SEATTLE -- Atlanta coach Dan Quinn views having the Falcons practice in the Pacific Northwest as an opportunity to maximize preparation for Sundays game against the Seattle Seahawks and bring his team closer together.Atlanta extended its winning streak to four with a 23-16 road victory over the Denver Broncos last week. Rather than return home between games, the Falcons are practicing this week at the University of Washington.We thought it would be a unique time for our team to have that week together, and as well as the players not to battle back and forth through some time zones and some long flights, said Quinn , who was the defensive coordinator in Seattle during the 2013 and 2014 Super Bowl seasons prior to taking the Atlanta job. It just so happened this is how the schedule worked out. Were fortunate we have an opportunity to practice out here.Quinn said the makeup of the current team also contributed to the decision to practice in Seattle.Not every team, I think you would bring out here to have the right mindset to reset and go right to it, Quinn said. This is that team. Theyve got a great standard about how they want to prepare.The matchup features Atlantas top-ranked offense against Seattles No. 1-ranked defense. The Falcons are first in total offense at 457.4 yards per game and first in passing yards per game at 333.4. The Seahawks are allowing 264 yards per game and are second in passing defense.Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan leads the NFL in passing yards with 1,740 and has thrown 12 touchdowns with two interceptions.Ryan wasnt concerned about the prospect of inclement weather slowing down the Falcons offense.It doesnt bother me too much, Ryan said. I played in some pretty nasty weather growing up and Boston can tend to have some pretty ugly weather, as well. Ill be ready for it and I know our guys will be ready for it, as well.Linebackers Deion Jones (ankle), DeVondre Campbell (ankle), and Paul Worrilow (groin), who did not play against Denver, were limited Wednesday at practice, as were wide receiver Julio Jones (knee/shin) and guard Andy Levitre (knee).Quinn said Jones issue was not serious.The exciting thing is we could have every player back practicing tomorrow, Quinn said.The game is a homecoming for Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant, a Tacoma native who played at the University of Washington. His older brother, Marcus, spent most of his NFL career as a cornerback with the Seahawks.Im actually going to see him tonight, Desmond Trufant said. So, Im going to see what hes got to say. But, its all love. He had his time and it was great to watch him, but I think hes on my side of the fence now.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Eagles Jerseys Store . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

CLEVELAND -- After hitting a double and talking a walk in four plate appearances in his Arizona Fall League finale, Chicago Cubs outfielder/catcher Kyle Schwarber was on his way to Cleveland on Monday night and could be his teams designated hitter in Tuesdays Game 1 of the World Series against the Indians.Reports are good, manager Joe Maddon said Monday afternoon.

Hes done some sliding drills, all that kind of stuff to just test the whole thing out.Schwarber, 23, has missed all but 2.5 games of the season with torn ligaments in his left knee after colliding with teammate Dexter Fowler in the outfield.

Last October, he hit five home runs for the Cubs, making him their career postseason home run leader. Hes also a fan favorite.
