If there ever was a time that highlighted the benefits of creative relief pitcher usage, its the 2016 postseason. Alex Sandro Brazil Jersey . Weve seen a teams closer,?Kenley Jansen,?come into the game in the seventh to pitch the longest stint of his career, and weve seen the teams ace get the save. Weve seen Aroldis Chapman used in the eighth twice in three games. Weve seen Andrew Miller?used as Clevelands personal 911 service, coming in any time between the fifth and the eighth and throwing 17 1/3 scoreless innings with 30 strikeouts this postseason.People talk about killing the win, but if theres any stat in baseball that deserves capital punishment, its the save. Lets kill it, blow it up, burn the pieces and send the ashes by rocket into the sun.Well-designed evaluative stats, by their very nature, measure events that lead teams to win games. Home runs arent valuable just because someone declared they are valuable, but because theyre the event in baseball that most leads to runs being scored. Saves, on the other hand, are an accounting fiction. The closer role as it currently stands exists not to maximize team wins but to maximize the number of saves.It didnt get this way overnight. Baseballs modern closer role started in 1977, when Cubs manager Herman Franks nearly stopped using Bruce Sutter when the team was behind. After he was used 23 times when the team was behind in his 2.70 ERA rookie year, Sutter was used when behind only 19 times the next four years.

Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before.Oscar has revealed to Sky Sports News HQ the extent of his frustration at a lack of playing time this season but insists he wants to stay at Chelsea and prove himself under new manager Antonio Conte. The 24-year-old Brazil international has made 20 Premier League starts after an early-season injury and is reportedly attracting interest from a host of top European clubs including Juventus.But, speaking ahead of their penultimate game of the season at Liverpool, live on Sky Sports 2 HD on Wednesday night, Oscar says Contes arrival is a clean slate for the entire Chelsea squad. Its been very difficult for me, Oscar told Sky Sports News HQ. I had a great season last season, and Im coming from two or three seasons of doing well, but I was one of those players who got injured at the start of the season. Oscar has made 13 appearances of the bench this season When I came back, the team wasnt doing so well and I found myself on the bench and in and out of the first team. I didnt achieve the level I wanted to achieve but hopefully next season I can do better.[The new managers arrival] is great for the players. Obviously you have to prove yourself. Im sure the coach has been following all the players individually. Oscar is looking forward to proving himself under Antonio Conte next season It will be a breath of fresh air to the team and everyones excited to prove their worth to be here. Neymar Jersey. Obviously I havent been very happy because I havent been playing very much but, with the new coach coming in, its a fresh beginning for everyone.Doubts remain, however, over the future of Chelseas long-standing captain John Terry, who is out of contract in June, and has not been given any indication yet from the club that he is in line for an extension.Terry said on Tuesday that he still wants to stay at Stamford Bridge, while interim head coach Guus Hiddink believes the centre-back is worthy of a new deal, and Oscar also hopes the skipper will remain at the club.He said: His future is down to him and Chelsea to decide whats best. Obviously I want him to stay but its down to them.Hes a great leader and he has helped me ever since I arrived here. I like him very much but he will know whats best for his future and whatever he decides Ill be happy for him.

METAIRIE, La. Eric Dier Jersey . -- The New Orleans Saints placed cornerback P.J. Williams on injured reserve Wednesday after he was carted off the field with a concussion on Sunday.Its unclear whether Williams suffered any injuries beyond the concussion. Saints coach Sean Payton and Williams agent, Deryk Gilmore, both said Monday that Williams diagnosis was encouraging after he spent the night in a New York-area hospital for evaluation.Williams is unlikely to return this season, since the Saints can return only one player from injured reserve -- and they will likely use that designation on defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins when he is eligible after the first eight weeks.Williams was down on the field for several tense minutes Sunday before he was immobilized against a backboard, with his helmet strapped down, and lifted onto a cart. He appeared to have been hit by two knees to the head -- the first from the leg of New York Giants tight end Larry Donnell and the second from Saints teammate Craig Robertson in the back of his helmet.Players from both teams immediately waved for trainers to come onto the field and showed support and concern for Williams while he was being evaluated.Its a concussion, but yet its one significant enough that you wouldnt really see on a normal basis, Payton said Thursday. Hell be able to make a full recovery, hell be able to return to football in the offseason. And yet, I would say probably one of the more severe concussions that Ive seen.Hes doing better, Payton continued. None of this will carry over and limit him in any way in the future.This is the second time Williams has been placed on injured reserve in his young career since being drafted in the third round out of Florida State in 2015. He missed all of last season with a hamstring injury. Then he won a starting job this summer, only to go back on IR after two starts.The Saints cornerback position has been ravaged by injury. Their top cornerback, Delvin Breaux, suffered a broken fibula in Week 1 that is expected to keep him out for at least six weeks. Veteran Keenan Lewis was released during the preseason after a setback with his lingering hip injury. Backups Damian Swann and Kyle Wilson were placed on IR during the summer.That leaves New Orleans with recently signed veterans Sterling Moore and B.W. Webb and undrafted rookies?DeVante Harris?and Ken Crawley heading into this weeks matchup against star receiver?Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons.Thats not great considering the Saints secondary was struggling even when it was healthier last year. The Saints set NFL records for TD passes allowed in a season (45) and opponents passer rating (116.1).The good news is that New Orleans makeshift lineup played surprisingly well against the Giants and receiver?Odell Beckham Jr.?in Week 2. Although QB?Eli Manning threw for 368 yards, the Giants didnt score an offensive touchdown in their 16-13 win over the Saints.New Orleans replaced Williams on the roster by re-signing veteran offensive tackle Tony Hills, who has been on and off the roster since last year. Saints right tackle Zach Strief left Sundays game early with an unspecified injury. Hills could be needed as an alternative. Danny Rose Jersey . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. Danny Drinkwater England Jersey . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. http://www.soccerenglandfansshop.com/Daniel-Sturridge-UEFA-EURO-Jersey/.

DENVER -- Breaking into the big leagues is a challenge in itself. For Atlanta Braves pitcher Tyrell Jenkins, who will make his third career start on Sunday, scheduling has compounded the task.Jenkins has pitched in two of the best hittters ballparks in the National League and is about to take the mound in a third.Jenkins, who turned 24 on Wednesday, made four relief appearances from June 22 to July 3. His first major league start was a spot start on July 6 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. His second start was Tuesday at Cinncinnatis Great American Ball Park and now Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.Jenkins is 0-1 with a 4.05 ERA in his six games with 11 walks, nine strikeouts and 20 hits allowed in 20 innings.In his first start at Philadelphia, he allowed four hits and one run in 4 1/3 innings with one walk and one strikeout. Jenkins threw 64 pitches but wasnt involved in the decision as the Braves lost 4-3.In Cincinnati, Jenkins threw 107 pitches in six innings and allowed two runs, four hits and four walks with two strikeouts. He again was not involved in the decision as the Braves won 5-4 in 10 innings.Hes stretched out and good to go, interim Braves manager Brian Snitker said. The other day (in Cincinnati), he got in that groove after the second inning, that rhythm started kicking in and he was flowing.Hes very athletic, has all the pitches. Its just the command issue (at times). The thing about the kid is he competes, he just keeps pitching no matter the situation in the game. Hes got a big upside.Tyler Chatwood, who is 8-6 with a 3.83 ERA, will start for the Rockies. He gave up a career-high-tying seven earned runs and eight hits in three innings against Tampa Bay on Tuesday and lost 10-1. Chatwood has lost consecutive starts for the first time this season. And for the first time in 52 innings since May 15, Chatwood allowed a home run -- a two-run shot by Evan Longoria.In three starts since coming off the disabled list aftr a mid-back strain, Chatwood is 00-2 with a 8. Jonjo Shelvey Jersey. 1 ERA. He has thrived on the road, going 5-0 with a 1.30 ERA (48 1/3 innings, 7 earned runs) and struggled at Coors Field, where he is 3-6 with a 6.26 ERA (50 1/3 innings, 35 earned runs).Obviously, the Rockies hope Chatwood can go deep in the game -- he has pitched into the seventh and beyond eight times this year -- but they added a much-needed arm to their bullpen on Saturday when Scott Oberg was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque.Oberg took the roster spot of reliever Chad Qualls (colitis), who was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 16.In 27 games with Albuquerque, Oberg is 1-0 with nine saves and a 2.43 ERA in 29 1/3 innings. He has been particularly good lately, going 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA in 18 games in June and July with six walks and 27 strikeouts in 19 innings.In those 29 1/3 innings, Oberg allowed one home run, which is notable. He gave up two homers in 13 1/3 innings in nine games with the Rockies earlier this year and allowed 10 homers in 58 1/3 innings in 64 games with the Rockies last year.Its just kind of been being a little bit more consistent with everything, Oberg said of his success at Albuquerque that led to his promotion. Getting ahead in counts and being able to execute all my pitches for the most part when I want to.Oberg, 26, relieved starter Tyler Anderson in the seventh inning on Saturday night and retired the three Braves batters he faced, two on ground balls. Oberg threw 15 pitches, including 10 strikes.Before the game, manager Walt Weiss said of Oberg, Hes got plus stuff across the board. Its just a matter of commanding it, and thats what hes doing. His fastball is very lively again.We think a lot of the kid, I certainly do. Hes throwing the ball very well. So Im looking forward to seeing him again.In his first appearance with the Rockies since June 19, Oberg did nothing to disappoint.

SAN ANTONIO -- Breanna Stewart had 21 points and seven rebounds, and the Seattle Storm ended a three-game losing streak with a 78-68 win over the San Antonio Stars on Friday night.

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. It has not been a kind season thus far for defending champions Leicester City. The club has largely failed to recreate any of the magic from last campaign when they rollicked through the Premier League all the way to the most improbable title in history.Well, despite keeping hold of stars Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, Claudio Ranieris men have struggled in the new campaign. Saturday represents another opportunity to get things turned around on the domestic front when the Foxes welcome Crystal Palace to King Power Stadium.The Foxes (2-2-4) are 0-1-2 in their last three league fixtures following last weeks 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea. Leicester were outplayed from the start as the Blues scored within the first seven minutes, recorded 16 shots and held Ranieris side to not a single attempt on target.Despite the league struggles, Leicester kept their form up in European competition with a 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen to remain perfect in Champions League group play. Mahrezs 40th-minute strike was enough to give the Foxes the impressive victory.Im very proud, Ranieri said. From one side Im very proud, but when I think of the Premier League Im very, very hungry. When you play in a big competition you lose something when you go back to your league. That is normal but we want to change it. Its just psychological because when we play in the Champions League our special qualities switch on.Crystal Palace (3-2-3) have made a decent start to their seasoon, but have surprisingly struggled at home with just one win in four fixtures there. Chauncey Billups Jersey. . The Eagles find themselves in decent position in 9th place, but theyll need to improve that home form over the course of the season if they are to mount a challenge for a Europa League place.This clash offers the club a chance to improve on a trend of starting slowly, which has doomed the Eagles the past two weeks. Against Everton prior to the international break, Palace fell behind after 35 minutes thanks to a strike from Romelu Lukaku. Last week, Alan Pardews side stumbled out of the gate as Manuel Lanzinis 19th-minute goal proved to be the difference in a 1-0 defeat to West Ham United.Its a derby game and I expected a little bit more aggression on the pitch and a bit more brightness than we showed in the first 20 minutes, and it was a crucial period in the game, Pardew said. West Ham have been on a difficult run so we decided that we needed to have a fast start and we gave them a gee-up. When they got the goal it was difficult.Leicester won both meetings against Crystal Palace last season in the Premier League by a 1-0 scoreline. Vardy scored the winner in October 2015 while Mahrezs goal in March 2016 was enough for victory.Prior to last season, Palace had won four of their previous six Premier League games against the Foxes.

OAKLAND, Calif. Roger Espinoza Kansas City Jersey . -- Whether its going for the win with a late 2-point conversion instead of kicking the safer extra point or passing up easy field goals for fourth-down attempts, Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio has been consistent so far this season.If he has a chance to put the game in quarterback Derek Carr and the offenses hands, he will do it. So far, those bold moves have mostly paid off and are a big reason the Raiders (4-1) head into Sundays game against Kansas City (2-2) tied for first place in the AFC West, and seeking their first four-game winning streak in 14 years.Ive said this before, it just gives us confidence, Carr said. I dont know if it makes us feel any certain type of way but it definitely gives us confidence that he trusts us in fourth-and-2, fourth-and-short, backed up, 2-point conversions. He trusts us to execute.Carr has validated that trust often this season. He connected with Michael Crabtree on the game-winning 2-point conversion in the opener at New Orleans, and has thrown two more TD passes to Crabtree on fourth down.The latest of those came when Carr threw a 21-yard pass on fourth-and-3 for the go-ahead score in last weeks 34-31 win against San Diego.Its just based on what I think is best for the football team to give us the best opportunity to win, Del Rio said. Everything we do is about that.One reason for Del Rios risk taking has been that his offense has significantly outplayed the defense, which is allowing 7.0 yards per play, which would be the worst mark in the NFL since the merger.Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith downplays those struggles, pointing out that Oakland has faced quarterbacks Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers.Theyve played some good offenses, Smith said. Thats kind of inflated that. Theyve been in some good battles though. Theyve been in a bunch of close games, so theyre certainly battle tested.Here are some other things to watch:CHARLES COMEBACK: The Chiefs figure to get a big boost on offense with running back Jamaal Charles expected to play a significant role for the first time since tearing the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season. Charles had two carries two weeks ago in Pittsburgh before the bye and expects to carry a full load against the Raiders.I feel like Im ready, he said. I told them to let the training wheels off me -- I know how to ride now. Take them off and let me ride.REUNION GAME: After spending the previous three years in Kansas City, Raiders cornerback Sean Smith gets to match up with some of his former teammates. After a slow start to his career in Oakland that included getting pulled in the season opener, Smith has stepped it up. He has allowed nine catches on 19 targets the past three games after giving 10 on 12 targets the first two weeks, according to Sportradar. He also has already matched his career high with two interceptions.I started out kind of slow. I had to make some adjustments, some tweaks here and there, Smith said. It was nothing serious, nothing that couldnt be fixed.HOMECOMING GAME: Playing at Oakland has special meaning to Chiefs second-year cornerback Marcus Peters, who grew up in the city cheering for the Raiders. Peters, the 2015 Defensive Rookie of the Year, had an interception in his first NFL game at the Coliseum -- one of his league high 12 since entering the league last year.Hes aggressive, a playmaker, great hands, great ball skills as a DB, Carr said. Anytime a corner has great ball skills, you have to be careful with those 50-50 chance balls.SEARCHING FOR SACKS: After getting 15 sacks last season, Oaklands Khalil Mack is having a harder time bringing down quarterbacks this year. He has just one sack through five games, although he does have 14 additional quarterback pressures, according to Sportradar. The Raiders also believe Mack has been hindered by teams getting away with some holds.Thats probably the biggest thing that stands out, the number of times the opponent is just pulling him down, restricting him from getting to the quarterback, Del Rio said. At some point thats going to balance out, well start getting some of those calls.BYE SUCCESS: Kansas City coach Andy Reid always has his team ready to play after the bye. In 17 seasons as coach of the Eagles and Chiefs, Reids teams have a 15-2 record in their first game after the bye.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Dave Skretta in Kansas City, Missouri, contributed to this report.

United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft.SASKATOON - Nathan MacKinnon says he may never score a bigger goal. Bold words for a player with a bright NHL future, but fans of the Halifax Mooseheads would probably agree. MacKinnon had a hat trick, including a title-clinching goal into an empty net, and Jonathan Drouin had a sublime five-assist performance as Halifax held off a late Portland rally to defeat the Winterhawks 6-4 in the final of the MasterCard Memorial Cup. Leading 5-2 with under six minutes to go, the Mooseheads watched as Portland cut it to 5-4 with 1:14 left. Thats when MacKinnon, a 17-year-old with maturity beyond his years, scored into an empty net to send Halifax to its first Canadian Hockey League title. "I might not score a bigger goal in my life," said MacKinnon, who added two assists and was named tournaments most valuable player after scoring a tournament-best seven goals and six assists in four games. "Its just ... 22 seconds left. We won it. Were champions. "The empty netter will be in my mind forever." After the game, players mingled with family on the ice as a small but vocal group of travelling Mooseheads fans chanted, cheered and banged on the glass in the near-empty Credit Union Centre. "Its unbelievable. I grew up in Halifax. Ive watched this team go through hard times and good times," MacKinnon added. "After that second period there was a little doubt creeping into our mind but at the same time we had a pretty solid third period. They made it close again but its all worth it." Konrad Abeltshauser added two goals and an assist, while Martin Frk had a goal and two assists for Halifax, which got 40 saves from Zachary Fucale as a team from the QMJHL won the Memorial Cup for the third straight year. "Right now theres so much going through my mind," Fucale said. "Its that feeling you cant describe. "It felt like the longest game ever but now it seems as if it went so fast, as if the past two years just flew by. This feels as if its not even real. This is crazy." Mooseheads coach Dominique Ducharme said his best players excel when the games mean the most. "Nathan, Jonathan and Fucale ... those guys, they like big moments," he said. "They like playing in big games and they want to be difference makers and tonight they were. "Those guys like facing big teams and big moments and big challenges. Tonight they just showed that theyre big-time players." Ty Rattie had a goal and three assists, while Nicolas Petan added a goal and two assists for the Winterhawks. Seth Jones and Brendan Leipsic also scored for Portland, while Mac Carruth made 35 stops for the Western Hockey League champions. "Its not kind of disappointing, its very disappointing," said Winterhawks coach Travis Green, whose team was down 3-0 after the first period. "I thought we showed a lot of heart coming back. We made a late push but it wasnt enough." Leading 3-2 in the third, MacKinnon gave his team some breathing room at 7:36 with his tournament-leading sixth goal by chipping a puck past a fallen Carruth. Abeltshauser then followed up on a MacKinnon rush to bury a rebound at 11:11 to make it 5-2. Leipsic got one back for Portland at 14:32 and Rattie scored with 1:14 left to cut the deficit to one, but MacKinnon iced the game with 22.4 seconds remaining before the Mooseheads spilled onto to the ice to celebrate at the final buzzer. "Its probably the greatest game Ive ever played. Its just the greatest moment," Drouin said. "Its unbelievable. Winning the Memorial Cup with this group of guys is remarkable. "Well remember this game for pprobably the rest of our lives. Graham Zusi Kansas City Jersey. " Down 3-0 after a disastrous first period, the Winterhawks came out with renewed vigour in the second, outshooting the Mooseheads 18-6 and scoring twice. Portland got its first while killing a penalty when Rattie jumped on a Halifax turnover in the Mooseheads end and fed Petan, who beat Fucale with a backhand move at 10:36. The Winterhawks, who won the WHL title despite the season-long suspension of coach and general manager Mike Johnston for transgressions that included financial perks for players and their families, looked to have cut the deficit to one later in the period, but after a video review it was judged Rattie directed the puck into the net with his glove. No review would be needed a few minutes later with the teams playing 4-on-4 when Jones, a defenceman who is the No. 1 ranked North American skater according to NHL Central Scouting ahead of Junes draft, roofed a shot on Fucale from in tight with 1:19 left in the period. The Mooseheads, who lost just six games in the regular season and once in the playoffs as the CHLs top-ranked team before earning a bye right to the final of this tournament, were a step ahead in the first period. "They came out hard," Rattie said. "We stuck together like we have all year. We came out in the second period, third period and played our game." After Stephen MacAulay, Frk and MacKinnon couldnt connect for Halifax on three glorious chances in front of Carruth, Abeltshauser got Halifax on the board at 6:31. The overage German defenceman, playing his final game for the Mooseheads, ripped a one-timer off a feed from Drouin from the point past a screened Carruth up high on the power play. MacKinnon, who is second on the NHLs Central Scouting list behind Jones and also had a hat trick and an assist in Halifaxs 7-4 victory over Portland in the round robin, made it 2-0 just 89 seconds later, snapping a quick shot past Carruth from the slot. The Mooseheads stretched their lead to three at 15:59 on a rocket of a one-timer from Frk off another feed from Drouin that beat a helpless Carruth upstairs. Drouin, who was named CHL player of the year on Saturday, is ranked No. 3 behind Jones and MacKinnon ahead of the draft. Carruth, an emotional goalie who wears his heart on his sleeve, kept the score at 3-0 in the final minute of the period with two big saves, but Portland still found itself in a big hole before rallying in the second. "We werent sharp," Winterhawks defenceman Derrick Pouliot said. "It took us a period to wake up and by then it was real tough to come back." Meanwhile, the Mooseheads are looking forward to sharing their first championship with their fans back home. "Im proud of everyone and so happy for the people of Halifax who supported the organization for so long," Ducharme said. "This year was just incredible and to come back to Halifax with that trophy and share it with them is going to great." Notes: Fucale, Pouliot, Abeltshauser, MacKinnon, Frk and Rattie were named to the tournament all-star team. Saskatoon Blades goalie Andrey Makarov was named the top goalie, while London Knights centre Bo Horvat won the sportsmanship award. ...

Harry Taylor and Lachie Henderson could be unleashed in Geelongs forward line during the AFL finals, having helped swing Sundays game at the MCG.Cats coach Chris Scott shifted key defenders Taylor and Henderson into attack against Richmond, desperate for a spark after his side managed just 4.13 in the opening three quarters.Coupled with some dominance in the midfield, it resulted in six consecutive goals and a four-point win for Geelong.Both Taylor and Henderson have performed the role of swingman in the past but not during this season.Dont be surprised if Scott uses the ploy again this year.Horses for courses a little it, he said, when asked if it could happen in September.Its an option that weve talked about a lot. Im sure well continue to talk about it.We train it a little bit because were reticent to throw things at the team that we havent practised.Although we did a few things against Richmond that we havent necessarily talked about. The pleasing thing for us is the players showed the willingness to adapt in a pretty high-pressure situation.Scott conceded he should have tried to mix things up earlier in the contest, with the Tigers stacking numbers in defence aand Alex Rance negating the impact of Cats spearhead Tom Hawkins. Jack Wilshere Jersey. What we changed in the last quarter probably could have happened a little bit earlier, he said.We know Harry Taylor can play forward and weve very confident that Lachie can play forward for us as well.Those two made a difference. It opened up a little bit for Hawkins.Taylor, who kicked a clutch goal in his 200th game, relished the chance to lock horns with gun defender Rance.Because he is a fantastic defender and just to get to learn a few of his tricks, Taylor said.I often watch him on the vision but dont often get the opportunity to play on him so from that point of view it was a really good learning opportunity.I took a lot out of that match up and hopefully I will be able to use it in my game.It was great to go up there albeit I was a bit limited with injury.Taylor expects he will be fit for the Cats clash with Brisbane at the Gabba on Sunday.I went back when playing forward and got crunched so it was a bit of a hip pointer, sore but I will be fine, he said.

OAKLAND, Calif. Baltimore Orioles T-shirts . -- After too often finding themselves on the wrong end of close games a year ago, the Oakland Raiders have thrived in those situations this season.Derek Carr and the Raiders found a new way to win Sunday, using a go-ahead, fourth-down 21-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree and a botched hold on a potential tying field goal to beat the San Diego Chargers 34-31 .Guys have a lot of confidence because we work really hard especially in those situations, Carr said. We spend a lot of time throwing routes, spend a lot of time going over coverages, spend a lot of time in two-minute drills, end of game situations. You hang our hat on weve done this before. Lets be confident when we get on the field.After using a late 2-point conversion to win the opener, stopping a late Tennessee drive in a Week 3 win and using a late score and defensive stop to beat Baltimore last week, the Raiders (4-1) survived against the Chargers (1-4) to post their first three-game winning streak in five years.That has put an Oakland team that hasnt made the playoffs since 2002 in a tie for first place in the AFC West with Denver.Its nice, but the road still goes through Denver, Carr said. They are Super Bowl champs, division champs. I will always pay respect to them because thats what theyve earned. We have earned absolutely nothing yet.The Chargers know just as well how small the difference can be from winning and losing -- only they seem to always be at the wrong end.San Diego had already lost three games it led at the two-minute warning, blowing a 21-point lead to Kansas City and a 13-point fourth-quarter advantage last week versus New Orleans.Then came the latest loss that was sealed when Drew Kaser couldnt hold the snap on a 36-yard field goal attempt that could have tied the game.Just when you think youve seen it all, something like that happens, coach Mike McCoy said.Here are some other takeaways from the game:BOSAS DEBUT: Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa made an impressive debut after missing training camp during a nasty contract dispute and sitting out the first four games with a hamstring injury. He came in on the second drive and had a sack and a tackle for loss in the first half. He added a second sack in the fourth quarter.It felt pretty natural, Bosa said. Its nice to get the butterflies out because I was pretty nervous coming into this game.VALUABLE FILL-IN: The Raiders signed Perry Riley Jr. on Tuesday and put the former Washington linebacker right into the mix. With Malcolm Smith hindered by a quadriceps injury, Riley got the start. He forced a fumble by Antonio Gates on the opening drive and finished with seven tackles.I knew when we got him what he was going to bring to the table, linebacker Bruce Irvin said. Tough, hard-nosed competitive guy who makes plays. He showed that on the first possession.ROUGH DAY: Kaser had tough day even before the botched hold. He punted just once and shanked that attempt for just 16 yards. Oakland took over on the 32 and drove for a TD that made it 34-31.COOPER SCORES: Raiders receiver Amari Cooper hadnt scored a touchdown in four games before breaking through against the Chargers. He scored on a 64-yard pass from Carr in the third quarter and added a 2-point conversion after Crabtrees TD. Cooper also nearly had three more scores, but couldnt get both feet down inbounds on two throws into the end zone and was unable to re-establish himself after being interfered with on a third play.First one is always the hardest, no matter what it is, Carr said. Im just happy for him because he works his tail off.DIVISION SHOWDOWNS: Both teams remain in the division next week with the Chargers hosting the Broncos on Thursday night and the Raiders hosting Kansas City on Sunday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Mark Trumbo Jersey .

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Jarvis Landry apologized for his block that injured Aaron Williams?on Sunday. Landry said he wished he could take it back and offered little defense when asked if the hit was dirty.Call it what you want, Landry said. Its football.The NFL is certain to look at the play closely. Officials flagged the Miami Dolphins receiver Sunday for unnecessary roughness, and some of Williams Buffalo Bills teammates thought the block was worse than that.Definitely a cheap hit, cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman said.Williams missed the second half with a head and neck injury, and he went to a hospital for an MRI before flying back to Buffalo with the team. The veteran safety missed most of last season because of a neck injury that required surgery and threatened his career.On Sunday, he was reinjured on a running play in which Landry led with his left shoulder, launched into Williams and hit him head high. Williams was flattened and then squirmed in pain. He remained on his back before he slowly rose and was led to the locker room.As Williams woozily walked off the field, Landry approached him.I apologized, Landry said. I just told him to get better. You never want to see that happen to anybody. ... If I could take that hit back, I would. Its a guys livelihood.Bills coach Rex Ryan said he didnt see the block.I hope it wasnt cheap, Ryaan said. Matt Wieters Jersey. I know Landry. I have a ton of respect for that kid. I wouldnt think hed do that. I hope that wasnt the case.Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander expressed a similar sentiment.I dont know if it was legal or not, but I know he is out there just trying to play physical, Alexander said. I dont know him to be a dirty player, but you dont like to see those types of hits, especially losing that type of caliber of player for our defense. It definitely hurts us. The NFL will look at it and determine whether or not it was a legal hit.Bills center Eric Wood said he felt like the hit warranted a fine.I didnt see it. I heard about it, and I thought thats garbage, he said, according to The Buffalo News. Who knows if he knows hes had prior neck injuries, but well see if he gets fined more for that than the guys dancing.Landry had an eventful day. He made five catches for 78 yards and caught a 2-point conversion pass during Miamis comeback for a 28-25 victory.Before the hit on Williams, Landry was flagged for taunting. He said he drew that penalty because he spun the ball after a reception in front of the Bills bench.I didnt know that was a penalty, he said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

MORGANTOWN, W. Cheap Jerseys Store .Va. -- It took nine games for West Virginias Daxter Miles Jr. to start to find a rhythm.Miles scored a season-high 20 points and the 15th-ranked Mountaineers overcame an early lull to beat VMI 90-55 on Saturday and give coach Bob Huggins his 799th career win.Miles missed the first three games with an unspecified illness and was ejected for throwing an elbow in the first half of a close win over Virginia last Saturday. The lack of court time set him back on a team where a dozen players are getting extensive minutes.Against VMI, the junior went 6 of 9 from the field, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range.It feels good, Miles said. I just had to get back into the basic of things, and just whatever it takes me to do. Did I feel like it was my time? No. Everybody has roles and we all kind of know what each other likes to do.West Virginia (8-1) followed up a 53-point win over Western Carolina on Wednesday night with a lackluster first half to finish its final exams week.VMI (1-7) accomplished what no other mid-major opponent has done in the first half this season -- handle West Virginias full-court pressure defense and keep up in scoring for a while.The Keydets lost by 18 points at home to Gardner-Webb in their last game but were scrappy out of the gate against the often-substituting Mountaineers.After falling behind by 16, the Keydets were within 22-17 before Miles made two 3-pointers, and Elijah Macons free throw with 4 minutes left until halftime put the Mountaineers ahead by double digits for good, 32-22.I thought we competed, especially for the first 25 minutes, VMI coach Dan Earl said. I give West Virginia a ton of credit. They come at you for 40 minutes. They wore us down a little bit.Esa Ahmad added 12 points and Brandon Watkins had a season-high 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for West Virginia.QJ Peterson scored 17 points for VMI, which was limited to three field goals over the final 12 minutes of the game.BIG PICTUREVMI: The Keydets might win more games if they match the intensity that they had midway through the first half, when they went on an 11-0 run, including seven points by Peterson, who led West Virginias Hedgesville High School to a state championship in 2012.West Virginia: The Mountaineers lead the nation in forced turnovers with 26.5 per game, including at least 34 turnovers in two of their last three games. Two years ago VMI committed 36 against them. But the defensive effort wasnt there from start-to-finish Saturday for West Virginia, which forced 22.Twenty-two forced turnovers to most people is good, Huggins said. And were looking at it like we shouldve had some more.ADRIAN SLUMPINGThe Mountaineers havent gotten much production lately out of Nathan Adrian, who no longer is the teams top scorer after getting two points each against Western Carolina and VMI.POLL IMPLICATIONSWest Virginia should move up in the AP poll after No. 12 Saint Marys and No. 13 Xavier lost earlier in the week.CHARITY CLANKWest Virginia isnt going to win many games at the free throw line. The Mountaineers are shooting 66 percent from the line this season and went 26 of 42 (62 percent) on Saturday. They fared better from 3-point range, going 10 of 19.UP NEXTVMI: Hosts Charleston Southern on Tuesday.West Virginia: Can give Huggins his 800th win when it hosts Missouri-Kansas City next Saturday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
