ATLANTA -- Matt Ryan had little to show for his two possessions -- no completions, no first downs and no fun.At least he could then enjoy watching Matt Schaubs successful homecoming.Making a successful return to his first NFL home, Schaub passed for 179 yards, leading three scoring drives, and the Atlanta Falcons beat the Washington Redskins 23-17 on Thursday night.It was good to be back in the Georgia Dome, Schaub said.Schaub began his career with the Falcons as Michael Vicks backup from 2004-06. He played seven seasons as Houstons starter and the past two years with Baltimore and Oakland.Schaub, 35, played most of the first half and solidified his status as Ryans top backup.After Ryan was 0 for 4, Schaub moved the offense by finding Aldrick Robinson for long passes of 47 and 68 yards. The two also were together last season in Baltimores camp.I worked with him a lot last year, Schaub said. So I kind of just picked up where we left off.Schaub completed 10 of 15 passes for 179 yards, giving Atlanta a 13-3 halftime lead.Falcons rookie J.D. McKissic returned a kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown to open the second half.Redskins starter Kirk Cousins completed each of his five passes for 39 yards on his only possession.Good first step, as preseason game number one ought to be, Cousins said.Colt McCoy played the remainder of the first half, completing 7 of 11 passes for 53 yards. McCoy led Washington to its only scoring drive of the half, a 41-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins.Atlanta led 23-3 before rookie quarterback Nate Sudfeld led Washington on two touchdown drives. The 6-foot-6 Sudfeld completed 10 of 15 passes for 89 yards, including a 6-yard scoring pass to tight end Marcel Jensen.ROOKIE WATCHRedskins: RB Keith Marshall, a seventh-round pick from Georgia, had two catches for 10 yards, but lost 2 yards on three carries.It was a great experience, Marshall said. Ive been dreaming about it since I was a little kid. ... I feel like Ive had a great camp so far.Undrafted rookie RB Robert Kelley from Tulane possibly gained ground in the competition for a backup spot. He had seven carries for 40 yards, including a 1-yard scoring run in the third quarter.Falcons: McKissic could use special teams to help him earn a roster spot at receiver. He had a 14-yard punt return in the fourth quarter after his big kickoff return. ... LBs Deion Jones and DeVondre Campbell had a deflection and big stop, respectively, on the same second-quarter possession. ... RB Brandon Wilds had nine carries for 25 yards, including a 1-yard scoring run.INJURY UPDATERedskins: Among players held out were TE Jordan Reed (thumb), WR Jamison Crowder (hamstring), WR Reggie Diggs (knee), and LT Trent Williams (sore knee).Falcons: S Kemal Ishmael left with a shoulder injury, but is expected to be back for Sundays practice. ... Rookie S Keanu Neal (trunk), TE Levine Toilolo (hand) and RB Terron Ward (ankle) were held out, but are expected to participate in some fashion in Sundays practice, according to coach Dan Quinn.POSITION BATTLESRedskins: It was difficult to learn much about the depth chart at running back. Matt Jones, Chris Thompson and Marshall combined for no yards on eight carries. Jones had only two carries, and his status as the starter is firm.Falcons: There was evidence of why coach Dan Quinn lists wide receiver as one of the teams deepest positions. With Julio Jones having no catches on his only series on the field, there were 15 completions to 10 players. Robinson was the standout with three catches for 118 yards. Mohamed Sanu had two catches for 18 yards. Eric Weems had a 48-yard catch. Justin Hardy and rookie Devin Fuller had 17-yard receptions.NO ROOM FOR RYANThe Falcons opened their first possession at their 1. Ryan was low on one pass attempt to Jones and high on another on the three-and-out possession.Weve got to do a better job of being able to punch that out and change the field position, Ryan said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Salvador Perez Jersey .

Dawn of the third day in Los Angeles would see the first teams pack their bags at The Summit 6, as two elimination matches put three qualifiers and an International runner-up on their last legs. Meanwhile, the European squads of Virtus.pro and OG met in the upper bracket finals to determine who would secure the first spot in the grand finals.In the first series, EHOME and Team NP played to stay alive in the lower bracket after tough losses on Day 1. The North American NP started out strong, with the team finding early kills on Zhang LaNm Zhichengs Undying. Though EHOMEs cores farmed hard to keep up with NP, the kills never went the right way for the Chinese qualifier squad. Team NP closed the game out in 29 minutes at a 22-3 kill differential.EHOME, on its potential last match of The Summit 6, went to tried-and-true picks like Wang old chicken Zhiyongs Juggernaut and Ren eLeVeN Yangweis Sand King. Though some early deaths on NPs supports kept EHOME at an even pace, Rens Sand King died too frequently and so EHOME struggled to take fights in the mid-game. The net worth graph spiked in NPs directions after a few teamfight victories, and it never swung back. Team NP eliminated EHOME from The Summit 2-0, and continue on to face EG.Digital Chaos, the runner-up from Augusts The International 6, found itself in the lower bracket against Team Faceless, an intimidating lineup to say the least. DC looked confident, though, last-picking a Meepo for Aliwi w33 Omar that paid off in spades. In a 19-minute slaughter, DC set record pace, with Omar farming faster than Anucha Jabz Jirawongs Alchemist and consistently finding kills. DC quickly took the series lead 1-0 and put Faceless on tournament point.The Southeast Asian squad fought back in Game 2, taking the game late and holding back Roman Resolut1on Fominoks Ursa. HHolding a net worth advantage for most of the game, DC tried to hold the high ground against the never-ending onslaught of Faceless, but a crucial series of deaths at 45 minutes in spelled the end and set up Game 3.dddddddddddd On elimination point, both teams decided on comfort picks; Omar on his Invoker, Dominik Black^ Reitmeier on Anti-Mage. It was David MoonMeander Tan, with a number of clutch Chronospheres on Faceless Void, who secured the mid-game for Digital Chaos and kept the team alive in the tournament, winning the series 2-1.In the winners bracket finals, the two European teams clashed to see which team would earn the first spot in the grand finals. OG opened Game 1 strong, with the combination of Gustav s4 Magnussons Batrider and Jesse JerAx Vainikkas Pudge, creating huge problems for VPs lineup. At 11 minutes in and a 15-3 kill differential in favor of OG, VP forfeited and got ready for the next match.Game 2 was another quick contest, this time in favor of Virtus.pro. Magnusson struggled in the offlane against Roman RAMZES666 Kushnarevs Bloodseeker, and a last-pick Chen for Ilya Lil Ilyuk took OG by surprise, as their draft was unable to contest the march of jungle creeps. VP secured the win in 24 minutes and took the series to Game 3.On match point, a four-role Weaver pick for Ilyuk earned VP an early lead against OG, but the combo of Magnussons Bat and Vainikkas Earth Spirit turned a few fights to OGs advantage. The cores of OG struggled to keep pace with Kushnarevs Drow though, and an Aghanims Scepter pickup for Ilyuks Weaver made it nearly impossible for OG to find kills or Lassos. Virtus.pro closed the series out 2-1, and secured a spot in the grand finals. ' ' '
