ATLANTA -- Devonta Freeman more than made up for his first fumble of the season.Freeman rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns Sunday, leading the Falcons to a 41-13 rout of the San Francisco 49ers that clinched Atlantas first winning season since 2012.The third-year back capped his big day with a 34-yard touchdown run .He preferred to focus on a fumble just short of the end zone that kept the high-scoring Falcons from putting up TDs on their first five possessions against San Franciscos horrible defense.I never settle, Freeman said. Its crazy, but at the end of the night Im going to say `Dang! I had a fumble. Thats my first fumble of the year. I hate fumbling.Matt Ryan completed 17 of 23 passes for 286 yards, including a pair of 9-yard scoring tosses to Taylor Gabriel and Austin Hooper.Aldrick Robinson, stepping up with Atlanta star Julio Jones missing his second straight game with a toe injury, had a career-best 111 yards on four receptions.It just lets you know how much depth we have and how much we think about those guys, Freeman said. Weve got hungry guys.Atlanta (9-5) began the day tied with Tampa Bay for the NFC South lead. The Falcons made sure they didnt overlook the 49ers (1-13), moving a step closer to getting back to the playoffs after a three-season absence.When you get into December football, you better do that, coach Dan Quinn said. Every time you have a chance to go battle, you better have your intent right, your preparation right.In an interesting twist, the Falcons previous winning season ended with a loss to San Francisco in the NFC championship game .The 49ers have totally fallen apart since that trip to the Super Bowl. They extended a franchise record with their 13th straight loss, keeping the heat on first-year coach Chip Kelly.Thats a really good offensive football team, Kelly said Its a team that could make some hay in the playoffs.Freeman nearly had four touchdowns, but the ball was yanked out of his hand inside the 1 as he attempted to power into the end zone.Im going to remember that fumble because Ill never be perfect, but it could have been perfect if I had not fumbled, he said.No one else was too concerned after the third three-touchdown game of his career. Freeman scored on a 5-yard run in the first quarter, bounced off three would-be tacklers for a 9-yard TD in the second, and got loose down the sideline for his longest run of the day late in the third to give the Falcons a 38-13 lead.Colin Kaepernick was 20 of 33 for 183 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also was sacked three times.For Atlanta, it was the second straight laugher over a team from California. The Falcons built a 42-0 lead the previous week on the way to a 42-14 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.As in that game, Ryan and many of the starters watched the final minutes from the sideline.SCORING MARKThe Falcons set a franchise record for points in season, pushing their total with 469. That eclipsed the mark of 442 set by the 1998 Super Bowl team, with two weeks still to go in the regular season.Atlanta has scored more than 40 points in five games, and at least 30 four other times.DEFENSE STEPS UPAfter giving up a pair of 75-yard touchdown drives in the first half, the Falcons defense totally shut down the 49ers over the final two quarters. San Francisco was held to 85 yards and four first downs after trailing 28-13 at the break.We go out there and take every game like a championship week, Atlanta safety Ricardo Allen said. It doesnt matter what the record is.INJURY REPORTThe 49ers lost wide receiver Quinton Patton, linebacker Nick Bellore, tight end Blake Bell and cornerback Jimmie Ward with injuries. Patton (foot) and Bellore (elbow) left in the first half. Bell and Ward were declared out with shoulder injuries in the second half.Falcons linebacker DeVondre Campbell left with a concussion, and Hooper was carted off in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury.UP NEXTSan Francisco: The 49ers wind down a lost season by traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Rams, the team they defeated in Week 1 for their lone victory .Atlanta: Head to Carolina on Saturday to take on the Panthers in the final road game of the regular season.

As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

LEICESTER, England -- Leicesters decision to prioritize the Champions League over the Premier League is being vindicated.Riyad Mahrez made it three wins out of three for Leicester in Group G on Tuesday, clinching a 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen that left his team requiring only one win from its final three games to make the knockout phase.Halfway through the group stage, Leicester holds a five-point lead over Copenhagen and FC Porto. Danish league leader Copenhagen had been unbeaten in 21 matches in all competitions before being sunk by Mahrezs first-half goal.The most important thing was to be solid because Copenhagen is difficult to play against -- all the players are strong and physical, Mahrez said. But we did it.Mahrez had been restored to the starting lineup after being rested on Saturday at Chelsea, only coming off the bench in the second half of the 3-0 loss in London.While Leicester is thriving in European footballs elite competition, Claudio Ranieris team is floundering in its English title defense.Leicester has more points from three European games (nine) than from eight Premier League games (eight) this season, with the central England team only two points above the relegation zone at home.When you play in the Champions League your mind is more concentrated, you are very, very focused on the match, Ranieri said. Of course you lose something when you play in the (Premier) League.dddddddddddd But I hope soon we can change this mood ... our goal is now to change our concentration in the Premier League.Leicesters domestic struggles have been epitomized by the goal drought being endured by Jamie Vardy, who was the teams top scorer last season during the astonishing run to a first Premier League title.Although Vardy failed to score for an eighth successive game on Tuesday, the striker was the architect of the only goal against the Danish visitors at the King Power Stadium. Five minutes before halftime, Vardys cross was headed by Islam Slimani to fellow Algerian Mahrez, who flicked the ball into the net from close range.Leicester had a goal ruled out in the second half when Slimani was adjudged to be offside when he met Marc Albrightons cross.In the closing minutes, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichels superb reflexes secured the three points for Leicester by keeping out Andreas Cornelius shot with a one-handed save.Repeating the victory in the reverse fixture in two weeks in Copenhagen will guarantee a top-two finish for Leicester in Group G and secure passage to the round of 16.In the other Group G game, FC Porto beat Club Brugge 2-1 to condemn the bottom-place Belgian side to a third successive loss.
