JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Ryan Kent Liverpool Jersey . -- The Jaguars?fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson on Saturday, one day after head coach Gus Bradley said he didnt anticipate any staff changes.Quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett will take over playcalling duties. He previously served as the offensive coordinator with Buffalo in 2013-14 under head coach Doug Marrone, who is now the Jaguars offensive line coach.Greg was a tremendous asset and always put all of his effort in doing everything he can to help in his players improvement, Bradley said in a statement. He did some great things with our offense over the past two seasons, and for that, we are very appreciative.After a thorough evaluation, I came to the conclusion that with the direction that our offense was headed, it was best to make a change moving forward.Olson was hired in January 2015, and his first season with the Jaguars was a success. The Jaguars ranked 18th in total offense, and quarterback Blake Bortles set franchise records in passing yards (4,428) and passing touchdowns (35). The offense has struggled this season, however, and Bortles has looked the way he did as a rookie in 2014.The Jaguars are 31st in the NFL in rushing, last in third-down conversions, 25th in total offense and 13th in pass offense. Bortles has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,904 yards and 12 touchdowns with nine interceptions, but he has compiled most of those stats while playing with double-digit deficits. He has thrown seven touchdown passes when the Jaguars have been trailing by 10 or more points.The offense hit a low point in Thursdays 36-22 loss at Tennessee, gaining only 60 yards and trailing 27-0 in the first half.Hackett will be Bortles third coordinator in three years.Nathaniel has a previous history as a play-caller in Buffalo and will bring energy and knowledge to the offensive meeting room, Bradley said in a statement. He has built a great relationship with the offensive players and staff over the past two seasons.Bradley hired Olson to replace Jedd Fisch, whom Bradley fired after two seasons.?Bradley and Olson previously worked together on the Buccaneers staff in 2008.We all felt good about the offense coming out of preseason, Olson told ESPN. Our inability to find an identity in the run game once the season started hurt the entire offenses ability to improve. ... I wish I was given more time but thats the nature of this profession.?Olson spent the 2013-14 season as the offensive coordinator for the?Raiders after a one-year stint as the assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach in Jacksonville under then-coach Mike Mularkey.Olson also served as the offensive coordinator in Detroit (2004-05), St. Louis (2006-07) and in Tampa Bay (2009-11). Alberto Moreno Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium.

A below-par Djokovic informed the umpire of his decision after Lopez took the opening set 6-3 - but the world No 1 was clearly struggling with an eye condition and could not continue.Lopez broke in the opening game of the match and Djokovic was forced to see the trainer after three games. Lopez held onto his advantage before a second break in the ninth game gave the Spaniard the first set, before Djokovics dramatic exit. The Serb, a four-time champion in Dubai, had recorded the 700th win of his career earlier in the week but having chalked up 14 victories already this season, he was forced to pull out of the event.Lopez is through to face Cyprus Marcos Baghdatis, who was a surprise 7-5 6-0 winner over Spanish fourth seed Roberto Bautista Agut earlier in the day.Earlier, Stan Wawrinka moved into a highly-anticipated semi-final against Nick Kyrgios with a comfortable 7-5 6-1 victory over Philipp Kohlschreiber.The clash between Wawrinka and Kyrgios on Friday will be the first contest between the pair since their infamous match in Montreal last August. Stan Wawrinka is through to a semi-final with Nick Kyrgios Against Kohlschreiber, Wawrinkas three breaks proved enough to edge a topsy-turvy opening set that saw five dropped service games. The Swiss aace and second seed flew into a 2-0 lead, only for Kohlschreiber to bounce back with the next two before Wawrinka re-established his two-game lead to seize the initiative. Brad Jones Jersey. However, his German opponent fought back again to level matters before Wawrinkas crucial break in the 12th game of the match saw him clinch the opening set.A more straightforward second set saw Wawrinka take control with his backhand beginning to find its range and he opened up a 4-1 advantage before a further break gave him a four-game cushion, which he rubber-stamped by winning five successive points from 0-40 down to hold serve and wrap up the match.You can follow all the action from the Dubai Championships semi-finals on Friday, live on Sky Sports 3 from 1pm on Friday.

HOOVER, Ala. Marco Sabbatani Team Italy Jersey . -- The trajectory of Kevin Sumlins tenure at Texas A&M has not been going in the right direction.The fifth-year coach hopes a transfer quarterback and some talented defensive linemen can get the Aggies back into the conversation as a serious threat in the Southeastern Conference.I like where we are, Sumlin said Tuesday at SEC Media Days. I like the chemistry of this football team. I like where the locker room is. I like where their mind is.Senior Trevor Knight was named the teams starting quarterback in the spring after coming to Texas A&M as a graduate transfer just a few months before. Knight previously played at Oklahoma, where he started 15 games over three seasons and threw for more than 3,000 career yards.The 6-foot-1 Knight was needed after Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray both transferred during a tumultuous stretch in December. Hes thrilled to have another chance at leading a team after an up-and-down career with the Sooners.Its been a leap of faith in a lot of ways, but looking back on it, it has been perfect, Knight said. I did get to step in and the culture at A&M, specifically the team, wrapped their arms around me and let me know that I was a part of the family.Knight should have plenty of playmakers around him: Sophomore receiver Christian Kirk was the 2015 SEC Freshman of the Year after catching 80 passes for 1,009 yards and seven touchdowns, and Josh Reynolds (51 catches, 907 yards, five TDs) and Ricky Seals-Jones (45 catches, 560 yards, four TDs) also return.Offense hasnt usually been a problem during Sumlins time in College Station, and the Aggies put up enough points last year to go 8-5 overall. Instead, its the defense that is a big reason they have an 11-13 SEC record over the past three seasons.Sumlin hopes that will change this year because Texas A&M has two of the leagues best pass rushers in junior Myles Garrett and senior Daeshon Hall.The 6-foot-5, 262-pound Garrett led the SEC with 12 1/2 sacks, 19 1/2 tackles for a loss and five forced fumbles. Sumlin said one of the best things about Garrett is hes a rarity in college football: a low-maintenance star.All he wants is maybe his headphones and to know what time practice is, when to go to class, when meetings are and when game time is and wheres the food, Sumlin said.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP-----AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Josh Naylor Team Canada Jersey .

Miki Agrawal is passionate about periods. Brad Jones Liverpool Jersey .?In fact, shes the co-founder of THINX -- a company, which among other things, develops underwear that absorbs menstrual blood without the additional use of tampons, pads or a cup.?So, when Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui made headlines for discussing her time of the month at the Rio Olympics, we knew she would be the best person to dissect the culture-shifting moment.Here, the former semi-pro soccer player and serial entrepreneur discusses playing sports while on your period, disrupting the feminine hygiene market and removing the social stigma that surrounds menstruation. This interview has been edited for length.espnW: Bronze medalist Fu Yuanhui made headlines for telling the world she was on her period during the Olympic games. What were your initial thoughts and reactions?Miki Agrawal: It was amazing. Her candor liberated so many women. In particular, those in Asian countries [where its often] taboo to talk about periods. The fact that she was so open and without shame was empowering and absolutely worth being a headline.espnW: As a former semi-professional athlete, has your period ever impacted your performance? Agrawal: In my past life, I was a [competitive soccer player for the New York Magic], and all three of my ACL tears happened during menstruation. Your ligaments are far more brittle and malleable when youre on your period. However, there isnt much research on the connection between that time of the month and the common injury. But there should be. So, yes, my period has definitely impacted my performance.espnW: What inspired you to create THINX? Agrawal: I was frustrated with the offerings in the marketplace. Think about how many pairs of underwear youve ruined while on your period? And what about your sheets, clothes and everything else? [Women] are spending all this time cleaning up, or putting sweaters around our waists. Weve had the same options for the for the last 50-plus years. The tampon was invented in 1931 by [Dr. Earle Haas], a man. The last real innovation was adding a strip underneath the pad to stop it from moving around, which [Stayfree] created in 1969. Now, the menstrual cup is here, but it hasnt been popularized globally. My overall goal and purpose is to make the experience of getting your period easier.espnW: How does your patented underwear work? Agrawal: It took three to four years to develop this product. This is the first real [menstruation] product for the mass market developed by women and for women. My partners and I wanted the consumer to feel like they were wearing regular underwear; not anything bulky and uncomfortable. When you bleed into [the underwear], its innermost layer wicks away moisture. So, youre not sitting in a pool of blood, but rather a regular pair of panties that remain dry. They are also antimicrobial and breathable. The whole system of layers really works like magic, but they look like regular underwear and are able to absorb about two tampons worth of blood.espnW: Youve also created a sports variation, which specifically caters to active women. What are the key differences with this design?Agrawal: They dont feature lace trim, and have comfort-fit leg with a cotton interior. When youre exercising, your body needs more room to breathe, and we understand that. Now, women can keep their heads in the game.espnW: Please discuss The Week, your micro-documentary that hopes to remove the stigma from menstruation. Howd you get notable women like Joy Bryant, Jackie Tohn, Sophia Bush and others to discuss their periods in such a public manner? Agrawal: They are all very vocal feminists. If you enter a conversation with confidence, it basically gives others permission to do the same. If Im coming to talk about that time of the month and Im embarrassed about, then youll react that way. If I speak to you in a confident manner, then youll be confident as well. It has really helped women discuss menstruation publicly.espnW: THINX has a donation for purchase (one-to-one) partnership with AFRIpads. Please discuss the program.Agrawal: I travel often, and Ive seen first-hand what women in developing countries go through while on their periods. Could you imagine bleeding on to your bed -- in a hut, with no feminine hygiene products around, and often times very little underwear? I cant.So, I scoured planet earth to find the right partners and hopefully make a difference. Luckily, we found AFRIpads, which is based in Uganda, and they make washable and reusable cloth pads at a reasonable price. The product costs between $2 and $5 dollars for the whole year, and come in three or five pad kits. [The pads] dry quickly in the sun, are affordable, and help develop the local economy. Weve helped AFRIpads grow from 25 to 175 employees. Its been amazing thing to witness. Marko Grujic Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period.

MONTREAL -- The Carolina Hurricanes are coming in hot. Fernando Torres Atletico Madrid Jersey .After a first month of the season that featured more lows than highs, the Hurricanes ride a five-game winning streak into Thursday nights contest against the Montreal Canadiens. Its their most successful stretch since December 31, 2013 to January 9, 2014.Better contributions throughout the lineup, Carolina coach Bill Peters said after his teams practice in Montreal on Wednesday afternoon. Before, we had one or two lines going; now weve got all four going. Were playing the game the right way, were playing hard, unselfishly and for each other, and weve been receiving good goaltending, and thats a recipe for success.Goaltender Cam Ward is the key to the Hurricanes success, enjoying a strong November between the pipes. The veteran netminder is 6-1-2 this month, allowing 14 goals and recording a 1.53 goals-against average and .946 save percentage. Its a notable drop from his October stats, when he won once in five starts while averaging 3.64 goals-against and recording an .869 save percentage.Outstanding. Hes been very good, Peters said of Ward. He was good early in the year, too. Weve tightened up defensively a little bit and that makes our goaltenders look better, whether its Eddie (Lack) or Cam in net. Theyre making some timely saves when weve needed them to.Its shown on the scoresheet, with Peters squad allowing a mere five goals against during their current streak.The Hurricanes and Canadiens face off for the second time in less than a week. The two met last Friday in Carolina, with the home side skating away with a 3-2 victory. Montreal dominated the first two periods and held a 1-0 lead in that contest but the Hurricanes pushed through with a strong third period, scoring three times in six minutes in the first half of the frame.Montreal is coming off a strong effort in a losing cause to Ottawa on Tuesday night. The Canadiens held three separate one-goal leads but defensive miscues and unlucky bounces handed the Canadiens their fourth loss in their past five games since a 13-1-1 start.The top line of left wing Paul Byron, center Alex Galchenyuk, and right wing Alexander Radulov has been the catalyst of Montreals offense. Galchenyuk and Radulov each scored again versus the Senators, giving the trio eight goals in six games as a unit.Yeah, we scored two goals and got some chances but its not all about scoring goals, said Radulov, who is tied for second on the team with 17 points and tied for second in assists with Galchenyuk (13). We got that second goal and were up 2-1 ... but then we come back on the ice and give them a 2-on-1 break, and tie the game.Thats something we have to work on -- not just our line but the whole team. When we score a goal we know that the opponent is going to come hard to try to get that back so we have to be ready.Montreals power play has been finding the back of the net over the last two weeks, converting at least once in five of its past six games. It struck twice against Ottawa on Tuesday but left others on the table with seven opportunities at their disposal. The Canadiens are in tough against the Hurricanes, who lead the NHL and are 22-for-22 in their last 10 games.The Canadiens will be without defenseman Nathan Beaulieu, who will miss at least one game after taking a shot to the throat/neck Tuesday night. The team called up Mark Barberio from the AHLs St. Johns IceCaps while sending blueliner Joel Hanley back down. Sime Vrsaljko Jersey . Hamelin, who triumphed in the 500 on Saturday, edged out Victor An of Russia by 0.021 seconds to maintain his lead in the World Cup standings. Russias Vladimir Grigorev was third. In the relay, Canada took control six laps from the finish line to beat Russia and the Netherlands. Guilherme Siqueira Atletico Madrid Jersey . -- Charlie Graham stopped 67 shots as the Belleville Bulls edged the visiting Guelph Storm 6-5 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.atleticomadridauthority.com/ .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans. CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears hit the halfway point of the season and their bye week feeling at least a little better about themselves.After all, they just beat the first-place team in their division. Then again, thats about the only positive for them so far.After stumbling through their first seven games, the Bears stunned the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings 20-10 on Monday night.We proved that last night, that when we come with our `A game we can beat anybody, running back Jordan Howard said Tuesday.The Bears (2-6) certainly had it going for them against the Vikings, with Howard, Jay Cutler and the defense all coming up big. Howard, a fifth-round draft pick, ran for a career-high 153 yards and a touchdown. Cutler threw for 252 yards and a TD after missing five games with a thumb injury, and the defense sacked Sam Bradford five times.I think it was important to kind of have a game like we had last night to build confidence against a very worthy opponent, coach John Fox said. Its really the first time I can remember all season that weve put 60 minutes of three-level good performance. I think that gives you confidence. Something goods got to happen to have confidence and hopefully we can build on that coming off our bye.Yes, it was a good night all around, the kind they thought would happen on a more regular basis. Instead, theyve been hit hard by injuries and bogged down by poor play. And instead of making a jump in Foxs second season, they have been heading in the wrong direction coming off a six-win season.Whether they can build on this is to be determined. But the upcoming schedule at least appears manageable, with only one of the next five games against a team that currently has a winning record.They play at Tampa Bay (3-4) affter the break and then visit the New York Giants (4-3). Yannick Carrasco Jersey. This stretch also includes two games against .500 teams in Tennessee and Detroit and the lowly San Francisco 49ers, owners of the NFLs second-worst record at 1-6.The Bears have given their players a full week off after they delivered their most complete game of the season. The team hopes the down time will help several players, including nose tackle Eddie Goldman, return from injuries.Chicago has gotten a few back in recent weeks, most notably linebacker Pernell McPhee and Cutler. And on Monday night, the Bears took it to the Vikings in just about every area.Perhaps the biggest surprise was the way a short-handed offensive line handled the No. 1 defense. That group dominated from the start even though starting guards Kyle Long (triceps) and Josh Sitton (ankle) sat out with injuries.Cutler got the protection he needed and settled into a groove after a shaky start.Howard easily surpassed his previous high of 118 yards with the line blowing open holes for him. The fifth-round draft pick broke off a 69-yarder early in the game that was the longest run for Chicago in seven years.Throw in the first touchdown catch of the season for Alshon Jeffery plus the defense taking down Bradford, and it added up to a stunning win for a struggling team.Now, all the Bears have to do it build on it.Its supposed to continue to get better, linebacker Danny Trevathan said. We feel weve just kind of started. Were not satisfied with it. Were going to continue to work to get better.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL 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 ' ' '

Steve Sidwell scored a stunning 50-yard goal as Brighton beat Bristol City 2-0 at Ashton Gate in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday evening. Giacomo Bonaventura Italy Jersey . Jamie Murphy doubled the lead with a deflected effort as Chris Hughtons men won their fourth game in a row and made it four matches without conceding in a clash which will be remembered for the audacious strike by Sidwell. The result keeps the Seagulls in second place, four points behind Newcastle - who beat Cardiff 2-1 earlier in the day to maintain their lead at the top - and also means they are unbeaten in their last 10 league games. It was a frantic opening five minutes to the game, with Tammy Abraham posing the most danger with his pace and movement and the on-loan Chelsea star played a wonderful reverse pass into the path of Lee Tomlin, but he was unable to make the most of it and blasted wide. Brightons Steve Sidwell scored from the halfway line to opening the scoring against Bristol City Brighton eventually settled into the game, but it was still the Robins controlling possession, former Middlesbrough star Gary ONeil dictating proceedings in the middle of the park.But, when Korey Smith lost the ball just near the halfway line, Sidwell produced a moment of magic to put Brighton into a 13th-minute lead after winning back possession, he looked up and hit a left-footed strike past a stranded Richard ODonnell, who was well of his line for his first goal since April.The 33-year-old, formerly of Reading, Chelsea and Aston Villa, then ran to the sidelines with his team-mates to celebrate by holding up the shirt of the absent Anthony Knockaert, who was grieving following the death of his father.Despite their bright start, Bristol City were rocked by that goal and failed to recover sufficiently and several minutes later found themselves two-down courtesy of a Murphy strike. Bristol City manager Lee Johnson was critical of the way his side performed The Scotland winger - who was causing all sorts of problems on the wing - cut in from the left and after feigning to shoot, eventually did and found the bottom corner via a deflection to give Brighton complete control.Knowing they needed to improve, Bristol City came out, determined to reduce the deficit and get back into the game, but Hordur Magnusson wasted an opportunity when he headed right into the arms of David Stockdale. Down the other end, Brighton were still hoping to increase their own advantage and Glenn Murray - who was leading the line well - turned superbly before finding Jiri Skalak, who could only hit a stinging drive to warm the palms of ODonnell.Veteran forward Aaron Wilbraham came on to offer some much needed support to Abraham and there was a moment of worry for Bristol City, when ONeil went down momentarily after taking a high boot to the jaw. Brighton manager Chris Hughton praised the dominant nature of his sides victory The introduction of Wilbraham was giving the Brighton defence something different to think about and he should have been awarded a penalty after he was clearly fouled by defender Shane Duffy, but the referee was not interested, despite the strikers protests.Substitute Tomer Hemed ignored the calls of his colleagues and blasted one final effort high into the stands, but it did not matter as Brighton left with the victory and Bristol City slipped out of the play-off places. Brighton vs A Villa November 18, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Following the match, Brighton boss Hughton told Sky Sports that Sidwells strike had settled his sides nerves.It was one of those strikes, where as soon as he hit it, I knew it was in. It was a difficult one for the goalkeeper because it was unexpected and it was with his left foot.A wonderful opener for us and as I said, any nerves we might have had, it calmed us down.

Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chicago White Sox had the right reliever on the mound with the game tied in the eighth inning Saturday, especially when some miscommunication in the outfield allowed the Royals to put a runner on third base with one out. Jesse Crain calmly retired Salvador Perez on a popup and then struck out Lorenzo Cain to end the threat, his 29th straight scoreless appearance -- and one that kept Chicago in the game. "Luckily we had Jesse in there," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You make a mistake and you have a guy in there who can still get you out of it." It wound up being a decisive moment when Alejandro De Aza drove in Jordan Danks with a sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth, sending the White Sox to a 3-2 victory over Kansas City. "I always have the feeling out there that Im going to get through it no matter what," said Crain, who hasnt allowed a run since April 12. "Just make the best pitch you can." Addison Reed handled a perfect ninth for his 21st save. Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez provided the only runs for the slumbering Royals, who have dropped four straight since climbing back to .500. "The difference in the game was that we both had the same situation late -- had the winning run on third base -- and they executed and we didnt," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Crain (2-1) may have made the clutch pitches, but it took a bunch of critical at-bats for the White Sox to escape with their second straight win in the three-game series. Dayan Viciedo led off the ninth with a single off Aaron Crow (3-3), and Jeff Keppinger drew a walk to reach base for the fourth time. Yost brought in closer Greg Holland, and he got pinch-hitter Gordon Beckham to fly out to centre field. That allowed Danks, who was pinch-running for Viciedo, to reach third base. De Aza laid off a couple of pitches out of the strike zone, and then ripped a fly ball to right field that was just deep enough to allow Danks to slide home ahead of the throw with the go-ahead run. It was the 25th one-run game the White Sox have played this season. "It seems like were always on the losing end of one-run games, so fundamentally to get a sac fly to get the winning run, its a good feeling,&qquot; Keppinger said. Marco Parolo Jersey. . "Hopefully we can build off it." The Royals struck first when Miguel Tejada, starting at second base for the ninth time in his 16-year career, hit a two-out single in the second inning. The 39-year-old then chugged all the way around on a double by Moustakas to give Kansas City the early lead. It was the first RBI for Moustakas since May 23. The White Sox threatened in the third when Keppinger singled and Tyler Flowers walked to start the inning. Alex Rios hit a ball down the right-field line that fell foul by just a couple of feet, and then he struck out looking to keep the White Sox off the scoreboard. At least until the fourth. Adam Dunn, who was hitting .186 coming into the game, walked leading off the inning. Paul Konerko followed with a single up the middle, and Conor Gillaspies slow roller up the middle was enough to drive in Dunn with the tying run. Wade Davis nearly escaped the inning when he got Viciedo to ground into a double play, but Keppinger delivered a single to right that gave the White Sox a 2-1 lead. Kansas City was poised for a big sixth inning, tying the game on a single by Perez and putting runners on first and second with one out. But reliever Matt Lindstrom entered the game and got Cain to ground into a double play on his first pitch to end the threat. "Its baseball, man. Its a hard game," Moustakas said. "Sometimes you get the job done, sometimes you dont get it done, and thats just kind of how it turns out." White Sox starter Jose Quintana wound up going 5 1-3 innings, while Davis made it through seven innings on the warm afternoon. He also gave up two runs for the Royals. "Tough loss," Davis said, "having a tie game in the ninth inning." NOTES: The Royals (34-38) dropped to 11-33 when scoring three runs or fewer. ... Keppinger started at 2B in place of Beckham and finished 3 for 3. ... The White Sox secured their first series win since May 24-26 at Miami. ... The Royals activated OF Jarrod Dyson (right high ankle sprain) from the DL and optioned 2B Chris Getz to Triple-A Omaha. ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Adrianna Franch Jersey . -- The Kansas City Chiefs felt on top of the world a week ago, when they were coming off a narrow win at Carolina -- mostly because they were suddenly on top of the AFC West.They sure didnt feel like that Sunday.Their offense continued to fizzle in the red zone, where Alex Smith threw a crucial interception in the fourth quarter. Their defense couldnt get Tampa Bay off the field on third downs, when Jameis Winston was able to repeatedly find Mike Evans and the rest of his wide receivers for first downs.The result was a 19-17 setback that changes the complexion of the Chiefs entire season.No longer are they fighting for the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Now, theyre fighting to make the playoffs.Its just one game. We have to figure out what went wrong and move forward, Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz said, trying to put things in perspective. It is an aberration, hopefully. Its not the type of thing a really top-tier team would let happen to them.Yet it happened. And it happened on both sides of the ball.So far this season, the Chiefs (7-3) have been able to bail out their defense by converting crucial plays on offense, while their defense has stood tall when the offense has been scuffling.When both sides went haywire Sunday, the result was obvious: a loss.We have to execute the plays. Thats the cause. We stopped ourselves, said running back Spencer Ware, held to 69 yards rushing in another dismal effort. We know what we need to fix and were going to continue to work on it as a team.That may be the biggest thing going for Kansas City as it tries to bounce back from its first loss since Oct. 2. There was no finger-pointing in an eerily quiet locker room, only resolve to fix the issues that have become the Chiefs biggest concern in the waning weeks of the regular season.On offense, its the failure to score inside the opponents 20-yard line.Kansas City came up empty on three trips two weeks ago at Carolina, and was converting touchdowns at a 40 percent clip heading into Sundays game against Tampa Bay. The Chiefs settled for a chip-shot field goal by Cairo Santos on their first trip, then Alex Smith threw an interception that spoiled their comeback.It also set up Tampa Bays touchdown march that essentially sealed the victory.Its hard when you get that far down there. The back line becomes another defender for them, Schwartz said. We need to be able to stick to it and be able to execute the plays.The interception was on a play designed to be a quick pass to a slanting wide receiver, but Tampa Bay safety Chris Conte never bit on it. He was there when Smith released the pass, and coach Andy Reid said later the fault for the call rested on his shoulders.We were rolling there at that point, Smith said. Had a good run on first down and were sitting there at second-and-goal, and you just cant have it. You cant throw it. Youve got to protect the play.On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs need to figure out ways to force fourth downs. The Buccaneers were 11 of 16 on third down, none bigger than Winstons pass to Evans on third-and-3 just before the two-minute warning. It not only gave them a fresh set of downs, but allowed them to run off all but the final 8 seconds of the clock.We didnt do a good job rushing the quarterback, said Chiefs pass rusher Justin Houston, who made his season debut after ACL surgery in February. He had plenty of time in the pocket. We didnt get in the pocket at all, no penetration. We have to do better.It didnt help that their secondary was missing top cornerback Marcus Peters, who has been dealing with a hip pointer. Peters hoped to play against Tampa Bay but the pain was too much.Now, the Chiefs hope hell be back for a Sunday night showdown against AFC West rival Denver.They need to have their other issues fixed, too.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL. Emily Sonnett Jersey . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Ali Krieger Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup.
