Matt Ryan Zach Brown Jersey , Deion Jones returned an interception for an early score, and the Atlanta Falcons snapped a five-game losing streak with a 40-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.The Falcons (5-9) forced three turnovers and sacked Arizona’s Josh Rosen seven times, a single-game season high for both teams. Arizona (3-11) has dropped two straight and five of six under first-year coach Steve Wilks.Julio Jones caught six passes for 82 yards, all in the first half. His 22-yard score in the closing seconds before intermission put the Falcons up 26-7. Jones beat Patrick Peterson‘s bump-and-run coverage down the left sideline, turning the cornerback around and twisting around him to make a diving catch.Ryan ran for a 1-yard score early the second quarter and finished with 231 yards passing. Matt Bryant added two short field goals and Tevin Coleman had a 43-yard TD run in the third quarter as Atlanta won for the first time since Week 9 at Washington.Grady Jarrett had two of the Falcons’ season-high seven sacks, and Arizona’s run defenses allowed 215 yards to the NFL’s worst rushing attack.Playing behind a makeshift offense line that has lost six players to injured reserve Kyler Murray Jersey , Rosen was under duress all afternoon and finished with a 38.4 passer rating.He got the Cardinals off to a fast start with running back David Johnson catching two long passes to set up a short TD run that made it 7-0, but Arizona was essentially done after Deion Jones scored a touchdown for the third time in eight career interceptions. In his fourth game back after spending most of the season sidelined by a foot injury, Jones forced a 7-all tie in the first quarter, snagging Vic Beasley‘s batted ball from the air and running 41 yards for Atlanta’s second defensive TD of the season.The third-year linebacker spent the first part of the game covering Johnson and was in the left flats shading the running back when Beasley tipped Rosen’s pass.QUESTIONS IN THE DESERTIt feels like a couple of months have passed since Arizona enjoyed a season highlight under Wilks, a 20-17 win at Green Bay two weeks ago.The Cardinals were flat last week at home against Detroit and gave themselves almost no chance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Even with so many injuries, the performance was so uninspiring that Wilks might be wondering if he will return for a second season.Arizona showed why it began the day with the league’s worst scoring offense Byron Murphy Jersey , worst passing attack and second-worst ground game.KEY INJURIESCardinals cornerback David Amerson left the game with concussion symptoms and didn’t return after colliding with Falcons receiver Mohamed Sanu in the first.Johnson ran 11 times for 33 yards as he played with a sore quadriceps.UP NEXTCardinals host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. The Seahawks will be able to start the season with linebacker Mychal Kendricks at their disposal. Whether he’ll be able to finish the year with the team will apparently be decided in late-September.According to TMZ, the sentencing hearing for Kendricks stemming from a guilty plea last year for insider trading is set to Sept. 25. That would enable Kendricks to at least play in the first three games of the season before finding out his legal fate. The Seahawks have expected Kendricks to be available to play for them this season. He will be for most of the first month of the year. Beyond that is uncertain.Kendricks could face up to 25 years in jail for the transgression. However, it is thought that the sentence will be far less punitive due to his cooperation with authorities against Damilare Sonoiki, who provided Kendricks with the information. Kendricks was initially scheduled to be sentenced in January. That date got pushed back to April, then postponed indefinitely until the September date was put in place. Kendricks was absent from practice on Monday to attend to “a business thing that he’s working on,” per head coach Pete Carroll.Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider trading charges last September in U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania. Kendricks admitted that he was given inside information about four companies that were about to be purchased by bigger companies Andy Isabella Jersey , and that by buying stock with that information, he turned a profit of $1.2 million.Kendricks appeared in just three games for Seattle after signing with the team following his guilty plea and subsequent release from the Cleveland Browns. An eight-game suspension and fractured tibia separately combined to limit his on-field contributions to the team last year. He re-signed with the team in March on a one-year deal.
