West Bromwich Albion will soon become the latest English football club to be bought out by Chinese investors. Kendall Wright Jersey .The Premier League team said Friday that Yunyi Guokai (Shanghai) Sports Development Limited, headed by entrepreneur Lai Guochuan, will complete a takeover of the club, subject to approval by the league and English financial authorities.Lai oversaw the development of the landscaping company Palm, which started out as a plant nursery business and now develops eco-towns in China and is worth 1.8 million pounds ($2.36 million). He has purchased an 88 percent stake in the club owned by chairman Jeremy Peace, who is stepping down.West Brom said the financial terms of the deal are private and confidential between the parties. Peace, who has invited offers for investment since 2008, had reportedly valued West Brom at 150 million pounds ($200 million).In a statement, the 42-year-old Lai described himself as a lifelong football fan and said he was excited and privileged to become the new owner of West Brom, which has been in Englands top division since 2010.West Brom said Lai was drawn to the club by its history, community focus and dedicated fan base.My immediate priorities will be to maintain the clubs stable structure, respecting its well-run nature and its heritage, said Lai, who will remain based in China but promised to frequently attend matches at The Hawthorns. I have no intention of changing the clubs ethos.Lai joins a growing number of wealthy Chinese tycoons and companies making splashy investments in English football.Aston Villa, which was relegated from the Premier League last season for the first time, was taken over by Chinese businessman Xia Jiantong in June. Second-tier team Wolverhampton Wanderers was bought out by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International in July in a 100 percent takeover. And a Chinese firm bought a stake in Birmingham, another League Championship club.West Brom, Villa, Wolves and Birmingham are all clubs in central England.Manchester City also announced in December that China Media Capital Holdings and CITIC Capital were investing $400 million to buy 13 percent of the Premier League clubs umbrella organization.Lai said in a personal message to West Brom fans on the clubs website that China was entering a golden age for football.China has a massive football fan base, which has only been growing in the past years, he said. There is also a real commitment, strongly supported by the government, to develop football and its culture in China, and I am convinced that this transaction will serve to reinforce the love of football, while bringing West Bromwich Albion millions of new dedicated fans.Peace stands down after 14 years in the role. He will stay on in an advisory capacity for the coming season, which begins in a weeks time. He will be replaced as chairman by John Williams, who previously had the same role at the English club Blackburn.I believe this deal will enable Albion to build on the strong, sustainable foundations that have been the cornerstone of the clubs progress, Peace said.

Cris Carter Jersey .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. http://www.vikingsauthenticshop.com/ . Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents.WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Vasek Pospisil would have no trouble filling a scrapbook -- or an online photo album -- featuring his accomplishments this year. The Canadian tennis star has been piling up memories, but he still has a chance for more unforgettable moments between now and the end of September. Pospisil will compete in the Rogers Cup in Montreal next week as he continues to tune up his game in preparation for Canadas historic Davis Cup semifinal against Serbia in Belgrade in September. "Im hoping to get a lot of matches here this week and confidence to build for the Rogers Cup," said Pospisil, who is playing in the Odlum Brown VanOpen, a United States Tennis Association event, in West Vancouver before he heads to Montreal. "Its obviously a very exciting next couple of months for me." Pospisil, a 23-year-old Vernon, B.C., native who now calls Vancouver home, will head into the Rogers Cup looking to build on a season in which he has helped Canada reach unprecedented heights on the international stage. Canada earned a berth in the Davis Cup semifinals for the first time ever with its quarter-final win over Italy in Vancouver in April. The quarter-final berth was Canadas first in the Davis Cups modern era, resulting from a win over Spains injury-riddled world No. 1 squad in February, also in Vancouver. "(The Rogers Cup) is going to be a good experience," he said. "Obviously, any big tournament that you play in is good for gaining experience for a tie as important as we have in September. Ive played in the Rogers Cup a few times now, so its not going to be new territory for me." Pospisil is a candidate for Davis Cup singles and doubles selection. He and Daniel Nestor teamed up for a crucial five-set doubles victory against Italy that set the stage for Milos Raonics singles victory that enabled Canada to advance. "Davis Cup is probably the most memorable experience Ive had in my career at the moment," said Pospisil. "To play for your country and one another is huge, especially for Canada having clinched past this first round. Other than that, Id say its more just being consistent up there in the ATP events, which I struggled with a little bit last year. "It was my first year playing major (international tournaments), and this year, Im feeling much more comfortable. So, for me, its just a good year in terms of getting comfortable out there and playing against the top players." Pospisil has gained the greater comfort while working with new coach Frederic Fontang of France, a former ATP player. Fontang has helped Pospisil improve on playing the game at a higher speed and using more aggression to avoid long rallies and earn points quicker. "I honestly cant say enough good things about him," said Pospisil. "Hes an incredible coach. He knows what hes doing. His knowledge of the sport is incredible. He takes that knowledge with me and shares it with me, and helps me perform. He has a lot of experience. "Hes done a good job with mme. Brett Favre Jersey. . Honestly, every week, Im learning something new." In mid-July, Pospisil used his increased knowledge to reach an ATP tour semifinal for the first time, in Bogota, Colombia before falling in three sets to Alejandro Falla. The strong showing enabled him to move up in the ATP rankings to No. 89 and move within range of his career-best No. 85 spot, reached last year. But Pospisil is not the only Canadian Davis Cup team member who will use the Rogers Cup to prepare for the battle with Serbia. Jesse Levine, an Ottawa native who grew up in the U.S. and obtained permission to play for Canada earlier this year, will also compete in Montreal, playing doubles with Pospisil as well as singles. "Weve played really well together," said Pospisil. Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., will also compete at the Rogers Cup after gaining a wild-card entry into the main draw. Dancevic, 28, played a key role in helping Canada get past Spain in February, as he upset heavily-favoured Marcel Granollers in opening-night singles action. But Dancevic, 28, was forced to sit out the tie against Italy due to a knee injury. As a result, Levine took his place while he watched Canada gain glory from the sidelines. "Actually, it was my choice," said Dancevic. "I felt like it was time to put the team ahead of yourself. I just felt I knew I wasnt 100 per cent. Its better to give somebody else the opportunity, whos 100 per cent, especially in an important tie like that. "I dont think theres any room for error. I think guys should be really honest with how they feel the weeks of Davis Cup. If theres somebody healthy behind you and youre not 100 per cent, youve got to put your ego aside and think about the country and think about how far weve gotten and put somebody else on the line, and thats what I did." Now that he is healthier, he is looking forward to a chance to represent Canada in Serbia, which is led by one of the worlds top players, Novak Djokovic. But Dancevic still must earn selection from captain Martin Laurendeau. "You grow up wanting to play for your country," said Dancevic. "Ive always loved playing for Canada. Ive had great memories playing Davis Cup. Ive had really great wins, really bad losses, cried for my country and celebrated. Ive been through it all in the last 10 years. Its pretty intense. Itll be great if Im selected. Ill be really happy." Dancevic might have helped his cause by beating up-and-comer Filip Peliwo, 19, of North Vancouver, B.C., in the opening round of this weeks tournament in West Vancouver. It was Dancevics second victory over Peliwo, a frequent practice partner, in recent weeks. But Dancevic is not placing too much stock in results before the time comes for the Davis Cup lineup to be named. "Theres still a long way to go before the Davis Cup," said Dancevic. "Basically, I just do my thing." Notes: Peliwo will also head to Montreal for the Rogers Cup, but must get through qualifying rounds.

The thrill was there. It felt good, being a part of a team.Holiday made his season debut after missing the first 12 games to care for his wife , retired soccer star Lauren Holiday, who had brain surgery last month only weeks after giving birth to the couples first child, a daughter.He wound up playing just more than 23 minutes hitting an array of jumpers, including a 3, as well as driving floaters and layups. He finished with seven assists, none more crowd-pleasing than his crisp bounce-pass to a cutting Davis, who finished the play with a thunderous two-handed dunk.Holiday had been in constant contact with coaches and studying game video while on leave, so he wasnt surprised that he quickly got into the rhythm of the offense.There are some new faces around here, but at the same time its the same system, Holiday said. The part that I was really worried about was conditioning. I really thought that I was behind. Maybe I was just excited for this game. I felt like I could play forever.Terrence Jones added 15 points, and Tim Frazier had 12 for the Pelicans. New Orleans built the lead up to 20 in the fourth quarter and cruised to the finished. Theyve won three of five after an 0-8 start.Damian Lillard scored 27 points, and CJ McCollum 24 for Portland, which has lost three straight to fall to 7-7. Mason Plumlee added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who never got closer than eight points in the second half.We obviously are not playing the best basketball right now, but we are still .500, said Portland forward Ed Davis, who had 11 rebounds in a starting role that required him to attempt to defend his Pelicans namesake. Its not like we are on an eight-game losing streak.We are not in panic mode, he added.

The thrill was there. It felt good, being a part of a team.Holiday made his season debut after missing the first 12 games to care for his wife , retired soccer star Lauren Holiday, who had brain surgery last month only weeks after giving birth to the couples first child, a daughter.He wound up playing just more than 23 minutes hitting an array of jumpers, including a 3, as well as driving floaters and layups. He finished with seven assists, none more crowd-pleasing than his crisp bounce-pass to a cutting Davis, who finished the play with a thunderous two-handed dunk.Holiday had been in constant contact with coaches and studying game video while on leave, so he wasnt surprised that he quickly got into the rhythm of the offense.There are some new faces around here, but at the same time its the same system, Holiday said. The part that I was really worried about was conditioning. I really thought that I was behind. Maybe I was just excited for this game. I felt like I could play forever.Terrence Jones added 15 points, and Tim Frazier had 12 for the Pelicans. New Orleans built the lead up to 20 in the fourth quarter and cruised to the finished. Theyve won three of five after an 0-8 start.Damian Lillard scored 27 points, and CJ McCollum 24 for Portland, which has lost three straight to fall to 7-7. Mason Plumlee added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who never got closer than eight points in the second half.We obviously are not playing the best basketball right now, but we are still .500, said Portland forward Ed Davis, who had 11 rebounds in a starting role that required him to attempt to defend his Pelicans namesake. Its not like we are on an eight-game losing streak.We are not in panic mode, he added. Well be all right, man.TIP-INSTrail Blazers: Maurice Harkless scored 10 points, but went 2 of 7 from 3-point range, from where the Blazers wentt 12 of 34 as a team. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Shane-Ray-Jersey/. ...

Zach Terrell is enjoying the perks of being the quarterback of an undefeated college football team. Brian McCann Jersey .Terrell walked into a graduate-level class at Western Michigan and was greeted by a throng of supporters.Grown men and women gave me a standing ovation, he said. Not that Im deserving, but that was just like, Wow! Weve got vice presidents and people in major organizations clapping for a 22-year-old kid that has never worked a day in his life. That was pretty special.The 14th-ranked Broncos (10-0 overall, 6-0 Mid-American Conference), one of two remaining unbeaten FBS teams, will try to keep their fans happy when they host Buffalo (2-8, 1-5) on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU). As an added treat, ESPNs College Gameday show will hold its broadcast at the Kalamazoo, Mich., campus, a rarity for a Mid-American Conference program.We dont take that lightly, Terrell said. Were proud to have them here. For us football players, its a dream come true. I know it was on my bucket list to go to a College Gameday. Well, College Gameday came to me.Terrell has entered the Heisman Trophy discussion with his 23-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and his 70.3 percent completion rate. But the Broncos needed to rely on their ground game in sloppy conditions in their 37-21 Election Night victory over Kent State.Jarvion Franklin carried 31 times for 134 yards and a touchdown, while Fabian Johnson rushed for 125 yards on 19 carries and another score as Western Michigan rallied from an early 14-0 deficit.The Broncos also have another quality running back in Jamauri Bogan, who missed the Kent State game with an injury but has 589 yards and seven touchdowns this season.Theyve got a lot of backs that are playing well, Buffalo coach Lance Leipold said. Each one has a little bit different in their game. Franklins a great package of speed and power, a bigger back. Bogan has excellent speed, and they make great decisions. They see something, its one cut and get up the field and make things happen.The Bulls are coming off a 35-24 loss to Miami of Ohio. Quarterback Tyree Jackson suffered a right leg injury in that game and Leipold said Jackson is questionable to play on Saturday. If he cant go, Grant Rohach will get the start.Leipold expects his team to be fired up, no matter who is behind the center.Were disappointed how things have gone to this point, he said. I think its an outstanding opportunity to play an undefeated team and all the things that are happening there. Its a monumental kind of task but one we should embrace. Its one that we need to embrace and soak up as much as we can as we try to put ourselves in that position.The Broncos finish their regular season against Toledo, the second-place team in the MAC West Division. But Terrell knows the Bulls could be dangerous if his team looks ahead to that showdown.We were in that position a few years ago, he said. They have nothing to lose. Theyre going to come out and give us everything theyve got. Anthony Gose Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. Gerrit Cole Jersey . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. http://www.astrosteamproshop.com/Astros-Craig-Biggio-Kids-Jersey/ . NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period. NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Alex Torgersen threw four touchdown passes, three to Justin Watson, and Penn rolled to a 42-7 victory over Yale in the first night game in Yale Bowl history.Torgersen completed 16 of 23 passes for 229 yards and rushed for 66 yards.

A miserable loss in Miami might be the least of the problems facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nick Shore Jersey .Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger limped through the locker room after the 30-15 setback with his left knee aching following an awkward step in the second quarter.Though he returned to finish 19 of 34 for 189 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, Roethlisberger planned to undergo an MRI.I dont know how it happened, Roethlisberger said. I just felt something funny in my knee. Yeah, thats about it.Roethlisberger was scrambling to his right to escape pressure in the second quarter when he stepped out of a potential sack. He wound up throwing an interception on the play and left briefly in favor of backup Landry Jones.Hopefully well pray its just not too serious, Roethlisberger said.Roethlisberger missed four starts last season for various injuries, including a sprained left knee. Jones went 1-1 while filling in for Roethlisberger, though the Steelers face a significant test next weekend when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots visit Heinz Field.Baltimores injury-riddled and beleaguered secondary was dealt another blow when veteran Jimmy Smith left Sundays game against the New York Giants with a concussion.With Smith off the field in the second half, New York wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. went off against Baltimores Shareece Wright, Will Davis and Tavon Young, scoring two long touchdowns as the Giants held on for a 27-23 win.The most frightening injury of the day happened in Tennessee. Cleveland defensive back Jordan Poyer went to the hospital with a lacerated kidney following a vicious blindside hit in the second quarter of the Browns 28-26 loss to the Titans.Poyer was hurt chasing down Titans returner Marc Mariani when Antonio Andrews hit him, knocking Poyer to the ground with 6:33 left in the second quarter. Andrews was flagged and penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct on the blindside hit.The hit left Poyer bent over on the grass for a few minutes before he was able to walk to the Browns sideline. He was evaluated, then put on a cart that took him to the locker room before Poyer was transported to a local hospital. He was evaluated at the hospital for a concussion and an abdomen injury, revealing the damage to his kidney.Asked about the hit, Browns coach Hue Jackson called it just football and doubted Andrews was doing anything more than just trying to block Poyer.Sometimes you aim at a spot and hit some other things, Jackson said.The Rams defense took another hit in a second straight loss, this time at Detroit. Defensive tackle Michael Brockers aggravated his hip injury and defensive back Lamarcus Joyner left with a forearm injury.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Tyler Toffoli Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. Andy Andreoff Jersey . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. http://www.nhlkingsauthority.com/authentic-rogie-vachon-kings-jersey/ .

ALAMEDA, Calif. Oliver Kylington Jersey . -- The NFL is investigating whether a video linked to an account from suspended Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith shows him using illegal drugs.A video on a periscope account that has shown Smith in the past features an unidentified man off camera discussing a rolled cigarette with an unidentified woman. Its not clear whats in the cigarette and who the man is. Smith sent out a tweet Monday after CSNBayArea.com reported on the video saying Good try, not me.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy says the league is investigating.Smith is serving a one-year suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy that ends Nov. 17. He can apply for reinstatement in September. He gets regularly drug tested while on suspension.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Matt Stajan Jersey . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Matthew Tkachuk Jersey . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. http://www.flamesauthority.com/authentic-gary-roberts-flames-jersey/ .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Smith huddled with Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in front of his locker, not more than 15 minutes after Kansas City had beaten the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.If they were already dissecting his performance, they werent going to find many faults.Smith threw two touchdown passes in another calm, efficient outing, and Daniel Sorensen returned an interception of Drew Brees for another score as the Chiefs held on for a 27-21 victory.Everybody trusts Alex, man. Alex is a pro, said Tyreek Hill, who made an acrobatic 38-yard TD catch to help the Chiefs (4-2) win their ninth consecutive home game. Hes good. Hes the truth.Smith was helped by another big game from Spencer Ware, the one-time fill-in for Jamaal Charles whos become a star. He had 77 yards rushing to go with a 46-yard TD catch.He runs with a lot of physicality and determination, but a lot of agility, Smith said. Hes a good mix and I think you just see a guy who has great vision.Brees tried to rally the Saints (2-4) once again, pulling them within 24-21 on a touchdown pass to Brandon Coleman with 2:33 left. But the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds, Kansas City added a field goal and the Saints could do nothing in the final 28 seconds to change the outcome.Brees finished with 367 yards and three TD passes, and became the first player with 100 games with at least 300 yards passing. But much of that offense came while he was trying to rally his team. It was another uneven performance away from the Superdome for the New Orleans quarterback, who was coming off a 465-yard game last week against Carolina.Listen, weve set the bar pretty high at home, havent we? We cant expect 500 yards on the road, he said. Its what home-field advantage is, right? We can definitely execute better though.Meanwhile, the Chiefs showed some moxie after falling into an early 7-0 hole.Wares touchdown on a screen pass and Sorensens pick-six off a batted ball quickly turned the momentum, and Hill added his long touchdown reception to make it 21-7 at the break.The Saints drew within a touchdown on Mark Ingrams catch midway through the third quarter, but the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner fuumbled inside the Kansas City 10 with 8:26 left in the game. TJ Brodie Jersey. Thats just everybody flying to the ball, said the Chiefs Marcus Peters, who recovered it.The fumble with the Chiefs leading 24-14 proved to be pivotal. New Orleans got the ball back and eventually scored, but the extra time it took may have cost them a chance to win the game.You play a good team on the road, penalties and turnovers, they can really do you in, Saints coach Sean Payton said. Interception return for a touchdown on third-and-long, fumble in the red zone and were not a good enough team to overcome some of those mistakes.LOTS OF LAUNDRYThe Saints struggled with the crowd noise in Arrowhead Stadium, getting flagged for four false starts and a delay of game. They also got hit with two unnecessary roughness penalties, including one with just over two minutes left that kept them from getting the ball back. With a veteran quarterback like that, you dont really expect it, Chiefs safety Eric Berry said.BETTER DEFENSEThe Saints defense voluntarily skipped their day off Monday to review video, and it seemed to pay off. One of the leagues worst defenses held Kansas City to just 326 yards of total offense.REID ROLLS 300The Chiefs Andy Reid coached his 300th game Sunday. Most of those were over his 14 seasons in Philadelphia, where he was 140-102-1. He is now 36-21 in his fourth season in Kansas City.INJURY REPORTSaints: LB Dannell Ellerbe (quad), LB Stephone Anthony (hamstring) and CB Delvin Breaux (broken leg) left New Orleans without three defensive starters, while starting LG Andrus Peat (groin) was also out. Backup LG Senio Kelemete later left with a stinger, forcing Tim Lelito into the lineup.Chiefs: Starting CB Phillip Gaines (knee) was inactive, while Charles (knee swelling) was active in a limited role . He had just one carry early in the game. Things were going OK so I just let him ride there, Reid said.

The Oakland Raiders and cornerback David Amerson have reached an agreement on a four-year extension worth a maximum value of $38 million, sources told ESPN. Custom Philadelphia 76ers Jerseys .The deal includes $17.5 million guaranteed, sources said.Amerson was claimed off waivers from the Washington Redskins early in the 2015 season. A second-round pick in 2013, he played extensively as a rookie with the Redskins, but his playing time had decreased.That, though, changed with the Raiders.He played in 14 games since being claimed, totaling 58 tackles and intercepting four passes.

"Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Ryan Succop wasnt offended when Titans coach Mike Mularkey elected to go for a 2-point conversion and the win Sunday rather than let him attempt the tying extra point against the Chiefs.Good thing, too. His confidence came in handy a few minutes later.The kicker who lost his job in Kansas City to an undrafted rookie in training camp a few years ago spoiled what was nearly a banner day for the Chiefs. He boomed a 53-yarder through the uprights on the final play of the game to give Tennessee a 19-17 victory crucial to its playoff hopes .I just kind of had to throw technique out the window a little bit and really go after it, said Succop, who came up short on his first try, only to get a do-over when Chiefs coach Andy Reid called timeout.I thought I hit the first one good and when it came up short there was a second in my mind, I wasnt even sure I could reach from there, Succop said. You could give me 10 kicks from there and I dont know if I could make one. Honestly.He made the only one that mattered.The victory was the third straight for the Titans (8-6) and kept them tied with Houston atop the AFC South. It also dashed a chance for the Chiefs (10-4) to clinch their spot in the playoffs. They came into the day tied with the Raiders for first in the AFC West.Mularkey said the decision to go for 2 after Derrick Henrys second TD run made it 17-16 with 3:12 to go had nothing to do with Succops leg. Rather, it had everything to do with his confidence in his team.I wanted to make a statement, Mularkey said. When we had the ball, I went around the sideline. I talked to the guys on this team, our leaders, and I said, `This is my plan. And they were all, `Lets go. They knew before the drive started we were going for it.Meanwhile, the Chiefs kept squandering chances to put the game away.Twice they were stuffed at the 1-yard line in the first half and came away without points, and Alex Smith threw an interception in the end zone early in the second to ruin another drive. They also had a hard time converting third downs, going 4 for 14 and continuing a season-long trend.I take the responsibility for that, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. Weve got to do a bbetter job, I do, of coaching them up and putting them in positions to make plays. Dario Saric Jersey. As the Titans and Chiefs continue their playoff pursuit, here are some more key takeaways:MARVELOUS MARCUS: Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota fumbled the ball away and threw an interception , and was having an otherwise miserable day until the fourth quarter. But after leading his team to a touchdown to get back in the game, he made three crucial completions to set up Succops winning field goal.We had to get down and get to the 50-yard range for Ryan. We knew if we could get a couple big plays that we would have a chance at it, he said. Ryan did a great job of finishing it off at the end.MARVELOUS MURRAY: The Titans DeMarco Murray carried 18 times for 89 yards while catching five passes for 52 yards. For a big stretch of the game, he was the teams only consistent offense.SECOND-HALF WOES: The Chiefs have not scored an offensive touchdown in the second half the last two weeks, and only scored one in the second half dating to their overtime win in Denver on Nov. 27.Every second half is different, Smith said. Certainly today, yeah, frustrating. A lot of plays to be made out there. ... If we could make one or two of them its a different day.BUNDLED UP: It was 1 degree at kickoff, making it the coldest game at Arrowhead Stadium since records have been kept beginning in 1994. The wind chill of minus-9 was second to a 2008 game against Miami, when it was minus-12 at kickoff. In fact, it was so cold that fuses that operate the massive scoreboard in the west end zone froze, leaving a corner of it blank for much of the game.It was tough for both teams, said Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos, a native of Brazil. Tough day.UP NEXT: The Titans visit Jacksonville, which fired coach Gus Bradley on Sunday, next weekend before facing the Texans to finish the regular season. Kansas City gets Denver at home on Christmas night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---This story has been corrected to fix the score in the headline to 19-17.

Australian Matt Wilkinsons world surfing title hopes received a boost as he narrowly survived a do-or-die second-round battle at the Tahiti Pro. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-James-Burgess-Jersey/ .Championship leader Wilkinson was the first in the water on day two and produced two stellar rides to advance out of his high-quality heat against qualifier Hira Teriinatoofa.In relatively small one-metre waves at the Teahupoo break, Wilkinsons rides of 8.00 and 6.17 were enough to ensure a 0.67-point victory.Going in this morning, I knew it was small and slow, but when they come, there are still some beautiful tubes, Wilkinson said.I wanted to put some pressure on him. I got that one set that sealed the deal, so I am stoked.Hell now attempt to advance out of the third round for just second time in seven visits to Teahupoo when he again takes on 2008 Tahiti winner and qualifier Bruno Santos of Brazil, who beat him in round one.Fellow title contender and defending world champion Adriano de Souza wont advance though, after he was beaten by Brazilian Alex Ribeiro in a low-scoring heat.Brazils Felipe Toledo was another big-name casualty on the second day of competition, beaten by compatriot Jason Andrew, as he struggled to a combined score of just 6.63.The news was good for Australia though, with Julian Wilson and Matt Banting each winning through the sudden-death second round.Wilson survived a late scare from fellow Australian Ryan Callinan, whose last-ditch ride of 5.33 fell just 0.34 points short of forcing an upset.Former world champion Joel Parkinson and Josh Kerr also won through in all-Australian heats against youngster Jack Freestone and Stuart Kennedy respectively.It is hard going against Jack [Freestone] because I watched him grow up and climb through the ranks, Parkinson said.He is someone who I hope to pass the baton to, push and watch him do well.Davey Cathels was the only other Australian not to advance to the third round, narrowly beaten by Nat Young of the USA.Adrian Buchan, Adam Melling and Kai Otton had previously qualified for the third round after winning their first-round heats on the opening day. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Jamie-Meder-Jersey/ . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Kenny-Britt-Jersey/ . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Kevin-Hogan-Jersey/ .
