 minutes, 26 seconds remaining.Hey, man, aint nobody perfect, as you all can see. I mean, hes a great player, you all see that as well. Great players mess up sometimes, said McKelvin. Great players drop balls. ... Hes still a great player, but, thank you, Julio.McKelvin was asked for his thoughts overall on the Falcons offense after seeing them up close.We played Pittsburgh ... they were saying that they were one of the high-powered offenses coming into this game, theyve got Antonio Brown?--?that was no different to this game, said McKelvin. They ended up coming in here being the No. 1-ranked offense in the NFL, and were one of the top defenses in the NFL, so, defense wins. Thats how I see it.Nike Tn Trainers Sale . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room.

Air Max 97 Gold For Sale . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap.WACO, Texas -- Baylor coach Scott Drew certainly gets why the Bears were overlooked going into this season.On paper with us losing our senior point guard, a lottery pick, the schools all-time leading rebounder, with us having only one senior this year, you understand why people werent voting for us in the Top 25, Drew said.The Bears (8-0) are getting plenty of votes now after an impressive start with three wins over top 10 teams, propelling them from not a single vote less than a month ago to their highest AP ranking in six seasons.The fact that weve been able to win these games against quality teams has given us the recognition and attention that the players have earned, Drew said.Initially, it was easy to discount the Bears 66-49 win over then-No. 4 Oregon the first week of the season since the Ducks were playing without injured preseason All-America forward Dillon Brooks. But the next week, after getting into the poll at 20th, the Bears won the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in Bahamas with come-from-behind wins over No. 24 Michigan State and No. 10 Louisville. After Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitinos Cardinals jumped out to a 25-5 lead in the title game, and still led by 18 at the half, Baylor rallied to win 66-63.And then last weekend as the No. 9 team, former Miami transfer guard Manu Lecomte scored 24 points and the Bears rallied in the second half to beat then-No. 7 Xavier 76-61 at home. It was the first time Baylor has ever won a matchup of top-10 teams.Rankings dont matter, said junior forward Johnathan Motley, their leading scorer and rebounder (16.3 points, 8.1 rebounds per game). Were just going to step between those lines and handle business.The Bears, with three wins over top 10 teams in the same season for the first time ever, are in an extended break during final exams before playing at home Wednesday against Southern. They will be overwhelming favorites for all four games remaining before their Big 12 opener Dec. 30 at Oklahoma. That inclludes a game at Fort Hood, the second year in a row playing for soldiers at one of the nations largest Army posts only about an hour from their campus.ddddddddddddAfter their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance last season, the Bears lost three seniors -- Taurean Prince, the 12th overall pick in the NBA draft; Rico Gathers, the career rebounding leader now trying to become an NFL tight end on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad; and two-year starting guard Lester Medford.Lecomte, who was born in Belgium, practiced with the Bears and ran with the scout team last season. He is now averaging 13.9 points a game, with 42 assists and only 17 turnovers.Normally during a sit-out year, a transfer year, players tend to look really good. Thats because they have no pressure, they get to run scout team, they get to get all the shots, coaches arent yelling at them, Drew said. So we always temper expectations and thoughts on those players until they show it in games, and Manus definitely proving what we saw in practice was reality.Jo Lual-Acuil, a 7-footer who also sat out last season after transferring from a junior college, is averaging 9.4 points and 7.8 rebounds for Baylor. Nuni Omot, a 6-9 junior college transfer, could make his Baylor debut during the Christmas break after being academically ineligible during the fall semester.Lecomte insisted that he didnt hear the We want Kansas! chants from the home fans during the closing minutes of the victory over Xavier. Baylor doesnt play the third-ranked Jayhawks until February.We know what you did doesnt define what youre going to do, Drew said. We know its a race to improve each and every day, and be at the best at the end of the season. Hopefully were staying humble and were staying hungry.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
