DENVER -- Apparently itll take more than the Atlanta Falcons groundbreaking aerial performance against Carolina to impress the Denver Broncos No Fly Zone secondary.Matt Ryan and Julio Jones bring the leagues No. 1 offense to Denver for a showdown Sunday between the Falcons (3-1) and the unbeaten Broncos (4-0).A week ago, Ryan and Jones became the first duo in NFL history to post a 500-yard passing and 300-yard receiving performance in the same game.Ryan threw for a career-high 503 yards and four touchdowns against Carolina.Meh.Not as impressive as it sounds, Broncos safety T.J. Ward said. There were a lot of broken coverages and guys left wide open. They still did a good job fighting them, but it wasnt the game that I thought it was after watching it.Surely they were impressed by Jones becoming just the sixth receiver in NFL history to post a 300-yard game.Whatever.Just going against a young secondary, Broncos safety Darian Stewart said. They have big-play players and so we just have to go out there and play our technique and just play our game. They didnt do anything different, its just other guys were (using) bad technique and allowing the big plays.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak wont disparage the Falcons, noting Ryan is thriving in his second year of Kyle Shanahans scheme. He leads the league with 1,473 passing yards and a QB rating of 126.3.Those numbers are real, I know that, Kubiak said.So are these figures from the past three weeks against Denvers defense:-Andrew Luck came in off a 385-yard passing performance and was held to 197 yards.-Andy Dalton was coming off consecutive 366-yard showings and was limited to 206 yards.-And Jameis Winston was fresh off a 405-yard game when he managed just 179 yards.In the week before facing Denver, those three QBs combined for 1,156 yards, eight TDs, one interception and five sacks. Against Denver, they managed 584 yards and one TD with four interceptions and 14 sacks.Weve played a lot of good offenses, Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said. But this one might be the best.Bring it on, said Ward.We lick our chops every week. This is another opportunity to go out there and prove ourselves and put another performance on film, Ward said. It doesnt matter who we get week-to-week. We want to do our best so it doesnt matter whos coming in here.The Falcons first trip to Denver since 2014 is dripping with other subplots:QB CONUNDRUM: Emmanuel Sanders doesnt care if its Trevor Siemian or rookie Paxton Lynch throwing passes his way Sunday. Lynch had an impressive NFL debut in relief last week after Siemian bruised his left (non-throwing) shoulder on a sack at Tampa.You dont want to put too much emphasis on the quarterback position, said Sanders, pointing out all the young QBs with early season successes. Its about team and its about chemistry. Thats what its about.MUSICAL ARMS: Denver has won six straight regular-season games with four different QBs: Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler, Siemian and Lynch. The previous team to do that was the 1986 Bears (Doug Flutie, Steve Fuller, Jim McMahon and Mike Tomczak).A great defense always helps, running back C.J. Anderson said, and then the 10 guys on offense doing their job to make the quarterbacks job easier. People say its a quarterback-driven league, and all our quarterbacks have played well with their opportunity. If we continue to do our job the way we know we can do it, it makes their job that much easier.LINEBACKER LIMBO: The Falcons have a long list of injuries at linebacker. Sean Weatherspoon went on IR with an Achilles injury from Atlantas 48-33 win over the Panthers and rookie Deion Jones left the game with a calf injury. Weatherspoon started against Carolina with rookie DeVondre Campbell (ankle) out along with Paul Worrilow (groin). LaRoy Reynolds, Phillip Wheeler and recently added A.J. Hawk could be called upon Sunday.MILLERS PROPS: Von Miller says two Falcons were instrumental in his career: 36-year-old defensive end Dwight Freeney and defensive coordinator Richard Smith, his former position coach in Denver. Miller called Smith really a catalyst in getting me going. ... Some of the stuff that he taught me I still use to this day.He also uses the wicked spin move Freeney taught him one offseason.That was something I really wanted to do, something I really wanted in my arsenal, said Miller, the NFLs sack leader with 5+.COLEMAN STATUS: Falcons coach Dan Quinn said backup RB Tevin Colemans breakaway speed will be on display Sunday. There was some question over whether Coleman would sit this one out because he was born with sickle cell trait that could negatively affect him in Denvers mile-high altitude.Hes in great shape and cant wait to play, Quinn said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Charles Odum contributed.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- City and county officials approved opening negotiations with an investment group on a possible $1.3 billion stadium project that supporters hope will sway the Oakland Raiders to stay.The approvals Tuesday give an investment team anchored by Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott and former quarterback Rodney Peete the right to negotiate a formal agreement for a $1.3 billion stadium that includes $350 million in public money.The Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted earlier Tuesday, with the Oakland City Council voting later in the night.Seven city council members voted to enter negotiations with Lott. One council member abstained. Earlier in the day, three of five county supervisors voted yes after more than three hours of discussion and testimony in a room sparkling with sports celebrities.Lott said after the county vote that the work is just beginning.We still have a long ways to go. We still have to convince the NFL. We still have to convince (Raiders owner) Mark Davis. Weve got a long ways to go but today is a great day and a great moment for Raider Nation, he said.Earlier this year, Mark Davis said he was committed to moving the Raiders to Las Vegas, where a $1.9 billion stadium project has been approved. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf vowed to continue working on a counter-proposal for the Raiders to stay at the Oakland Coliseum.A move to Nevada is not certain, although a vote by the NFL on whether to allow the move is possible as soon as January. Nevada will raise $750 million from a hotel tax to fund the stadium with billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson contributing $650 million and the Raiders and NFL kicking in $500 million.The Raiders must get approval from 24 of the 32 NFL owners to move. NFL owners will receive an update on the stadium situation when they meet in the Dallas area Wednesday.The Raiders also have the option of moving to the Los Angeles area, where they can share a facility with the recently relocated Rams.A spokesman for the Raiders did not return requests for comment.Former Los Angeles Raiders great Marcus Allen made an emotional pitch to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and later to the Oakland City Council, saying that losing the team would be devastating for Oakland.ddddddddddddt would be an emptiness that I dont think the city could recover from, he said.Other speakers urged caution even as they pledged support. They said officials should negotiate jobs and affordable housing for residents in east Oakland where the Coliseum is located, given the soaring cost of housing throughout the city.A sticking point was that Alameda County and Oakland still need to retire nearly $100 million in debt incurred for remodeling the current stadium to woo the team back from Los Angeles in 1995.The parties have identified $1.25 billion in potential financing for a project that may cost upward of $1.3 billion for a 55,000-seat stadium that could include mixed-use retail in the future.Lotts team, which includes the Fortress Investment Group, would contribute $400 million, with the NFL and the Raiders contributing $500 million.The city of Oakland would contribute $200 million for infrastructure such as storm drains and roadway parking. The money would be generated from bonds paid back from revenue created from the stadium and its surrounding commercial development.The city and county would also contribute at least 100 acres of land, valued at $150 million. One of the issues to be determined is whether the land would be sold or leased.Supervisor Keith Carson grilled a representative of Fortress for details on payment and revenue. He voted no.Supervisor Wilma Chan abstained. She said at the hearing that while fans have remained loyal, shes not sure that the Raiders want to stay.Board President Scott Haggerty joined supervisors Richard Valle and Nate Miley in moving forward, despite the many unknowns.What it comes down for me is trust and my mother would trust Ronnie Lott, he said. I trust this man and hes somebody I want to do business with, and I hope hes somebody Mark Davis wants to do business with.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
