| (MySportsbook) - A hint of quarterback drama will be in the air on both sides of Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, when the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Atlanta Falcons in a battle of two of the NFC's top teams thus far in 2010. For the homestanding Eagles, the man behind center is currently a mystery. Starter and ex-Falcon Michael Vick missed last week's 27-24 win at the San Francisco 49ers with rib injuries, but told reporters on Wednesday that it was still possible that he could play against his |

| aid on Thursday. ``To be honest, I don't look at my stats during the season. I'll wait to the end and then see how I did.'' McCoy, who played with a broken rib in last week's win over the San Francisco 49ers and will do the same Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at home, is off to a great start ... whether he knows it or not. After five games, McCoy has carried 68 times for 365 yards, an average of 5.4 yards per carry, also fifth best in the league. He has five touchdowns, one more than he had all of last |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick continued to sit out practice Thursday as the club prepares for the Atlanta Falcons. Vick missed last Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers after sustaining cartilage damage in his ribs during a Week 4 loss to the Washington Redskins. He was only able to throw a football on a limited basis. If Vick can't go against his former team on Sunday, Kevin Kolb will make his second consecutive start. Kolb completed 21-of-31 passes for 253 yar |

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Thomas DeCoud and William Moore are performing just as the Atlanta Falcons originally hoped. Both are young starting safeties. Both were high draft picks. Both are playing at a high level. ``We've been real solid,'' DeCoud said Thursday. ``We're getting the ball back (creating turnovers) and making solid tackles on the back end. If we keep doing what we're doing, the sky's the limit for us.'' Perhaps, but it won't be without a few laughs along the way. Moore, whom coach Mi |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Perhaps you saw Kroy Biermann's highlight- reel return of an interception for a touchdown for the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday. Or Marc Mariani's pivotal kickoff return late in the Tennessee Titans' win over the Dallas Cowboys. Former players from the Football Championship Subdivision - like Biermann and Mariani from the University of Montana - face long odds to make an NFL team, let alone have game-changing impact. But their careers don't have to end after college. The |

The Saints also signed safety Matt Giordano, who was let go by the Atlanta Falcons. He has spent six seasons in the league with Indianapolis and Green Bay and made 82 tackles and three interceptions in 60 games. New Orleans waived running back DeShawn Wynn, re-signed cornerback Reggie Jones to the practice squad and released lineb |

After getting what seems to be a well-timed bye this coming week, the Bengals will visit the Georgia Dome for an Oct. 24 clash with the 4-1 Atlanta Falcons. Home dates with Miami and division-rival Pittsburgh follow before a Week 10 showdown with Peyton Manning and the defending AFC South titleholders, the Indianapolis Colts. Those four upcoming opponents are a combined 12-6 at the moment. "As I look a |

CLEVELAND (AP) - As he struggled to get around on one good leg, Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme knew what the Atlanta Falcons were thinking. Easy meat. ``With me hobbling out there a little bit,'' Delhomme said, ``that's blood in the water for a lot of those guys, let's be honest.'' Led by pass rusher John Abraham, Atlanta's defense was relentless and merciless and got a spectacular touchdown from end Kroy Biermann on Sunday in a 20-10 win over the Browns, whose troubles included injuries to both qua |
