which is why it was a two-point game. Antworten

LANDOVER, Md. - Colt McCoy had trouble keeping his eyes dry and his voice steady.The one-time NFL starter had been through the quarterback wilderness of scout-team snaps and inactive Sundays since the last time the league had paid him any mind.And yet here he was, a quarterback not named Griffin or Cousins who had just led a game-winning fourth-quarter drive for the Washington Redskins.Its been two years, and I dont want to get emotional, McCoy said. But Im just thankful that Ive hung in there and kept fighting.McCoys relief appearance after Kirk Cousins halftime benching provided a lift to an otherwise ho-hum game between ho-hum teams.The Redskins beat the Tennessee Titans 19-17 Sunday, snapping a four-game skid on Kai Forbaths 22-yard field goal as time expired.We went through some adversity, changed quarterbacks, and Colt played a hell of a game, Washington defensive end Jason Hatcher said.I think its good for us, because I think we forgot how it feels to win. They say its Tennessee Titans and were supposed to win, but its so hard to win.After Cousins committed his 10th and 11th turnovers of the season and the Redskins were booed off the field at halftime trailing 10-6, McCoy emerged at the behest of coach Jay Gruden and watched his first pass — a simple curl route — turn into a career-long 70-yard touchdown, with Pierre Garcon doing most of the work after the catch.Never mind it was the first time McCoy had stepped into a huddle with the Redskins full first-team offence.Even in training camp, he rarely if ever threw a pass to Garcon in a full-team drill.I like Jay a lot, McCoy said. And when Jay came and told me to be ready to play, I just didnt want to let him down.It was McCoys first NFL pass in nearly a year and his first touchdown pass since December 2012 with the Cleveland Browns.Go back even further and youll find the last time McCoy played a significant role in a victory: Nov. 20, 2011, when he was the Browns regular starter.This league, McCoy said, is very unforgiving.McCoy completed 11 of 12 passes for 128 yards and moved the Redskins into chip-shot range for Forbath after Washington took over at its 20 with 3:14 to play.He found Andre Roberts for 10 yards, Jordan Reed for 9. A long pass to DeSean Jackson resulted in a 22-yard pass interference penalty on Jason McCourty that put the ball at the Tennessee 7-yard line.McCoys message in the huddle before that final drive: I looked them in the eye and said, Hey, Im going to do my job. You do yours, and were going to win this game.Gruden didnt name a quarterback for next weeks game against the Dallas Cowboys, but with Robert Griffin III (dislocated ankle) not expected back for at least two more weeks, the coach indicated that McCoy would get the start.Its a good sign the way that Colt finished the game, Gruden said.McCoy bettered the output of another backup, Charlie Whitehurst, who subbed again for the injured Jake Locker (bruised right thumb). Whitehurst completed 17 of 26 passes for 160 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for the mistake-prone Titans (2-5).He hit Derek Hagan for a 38-yard scoring pass with 7:41 to play to give his team a 17-16 lead that ultimately didnt last.Being 2-5 and losing two heartbreakers in the last three weeks, we can only go up, Tennessee safety George Wilson said.The Titans committed too many head-shaking mistakes. Of course, the Redskins did, too — which is why it was a two-point game.The Titans called timeout three times in the first quarter. The Redskins were offside while defending a punt, giving up a first down. The Titans, not to be outdone, went offside on a kickoff.Washington had two sacks wiped out by illegal contact downfield and had a scoring drive of minus-3 yards.One play after Whitehurst threw an interception, Cousins did the same. The Titans got 32 yards out of the exchange — more than they gained on any offensive play in the first half — and it led to the games first touchdown.Dexter McCluster made an unwise decision to field a line-drive punt and fumbled it away, giving the Redskins excellent field position that resulted in a field goal.The teams combined for 18 penalties for 146 yards.I dont know how many times today we were in first-and-20, Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. Those are hard to overcome.Notes: Redskins LB Brian Orakpo injured his right pectoral muscle in the fourth quarter and will have an MRI on Monday. ... These were the two worst third down teams in the NFL entering the game, so its only fitting that both converted a mere 3-for-11 Sunday.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Roger Maris Yankees Jersey . 15-23, the Ottawa Senators will by hoping to avoid going five straight games without a victory for the first time since a 0-3-2 drought from Oct.

In what manager Joe Girardi said would be a season-long lovefest for Jeter, the shortstop was cheered every step of the way by an adoring crowd of 48, 142 -- even when his double-play grounder back to Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) scored Solarte in the third inning for the first run.

Brignacs RBI single in the bottom of the 14th inning gave the Phillies a 6-5 win over the New York Mets on Friday night. Domonic Brown hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs for the Phillies, who snapped the Mets six-game winning streak at Citizens Bank Park, dating to last season. Marlon Byrd reached second when right fielder Chris Young dropped his fly ball for an error leading off the 14th. Carlos Ruiz followed with a single to centre off Jenrry Mejia (4-2) that sent Byrd to third. After pinch-hitter Cesar Hernandez was intentionally walked, Brignac drove an opposite-field shot that one-hopped the wall in left. Brignac rounded first base and kept running into shallow right field before he was swarmed by teammates. "I was just messing around, trying to make them catch me," Brignac said. "It felt great coming through." Brignac started at third base for Cody Asche, who is on the disabled list. Hernandez had played third since Asche got hurt. "That was a big swing," manager Ryne Sandberg said. Young refused to blame the wind for his error, even though it was blowing in hard by the end of the game. "I was looking dead at it when it was coming down," Young said. "I cant explain it. I have no idea how I dropped a routine fly ball, but it happened." Justin De Fratus (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings to earn the win. Phillies starter A.J. Burnett had a season-high 11 strikeouts, but allowed five runs and five hits in seven innings. He had to pitch out of trouble often because of six walks. "Im missing here and there, but six is a lot," Burnett said. "I have some work to do." Mets rookie Rafael Montero lasted just 3 2-3 innings, allowing four runs -- three earned --- and seven hits in the shortest of his four career starts.ddddddddddddComing off a 10-strikeout performance last Sunday against Arizona, Montero didnt fan any of Philadelphias strikeout-prone batters. The Phillies struck out 15 times in a 4-1 loss to the Mets on Thursday night. Bobby Abreu hit a two-run double to give the Mets a 5-4 lead in the fifth after David Wright and Curtis Granderson struck out with two runners on. But the Phillies answered in the bottom half against Daisuke Matsuzaka. Byrd walked, went to third on Ruizs double and scored on Browns groundout to tie it at 5. Byrd walked to start Philadelphias fourth and Ruiz singled. Brown then hit a high drive out to right to give the Phillies a 4-3 lead. Brown, an NL All-Star last year, was hitting .199 before connecting for his fourth homer this season. Brown hit 12 of his team-high 27 homers last May. Burnett helped himself with a leadoff single in the third. He went to third base when Abreu booted Jimmy Rollins single to right for an error. Chase Utley followed with an RBI groundout to cut it to 3-1. The Mets
