tion in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter that spoiled another drive. Tampa Bay capitalized by going the other way Antworten

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs have ventured into the red zone five times the past two weeks.They have one touchdown to show for it.After settling for a field goal on the first trip Sunday, Alex Smith tossed an interception in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter that spoiled another drive. Tampa Bay capitalized by going the other way for a touchdown that proved crucial in the Buccaneers 19-17 victory.Im going to take responsibility for it. Were not getting into the end zone for touchdowns when we need to, said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who this week said scoring touchdowns rather than field goals was a priority. When youre given an opportunity, youve got to make plays.The Buccaneers (5-5) certainly did, going 11 of 16 on third down. That included a conversion with just over two minutes remaining that allowed them to nearly finish off the game.By the time Kansas City finally forced a punt, there was 8 seconds to go.I dont think theres one thing you can point to. I dont think theres one thing that can do it, Smith said of the red-zone trouble. You got to come away with points. Thats a difference maker.Smith was 23 of 30 for 268 yards in another inconsistent performance. He was thoroughly outplayed by Tampa Bay counterpart Jameis Winston, who threw for 331 yards and a touchdown.I wish you guys could have been in that huddle, Winston said of the drive that nearly ended the game. You could just see the faces, everyone was being anxious. I stepped in the huddle and said, `Guys, just calm down. Lets finish. Lets finish. We got this. And we did.As the Buccaneers celebrate their fifth straight win over the Chiefs (7-3), here are some of the story lines that came to dominate the afternoon:GET ONE, LOSE ONE: The Chiefs pass rush got four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Justin Houston back for the first time this season, but it also lost Dee Ford to a hamstring injury before halftime.Ford entered the game tops in the NFL with 10 sacks. And while Houston wound playing more snaps than Reid would have liked, he was unable to generate much pressure on the quarterback. The only sack Kansas City got was granted to the team on Winstons fumble.He got a lot of snaps, Reid said of Houston, who had not played in a game since having surgery to his left ACL in February. Hes going to be sore tomorrow.WINNING FOR MONK: Winston dedicated the win to former Florida State star and longtime administrator Monk Bonasorte, who died Saturday night after a battle with brain cancer. He was 59.He really meant a lot to me, said Winston, who starred for the Seminoles before becoming the No. 1 overall draft pick. If the Bonasorte family is listening, thank you. I love you.MORE HEAVY HEARTS: Chiefs long snapper James Winchester played one day after the funeral for his father, Michael, who was shot to death at an Oklahoma City airport on Tuesday.Police believe the elder Winchester, an employee for Southwest Airlines, was gunned down near an airport parking ramp in retaliation for the assailant losing his own airline job.I cant commend that guy enough, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said. The stuff that hes been dealt this week is, man, its hard. It makes football seem pointless. Its life and when you lose someone special like that, for him to be out here to be a part of this team, it just shows you the type of brotherhood that we have here.LETS GO STREAKING: The Chiefs not only had their five-game winning streak snapped, they lost inside the raucous environs of Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since Oct. 11, 2015.Man, the crowd noise was amazing, Winston said. I love to play here.TOUGH SLEDDING: Buccaneers running back Doug Martin carried 24 times for 63 yards, while Chiefs running back Spencer Ware was held to 69 yards on 17 carries. Both teams appeared intent on establishing the run, and both defenses appeared intent on stopping it.We had some opportunities, Ware said, and we didnt get it done.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Cavaliers Jerseys Authentic .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- The last time West Virginia came to play at Texas Tech as a ranked team, the Mountaineers got trounced by 35 points.On Saturday, the Red Raiders will aim for a repeat of 2012, when they toppled the fifth-ranked Mountaineers. This year West Virginia is ranked No. 20 and unbeaten.Theyre a good team, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. Dana (Holgorsen) does a good job schematically week in week out to try to take advantage of what youre doing defensively.Holgorsen and Kingsbury met more than 15 years ago, when the Mountaineers coach worked for former Red Raiders coach Mike Leach and Kingsbury was the teams quarterback.Kliff knows what hes doing, Holgorsen said of the fourth-year coach. Hes going to get those guys ready to go and we have our work cut out for us on defense.The Mountaineers (4-0, 0-0 Big 12) have had two weeks to prepare, having a bye week after a 17-16 home win Oct. 1 over Kansas State. The Red Raiders (3-2, 1-1) are coming off a 44-38 loss to the Wildcats last week.At least Texas Tech doesnt have to be concerned about kicker Josh Lambert, who in 2014 hit a career-long, 55-yard field goal as time expired in Lubbock to give West Virginia a 37-34 victory. Holgorsen announced this week -- without explanation or further comment -- that Lambert, who missed the first three games due to a suspension, was no longer with the team.A few more things to look for when Texas Tech hosts West Virginia:MAHOMES AND HIS RECEIVERSJunior QB Patrick Mahomes, who leads the nation in passing yards per game (454.8), has plenty of receivers to pick from in the Red Raiders pass-heavy offense. Seven of them -- Jonathan Giles leads the league and the corps in receiving yards per game (122.8) -- have caught at least 11 passes for a combined 2,125 yards. Mahomes, who has passed for 20 TDs and run for seven more, has a great grasp of his offense, Mountaineers defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said. He understands getting rid of the ball, Gibson said.dddddddddddd He puts it in the right place at the right time. He lets his wideouts work for him, and when he wants to throw it over the top he can do that as well. He is so big, you have guys falling off of him, and he keeps plays alive.RUSHING MOUNTAINEERSWest Virginia, the Big 12s fifth-ranked rushing offense (187.2 ypg), will face the leagues sixth-ranked rushing defense (179.4 ypg). Junior RB Justin Crawford ranks fifth in the Big 12 with 331 yards on 60 carries, averaging 82.8 ypg. This year the Mountaineers have run the ball 52 percent of the time (164 of 315 plays). Kingsbury figures the Mountaineers will run the ball often. Last year they ran it, I think, 57 times versus us, he said. So Ive known hes been doing that the last three or four years.PENALTY PROBLEMSTexas Tech was flagged for five 15-yard penalties -- including one that erased a TD -- in its loss last week. It wasnt unusual, though. The Red Raiders rank 121st in the nation in penalty yards per game, having committed 48 penalties in five games to average 80.2 ypg. Weve really been stopping ourselves with penalties, making it third and 15, third and 20, and then thats a hard position to be in, WR Cameron Batson said. So we have to cut out the penalties and be more disciplined.RED ZONE FACEOFFTexas Tech is nearly twice as efficient in scoring touchdowns once inside the red zone than the Mountaineers. The Red Raiders have connected for TDs 26 of the 32 times theyve been there (81 percent), while West Virginia has found the end zone on just eight of 18 trips inside opponents 20-yard line (44 percent). The guys have to score, Holgorsen said. Were moving the ball. Were averaging a lot of yards. We have to score more, period.---Follow Betsy Blaney on Twitter at www.twitter.com/betsyblaney---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
