Dein erstes Forum » Dean on 134, and although Dean was bowled

Now this is more like it.The Silver and Black against the Orange Crush for the division lead. Well, at least the current Raiders and Broncos going head to head for first place in the AFC West.One of pro sports most storied, intense (yeah, you can say dirty) rivalries resumes Sunday in Oakland. Both teams are 6-2, a half-game ahead of Kansas City in the division.Even better, this spicy matchup takes place in prime time, and for once the Raiders , who have not made the playoffs since losing the Super Bowl in early 2003, seem ready.We put ourselves on display each week, says coach Jack Del Rio, a front-runner for Coach of the Year honors halfway through the schedule.I get that itll be more hyped this week, but it wont be any different in terms of preparing for it and then going out and playing good football. I think what we recognize as an organization is as you become relevant, as you play good football, youre going to have more of these opportunities.This is the natural progression in building a good football team. We should expect to be in these games. Were going to expect to win these games. Then were going to move forward and have more of these kinds of games.The Broncos know all about these kinds of games, making a habit of playing in them in the past five seasons. Led by Von Miller -- like Del Rio, a leading candidate for an award (Defensive Player of the Year) or two (MVP?) -- Denvers defense has been dynamic once more. It has the leagues best pass defense, and isnt exactly a sieve against the run.Star cornerback Chris Harris Jr. loves the idea of a high-profile Broncos vs. Raiders game.The thing is with the Raiders, when we go to the `Black Hole its never blowouts, Harris says. We never go there and run up the score on them. Its always tight games, so them being good now just raises the stakes another level of a championship game.The action began Thursday night, with Matt Ryan throwing for 344 yards and four touchdowns to help the Atlanta Falcons tighten their grip on first place in the NFC South with a 43-28 victory at Tampa Bay.Julio Jones had eight receptions for 111 yards and a TD for the Falcons (6-3). Tampa Bay was lost two straight to drop to 3-5.Off this week are Washington (4-3-1), Cincinnati (3-4-1), Houston (5-3), New England (7-1), Arizona (3-4-1) and Chicago (2-6).Pittsburgh (4-3) at Baltimore (3-4)Another terrific NFL rivalry, but one that has lost a bit of steam this season with both clubs struggling and banged-up. Even so, the winner here will be in first place.The big question for Pittsburgh, which actually leads the AFC North despite its mediocre record, is whether Ben Roethlisberger has recovered sufficiently from his left knee surgery of two weeks ago to play. Another mystery in the Steel City is whether the defense, ranked a disturbing 27th, can get stingy again.Baltimore comes off a bye after four straight defeats, but it generally has defended Antonio Brown well. Of course, the Ravens have a depleted secondary trying to deal with the 2015 All-Pro receiver.Dallas (6-1) at Cleveland (0-8)Although the Browns lead the all-time series 17-13, they havent beaten the Cowboys since 1994. Doing so Sunday is a long shot, although Cleveland manages to be competitive most every week while losing every week.Dallas last won seven in a row in 2007. Rookie QB Dak Prescott and RB Ezekiel Elliott have been the focal points, of course, but the defense is vastly improved.Cleveland QBs Josh McCown and Cody Kessler were listed as co-starters on the depth chart. Kessler is coming off a concussion. Maybe if coach Hue Jackson combined their attributes ...Philadelphia (4-3) at New York Giants (4-3)Victor Cruz missed a year and a half of his career after he tore the patellar tendon in his right knee at Philly in a 2014 game. The injury was so ugly that Cruz cried when it occurred.Hes been New Yorks third receiver this season, but just being back on the field again has been an achievement.Its a different circumstance, a different year, he says. But definitely, Id be lying if I didnt say it is in my mind.Both teams have been challenged offensively, and the loser drops into the NFC East cellar.Jacksonville (2-5) at Kansas City (5-2)The Jaguars fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson this week, with quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett taking over and charged with straightening out QB Blake Bortles and top receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson.KC was hit further by the injury bug in its win at Indianapolis, with star RB Jamaal Charles (knee) back on injured reserve and starting quarterback Alex Smith being held out with head issues. Nick Foles looked solid against the Colts in taking over for Smith.Chiefs coach Andy Reid has 177 wins, one behind Mike Shanahan for 12th in NFL history.Detroit (4-4) at Minnesota (5-2)One of the NFLs more lopsided rivalries; the Vikings lead 71-36-2 and have won 16 of their past 18 at home against the Lions. None, of course, was in the new stadium.Minnesota has issues, though. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner resigned this week in the wake of two successive losses in which the offense disappeared. Most at fault are a running game ranked 31st and an offensive line that has been, uh, rank lately.Detroit is like most of the league, very inconsistent. Matthew Stafford is having one of his best seasons: a 103.4 passer rating with 16 touchdowns and four picks.Tennessee (4-4) at San Diego (3-5)Big week on and off the field for the Chargers. This is their final game before Election Day, when San Diego voters will be asked to approve $1.15 billion in hotel occupancy taxes to help fund a $1.8 billion downtown stadium-convention center annex. The team still has the option to join the Rams in Los Angeles.Tennessee had lost nine in a row to San Diego before winning the previous meeting in 2013. The Titans find themselves in contention for the mediocre AFC South crown midway through the schedule.New York Jets (3-5) at Miami (3-4)With each of these also-rans coming off consecutive victories, look for the ground game to be decisive. Miamis Jay Ajayi has consecutive 200-yard rushing performances -- no one has had three in a row. His chore is more difficult this time because New York is allowing 3.3 yards per carry, third best in the NFL.If the Jets can protect the ball despite being tied for last in turnover differential at minus-8, they could get their fourth consecutive win over the Dolphins.Indianapolis (3-5) at Green Bay (4-3)What projected to be a cool showdown between Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers might have, well, cooled a bit. The Colts cant protect Luck, who has been sacked a whopping 31 times and has felt the sting on every one of them. And the Packers might be bringing Jim Taylor out of retirement considering the depletion in the running back group.But Rodgers loves playing AFC opponents at Lambeau Field. Hes averaging 312.4 yards per game with 15 TDs and no interceptions in the past five home games against the AFC.Buffalo (4-4) at Seattle (4-2-1), Monday nightWith both teams hurting in the running game -- Buffalo might rank second, but if it doesnt have star RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) the ground attack is mediocre -- this could come down to how effective QBs Russell Wilson and Tyrod Taylor can be. At least the Seahawks have seen Jimmy Graham emerging at tight end as he finally approaches full health.The Bills, making their first trip to Seattle in 12 years, have beaten the other three NFC West teams so far. They face a Seahawks team that is going for an 11th straight win on Monday night. The Seahawks have the highest win percentage (.733) in the history of Monday night games.Carolina (2-5) at Los Angeles (3-4)For the defending NFC champion Panthers to scare anybody this season, they must go on a winning streak. Their victory over Arizona last Sunday was a solid start.Protecting Cam Newton, who spoke with Commissioner Roger Goodell this week about big hits, is the main job for Carolina. Rams 2015 All-Pro DT Aaron Donald says they wont change how they play after Newtons concerns went public, noting, youve got to bring your big boy pads if youre going to tackle him.New Orleans (3-4) at San Francisco (1-6)The Saints have turned around their season and could climb closer to playoff contention with an eighth win in the past 10 meetings with San Francisco, which has dropped six straight. Drew Brees is having yet another spectacular passing season and needs four TD passes to join Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only players with 450 in NFL history.San Francisco must keep the ball away from Brees, but it averages a league-low 4.9 yards per play. On the positive side -- yes, there is one -- the Niners have a league-low 31 penalties.---AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton and Sports Writer Josh Dubow contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Axel Tuanzebe Jersey . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. Sam Johnstone Jersey . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. http://www.jerseymanchesterunitedsoccer.com/womens-blank-manchester-united-jersey/ . During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula. Ashley Young Manchester United Jersey .C. United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft. Wayne Rooney Jersey . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. New South Wales 2 for 95 trail Victoria 6 for 510 dec (Handscomb 215, Dean 134, White 75*) by 415 runsScorecard Victoria batsman Peter Handscomb made his case for inclusion in Australias Test squad almost irresistible by raising 215 against New South Wales at the SCG. In front of selector Mark Waugh, and against Test captain Steven Smith and vice-captain David Warner, Handscomb scored the first double-century of his first-class career to deliver Victoria into a powerful position as they declared on 6 for 510.By the close of play, New South Wales had already lost both Warner and Smith in reply. On 11, Warner was caught at first slip off Scott Boland when he tried to glide the ball fine, and on 8 Smith flashed outside off stump and was caught at slip off Chris Tremain. Both men are certain starters for the Adelaide Test, but the manner of their dismissals was hardly ideal given Australias batting failures against South Africa.At stumps, New South Wales were 2 for 95, with opener Daniel Hughes on 42 and Kurtis Patterson on 28. Patterson is another potential contender for a Test call-up, but Handscommb has set the bar high for batsmen trying to impress the selectors.dddddddddddd He resumed on 110 alongside Travis Dean on 134, and although Dean was bowled by Doug Bollinger without adding a run, Handscomb was set for a long stay.Handscomb batted for 356 balls and nearly eight hours in compiling his 215, and became the first man since Brad Hodge in 2008-09 to score a Sheffield Shield double-century for Victoria. Since the start of last summer, Handscomb has scored 1147 Shield runs at 52.13 - more than any other player in the competition. He now appears a likely replacement for Adam Voges in the Adelaide Test squad.Eventually, Handscomb was dismissed when he advanced to the part-time legspin of Smith, missed, and was stumped by Peter Nevill. His team-mates Matthew Wade (6) and Glenn Maxwell (10) failed to enhance their Test hopes, but the in-form veteran Cameron White continued his prolific season by adding an unbeaten 75 batting at No.7, before the declaration came.
