鈥?There’s only one team the Atlanta Falcons need to be concerned about the rest of the way.Their own.The defending NFC champions trail division rivals New Orleans and Carolina by one game with two weeks remaining in the regular season. But if the Falcons (9-5) beat the Saints (10-4) and Panthers (10-4) Brian Dawkins Jersey , they win the NFC South again . One victory in the final two games guarantees Atlanta a playoff berth.“We’re right where we need to be at this point of the season,” quarterback Matt Ryan said after Monday night’s 24-21 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . “We’ve got to find a way to get back to work this week, try to improve and make sure we play the best we’re capable of playing this Sunday.”“That’s really all our focus needs to be about,” he added. “If we’re worried about anything else then you’re not as locked in as you need to be.”Devonta Freeman had 194 yards from scrimmage 鈥?rushing for 126 on 22 carries and catching five passes for a team-high 68 yards 鈥?to pace Atlanta’s fifth victory in six games, which eliminated Green Bay from playoff contention.Ryan threw for 212 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.“Can’t think too far into the future. Always focus on what we’ve got next,” Falcons safety Keanu Neal said. “Look too far ahead, you lose sight of the present.”Freeman’s 32-yard TD run gave Atlanta a 10-point lead that the defense nearly let slip away over the final eight minutes.The 5-foot-6, 206-pound running back kept pounding away at the Bucs defense until finally finding his way into the open field, darting through a gaping hole on the right side before cutting back to elude the only defender with a shot at tackling him on his way to the end zone.“We had a sense this would be a big night for him. We talked about that before the game,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “We thought he would have his opportunities. If he could get to the next level and to a linebacker or safety or corner, make sure he had a plan how he wanted to finish.”With Freeman’s sidekick, Tevin Coleman, out with a concussion Braden Smith Jersey , third-string running back Terron Ward shared the rushing load with the two-time 1,000-yard rusher.“I saw him hit the sideline. And, Free one-on-one with anyone in the open field, I’m taking Free,” Ward said.Some things to know about Falcons-Buccaneers:JAMEIS SHINESJameis Winston had his sharpest performance of the season for the Bucs (4-10), who have lost nine of 11 following a 2-1 start.The third-year pro completed 27 of 35 passes for 299 yards and three TDs with no turnovers. He had TD passes of 30 yards to O.J. Howard, 42 yards to Mike Evans and 16 yards to Adam Humphries, the latter pulling Tampa Bay to 24-21 with four minutes remaining.The Bucs got the ball back with a minute left. Winston completed three passes, moving them into position to allow Patrick Murray to try a 54-yard field goal that sailed wide right on the final play.“I think this is Jameis Winston at his best,” coach Dirk Koetter said. “We’ve seen him at his best for parts of several games, but this was probably his best and most complete game.”CONTAINING JULIOFalcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a monster game against the Bucs three weeks ago with 12 receptions for 253 yards and two TDs in a 34-20 win at Atlanta. Tampa Bay knew it needed to do a better job against him to have any chance this time.Ryan targeted the star receiver eight times Monday night, but Jones only had three catches for 54 yards.The Falcons offset the drop in production, finishing with 201 yards rushing.RING OF HONORFormer Bucs coach Jon Gruden, who has spent the past nine seasons as ESPN’s game analyst on Monday Night Football Ryan Griffin Jersey , was inducted into the Ring of Honor at Raymond James Stadium during a halftime ceremony.Gruden was acquired from the Oakland Raiders for two first-round draft picks, two second-round draft picks and $8 million before leading the 2002 Bucs to the club’s only Super Bowl championship in his first season in Tampa Bay.Gruden was fired after the 2008 season and moved into the broadcast booth the following year. The Bucs haven’t made the playoffs since 2007 and don’t have a postseason win since their Super Bowl run 15 years ago.
His numbers are ordinary. His name is not.

And his potential, that’s still to be proven.

A player who averaged 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his lone season of college basketball, primarily as a backup for a team that didn’t finish with a winning record, wouldn’t ordinarily seem like much of an NBA draft prospect. But in this case, the player in question is Kostas Antetokounmpo – who believes that he is ready to follow his All-Star brother Giannis into the league.

On Thursday night, he’ll find out which NBA club agrees.

”I feel like when you do a sport, when you do something, you want to be the best at it,” Kostas Antetokounmpo said. ”Since I was little I wanted to be an NBA player. So it’s about time.”

Maybe so, but unlike his brother – the Milwaukee star who might be an MVP candidate for years to come – Kostas Antetokounmpo’s game is nowhere near the elite level.

”He can be really good,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said. ”He has a lot of things to work on. But I think he can be really good if he gets with the right team and tries to get better every day.”

The 20-year-old Kostas Antetokounmpo struggled to remain a big part of the rotation at Dayton in his one college season, starting six games early in the year but also playing less than 10 minutes in six others. He had a big game off the bench late in the season to help the Flyers beat Saint Louis, and after that game Dayton coach Anthony Grant pointed to that as the sign of what Antetokounmpo can do.

”That’s what he’s capable of Anthony Brown Jersey ,” Grant said, ”when he puts his mind to it.”

The good news for Kostas Antetokounmpo is this: He knows he’s nowhere near a finished product.

He’s 6-foot-10 with long arms, his standing reach extending just 10 inches shy of the rim. But he’s only 195 pounds, needs to work on his strength and missed basically half of his free-throw tries last season.

”I know that I’ve got to let my body get stronger,” he said. ”I’ve got to get my weight up. I’ve got to work on the way I read the game, and my moves.”

If he makes the NBA, Kostas would be the third Antetokounmpo brother to reach the league. Besides Giannis, there was Thanasis – who appeared in two games for the New York Knicks in 2016. And there’s a fourth one on the way, that being 16-year-old Alex, someone who Giannis and Kostas both predict might be the best in the family.

So soon, Alex will likely deal with what Kostas is dealing with now – inevitable comparisons to the more-famous brother.

Kostas and Giannis are built similarly, with their long, lean frames and almost neverending reach. They sound alike in some ways, but both insist that they do not play the game the same way. It used to be difficult for Kostas to carry the label of `the next Antetokounmpo Russell Bodine Jersey ,’ he said, though over time he thinks he’s been judged more on the merits of his own game.

”Every good player coming up, they’re compared to somebody,” Kostas Antetokounmpo said. ”So I’m used to that. It makes me work harder. If they compare me to a top-10 player in the NBA, I don’t have a problem with that.”

Kostas Antetokounmpo said he expects to immediately contribute at the NBA level, based on the way he can run the floor and his penchant for being able to defend – especially around the rim. He said he tries to emulate not his brother so much, but more along the lines of Kevin Garnett largely because of the way he defended.

He has no idea yet where he’s going to get picked, and some mock drafts have him sliding to the second round.

He insists that won’t matter.

”I feel like I can be an NBA player,” he said. ”I think a lot of teams see me and they see a kid that works hard, a kid that can become a NBA player. First round, second round, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m going to do what I can do and try to get better.”
