Unlike most of last season, officials hadnt been the focal point of NFL games until Sunday. Saucony Shadow 6000 Irish Coffee . Then, Jeff Triplettes crew got in the way of the Ravens-Giants thriller.A few hours later, Richard Sherman got away with grabbing Julio Jones in the closing minutes of the showdown in Seattle where the non-call shifted the power in the NFC.The Seahawks survived 26-24 when Sherman grabbed Jones right arm on Matt Ryans fourth-down heave to the Seattle 25-yard line with about 90 seconds remaining. Falcons coach Dan Quinn was hot on the sideline, but refused to criticize Tony Correntes crew afterward.We certainly had other opportunities in the game to go capitalize and finish, so we wont let it come down to one time for us, or at least comment on that, Quinn said.The Falcons (4-2) failed to follow up their signature win at Denver with another in Seattle that would have stamped them as an early Super Bowl favorite, along with the Seahawks and unbeaten Minnesota Vikings. But the Seahawks have to feel like they got away with one.No, Sherman said. I felt like we won the ballgame.The Giants beat the Ravens 27-23 , but were still furious that their victory was imperiled by Triplette and his crew twice in the final minutes.The Giants lost the lead with 2:04 to play and regained it 40 seconds later on the 66-yard catch and run by Odell Beckham Jr. They then held off a last-ditch Ravens drive that reached the 24-yard line thanks, in part, to a debatable roughing- the-passer call on a fourth-down incompletion that should have sealed New Yorks win.Baltimore took the lead after cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was called for pass interference at the 8-yard line. On the play, both he and receiver Breshad Perriman were looking back for the ball. If anything, Perriman seemed to interfere with the defender .The call went the other way, and Terrance West scored from 2 yards three plays later to give the Ravens a 23-20 lead. Beckham quickly restored New Yorks lead, but then he ripped off his helmet and was assessed a 15-yard penalty.On fourth-and-5 from the New York 39, Joe Flacco threw an incompletion and drew a late-hit call on Owa Odighizuwa, giving Baltimore a first down at the Giants 24 with 15 seconds to play.Unlike the Falcons, the Giants withstood the questionable calls to emerge with the win.Brad Allens crew lost track of Dallas timeouts in Green Bay and that cost Aaron Rodgers a chance at a free play. Rodgers, the master at catching defenses subbing too slowly, caught the Cowboys with 12 men on the field, but the officials granted linebacker Justin Durants timeout call and blew the play dead.The Cowboys were out of timeouts, so the Packers got 5 yards instead of a free play downfield, much to Rodgers chagrin.As far as calls that worked out, Chiefs coach Andy Reid sent in 346-pound Dontari Poe as an eligible receiver on third-and-goal from the 1 at Oakland and Poe caught Alex Smiths touchdown pass.That was, Reid said, was for all the chubby guys out there .Dolphins first-year coach Adam Gase tried to snatch running back C.J. Anderson from Denver in the offseason, signing him to a four-year, $18 million offer sheet that Broncos GM John Elway matched. Gase seems to have settled on Jay Ajayi , who rushed for 204 yards in Miamis 30-15 win over Pittsburgh.Anderson, meanwhile, is averaging 55 yards a game and still hasnt had a 100-yard performance before Halloween in his career. Rookie Devontae Booker looks ready for a bigger role in Denver.Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler probably made a good call when he heaped praise on his former team Sunday night.He left Denver on bad terms after he skipped Peyton Mannings retirement news conference and spurned the teams invitation to attend the White House and ring ceremonies that other free agents returned for. He also took what many Broncos saw as a shot at his former teammates when he said at his introductory news conference that the Texans gave him the best shot at winning.Osweiler leads the Texans into Denver next Monday night.I have nothing but love and respect for the entire city of Denver, the organization, all my old teammates, Osweiler said after leading Houstons comeback over the Colts. So, its purely take the emotions out and have a normal work week and just prepare for a great team.Along with some razzing from the fans and some pressure from Von Miller.---AP Sports Writers Tom Canavan, Josh Dubow and Steve Wine contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Saucony Grid 9000 .ca NBA Power Rankings, ahead of the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. Saucony Shadow Original .

VIENNA -- Jo-Wilfried Tsonga saved a match point before beating Ivo Karlovic 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (6) and setting up a final against top-seeded Andy Murray at the Erste Bank Open on Saturday.Murray advanced because defending champion David Ferrer pulled out with a left leg injury shortly before their semifinal.Tournament director Herwig Straka said Ferrer visited a private clinic, where doctors advised him not to play. Ferrer already looked hampered in Fridays quarterfinal, and he complained about muscle cramps after the 2 1/2-hour match against Serbias Viktor Troicki.The last two matches I had pain. Its too much to play now, the 19th-ranked Spaniard said.The ATP said it was only the second time in 1,024 career matches that Ferrer withdrew.He must be in quite a lot of pain, Murray said. Ill use today as a rest day, practice a little bit on the center court.Murray, who is 6-4 in finals this year, could set a personal best with a seventh tournament win in 2016. He leads Tsonga 12-3 in career meetings and has won the last four matches against the 15th-ranked Frenchman.The Scot, who is chasing his 42nd career title, is on a 13-match winning streak after winning back-to-back titles in Beijing and Shanghai. He won in Vienna on his only previous visit, in 2014.Im obviously motivated to trry and finish the season as strong as I can, Murray said. Scarpe Saucony Scontate. The first couple of matches were really tricky. But now that I get the chance to play for the title I hopefully play my best match in the final.In his first final of the year, Tsonga is aiming for his 13th career title. He won the event in 2011.I am really happy. When you win four matches in a row in that kind of tournament, it means that you play good tennis, Tsonga said.The eighth-seeded Karlovic used his only break point on Tsongas serve to take the opening set. He added an early break in the second but missed four more chances on the Frenchmans serve for a 5-2 lead, before losing 10 straight points and dropping his serve for a second time at 5-6.Tsonga went 4-2 up in the deciding set but lost his serve in the next game. He saved a match point for Karlovic at 6-5 in the tiebreaker before winning the next three points.It was a special match, Tsonga said. I was down one set and one break, then he gave me a break and I came back in the match. I just played more consistent and more aggressive.Karlovic, who won in Newport and Los Cabos, missed out on his fourth final of the season. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
