TAMPA, Fla.
Wholesale Ravens Jerseys . -- The Tampa Bay
Buccaneers arent spending a lot of time mulling over the prospects of earning a
playoff berth for the first time in nearly a decade.The surest way to give
themselves the best possible shot is to win their remaining two games, and thats
all Jameis Winston and his teammates need to know.I love math, but I dont trust
the percentages and the probabilities, the second-year quarterback said. I trust
our heart, this teams heart, and what we need to do to find a way to get in
there.The Bucs (8-6) play at New Orleans on Saturday, then close out the regular
season at home against defending NFC champion Carolina on Jan.1.Tampa Bay, which
trails first-place Atlanta (9-5) by one game in the NFC South standings, hasnt
made the playoffs since 2007.Beating the Saints and Panthers wont absolutely
guarantee a berth, however there are few potential scenarios that would
eliminate the Bucs if they finish with 10 wins.Coach Dirk Koetter conceded that
at this point in the season, its difficult to keep track of all the mathematical
possibilities associated with a playoff race.Of course its out there, and we
talked about it a little bit (Tuesday). But if we dont do what were supposed to
do, then its just speculation, Koetter said. So we cant spend too much time. ...
Weve got our hands full just worrying about the Saints this week. The rest of it
is all just a bunch of math problems that are over my head.Last Sundays 26-20
loss at Dallas was Tampa Bays first in six weeks. It cost the Bucs a clear path
to the second NFC wild-card spot, although they didnt have to wait long for some
much-needed help with Washington (7-6-1) losing to Carolina to relinquish the
inside track to a berth on Monday night.Winston is confident the team, which won
five straight to climb into playoff contention after starting 3-5, has the
mettle to bounce back and finish strong.He feels the team demonstrated that it
has what it takes to get the job done by putting together a five-game winning
streak -- Tampa Bays longest in 13 years -- to climb into contention after a 3-5
start.Just never giving up. Playing against tough teams and believing that we
can do it, expecting to win, not hoping, the quarterback said.Not playing not to
lose, but playing to win. Thats important because its a fine margin between a
win and a loss, Winston added. You see it, inches really do determine the game
that we play. So when you go out there expecting to win instead of hoping to
win, its different.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and

St. BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- A new era opens for the U.S. womens soccer team at
the Olympic Games when a generation of younger players seeks to continue the
global domination established at last years World Cup.Bidding to add Olympic
gold to World Cup success, the U.S. will have 11 Olympic newcomers on its roster
when it opens against New Zealand on Wednesday at the Mineirao Stadium.It will
be the teams first major competition since the retirement of players such as
Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday following lats years triumph in Canada.Of course
we had some gigantic losses, some players that have been around the game for
quite some time, and they are irreplaceable, really, veteran goalkeeper Hope
Solo said. But we have something different and I dont think anybody has seen the
U.S. team as we are right now. Nobody knows what to expect, with our younger
players, with our new talent, with our formation. So I think its going to be
exciting.Seeking a fourth straight Olympic gold, the Americans are also without
Christine Rampone because of injury, while Sydney Leroux and Amy Rodriguez are
pregnant. Two other key players, captain Carli Lloyd and midfielder Megan
Rapinoe are coming to Brazil recovering from health problems. Rapinoe is not
expected to play in the early games.Theres been a little bit of a change in the
roster, but its good, Lloyd said. I think we have about 11 players who are
competing in their first Olympics, which is a huge turnaround, but I also think
that those players bring experience, theyve been around this team, theyve earned
quite a few a caps with the team and are doing very well. So I think that, mixed
in with us old folks, we will be all right.Among the Olympic newcomers are a few
players who also made it to the World Cup last year, including Meghan
Klingenberg, Ali Krieger, Morgan Brian and Whitney Engen. The youngest player in
the current roster is 18-year-old Mallory Pugh. The U.S. is tryiing to become
the first team to win the Olympics after succeeding at the World Cup.

Joe Flacco Jersey. Lloyd, the teams captain in Rio, said the U.S.
remains favored to win the title despite the revamped team.I think the toughest
(opponents) are going to be ourselves, said Lloyd, who scored a hat trick in the
World Cup final against Japan. No other team should intimidate our team. Of
course, there are going to be tough contenders, but honestly, not a single team
intimidates me.The U.S. is trying to win its fifth gold medal since womens
soccer became an Olympic sport in 1996. It won its third World Cup title in
Canada, the first since 1999.I think we are always feeling the pressure of
coming back with gold. Its just in our DNA, Lloyd said. Even if we hadnt won the
World Cup wed still be under tremendous pressure to win. It comes with being the
No. 1 team in the world and going for a fourth consecutive gold medal. We are
super excited to get started. I know this team has a lot of talent and depth and
we have the opportunity to really create history.After playing New Zealand, the
U.S. faces powerhouse France and then Colombia in Group G of the 12-team Olympic
tournament. Second-ranked Germany, fifth-ranked Australia, sixth-ranked Sweden
and host Brazil loom as potential quarterfinal opponents.We as a team
acknowledge the pressure, Solo said. We know that the target is on our backs. We
are ranked No. 1 for quite some time, we won last years World Cup, we won the
last Olympics. It doesnt make it easy. We dont come into any tournament with an
extreme amount of confidence or arrogance. We know that the job is going to be
extremely difficult to repeat winning a gold medal.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter:
