Falcons win offensive showcase

Tevin Coleman ran for three touchdowns, Matt Ryan passed for two more and Deion Jones returned an interception 90 yards for a score to fuel the visiting Atlanta Falcons to a 45- 32 victory Monday against the New Orleans Saints.

The teams combined for 916 yards of offense, but the Falcons ( 2- 1) had better balance. Devonta Freeman ran 14 times for 152 yards and caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Coleman ran for touchdowns of two, two and six yards and caught three passes for 47 yards. And Ryan was an efficient 20- for- 30 for 240 yards without an interception.

Drew Brees was 36- for- 54 for 376 yards and three touchdowns for the Saints ( 0- 3), but Jones’ interception return early in the fourth quarter gave the Falcons a 45- 25 lead that proved too much to overcome.

QB Wilson may sit against Jets

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, and coach Pete Carroll raised the possibility of Wilson missing the team’s Week 4 game against the New York Jets.

Carroll acknowledged there is a thought of holding Wilson out Sunday against the Jets with the Seahawks’ bye coming in Week 5.

This and that
