Matt Ryan threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns, including the first NFL score for Pitts, and the Falcons held on to beat the Jets in a 27-20 victory Sunday.

LONDON — Matt Ryan didn't have his top two wide receivers in London. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback did have Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson — and that was enough, especially with the New York Jets stumbling early again.

Atlanta coughed up a late lead last week in a 34-30 loss to Washington, but this time grounded out the win despite allowing the Jets to stick around by losing two fumbles. And he did it Sunday without Ridley, who didn't accompany the team to London"due to a personal matter,'' while Gage is sidelined with an ankle injury.

"We weren't able to get going in the first half,'' Jets coach Robert Saleh said."A couple three-and-outs. Couldn't get into a rhythm.'' The Falcons then finally found the dagger drive they've been missing, driving 75 yards on nine plays, ending with Mike Davis' 3-yard run. On second-and-goal, Davis took the handoff, spun and got a collective push from his offensive linemen to get into the end zone to extend the lead to 27-17 with 2:19 to play. Davis finished with 53 yards on 13 carries.
