TAMPA, Fla. -- No one has led more late game-winning drives during the past five seasons than Matt Ryan, and the Atlanta Falcons quarterback did it again with his fifth one this season. Matty Ice threw for 353 yards and overcame two critical turnovers to stop Tampa Bays four-game winning streak with a 24-23 victory on Sunday. The Falcons (10-1) are tied with the Houston Texans for the NFLs best record, and Ryan had plenty of help in withstanding a challenge from the up-and-coming Buccaneers (6-5). "They are playing with a lot of confidence," said Ryan, who has won seven of his past eight starts against the Bucs. "Its always been a tough place for us to come play. They play with great effort, and I think they have a good football team." Ryan teamed with Julio Jones on an 80-yard TD midway through the third quarter, but the Falcons found themselves trailing 23-17 after the Bucs marched for a touchdown, then used a sack-fumble to set up a field goal that left Atlanta needing another strong finish from their quarterback. Ryan obliged by a leading a six-play, 64-yard march that Michael Turner finished with a 3-yard TD run that put the NFC South leaders ahead for good with 7:55 remaining. Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay (6-5) in the closing minutes, and the winning streak thats helped the Bucs climb back into playoff contention following a slow start ended when Josh Freemans desperation pass fell incomplete in the end zone on the final play. "The last drive, thats something weve done before this season," Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez said. "I really think thats a positive for us to be able to come up with plays like that when we have to like that. ... Im really happy with the way we responded." Its getting to be a way of life. Ryan has also led late marches to beat Carolina, Washington, Oakland and Arizona this season and has put together 21 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime since entering the league in 2008 -- four of them against the division rival Bucs. The Falcons wont have long to celebrate this one. The host the New Orleans Saints Thursday night in a rematch of the only game theyve lost. "Ten-and-1 is great, but Ill tell you what Ive said since the beginning of the season: Were just jockeying for position," Gonzalez said. "We just want to put ourselves in the best position, playing the best football. Right around this time is when you want to start gelling as a team and take it on into the playoffs because thats the most important thing." The win stopped the Bucs, whove won five or seven following a 1-3 start, from tightening the NFC South standings. Turner also scored a fourth-quarter TD that helped the Falcons overcome six turnovers to beat Arizona 23-19 last week. Doug Martin scored on a pair of 1-yard run for the Bucs, however the rookie who began the day leading the NFL in total yards from scrimmage was limited to 50 yards rushing on 21 carries. Barth kicked field goals of 22, 42, and 48 yards, the latter giving the Bucs their six-point lead after cornerback E.J. Biggers sacked Ryan to force a fumble. Ryan threw a second-quarter interception -- his sixth pick in two weeks -- that led Barths field goal that made it 10-10 at the half. Ryan completed 26 of 32 passes, including four straight on the drive that Turner finished with his TD run. Jacquizz Rodgers had a 5-yard TD run in the first quarter, and Jones finished with six receptions for 147 yards despite playing on a sore right ankle that limited him in practice. Ryan started the game with 10 straight completions before Ronde Barbers interception and 28-yard return to the Atlanta 31 led to Barths first field goal. The Falcons drove to the Tampa Bay 4 in the closing seconds of the half, but wasted an opportunity to regain the lead when Matt Bryant hooked a 22-yard field-goal attempt wide left as time expired. The Atlanta kicker missed a 48-yarder with 8 seconds left, giving the Bucs one more chance to pull out what would have been their first signature victory under first-year coach Greg Schiano. "It was a hard-fought game by both teams, a very physical game," Schiano said. "But I do think missed opportunities were a big part of it. There were some chances both offensively and defensively, and in the kicking game." Freeman finished 19 of 30 for 256 yards, and Vincent Jackson had five catches for 96 yards. A big factor in the loss, though, was Atlantas held the Bucs to field goals after each of Ryans turnovers, once after Tampa Bay had 1st-and-goal at the Atlanta 3. "I thought our defence did an outstanding job again. They were put in some tough situations after turnovers," Falcons coach Mike Smith said, adding that slowing Martin was one of the keys to the game as well. "We knew it was going to be one of our musts, and I thought we did a nice job," Smith added. "I thought we played the run extremely well, controlled the line of scrimmage. That is an outstanding running back." NOTES: Falcons starting cornerbacks Asante Samuel (shoulder) and Dunta Robinson (head) left the game with injuries in the third quarter. ... Barber, who made his 210th straight start to tie Jim Otto for the seventh-most consecutive starts in NFL history, has 47 career interceptions. ... Martin has 1,050 yards rushing yards, eighth-most in a season by a Tampa Bay running back. ...Gonzalez had five receptions for 62 yards, and Roddy White had six for 57 yards for Atlanta. wholesale jerseys from china .

He was hired Wednesday to replace Dave Hansen and improve an offence that struggled last season when All-Star slugger Matt Kemp was hobbled by injuries. The Dodgers were 13th in the National League in runs scored and RBIs and 15th in home runs. "Its the first time in my baseball career I have an opportunity to live at home and work at home," McGwire said on a teleconference. "To do what I love, still be in the game of baseball and to be at home, it just fit perfectly." McGwire spent the past three seasons in the same job with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he starred during parts of his 16-year major league career. During McGwires tenure, the Cardinals led the National League in batting average (.269) and on-base percentage (.337), ranked second in runs (2,263) and fourth in slugging percentage (.416). He worked with All-Star sluggers Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday and Albert Pujols, while helping develop 2011World Series MVP David Freese. But as much as he enjoyed the job and the teams success, McGwire said last season "was probably one of the hardest on me family-wise." His two sons, ages 9 and 10, have started playing Little League, and he and his wife, Stephanie, have 2-year-old triplet daughters. McGwire also has a 25-year-old son from a previous marriage. The couple lives in Orange County. "Being away from the girls, it took a little bit for them to realize Daddy was back a couple weeks ago," he said, adding that he wasnt certain he would have returned to St. Louis if the Dodgers hadnt pursued him. Once they did, he turned down the Cardinals contract extension and started phoning the teams players and staff to say goodbye. "It was very, very hard to call everybody," he said. McGwire is from the Los Angeles suburb of Pomona. He played college baseball at Southern California and was a member of Oaklands 1989 World Series champion team.dddddddddddd. "I grew up a Dodger fan," he said. McGwire is a 12-time All-Star who in winter 2010 ended years of denials and a self-imposed exile from the sport by admitting he took performance-enhancing drugs during his career, including when he broke Roger Maris record of 61 home runs with 70 long balls in 1998. He retired in 2001 with 583 career homers, ranking 10th on the all-time list. "Its a mistake that Ive made, Ive owned up to it, Ive moved on," he said. "Thats something I have to live with the rest of my life." There was little public outcry when McGwire returned to the Cardinals as hitting coach, and Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said he can live with McGwires past. "Hes owned up to making a mistake, but theres so many other great qualities about him that you forgive the mistake," he said. "That he apologized is very important." McGwire will be working with an accomplished group of hitters on the Dodgers, including All-Stars Kemp, Andre Ethier, Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez. "I absolutely love the job of being a hitting coach," he said. "I love teaching and being around the game of baseball." Colletti said he sought McGwire partly after seeing how well-prepared the Cardinals hitters were, including their ability to make in-game adjustments. "We kept thinking about guys that had had success both with veteran players and also young players. We kept coming back to Mark," he said. "We benefited from Marks love of his young family and where he resides. Were very privileged and thrilled to have a person of this quality be our hitting coach." Colletti said the Dodgers would hire an assistant hitting coach later this week. McGwire said he has no immediate managerial aspirations. "But I would never rule it out," he said. "Right now Im having way too much fun working with the hitters." ' ' '
