ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons found themselves in another tight game.This time, they came through with the winning play.After two excruciating losses, the Falcons rallied for a 33-32 victory over the Green Bay Packers when Matt Ryan threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu with 31 seconds remaining Sunday.With Julio Jones shut down in the second half, Ryan turned to Sanu to bail out Atlanta (5-3). He caught five passes for 50 yards on the final possession, the last of them a touchdown pass in the back of the end zone after he got matched against linebacker Jake Ryan.The Green Bay player didnt have a chance. Sanu raced past him and hauled in the pass right in front of the goalposts, the ball easily clearing Ryans outstretched hands.Weve got the greatest receiver in the NFL, but weve got other great guys in that room, too, Sanu said. When our number is called upon, we went out there to do what we do.The Falcons were coming off a 26-24 loss at Seattle and a 33-30 overtime setback to San Diego in which they squandered a 17-point lead at home.Given what happened a year ago -- Atlanta started the season 6-1, then lost six in a row and missed the playoffs -- it was imperative to turn things around against the Packers. It didnt look good when Aaron Rodgers threw his fourth touchdown pass, putting the Packers ahead with 3:58 remaining.Its just finishing, Sanu said. We didnt finish the last two weeks and we finished this week.Sanu had nine catches for 84 yards, both season highs in his first year with the Falcons. Atlanta needed every one of them, since Jones was held to three catches for 29 yards and targeted only once in the second half -- a dropped pass on the final possession.But Jones helped Sanu get open on the winning play, drawing two defenders when they lined up on the same side of the field.Ryan was 28 of 35 for 288 yards and three touchdowns.They dont call the guy Matty Ice for no reason, Sanu said. The guy has ice in his veins.Rodgers threw for 246 yards, teaming up with a bunch of unknown receivers as the banged-up Packers played without six starters. Linebacker Clay Matthews and receiver Randall Cobb were among those who couldnt go because of hamstring injuries.Three Green Bay receivers -- Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis and Jeff Janis -- got their first career touchdown. Allison, in fact, had just been promoted from the practice squad and never caught a pass in an NFL game. Ditto for Davis, a rookie who had mainly been used as a returner.Thats our job, to go out and make plays regardless of whos in there, Allison said.The Packers took a 32-26 lead after the Falcons were caught with too many men on the field, giving Green Bay a first down rather than having to go for a fourth-and-1. Rodgers went to Janis for a 7-yard touchdown with 3:58 remaining, followed by a 2-point conversion.It wasnt enough. Sanus touchdown tied the game, and Matt Bryant booted through the winning extra point. Bryant had already become the Falcons career leading scorer, passing Morten Andersen, with a PAT after Atlantas first TD.SACKING THE PACKAdrian Clayborn had the first multi-sack game of his six-year NFL career, bringing down Rodgers twice in the second half.Vic Beasley Jr. also had a sack, giving him 6 1-2 over the last four games and 7 1-2 for the season.RODGERS RUNSRodgers was also Green Bays leading rusher with a career-high 60 yards on six carries. He broke his previous best of 57 yards in 2012, and posted the highest rushing total by a Packers quarterback since Don Majkowskis 88-yard effort in 1990.INJURY REPORTThe Falcons lost tight end Jacob Tamme to a right shoulder injury on the opening possession.Tamme took a hit at the end of a 13-yard reception and left the field holding his right arm.UP NEXTPackers: Return home next Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts (3-5), in what will be the only game played in Green Bay during the month of November. After that, its three straight on the road.Falcons: Have only three days to prepare for a Thursday night game at Tampa Bay (3-4), which is coming off a 30-24 overtime loss to Oakland. This will be the second meeting between the NFC South rivals; the Buccaneers opened the season with a 31-24 victory in Atlanta.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963.

Omar Vizquel has been confirmed as the manager of the Venezuelan national team that will compete in the 2017 World Baseball Classic.The announcement made by the countrys baseball federation on Friday night puts an end to a series of twists that triggered a potential boycott among Venezuelas key players.Vizquel, the Detroit Tigers first-base coach and a Caracas native, had been in a limbo since ESPNDeportes.com reported Tuesday night that he had been fired from his managerial post with Venezuela and replaced by Atlanta Braves first base coach Eddie Perez.MLB confirmed Wednesday morning that Team Venezuela was making a managerial change and that Perez would be the new manager for the upcoming WBC.In response, several players of Venezuelas national squad said they would withdraw from the team if Vizquel was dismissed.We spoke with Miguel Cabrera, Salvador Perez and others. A decision was made: We would only play if Vizquel is our manager, said pitcher Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, while speaking to the Union Radio 1090 AM station in Venezuela. Vizquel is an insignia [for our country], so I wouldnt play if hes not the manager.Hernandez was appointed by Vizquel as Venezuelas starting pitcher for the opening game against Puerto Rico, set to take place on March 10 in Estadio Charros de Jalisco in Guadalajara, Mexico.Throughout the week, Vizquel kept waiting for a phone call from Carlos Guillen, general manager of Venezuelas team, whom was responsible for removing Vizquel from his managerial post earlier in the week.ddddddddddddDuring the early hours of Friday, the scenario changed when Vizquel announced via Twitter that the two had finally connected.I called [Guillen] and we talked. We also met during the afternoon, Vizquel tweeted in Spanish.According to multiple media reports in Venezuela, the confusion stemmed from a conflict between Guillen and Vizquel.Guillen, a three-time All-Star, played 14 seasons in the majors with the Tigers and the Mariners. Before becoming a Tigers coach, Vizquel won 11 Gold Glove Awards in 24 major league seasons.Also speaking for the Union Radio 1090 AM, Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez echoed the support for Vizquel: I would definitely not play if Omar is not there; I wouldnt support those behind [Vizquels removal].Many other players have also voiced their support, including Chicago Cubs reliever Hector Rondon and Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra.We spoke and we are all in the same frequency: We wont play without Vizquel, said Parra. I believe that players -- at least those who are in the provisional roster -- have to be consulted before making any changes in the managerial post.Venezuela remains as one of the favorites to win the 2017 tournament. Japan was crowned champion in 2006 and 2009; the Dominican Republic won the championship in 2013.Venezuelas baseball federation will hold a news conference on Saturday as a follow-up to the announcement.
