Lewis was deactivated last week for the Ravens tilt against the Tennessee Titans with a back injury. He had appeared in the Ravens first eight games this season, recording 65 tackles, one sack and two interceptions. Heap was active for the Ravens' 27-26 victory over Tennessee, catching four balls for 49 ya |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - In any evaluation of the league's top pass rushes heading into 2006, two teams stood out above the rest. The Atlanta Falcons had just added defensive end John Abraham to start opposite the reliable Patrick Kerney. The New York Giants had Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora at their defensive end slots, and used a first-round pick on Mathias Kiwanuka, Strahan's heir apparent who wasn't expected to see the field much in '06.

On Sunday, the Browns took a significant step towards respectability by earning a 17-13 victory over the playoff-hopeful Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. It was Cleveland's first triumph over a team with a winning record in the 1 1/2-year tenure of the Crennel era. The Browns did everything a good team is supposed to do.

| (MySportsbook) - In a span of two short weeks, the Atlanta Falcons' 2006 season has quickly gone from potentially great to potentially depressing. After closing out October with back-to-back stirring victories over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, Atlanta sat at 5-2 and was looking more and more like the team to beat in the NFC South, not to mention a serious contender for the conference crown. All that momentum has been washed away, however, after the team's second consecutive loss to a seemingly inferior oppone |

| (MySportsbook) - You would think that being the most unsuccessful team in the NFL over the past six years would ensure that you don't fall victim to any trap games. But after defeating the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9 to improve to 2-6, the Lions dropped a game at home against the still-rebuilding San Francisco 49ers. The loss leaves Detroit with a record of 2-7, and renders the rest of this season as darn-near academic. When asked if, coming into week 10, his team was still thinking about the Falcons win, hea |

| Atlanta, GA (MySportsbook) - Atlanta Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney will undergo season-ending surgery for a pectoral injury suffered in last Sunday's game against Cleveland, the team announced on Monday. Kerney suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Falcons' 17-13 home loss when he tackled Browns tight end Steve Heiden. In nine games this season, the 1999 first-round draft pick has recorded a team-high five sacks and two forced fumbles. |

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -Patrick Kerney has been the ironman of the Atlanta Falcons defense, starting 105 games in a row. The streak is over. Kerney, a Pro Bowl defensive end in 2004 who leads the team with five sacks, was lost for the season after tearing his right pectoral muscle in a loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Falcons announced Monday night that Kerney will need surgery. Losing Kerney is the most serious blow yet for a unit that was already missing three starters Sunday, including three-tim |

This time, he was discussing Detroit's 19-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a game that came a week after the Lions manhandled a high-flying Atlanta Falcons team. ``That was a winnable game, and I offer no excuses and I have no excuses,'' Marinelli said. ``What we need to get done is that consistent performance each and every week. That's what it takes to win championships in this league.'' Several |

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -Michael Vick is getting a little defensive about his sloppy play. So are the Atlanta Falcons. While saying that he takes ``sole responsibility'' for his team's offensive problems, Vick seemed to call out others after a dismal 17-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns, which came on the heels of an equally disappointing setback at Detroit. In those two games, the Falcons quarterback committed six turnovers. The four interceptions were bad enough, but he also had two fumbles that occurr |
