ATLANTA -- It may be a long time before Julio Jones sees another rookie cornerback assigned to him in man coverage.Give credit to Jones for taking advantage of that mismatch Sunday and proving again that hes one of the NFLs top receivers.Jones had the leagues first 300-yard receiving game in three years and Atlanta beat Carolina 48-33.The Falcons (3-1) strengthened their early hold on the NFC South lead. Carolina (1-3) had increased reason for concern even before losing quarterback Cam Newton to a concussion in the fourth quarter.Atlantas offense, already ranked first in the NFL in points and yards, continued to roll in its second straight game scoring 45 or more points and third straight with at least 35.Matt Ryan passed for a team-record 503 yards and four touchdowns, while Jones had 12 receptions for 300 yards to set another Falcons record.According to information provided to the Falcons from Elias, it is the first time teammates posted the 500-300 combo in a game.Panthers rookie cornerback James Bradberry was overwhelmed in his tough assignment to cover Jones. It didnt take long for the mismatch to become obvious.Ryan completed passes to Jones on Atlantas first three plays for 22, 14 and 15 yards, showing the Falcons plan to take advantage of a secondary still struggling to replace Josh Norman, now with Washington.They put the young corner on me man to man ... and Matt made some great decisions today, Jones said.The Panthers had success containing Atlantas running game, but it mattered little with Jones making catch after catch.We tried to cover him, said Panthers coach Ron Rivera. We did some things and apparently it didnt work and he did some good things and made some really big plays. ... It was hard. We thought we had a good plan coming in.Jones had a 75-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.It was a humbling loss for the Panthers, the defending NFC champions.Rivera said it is time to find out who we are.Well find out about our character and whether or not were going to head in the right direction, Rivera said. Thats the biggest thing more than anything else. Its not time to panic. Weve been there before.Here are some things we learned from the Falcons win:NEWTON OUT: The Panthers may have to face Tampa Bay next Monday night without Newton. Due to NFL policy on players sustaining concussions, Newton was not available for postgame interviews and Rivera had no update on the injury. Derek Anderson, who threw two interceptions and two touchdowns after replacing Newton, would be the fill-in starter.He did some really good things with the exception of the one he thought he was throwing away, Rivera said.BALANCE IS GOOD: Jones big day overshadowed another successful effort by Ryan to distribute his passes to many receivers. He completed passes to nine players. Jacob Tamme, Austin Hooper and Aldrick Robinson also had scoring catches.Its been really good for us spreading the ball around and getting a lot of different people involved, Ryan said.STILL A CHANCE: Perhaps the most encouraging sign for Rivera was seeing his team rally to trail only 41-33 before Robert Alfords 30-yard interception return for a touchdown ended the comeback hopes.We gave ourselves every opportunity and just didnt get it done, Rivera said. I have to find a way to make sure we do going forward.CALVIN AND JULIO: Jones is only the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to have at least 300 yards receiving in a game. He is the first since Detroits Calvin Johnson had 329 yards against Dallas on Oct. 8, 2013.INJURIES: Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis left the game with a hamstring injury early in the second half. Wide receiver Devin Funchess left the game in the fourth quarter with a toe injury. Bradberry returned after he was taken to the locker room in the first quarter with a left toe injury.Falcons linebackers Jones and Sean Weatherspoon sustained calf injuries.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount Fake Shoes .

LONDON -- Its been a lively start to the season finale at the O2 Arena, with Novak Djokovic almost tagging Boris Becker and Andy Murray making his debut as world No. 1.The top two players in the world are edging closer to a straight battle for the year-end No. 1 spot, though there are plenty of other storylines developing at the Tour Finals.Here are five things to watch out for Tuesday:?1. Has Djokovic cooled off?Novak got a little wound up by one British journalist in his news conference after being Dominic Thiem.He didnt react too well when it was suggested he may have been close to hitting a fan when he struck a ball in frustration towards his players box after losing a first-set tiebreaker.Venting his anger on-court may have worked -- he lost just two more games on his way to victory -- but his post-match outburst added fuel to the feeling Djokovic is still not quite himself.It has been a rocky six months for the Serb since winning the French Open, culminating in him losing the No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray.He will need to show he can deal with the pressure of battling back from adversity, something he has rarely had to do the past several years.2. Can Raonic snap his winless streak vs. Novak?It is seven matches and seven defeats against the current world No. 2 for Milos Raonic, who got off the mark with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Gael Monfils Sunday evening.The Canadian admitted it would be quite the step up.He was very commanding towards the end of his match [against Thiem], Raonic said of Djokovic. He really stepped up after a difficult, slow start.Its going to be a difficult task that I have ahead of me. I feel like Im doing some things well. I feel like I can do some things better.I was quite proficient on returning [against Monfils]. I took care of my serve like I hoped to. Thats what my game depends on. I hope I can keep moving forward.3. Will the real Monfils stand up?After all these years hes finally here. Its been a long time waiting for one of the most highly touted players of this era, and the 30-year-old Gael Monfils Tour Finals debut was one to forget.I simply love it, the Frenchman said, of his first experience playing at the O2 Arena, in a straight-sets defeat to Milos Raonic.But hopefully Monfils wants to prove he is here in London to do more than just make up the numbers.Well give him the benefit of the doubt against Raonic. I came heree with not even a week of practice.dddddddddddd, he said. Even when youre 100 percent, its tough to beat those guys. Hes No. 4 in the world.Next up is Thiem. Its going to be a tough one, Monfils said. Not much time for me to recover. To be honest, a bit sore. I can feel it straightaway, so its not a good sign. Its a while I didnt play with pressure, I guess, in a tournament, with competition.Dominic is a fantastic player. He play from the baseline. Maybe give me a bit more time than Milos.4. Time for Thiem to turn it onDominic Thiem is 23. He has won titles on all four surfaces. But he wilted spectacularly under scoreboard pressure, after going a set up against Novak Djokovic.There are so many things to improve, the Austrian said after his opening defeat, I think there were too many unforced errors in the first few shots, in the rallies. Yeah, other things were good, other things were bad.For the man touted as one of the next big stars of the mens game, Thiem has had a number of early losses since reaching the French Open semifinals -- he has failed to make it past the second round at Wimbledon, Kitzbuhel, Toronto, Beijing, Vienna and Paris.He will need to find another gear against Monfils if he doesnt want another early departure in London.5. Can Jamie Murray cap off a stellar year?All the talk has centred on Andy Murrays bid to finish the year on top of the rankings, but his brother Jamie is also in with a shout of finishing as doubles No. 1.He and Bruno Soares will be looking to cap off a memorable 2016 with the doubles crown here, after winning the Australian Open and US Open.Tuesdays afternoon session throws up an intriguing battle against the Bryan brothers, with both teams having won their opening matches.Its always exciting to play against them, said Murray. Theyre clearly the best team in history with the amount of titles they won. They always bring a great energy to the court. We all look up to them. We all aspire to kind of get to their level.Of course, probably theyre starting to kind of decline a little bit. But thats always going to happen when youve won so much, and time has taken on.Were really fired up to play against them. Should be a great match. Well, Im looking forward to it. I hope Bruno is, as well. ' ' '
