ATLANTA -- When Carolina made its most recent visit to Atlanta, all the talk was about the 14-0 Panthers try for a perfect season.Now that the Panthers are 1-2, theyre hearing more questions about their imperfections as they enter Sundays game against the Falcons.Quarterback Cam Newton says the Panthers werent perfect even before their undefeated regular season was spoiled by the 20-13 loss to the Falcons late in 2015.Its not that we didnt have mistakes happen last year, Newton said.We had a lot of mistakes. The fact we were winning kind of blew it under the rug, so to speak. Now that were 1-2, it just feels like we cant get in a rhythm of winning. A lot of things have been magnified. ... What trumps that is when we just find ways to win football games.Among Carolinas mistakes in last weeks 22-10 loss to Minnesota were allowing eight sacks . Newton said he must improve his pressure recognition.Just getting the ball out of my hands, he said. Thats what it comes down to.Newton wasnt in the mood for too many questions this week about last seasons loss in Atlanta.Not talking about last year, he said. Im sorry, I just cant. ... Im just focused on trying to get to 2-2. ... As far as talking about last year, I could really care less about it.The Panthers have bitter memories of the loss, which Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short grouped with the Super Bowl loss to Denver.Its a sour taste, Short said. That game and the Super Bowl both. Its one of those games where the next time you play them you wanted to come out fired up.The Falcons (2-1) lead the NFC South after Monday nights 45-32 win at New Orleans. Quarterback Matt Ryan said the Falcons havent talked about their previous home game against Carolina.Last year was last year, Ryan said. Its different teams. Weve got a lot of different players and theyve got some different players, too. Im sure theyll be ready to play. Theres no question about that.Here are some things to watch in the Panthers-Falcons game:REBOUND FOR JULIO: After All-Pro receiver Julio Jones shared the NFL lead with 136 catches in 2015, its notable when he had only one reception last week against the Saints. His quiet day came after he was limited all week by a calf injury.Jones was more active in practice this week. He will be looking to move back into his normal prominent role and could be covered by Panthers rookie cornerback James Bradberry. Jones is a tough assignment for any rookie, perhaps especially when coming off a one-catch game.BOUNCE-BACK FOR BENJAMIN: Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was targeted only once by Newton last week against the Vikings and failed to register a catch. That cant happen, Newton said. If I am speaking for it, that wont happen again. Hes too good of a player.FLYING HIGH: A quiet week from Jones didnt stop the Falcons. Ryan already has seven touchdown passes for the Falcons, who boast the NFLs top offense .The tandem of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman has given more balance to the running game. Second-year receiver Justin Hardy has touchdown catches in two straight games, a good sign he could emerge in his second season.If we play our best ball I feel like we can go toe to toe against anybody, Ryan said.STILL NO STEWART: With running back Jonathan Stewart missing his second straight game with a hamstring injury, coach Ron Rivera said he expects that his running back rotation will be similar to last week against the Vikings.Cameron Artis-Payne had 12 carries for 47 yards against Minnesota. Fozzy Whittaker was used more as a change-of-pace back with five carries for 22 yards and five catches for 34 yards. Whittaker had a 56-yard touchdown reception called back because of a penalty.GOOD START: The Falcons already have matched their one division win last season -- the upset of Carolina. The 1-5 division record spoiled the 8-8 season.We know when we play well in the division, good things can happen, coach Dan Quinn said.---AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte, North Carolina, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale NBA Jerseys UK .

HOUSTON -- Restricted free agent Donatas Motiejunas wont report to the Houston Rockets because of a difference of nearly $6 million from the offer sheet he signed with the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.Last week, Motiejunas signed a four-year, $37 million offer sheet with the Nets. The Rockets on Monday opted to match that offer. However, based on the CBA, the Rockets only had to match the principle terms of the offer sheet, which came to $31 million.The $6 million difference was to be paid to Motiejunas via incentive clauses if he played for the Nets.After the Rockets matched the offer sheet, Motiejunas had two days to report for his physical, which his agent B.J. Armstrong?told the team he would not do.Houstons options are to keep their first-refusal exercise notice open and wait for Motiejunas to report. If he doesnt report, Houston can pull the offer Thursday and Motiejunas would become a restricted free agent. If they dont pull the offer, it would expire autommatically March 1.ddddddddddddRockets officials are willing to work a separate deal with Motiejunas, something his agent is willing to talk about, in the $31 million range. One of the problems with the offer sheet for the Rockets is a $9 million guarantee for the 2017-18 season. Based on the offer sheet, a team would have to make a decision on March 1 to enact that clause. Houston, according to a source, would like to push that date to the summer.Motiejunas, who has averaged 7.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per game over his career, has undergone two back surgeries, which has given several teams pause about his long-term health. Motiejunas told ESPN last week he passed a series of tests on his back in New York before signing the offer sheet with the Nets and should pass any physical given.Armstrong is also open to receiving an offer sheet from another team.
