made the day-night Test, with the final Championship match o

Oakland punter Marquette Kings quick thinking and fast feet helped the Raiders start out 4-0 on the road for the first time since 2000. It was a rare gem on a weekend when the NFLs special teams didnt live up to the moniker.Dan Quinns gut betrayed him in another Atlanta loss, and Ryan Fitzpatrick has gone from tossing interceptions to throwing darts at his coach, owner and GM.Kings was among the best calls in the NFLs Week 7 that featured Tony Dungy calling for Jeff Fisher to give No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff a chance to kick-start his career already.Put him in now, the Hall of Famer and NBC analyst said after watching Case Keenum throw three fourth-quarter interceptions in the Rams 17-10 loss to the Giants in London. Its obvious Case Keenum cannot take this team to the playoffs.Fisher doesnt want to hear it.Jareds going to play when we feel Jareds ready, Fisher said.To which Dungy said, I believe theyve got to get him ready.FADING FALCONS: When the Falcons won at Denver two weeks ago, Quinn said there was no comparison between this years team and last years. In 2015, the Falcons won their first five but finished 8-8. We are mentally tougher this time around, he said.Quinn showed too much faith in them in overtime Sunday.The Falcons (4-3) lost their second straight game when Quinn went for it on fourth-and-1 at the Atlanta 45-yard line and Devonta Freeman was stuffed by linebacker Denzel Perryman . That set up Josh Lambos 42-yard winning field goal in the Chargers 33-30 win.It was just instincts, Perryman said. On fourth-and-1, it was a no-brainer that they were going to run the ball.Another no-brainer? Burying the Chargers deep with a punt right there.It was a gut feeling that I went with and it didnt work, Quinn said. We can second-guess it. Thats easy to do but it was more of a mindset. I have such belief in the guys to go and get that half a yard that we needed.In Quinns defense, special teams had a tough time Sunday, starting with Jets rookie punter Lachlan Edwards letting the ball slip through his hands on New Yorks first possession, handing Baltimore a quick 2-yard touchdown.The Raiders were leading the Jaguars by 10 with 3:35 left when King went in to punt on fourth-and-24. It looked like he was going to get smothered by the Jaguars when the snap skittered along the grass and he scooped it up. King, however, tucked the ball and darted 27 yards down the right sideline for the clinching first down.We feel like were a good football team thats learning how to win games and recognizing theres still a lot of things we need to work on, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.His athletic punter isnt on his fix-it list.DREARY IN THE DESERT: Hours after 43-year-old kicker Adam Vinatieri sent his 43rd consecutive field goal attempt through the goal posts for Indianapolis, the Seahawks and Cardinals stumbled to a 6-6 tie. Arizonas Chandler Catanzaro clanked a 24-yard would-be winner off the left upright, and Seattles Stephen Hauschka hooked a 27-yarder with 7 seconds left in OT.I make that kick 999,999 times out of a million, Catanzaro said.Catanzaros miss came on third-and-6 after the Cardinals took a 5-yard delay-of-game penalty when they couldnt punch it in from inside the 1. Hauschka missed wide left on second-and-goal from the 10 with the clock ticking down.Sometimes bad luck oversteps good decisions.PRATFALL IN PITTSBURGH: The Steelers opted to try a 54-yard field goal on fourth-and-3 with about nine minutes left when trailing New England 27-16. Chris Boswell pushed it right and the Steelers never got close again.He made a similar kick a year ago in that same spot on the field when we tried him out. And the weather conditions were worse than they are tonight, coach Mike Tomlin said. We were down there, we had an opportunity to make it a one-score game. I took that chance.And the Steelers came away empty-handed for the second time after a takeaway in Patriots territory.THROWING DARTS: Fitzpatrick still believes in himself, even if the Jets decision makers dont. Just five days after being benched, the veteran quarterback came on in relief of an injured Geno Smith and helped lead the Jets on three scoring drives in a 24-16 comeback victory over the Ravens.The biggest thing in this game, in order to last, is to have belief in yourself, Fitzpatrick said. Because when the owner stops believing in you, the GM stops believing in you and the coaches stop believing in you, sometimes all you have is yourself.Yes, he added, he means he feels nobody believes in him anymore, not owner Woody Johnson, not GM Mike Maccagnan, not coach Todd Bowles.Yeah, when you get put on the bench, he said, I think thats the reason why.But with Smith now out with a knee injury, it looks like Fitz will be back behind center.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writers Dennis Waszak Jr. and Will Graves contributed.---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Wholesale Air Max 97 .J.

The chances of England hosting a floodlit Test have receded sharply with the acceptance that there will be no pink-ball cricket in the final round of the 2016 County Championship season.While the ECB was hopeful that Edgbaston could stage the first such Test in 2017 - the Test between England and West Indies in August had been identified as the most likely option - they were keen to thoroughly test all aspects of the initiative before committing themselves. In particular, they were keen to assess the deterioration of the pink ball in English conditions.Initial tests - Warwickshire hosted a Second XI Championship match against their Worcestershire counterparts between August 22-24 - suggested no issues with floodlights, but suggested that the balls deteriorated quite severely with players feeling it was almost impossible to gain swing, either conventional or reverse, after the first dozen or so overs.It was therefore decided to host another game in similar conditions - but hopefully at a higher standard - before a commitment was made the day-night Test, with the final Championship match of the season between Warwickshire and Lancashire identified as a possible option. But with both teams fighting to avoid relegation, it was decided it would inappropriate to conduct such tests.Attempts to use a Division Two game were thwarted when local planning issues ruled out the matches at Bristol and Leicester. It is also understoood that players were underwhelmed at the prospect of using a pink ball with which they have not have an opportunity to practice.dddddddddddd An attempt to persuade them to use a pink ball in normal playing hours and without the use of lights fell on deaf ears.With tickets for next summers Tests going on sale in the coming weeks and Neil Snowball, the Warwickshire CEO, having previously confirmed that there would be no change to playing regulations once they had, it now seems highly unlikely that a day-night will be played in England in 2017.And with India the visitors in high summer of 2018 and Australia in 2019, it seems equally unlikely that such a match will be scheduled in either of those seasons. The time difference in India would not be conducive to the change of playing hours, while there seems little need for any marketing gimmicks during an Ashes series. For the 2017 Test against West Indies, however, it might have proved advantageous to those attempting to sell tickets.ECB did consider just using the pink balls for one of the Division Two matches during normal playing times and not under lights, Snowball told ESPNcricinfo. But its not happening.Despite that, they still remain positive about day-night cricket in England, so we will continue to work together and see what happens. ' ' '
