FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Julio Jones is still Atlantas go-to receiver.No doubt about that.But Jones has been getting plenty of help in the Falcons passing game.Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel and Justin Hardy have bulked up a receiving group that, beyond Jones, was a big question mark at the start of the season.Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are frequent targets. Tight ends Jacob Tamme, Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo have chipped in as well.The fact that we get everybody involved is a very important part of our offense, coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday. Were at our best when we keep attacking and different guys get the ball.This past Sunday may have been the best example yet.Sanu caught five passes on a game-winning drive against the Green Bay Packers, including an 11-yard touchdown with 31 seconds remaining. Three others players also had receptions on the 75-yard possession. Jones was not among them, though he did draw double-coverage that left Sanu matched up with a linebacker on the scoring play.I have all the belief in the world that those guys are going to make those plays, Jones said. Weve got a lot of ballers in our room.The Falcons (5-3) have done a good job turning to other players when Jones is drawing double- and even triple-coverage. When hes left in man-to-man, quarterback Matt Ryan is quick to take advantage.That is the conundrum facing the Buccaneers (3-4) when the NFC South rivals meet Thursday night in Tampa Bay.Theyre throwing it around the yard, said Mike Smith, Tampa Bays defensive coordinator and former head coach of the Falcons. Youve got to try to pick your poison when you play a team that has got the weapons that they have.Jones leads Atlanta with 43 receptions for 859 yards and four touchdowns, but hes far off his pace from a year ago when he led the NFL with 136 catches for 1,871 yards.Seven other players have double-figure receptions, including Sanu (32 catches, 342 yards, three TDs), Freeman (26, 192, 2) and Tamme (22, 210, 3). In all, 10 players have at least one touchdown reception.Tamme went down with a shoulder injury on the opening possession against the Packers, but Hooper, a third-round pick out of Stanford, stepped in to make five receptions for 41 yards. Coleman didnt play at all last Sunday because of a hamstring problem, but Terron Ward filled his versatile role.Its pretty cool to have a number of guys step up, Hooper said. Defenses cant key on one person. Any given rep, anybody could get the ball.Midway through the season, Sanu is just one catch off his total for all of last season with the Cincinnati Bengals. Hes on pace to eclipse the career-best 56 receptions he had in 2014.Weve got the greatest receiver in the NFL, but weve got other great guys in that room, too, Sanu said.Jones said he doesnt mind sharing the ................, especially when defenses are overloading their coverages to stop him.In four games, hes been held to a total of 10 catches for 140 yards. In the other four games, he piled up 33 receptions for 719 yards -- including a 300-yard performance against Carolina, which paid a huge price by sticking with single coverage most of the way.Ryan and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan have done a splendid job taking advantage of what the defenses are giving.I feel like we feed off each other, Gabriel said. If its not Julios day, it can be Sanus day. If its not Sanus day, it can be my day.Game notes Jones (right knee) was limited in practice for the second day in a row after going out briefly in Sundays game. It seemed to be merely a precautionary step given the short week. Im good, Jones said. Theres no need to even talk about it. Nothing is going to hold me back. ... Held out of practice were Tamme, Coleman and DE Dwight Freeney (quadriceps). Quinn said its too soon to determine if Coleman will be able to play against the Bucs. Hes making progress, the coach said. His strength is back, but weve got to find out if he can explode on it.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Murray beat Sam Querrey 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3 to clinch Britains opening-round victory against the United States on Sunday at Petco Park. "Im proud of the way Im playing just now, because I had to do a lot of work to get back to where I want to be," Murray said after celebrating with his teammates on the red clay court in a temporary stadium in left field of the downtown home of baseballs San Diego Padres. CINCINNATI -- Michael Lorenzen could barely make it to the plate after recording the third out of his first inning following the death of his father.Once he got there, he made it count. The Cincinnati reliever hit a three-run homer to cap the Reds 9-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.Even after the third out of my first inning, I needed to go back into the bathroom because I broke down, said Lorenzen, activated from the bereavement list before the game. There were some teammates who helped me out, and I was able to go out and hit.Joey Votto also hit a three-run homer as the Reds snapped a nine-game losing streak against the Dodgers.Tim Adleman pitched into and out of trouble in his first start since May 19 and added his first career hit and runs batted in as the Reds matched their season high with a fourth consecutive win and first against the Dodgers since Aug 13, 2015.Los Angeles hit four balls to the outfield wall, but three were caught for outs in Adlemans five scoreless innings. Adleman (2-1), who was sidelined with a strained left oblique, allowed five hits with two walks and three strikeouts. He also hit Joc Pederson twice with pitches.The Dodgers were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position against Adleman, leaving runners on third four times.Getting out of those situations had a lot to do with the defense, Adleman said..Bud Norris (6-10) gave up six runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings in his first start since July 31 due to a back strain. He struck out three and walked four while lasting fewer than five innings for the 10th time in 17 starts this season.The Reds wasted no time pouncing on Norris, who had trouble with the pitching mound while warming up for the first inning and needed some maintenance. The first five batters reached base, four with hits, including Vottos blast over the center field wall for his 20th home run of the season.A big piece of clay came out, Norris said about the mound issue. They came out and fixed it. It was always there, but its not really an excuse. It didnt go my way.The Reds sent nine batters to the plate while knocking Norris out in their three-run fourth. He walked Tucker Barnhart intentionally to get to Adleman with two outs and Eugenio Suarez on second. The pitcher croossed him up with a two-run double up the right-center field gap.ddddddddddddLorenzen hit his first career home run in the seventh. He had to be prodded by his teammates as the crowd of 28,184 pleaded for a curtain call.The Lorenzen home run was emotional for all of us, manager Bryan Price said. If you stay in this game long enough, you still think you wont see anything like that. It was so improbable. It was majestic and poetic The emotions were palpable and got stronger when he got to the dugout. The curtain call showed there was some awareness in the crowd.MYSTERY GUESTLHP Julio Urias will start for the Dodgers in Sundays third game of the series. Urias is 3-2 with a 4.41 ERA in 12 overall appearances, including 10 starts, the last on Aug. 8 against Philadelphia in Los Angeles. Sundays starter previously had been listed as to be announced.RAREIFIED AIRVottos homer gives him seven 20-homer seasons with the Reds, tying him with Adam Dunn and George Foster for fifth on the Reds list of players with seasons of 20 or more home runs. His four RBI give him 700 in his career.HARD KNOCKSThe fans in the left field corner gave LF Tony Renda a standing ovation after he slammed into the wall on consecutive fly balls in the second inning. The ball was knocked loose for a double the first time, but he hung on to the second drive, earning the applause.TRAINING ROOMDodgers: LHP Rich Hill, on the disabled list since July 18 with a left middle finger blister, threw 75 pitches in a simulated game on Thursday at the Dodgers spring training facility. Roberts said Hill most likely will be activated next week.Reds: OF Adam Duvall missed his fourth consecutive start on Friday after fouling a ball off of his left instep on Monday.
