ATLANTA - Patrick Peterson was eager to get a shot at Julio Jones. Nike Vapormax Herren Günstig . The way the Arizona cornerback remembered it, he had won most of the duels going back to their college days in the Southeastern Conference.On Sunday, Jones was the clear winner.Peterson allowed a career performance to Atlantas star receiver, who had 10 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown as the Falcons coasted to a 29-18 victory over the punchless Cardinals.He won the matchup today, Peterson said. I mean, Cy Young winners give up home runs.The Cardinals (9-3) lost their second in a row, a once-comfortable lead in the NFC West suddenly shrinking to a single game over defending Super Bowl champion Seattle.More troubling for Arizona than Jones big day was an offence that nearly went its second straight game without scoring a touchdown. Rashad Johnsons 88-yard interception return was the only TD until Drew Stantons meaningless 3-yard scoring pass to Stepfan Taylor with 1:05 remaining.That broke a streak of 170 minutes, 1 second without an offensive touchdown — more than 11 quarters.Stanton, who took over when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending injury, threw for 294 yards but was picked off twice. It sure didnt help that star receiver Larry Fitzgerald missed his second straight game with a strained left knee and running back Andre Ellington went out in the first half with a hip injury.Were still in great position, Stanton said. Weve got to find a way to get first downs and put up points. We havent done that the last couple of weeks.Stanton was thoroughly outplayed by Atlantas Matt Ryan, who completed 30 of 41 for 361 yards with a couple of scores.The Falcons (5-7) piled up 500 yards against a team that had given up less than 300 in each of its four previous games, remaining tied for first in the woeful NFC South by matching New Orleans victory at Pittsburgh earlier in the day.Atlanta holds the tiebreaker edge over the Saints.These are the type of games youve got to win in November and December in order to play in January, Ryan said.Steven Jackson broke off a 55-yard run — his longest since 2009 — on the Falcons opening possession to set up Ryans 1-yard touchdown pass to Levine Toilolo on fourth-and-goal.Jones hauled in a 32-yard scoring pass for Atlantas other TD.Matt Bryant handled the rest of the scoring for the Falcons, setting a career high with five field goals though most of them werent much longer than extra points.The Falcons claimed their first win outside the division (they are now 1-7) and their first over a team with a winning record.Jones eclipsed his previous career best of 182 yards receiving and made sure Atlanta didnt miss its other top receiver, Roddy White, who was out with an ankle injury.(Peterson) is a very good player. We think Julio is a really good player, too, Ryan said. Julio went out and competed really hard, made some really good catches for us. He stepped up when we needed it.The Falcons lost a touchdown when Devin Hesters 70-yard punt return was wiped out by an offensive facemask penalty just short of the goal line. The odd call came as he was trying to ward off Cardinals punter Drew Butler, who appeared to have an even tighter grip on Hesters facemask.It didnt matter.About the only Arizona highlight came with the Falcons looking to build on their 17-0 lead after the first quarter. Johnson stepped in front of a pass intended for Jones and took it all the way to the end zone.You have to face adversity, Peterson said. Shes here. Its all about what type of men we have in this locker room and how were going to bounce back from it.Notes: The Cardinals missed a chance to wipe out Jones longest play, a 41-yard reception in the third quarter.

His jersey also was scattered among fans in attendance. "He is the city of San Diego. You talk Padres baseball, Tony Gwynn is everything there," Young said. Seagers homer came on a 3-0 pitch from San Diego starter Tyson Ross (6-6). Coming off a 4-for-4 performance on Sunday, Seager was given the green light and hit his 10th homer of the season.

Young was once an All-Star for the Padres and has become a valuable acquisition since joining Seattle at the end of spring training.

He matched his season high with six strikeouts. Joe Beimel, who gave up the final home run in Gwynns career, pitched one inning of relief for Seattle. Tom Wilhelmsen then got the final six outs, but couldnt complete the shutout giving up Quentins third homer of the season. Ross had allowed only one homer in his previous six starts, but struggled all night. He walked a career-high seven and at least one in every inning.
