CHARLOTTE, N. Tug McGraw Jersey .C. - Matt Ryan is as surprised as anyone that the Atlanta Falcons are tied for first in the NFC South with a 4-6 record.Hes certainly not complaining.Its been a different year, for sure, Ryan said. You play to be relevant in November and December. As quirky as this seasons been, were relevant.Ryan threw for 268 yards and a touchdown, Matt Bryant added four field goals and the Falcons held off a late rally by the Carolina Panthers to win 19-17 on Sunday.Bryants 44-yard field goal with 2:08 left put Atlanta ahead for good. Cam Newton threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes for Carolina, but Graham Gano missed a 46-yard field goal try with 1:27 remaining and had a 63-yarder blocked as time expired.The Falcons moved into a tie with New Orleans for the division lead after the Saints lost at home to Cincinnati 27-10.The way our season is going, were happy to have any win, Falcons defensive tackle Corey Peters said.Newton overcame two early interceptions and threw for 292 yards, but it wasnt enough for the Panthers, who have lost five straight and are 1-7-1 since starting the season 2-0. Itd be easy to say the Panthers are done, yet they still control their playoff destiny.Well, somebody is trying to give us a gift, Panthers cornerback Josh Norman said of the Saints loss. The craziest part about it all is were still in it.When asked if the Panthers still deserve to be in the playoff hunt, Norman replied, Does anybody in the NFC South deserve to be in it?The Panthers trailed 16-3 in the fourth quarter before a sluggish Newton started to heat up.Rookie Kelvin Benjamin made a juggling 22-yard touchdown catch in the left corner of the end zone to give the Panthers some life. Then another rookie receiver, Philly Brown, got behind cornerback Robert McClain and caught a 47-yard score as he fell back into the end zone to briefly give the Panthers a 17-16 lead.But Ryan moved the Falcons into field goal range, completing three passes for 29 yards to Harry Douglas to set up Bryants clutch kick.I try to simplify things as much as I can, Bryant said.He often jokes that its like the golf movie Happy Gilmore: I try to go to a happy place.Everythings working out, he added, so Ill keep doing what Im doing.Newton still had something left, moving Carolina to the Atlanta 29. Gano then hooked the potential game-winner from 46 yards out wide left.The Panthers forced a punt and moved into Atlanta territory behind a pair of hook-and-ladder plays to set up a desperation try for Gano. But his kick was low and blocked by rookie RaShede Hagemen as time expired.I have to pull through and make the kick, Gano said. Thats what it comes down to. No excuses. Im not going to sit here and explain why I missed the kick. My job is to put it through the uprights.Roddy White, who had eight catches for 75 yards, caught a 4-yard TD pass from Ryan to give the Falcons a 16-3 lead.Things got heated after that.Devin Hester was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after knocking a Carolina player off the pile at the end of a play, igniting a lot of pushing and shoving. Two snaps later, Carolinas Thomas Davis stripped Hester and Luke Kuechly recovered, starting another brief altercation with Jacquizz Rodgers taking down Kuechly, although no flag was thrown.The day started off rough for Newton.After he was sacked nine times in Carolinas 45-21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, defensive Tyler Jackson raced in unblocked and delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit on the quarterback on Carolinas first play from scrimmage. Jackson was flagged for a 15-yard penalty, but Newton got up holding his chin.Newton didnt seem sharp until late in the game, but the two-time Pro Bowler said the hit didnt affect him.NOTES: Benjamin finished with 109 yards receiving for the Panthers. ... The Falcons are 4-0 in the division, beating Tampa Bay twice and Carolina and New Orleans once each.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Tim Tebow Jersey . “Momentum is only as good as the next days starter,” the long-time Baltimore Orioles manager famously quipped.

Curtis Davies and Robert Koren secured the victory with goals inside 35 minutes of the fifth-round replay against the second-tier side.ZURICH - FIFA has agreed to ban third-party ownership of players which allows outside investors to profit from transfers.FIFA President Sepp Blatter said a working group will now draft detailed rules, which will need to be phased in over several seasons.The decision on Friday is a political victory for UEFA and its president, Michel Platini, who have repeatedly urged FIFA to act.I am very happy for players that FIFA has followed UEFAs initiative and recommendation to outlaw the practice of third-party ownership, Platini said in a statement.Third-party ownership (TPO) is popular with agents, investors and clubs in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. It was banned in England following a controversy over Carlos Tevez signing for West Ham in 2006.Supporters argue it helps clubs sign players they could otherwise not afford.UEFA believes the practice drains huge sums of money frrom the sport, and leads players to be transferred regularly to generate profits for their part-owners. Jacob deGrom Jersey. .It threatens the integrity of our competitions, damages footballs image, poses a long-term threat to clubs finances and even raises questions about human dignity, Platini said.The global group of players unions also opposes what it sees as investors interfering in players careers.A TPO ban cannot come soon enough, FIFPro Secretary-General Theo van Seggelen said in a statement. Every day that TPO exists is a lost day.The FIFA panel drafting rules will meet next week.FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said details will be agreed by the executive committee in December or March.Valcke suggested a full ban could take effect in three or four years.Clubs need time to buy out some investors and for existing contracts of players affected to expire.
