Falcons 28, Panthers 20

ATLANTA (AP) - Jake Delhomme nearly made it through an entire
game without a turnover.
    Then, with just 2½ minutes to go, Chris Houston handed the
Carolina quarterback a familiar setback.
    Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes in the first half and
Houston stopped a Delhomme-led rally at the end, intercepting a
pass at the Falcons 4 to preserve Atlanta’s 28-20 win over the
Panthers on Sunday.
    Delhomme had accounted for 11 turnovers in his two previous
games, including a four-interception, one-fumble fiasco against
Philadelphia to open the season. He was much better against the
Falcons (2-0), completing 25 of 41 for 308 yards and a touchdown.
    But the result was the same for the Panthers (0-2). Another
loss.
