JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Baker Mayfield Jersey . -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has quite a streak going against AFC South rival Houston.Bortles has thrown a Pick-6 in three consecutive games against the Texans, tying an NFL record set by Peyton Manning.Ive got to be a better tackler, Bortles joked Wednesday.Or a better passer.Bortles has had 11 of his 50 interceptions returned for touchdowns during his three NFL seasons, a statistic that made headlines two weeks ago when his Pick-6 total surpassed his career wins (10).The Texans (7-6), who host the Jaguars (2-11) on Sunday, have been the biggest beneficiaries.Kareem Jackson returned a pick 42 yards for a touchdown in Houstons 24-21 victory in Jacksonville last month. Jackson also brought one back 27 yards for a score in Houstons 30-6 win last January. And Andre Hal started the streak by taking a 31-yarder the distance in Houstons 31-20 victory in Jacksonville in October 2015.Two of them for sure have been kind of long, out-routes to the field that were either late or I should have just gotten off of and gone to the next progression, Bortles said. I remember the last two. There was one last year on a slant that he housed at Houston and then obviously the one earlier this year are the two I remember for sure.They probably run together. After all, Bortles already has three interceptions returned for touchdowns this season. Those came in Jacksonvilles last five games.Another one Sunday in Houston and Bortles would become the first player in NFL history to throw four Pick-6s against the same team in four straight games. Manning had three returned for scores in three consecutive games against San Diego (2010-12).Thats something Ill try not to do, Bortles said. I think they do a good job. Their corners kind of jump at stuff, kind of recognizing routes and being aggressive, so I think its on me to kind of make better decisions.Bortles has completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 3,187 yards this season, with 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. His failure to match or improve on last years numbers -- he ranked second in the league with 35 TD passes -- is a big reason Jacksonville has lost eight consecutive games and fallen well short of preseason expectations.Still, the Jaguars have had chances.They have had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter in five of the last six games. They had 11 possessions in those situations, delivering six punts, three turnovers on downs, an interception and a fumble.Regardless of the losing streak and the changes that are surely coming after the season, Bortles believes theres something to be gained by playing well in the final three games -- all against division teams.One of them is going to go play in the playoffs, Bortles said. Every team wants to own the division theyre in. So thats definitely still our goal and we got a chance to go play these three guys. I dont think spoiler is the right word to use. I think you want to more so get the chance to say, `How are we against one of these playoff teams and stack up?You really dont want to talk about it or think about it, but lets build something going into the offseason for next year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Browns Jerseys Online . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. Authentic Browns Jerseys .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. http://www.cheapbrownsjerseys.net/austin-corbett-womens-jersey/ .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. TROON, Scotland -- Henrik Stenson kept hitting the best shots of his life, one after another, because there was no other way to beat Phil Mickelson in an Open showdown that ranked among the best in golf.Stenson shot an 8-under 63 on Sunday to finish the tournament at 20-under and claim his first major championship. He won Sundays matchup with Mickelson by 2 strokes and the Claret Jug by 3 over the American.Stensons final stroke of this major masterpiece was a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at Royal Troon that tumbled into the cup on the final turn. His 63 matched Johnny Miller for the lowest closing round by a major champion.I didnt know until they told me in the recorders hut, Stenson said when asked if he knew that last putt was for 63.Both Stenson and Mickelson played stellar golf, combining for an eagle, 14 birdies and two bogeys in the final pairing.Thank you very much for a great fight, Stenson told Mickelson as he accepted the Claret Jug.Stenson ended his winners speech on the 18th green by dedicating the victory to a close friend who died of cancer the day before The Open started.I feel like he has been with me all week. Mike, this one is for you, said an emotional Stenson as he raised the Claret Jug one more time and kissed it.Mike Gerbich was a pal of the Stenson and his wife Emma when they lived in Dubai. Gerbich and Henrik Stenson used to play golf together.I know hes hurting inside, Stensons caddie Gareth Lord said. Its a perfect way to say thanks.Stenson delivered a crushing blow to Mickelsons chances of capturing a sixth major championship by making a 50-foot birdie putt from off the green at No. 15 that gave him a 2-shot lead with three to play. It was the first time all day the final group had been separated by more than 1 stroke.The 40-year-old Stenson started walking when the putt was halfway there, stopping to pump his fist, rare emotion for the Swede with ice-blue eyes.Mickelson narrowly missed an eagle putt on the 16th hole, and Stenson kept his 2-shot lead with an up-and-down for birdie from the deep rough.I knew he wasnt going to back down at any point, and in a way that makes it easier for myself, Stenson said. I knew I had to keep on pushing, keep on giving myself birdie chances. He wasnt going to give it to me, so I had to pull away. Damion Ratley Jersey. Im just delighted I managed to do that with a couple of birdies at the right time.Mickelson led only once, a two-shot swing on the opening hole. They were tied with five holes to play until Stenson made an 18-foot birdie on the par-3 14th and then buried Lefty with a putt that defined his moment as a major champion.J.B. Holmes finished third. He was 14 shots behind.Those guys are playing a different golf course than everyone else, Holmes said.Stensons previous best finish in a major was a tie for second at the 2013 Open at Muirfield, which Mickelson won for his most recent major victory.He gave Sweden a long-awaited major in mens golf, 19 years after Jesper Parnevik lost a 54-hole lead at Royal Troon. Stenson said Parnevik sent him a message that said, Go out and finish what I didnt manage to finish.Im really proud to have done that, and its going to be massive for golf in Sweden with this win, Stenson said.Stensons total of 264 set a record for lowest score at a major. Stenson eclipsed the Open mark of 267 set by Greg Norman at Royal St. Georges in 1993 and the overall mark of 265 by David Toms at the 2001 PGA Championship. Stenson also tied Jason Days record for lowest score under par set last year at the PGA Championship.Its disappointing to come in second, but Im happy for Henrik, Mickelson said. Ive always thought that he is one of the best ball strikers in the game and that major championships are perfectly suited for him. I knew that he would ultimately come through and win. Im happy that he did. Im disappointed that it was at my expense.For Mickelson, its an 11th runner-up finish at a major in his career. Only Jack Nicklaus, with 19, has more second-place results.Its probably the best Ive played and not won, Mickelson said. Thats probably why its disappointing in that I dont have a point where I can look back and say, I should have done that or Had I only done this. I played a bogey-free round of 65 on the final round of a major. Usually thats good enough to do it. And I got beat. I got beat by 10 birdies.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
