ATLANTA -- Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman kept picking himself back up despite a throbbing shoulder that felt worse as the game wore on.Perryman watched two defensive teammates, Caraun Reid and Craig Mager, leave with injuries, and he had to take a couple of snaps off to give his shoulder some rest.It turned out to be just enough.San Diego rallied from a 17-point deficit Sunday, holding the NFLs most potent offense to three points after intermission for a 33-30 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons.Perryman intercepted Matt Ryan with 3-plus minutes remaining to set up the tying field goal and he had the big stop in overtime, tackling Devonta Freeman for a 1-yard loss on fourth down to set up the Josh Lambos 42-yard winning kick.Honestly, it was just instincts, Perryman said. It was fourth-and-one. They were successful running the ball today. We stopped them a couple of times, but it was fourth-and-one and, no-brainer, theyre going to run the ball. The d-line did their job. I did my job. All 11 did their job.Its been a hard month for Perryman. He injured his left shoulder in the second quarter of a one-point home loss to New Orleans on Oct. 2. He missed the following weeks loss at Oakland and took just 23 snaps in last weeks home win over Denver.Right now the adrenaline thats going on, I dont feel it, he said. But as soon as the cameras leave and I get on that plane, Im going to feel everything.Perryman gave himself a quick moment to savor his first career interception. He carried the ball to the sideline during the change of possession and clutched it next to his chest as he lay on his back smiling.Some teammates helped him get back on his feet and Perryman got to watch quarterback Philip Rivers and the offense run 11 plays and Lambo kick a 33-yarder in using up all but the last 18 seconds of regulation.Perryman and the defense got the chance they wanted after Matt Bryant missed a 58-yarder that wouldve won the game with no time left in regulation.I just stuck it out and just fought today, man, he said. I told the coaches I was going to give everything I got. I told (teammates the same thing) and they did a good job making sure I was staying positive, that I wasnt too down on myself because of the injury.When Freeman tried to spin away from pressure on fourth-and-one, Perryman already had his feet wrapped up, and the running back went down, touching off a big celebration on the field and the Chargers sideline.He knows how much he means to this football team, San Diego coach Mike McCoy said. He has something hes been dealing with. You all know about that. He didnt want to come off the field. He came off a couple of plays, felt a little better and went back out there.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLJacob Evans Jersey .

PORTLAND, Ore. -- CJ McCollum became a starter for the Trail Blazers last season, broke out as the NBAs Most Improved Player then signed a big contract over the summer.Driving him all along the way was third-year pressure.Because I knew that was a make-or-break year for me. I know that going into year three I hadnt played particularly well. Id had flashes, but I just didnt sustain a level of consistency for a season.In our league you get three years, you get traded, you get put in a box and they say `This is what you are, McCollum said when the team convened this week for training camp.The 25-year-old guard became a star in the Blazers backcourt with Damian Lillard last season after four of the teams starters left in the offseason.With one of the youngest rosters in the league, the Blazers were considered a team that was rebuilding.But they surpassed expectations, finishing 44-38 and earning the fifth seed in the Western Conference and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.At one point last season, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle referred to Lillard and McCollum as a younger version of those Golden State guys.McCollum averaged 20.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists during the regular season. He had 197 3-pointers, fourth most for the Blazers in one season. He scored in double figures in 79 games.He raised his scoring average by more than 14 points over the previous season and the dramatic turnaround earned him the Most Improved Player award.That improvement was the most since Tony Campbell from an average of 6.2 points tto 23.dddddddddddd2 points with Minnesota between the 88-89 and `89-90 seasons.McCollum averaged 20.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in the postseason last season.But at times he was nervous that he was just an injury away from seeing all the hard work fizzle away.It was nerve-wracking for me because if you get hurt so many times you fear it. Youre like, `Oh, this could be it, he said. So for me to get through a season healthy and to play well, it was comforting.McCollum, the 10th overall pick in the 2013 draft out of Lehigh, missed the first 34 games of his rookie season with a foot injury.The next season he was a reserve, but he started to turn heads down the stretch and into the playoffs after starter Wesley Matthews was knocked out with a ruptured Achilles. His postseason included a 33-point game against Memphis.This summer the Blazers solidified their backcourt for years to come by signing McCollum to a four-year contract worth $106 million. It will keep him in Portland through the 2020-21 season.While McCollum says he feels less pressure this season, hes still looking to grow. The Blazers signed free agent Evan Turner in the offseason to help shore up the Blazers depth at guard.As a younger player you just play and react, McCollum said. As an older player you start to get more experience and you start to `think the game. I think once I put those two things together I can be a special player. ' ' '
