| H, Ga. (AP) -There's no question Boston is Tom Brady's town, but another favorite son is returning for what he hopes will be a successful homecoming. Former Boston College standout Matt Ryan returns to Foxborough on Sunday as a rising star for the Atlanta Falcons, who will face Brady's New England Patriots. Ryan, the 2008 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, has enjoyed a strong start for the 2-0 Falcons and is coming off his first career game with three touchdown passes.

When Vick entered Lincoln Financial Field on that New Year's Eve back in '06, he was the franchise quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, one of the league's most dynamic and visible players, a testament to the evolution of athleticism that the NFL had encountered in the past couple of decades. More than two-and-a-half years later, at the age of 29, Vick is something different altoge |

| s. (AP) -The New England Patriots young secondary couldn't make key plays against a quarterback having an impressive rookie season. Now it must face another who already has completed one. On Sunday, the Patriots will try to stop Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons one week after losing to Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets 16-9. In two games, both wins, Ryan has thrown for five touchdowns - two to star tight end Tony Gonzalez - and just one interception after being named the NFL offensive rookie of the year |

| (MySportsbook) - It's no secret that one of the best ways to hold your opponent out of the end zone is to keep its offense on the sidelines. Case in point came during the third quarter of the Atlanta Falcons' 28-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday. Atlanta came out of the break up 21-13 and began the third quarter with a 13- play drive that went 70 yards and ate up nearly seven minutes of clock time. Though the march ended with a Michael Turner fumble, the Panthers' ensuing drive lasted j |

| Flowery Branch, GA (MySportsbook) - Atlanta Falcons rookie defensive tackle Peria Jerry will miss the remainder of the 2009 season after suffering a left knee injury in Sunday's 28-20 win over Carolina. Jerry, the 24th overall selection by Atlanta in the 2009 draft, was injured in the fourth quarter and placed on injured reserve Monday. He had one tackle in two games -- both starts -- this season.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -The Atlanta Falcons say rookie defensive tackle Peria Jerry is out for the season after injuring his right knee in a victory over the Carolina Panthers. Jerry, the team's first-round pick out of Mississippi, went down in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 28-20 victory. Coach Mike Smith said the rookie will be placed on injured reserve. The Falcons are thin along the defensive line, so the loss of Jerry is especially damaging. Thomas Johnson will likely take over Jerry's spot in th |

| Jake Delhomme and the Carolina Panthers already find themselves at a crossroads. After an utterly awful performance by both the embattled quarterback and his team in the season opener, the Panthers head to the Georgia Dome this Sunday to take on the Atlanta Falcons in a clash between the NFC South's top two squads from a year ago. Carolina hardly resembled the formidable outfit that won 12 regular-season games and edged out the upstart Falcons for the 2008 division crown in last week's home debacle against the |

The coach has been a subject of much controversy after leaving the Atlanta Falcons during the season to accept the Arkansas job two years ago. For things to turn around this fall, the Razorbacks will have to overcome a brutal schedule that features road games against Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss and LSU, arguably the four best teams |
