FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons coach Dan Quinn loved watching his offense, defense and special teams make enough plays to win at New Orleans.That might sound obvious, but Quinn tries to keep his goals simple.After losing the opener to Tampa Bay and scratching out a victory at Oakland, the Falcons are coming off their most complete game since handing Carolina its only regular-season loss last December.Mondays 45-32 victory had a little bit of everything.Honestly thats what weve been trying to build where all three units have a hand in winning, Quinn said Tuesday.That was special teams on the punt return, defensively getting the turnovers and scoring with it, then offensively getting so many guys in on the attack to contribute.Quarterback Matt Ryan played one of his best games since the Falcons previously made the playoffs in 2012, completing passes to eight different receivers, throwing no interceptions and using a silent snap count to overcome the noise in the Superdome.Running backs Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman combined for 194 yards rushing -- 296 yards overall -- and four touchdowns.Their superlatives overshadowed the lack of production of All-Pro receiver Julio Jones, who was targeted seven times but caught just one pass for 16 yards. Limited by a sore ankle and calf through the first three games, Jones leads the Falcons with 188 yards receiving, but is just third on the team with 10 catches.Make no mistake -- he is our feature guy, Quinn said. There are certain coverages that go his way and opportunities come for some other players. He knows that.As the Falcons (2-1) prepare to host Carolina (1-2) on Sunday, Jones is expected to be healthy enough to fully participate in practice. Its just the fourth week of the season, so Quinn isnt concerned about Jones numbers.I wouldnt sleep on him not having many games on him having (low) numbers, Quinn said. There are things he did that definitely didnt show up in the stat sheet, but I promise you he was a factor.Defensively, Atlanta had seven pass breakups and sacked Drew Brees twice. Deion Jones returned an interception 90 yards to put the Falcons up 20 points early in the fourth quarter.But the Saints picked up at least 13 yards on seven plays in the second half. Brees too often had enough time to set his feet and make accurate throws. Running back Mark Ingram picked up too many yards after initial contact.Quinn is most concerned about the high number of big-yardage plays the Falcons are giving up.I do believe in what were doing, he said. I do believe in the players we have. I just know well play like were capable of. Weve got a lot of work to do, but I do remember its a process were building and we have some new parts in here.Game notes Ryan hurt his left thumb in the fourth quarter, but Quinn doesnt expect him to be limited when the team returns to practice Wednesday. ... WR Mohamed Sanu, who hurt his shoulder in the first half and didnt return, will likely be limited this week. ... Quinn said rookie LB DeVondre Campbell, out with an ankle injury since Week 1, will run on the side, but Quinn said it was too early to tell if he will be ready to play.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Lebron Shoes For Sale .

BALTIMORE -- Surrounded by the two players he secured shortly before the non-waiver trade deadline, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette flashed a proud smile.Left-handed starter Wade Miley sat on Duquettes right side and Steve Pearce was on the left at an introductory news conference Tuesday.The addition of Miley, a veteran left-handed starter, and Pearce, a solid utility man with long-ball power, just might be the difference in first-place Baltimores bid to reach the postseason for the second time in three years.Miley was obtained in a trade with Seattle and Pearce came from Tampa Bay.Our scouts have followed Wade for several years, Duquette said. We tried to trade for him when he was in Arizona (from 2011-14). We tried to trade for him again when the Red Sox sent him to Seattle (last December). We didnt really match up. So now we have him. We think hes a good fit. If he can keep the ball on the ground, hes going to help stabilize our rotation.The 33-year-old Pearce played with Baltimore in 2012 and from 2013 through last year.Steve helps us in a lot of different areas, Duquette said. He can play the infield, he can pinch hit, he can play a couple different outfield positions and hes a terrific defensive first baseman.Miley went 7-8 with a 4.98 ERA with the Mariners but was coming off a sound outing against the Chicago Cubs in which he allowed one run over seven innings. Now, the 29-year-old hopes to keep the momentum rolling with the Orioles.When I first found out, I was excited, to go from a third-place team to a first-place team overnight, Miley said.ddddddddddddTheres nothing wrong with that. So hopefully I can just come in here and not screw that up.Pearce left a Rays team that was 20 games under .500. He returns to a place where hes enjoyed some of his best seasons in the majors.We were struggling down there in Florida, Pearce said. So to come from worst place to first place is definitely a better situation. Im excited, especially with the group thats in there right now. Ive been playing with those guys forever. So Im ready to pick up where we left off and pave the way toward the playoffs.Both players provide Baltimore with an instant fix, but Miley comes with a contract that extends through 2017 with a club option for 2018. That wasnt necessarily the motivation for Duquette to make the deal, but it sure didnt hurt.Hes got all the qualities to help our club, and not just for this year, for next year, Duquette said.Miley cant wait to get started. Manager Buck Showalter said its likely the lefty will make his Baltimore debut on Thursday night against the Texas Rangers.Im just going to go out when its my turn to pitch and just try to give us a chance to win, he said. Thats kind of what Ive done throughout my career. Just go out and compete.Pearce will probably get his first start on Wednesday, Showalter said.To make room for the newcomers on the roster, the Orioles optioned pitchers Tyler Wilson and Odrisamer Despaigne to Triple-A Norfolk.
