CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Graham Gano is hoping for another chance against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.I hope this one comes down to a game-winning kick, the Carolina Panthers 27-year-old kicker said. Those are the kicks you dream of, so I hope I get another shot.Gano missed a potential game-winning 46-yard field goal try last month against the Falcons with 1:27 remaining and had a 63-yarder blocked as time expired. The Panthers lost 19-17.Had Carolina won that game, it would have already clinched the NFC South division.Instead, the Panthers need a win or tie at Atlanta to become the first team to repeat as NFC South champions.The Panthers (6-8-1) enter the game in first place, but the Falcons (6-9) can pass them with a win. The winner will host a playoff game.Gano signed a four-year, $12.4 million extension last off-season after he turned in a career year converting 24 of 27 field goals, including all six from 50 yards and beyond. Hes made 27 of 33 field goal attempts this season, but has a miss in each of his past two games.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said his confidence in Gano hasnt wavered. Rivera said misses are going to happen.Hell come to me and say something about it and I will just say, Ive got all of the confidence in the world in you, Rivera said. The truth of the matter is hes going to get an opportunity to win a big one for us, whether its this week of some other time. The key for him is being focused and ready. This game is about as big as it gets, so who knows?Ganos 46-yard miss on Nov. 16 against the Falcons was a tough blow for the Panthers — and the fans in their home stadium — after Cam Newton had driven the team into field goal range with a series of pass completions.Figuring they could count on Gano, the Panthers went with three conservative plays calls after reaching the Atlanta 32. The three runs netted just 4 yards.The strategy failed when the right-footed Gano hooked the 46-yarder wide left.Gano said it took him about two seconds to put the kick behind him. He got another shot as time expired and felt like he hit the 63-yarder well, but it was low coming out and blocked.Like a cornerback who gets beat on a deep pass, Gano said kickers have to have short memories.If you dont then you wont last very long in this league, Gano said. Ive faced adversity before and you have to handle it and move on.NOTES: Cam Newton gave his teammates Beats headphones, while linebacker Luke Kuechly got them Bose headphones.

Here is an open letter from Steven Stamkos to his fans: When I shot this final Moment Zero film last August, it was a fun few days on set with Coke Zero and Jordan Eberle in my hometown of Markham.MIAMI -- The postgame scene in the Washington Nationals clubhouse included a smoke machine, strobe lights and blaring music, which created an atmosphere akin to a South Beach nightclub. Following a woeful weekend, the Nationals had something to celebrate Monday. Jordan Zimmermann became the first starter to pitch seven innings this season for the Nationals, and they totalled 11 extra-base hits to beat the slumping Miami Marlins 9-2. The rout came after the Nationals were swept in a three-game series at Atlanta. "That was a tough weekend, but they responded," manager Matt Williams said. "They came out today and played hard." The Marlins endured their eighth loss in a row. "The only way we can get out of this thing is somebody needs to step up, go out there and say, Its over, Im done with it," manager Mike Redmond said. "We either need a big pitching performance or a big hit or a big play to spark us to get us going. Those guys understand that, and hopefully it will come Tuesday." Bryce Harper had two doubles and an RBI triple for Washington. He has batted .520 over his past seven games to boost his average to .348. Harper came out of the game as a precaution in seventh inning after he slipped running the bases. He said he has been nursing a sore thigh muscle. "It has been tight since Friday, but nothing too serious," Harper said. "Im ready to go Tuesday." Catcher Sandy Leon hit his first career home run, while Tyler Moore also homered and had an RBI single. Anthony Rendon drove in three runs with a double and a triple, and Danny Espinosa doubled and tripled. "It was a fun night," Moore said in the smoke-filled clubhouse. "We needed that after three tough losses in a row. Were just trying to turn the page. We swung the bats good, and Jordan pitched great." Zimmermann (1-0) bounced back from the shortest start of his career. After lasting only 1 2-3 innings when he gave up five runs against Miami last week, he lowered his ERA from 8.10 to 5.27, allowing two runs while striking out seven. "It was a lot better today," he said. "I was getting ahead with the fastball. When Im able to get ahead, I can throw everything elsee where I want and when I want.ddddddddddddWhen I fall behind, thats when I run into trouble." The right-hander gave up a homer to Garrett Jones but tied the Nationals record of 44 career victories set by Livan Hernandez. Zimmermann also had two of the Nationals season-high 16 hits. "A lot of guys on our team are swinging it well," Harper said. "Its contagious. Everybody is hitting it. It goes one through eight -- even one through nine." The Nationals improved to 4-0 this year against the Marlins and have outscored them 31-10. Washington started fast against Brad Hand after being swept in a three-game series at Atlanta last weekend. Jayson Werth missed a home run by inches when he doubled off the top of the wall with two out in the first, and Harper followed with an RBI single. Moore skipped a ball off the top of the wall into the Marlins bullpen for a homer in the second. Rendon hit a two-run double later in the inning to make it 4-0. Hand (0-1) fell to 1-11 in his career as a starter. He lasted only three innings while allowing five runs and five extra-base hits. Things are going so bad for the Marlins they brought in closer Steve Cishek trailing by seven runs in the ninth because he needed the work. It likely wont get any easier for the Marlins on Tuesday, when they face Stephen Strasburg. He beat them last week and began this week leading the NL in strikeouts.
