GREEN BAY, Wis. Emily Sonnett Jersey . - A furious second-half rally by Atlanta fell just short at one of the toughest road venues in the NFL.Star receiver Julio Jones spent the last few minutes of the game hobbling on the sideline following a career night.And the Falcons lost out on a chance to claim sole possession of first place in the mediocre NFC South.Leave it to veteran receiver Roddy White to find a bright spot in a 43-37 loss Monday to the Green Bay Packers.We scored 37 points tonight. If you cant believe in that, then you dont need to be in this locker room — we need to cut some people, White said.On the road at Lambeau Field, the Falcons showed fight in a place where most other NFC foes had folded down the stretch. They fell to 5-8 and back into a first-place tie with New Orleans, but found positive signs for the seasons final three weeks.Now if only they hadnt fallen behind 31-7 at halftime, the outlook might have been rosier for Atlanta.Were at the point of the season where its time. Weve got to play the kind of football that were capable of playing for 60 minutes, quarterback Matt Ryan said. Were in the mix, but weve got to win.Jones had a career-best 259 yards receiving before leaving with a hip injury in the fourth quarter. Ryan threw for 375 yards and four scores, including a 1-yard touchdown catch by White with 6:20 left that trimmed Green Bays lead to 40-30.Jones didnt come out for Atlantas failed 2-point conversion attempt.Difficult. Theres probably never a good time for an injury, but thats part of the game, Ryan said.Mason Crosby kicked a 53-yard field goal with 4:37 left, helping the Packers withstand Atlantas final punch.Ryans 2-yard touchdown pass to Harry Douglas with 2:15 left got Atlanta within six, but the Packers recovered the ensuing onside kick. Backup running back James Starks effectively ended the Falcons upset hopes with a 41-yard run to the Atlanta 6 with 1:37 left.Theres been some ups and downs on both sides of the ball all season, Rodgers said. But were really getting this home-field advantage thing going, with the crowd noise, with the footing, with the way were playing, being really balanced on offence.Rodgers, who threw for 322 yards, acknowledged there may have been a slight relaxation at halftime up 24.What matters most in the end to Green Bay (10-3) is that it held on for a victory and stayed a game ahead of Detroit in the NFC North.Defensively, a tale of two halves. You have to give Atlantas offence a lot of credit, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. We have plenty to clean up.Eddie Lacy ran for a touchdown and caught one of Rodgers three TD passes to help Green Bay build its 24-point halftime lead. Lacy had 73 yards on 13 carries, and 33 yards on five catches.The tough running back wiggled from side to side to celebrate his 1-yard touchdown reception with 4:20 left in second quarter. The score was set up by safety Morgan Burnetts interception.Later, Rodgers sidestepped his way out of a late blitz by Kroy Biermann and found Jordy Nelson in the back of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds left. That gave Green Bay its 24-point lead at halftime.Instead of folding, the Falcons fought back.Ryan found Jones for a 79-yard catch-and-run to the Packers 3 on the first play of the third quarter. The quarterback hit Eric Weems over the middle on fourth down for a 5-yard touchdown pass later in the drive.It was a sign of things to come in the second half before Green Bay was able to hang on at the end.NOTES: Lacy was pulled in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. He said he thought he would be OK, though he was sidelined as a precaution. Asked when the injury occurred, Lacy joked, Whenever I ran into the two big dudes. ... McCarthy tied Vince Lombardi with 98 career victories, second on the franchise list behind Curly Lambeau (209). ... S Dwight Lowery had a team-high 13 tackles and a forced fumble for Atlanta.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ;Lindsey Horan Jersey . J.J.

According to TSNs Farhan Lalji, Richardson is heading to Toronto for a physical and is expected to sign with the Argonauts.Carson, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Marcelo Sarvas second-half strike proved to be the difference on Sunday as the Los Angeles Galaxy claimed a 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at the StubHub Center in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship tie. The Galaxy entered the contest rested and riding a nice wave of confidence after dispatching Real Salt Lake, 5-0, on aggregate in the West semifinals, while Seattle reached its second Conference final after knocking off FC Dallas via the away goals rule. It was a tense affair from the opening whistle, but both clubs created numerous scoring chances in the first half, forcing both goalkeepers to make several upstanding saves. The sides went into the break scoreless, but Los Angeles had thhe jump in the second half and grabbed the games only goal in the 52nd minute. Gina Lewandowski Jersey. Sarvas did well to corral a pass from defender A.J. DeLaGarza at the top of the penalty area and have a strike on target. The ball took a deflection off Seattles Chad Marshall and wound up past Stefan Frei in the back of the net to give the hosts the lead. The Galaxy continued to surge forward looking for a second goal and had another great chance in the 65th minute when Stefan Ishizaki lined up a free kick from 20 yards out and blasted it off the crossbar. Seattle was ultimately unable to create an equalizing tally, but the Rave Green will have the opportunity to turn things around in the second leg of the tie at CenturyLink Field on Nov. 30.
