Spiller gave a knowing wink when assessing the impact the Buffalo Bills dynamic "Clemson Connection" made in a home-opening 29-1 Antworten

ORCHARD PARK, N. Sammie Coates Texans Jersey .Y. -- C.J. Spiller gave a knowing wink when assessing the impact the Buffalo Bills dynamic "Clemson Connection" made in a home-opening 29-10 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. "Yeah, thats what we do," Spiller said. "The only thing I was thinking was, Man, what we couldve done if we played together in college." Spiller, the Bills 2010 first-round pick out of Clemson, scored on a 102-yard kickoff return on the teams first touch of the ball in the third quarter. And first-round pick Sammy Watkins, the latest Tigers player to join Buffalos ranks, capped the next drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch. The Dolphins (1-1) had no answers against their AFC East rival. Worse still, Miami sustained a potentially big blow when running back Knowshon Moreno, a key off-season addition, did not return after hurting his left elbow 11 minutes in. The injury looked serious, though coach Joe Philbin had no update on Morenos status following the game. The Bills provided electricity to a charged-up crowd during a week the franchise celebrated its proud past and promising future. The game began with a tribute to Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson, who died in March. And it came during an uplifting week in which the franchises long-term future was essentially secured: Wilsons trust reached a "definitive agreement" to sell the team to NHL Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula for an NFL-record $1.4 billion. Bills President Russ Brandon nearly broke down in tears afterward. "It was one of the most special days of my career," Brandon said. "A great tribute to Ralph on Friday, and then to cap it off today with a tremendous win, and the pregame ceremony. It doesnt get any better." Dan Carpenter hit five field goals and the Bills had four sacks in helping Buffalo get off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2011, and only the sixth time since 2000. The game was decided during a 9:10 span in the third quarter, and after Caleb Sturgis capped the Dolphins opening drive by hitting a 34-yard field goal to cut Buffalos lead to 9-3. Spiller struck first on the ensuing kickoff by bursting through a hole up the right hash mark. Kelvin Sheppard was the only Dolphin to get his hand on Spiller, who had a clear path to the end zone once Sturgis missed a diving tackle at the Buffalo 35. The Dolphins replied with Mike Wallace making a one-handed catch for a 7-yard touchdown. Watkins, with his first career touchdown, capped the Bills next drive with a 12-yard catch set up by Spillers 47-yard run. EJ Manuel hit Watkins on a crossing pattern over the middle, and the receiver got the ball just inside the right pylon. Watkins finished with eight catches for 117 yards, and Spiller added 69 yards rushing. Manuel went 16 of 26 for 202 yards in building on his promising performance in a season-opening 23-20 overtime win at Chicago. Very little went right for the Dolphins offence, which failed to carry over momentum from last weekends 33-20 win over New England. The big blow came when Moreno was hurt on his first carry. Driving up the middle for a 4-yard gain, Moreno was initially hit on the right side by Nickell Robey. Nigel Bradham then struck Moreno from the left, hitting him directly in the arm. Moreno, with Denver last season, had an NFL-leading 134 yards rushing entering Week 2. "Obviously, we would love to have him, but you have to deal with those things," Philbin said. "Injuries happen, so it didnt really impact the game plan a whole lot. Other guys have to step up." They didnt. Morenos backup Lamar Miller finished with 11 carries for 46 yards. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill went 31 of 49 for 241 yards with a touchdown and interception. The Dolphins were limited to six first downs and 62 yards offence in the opening half, and never advanced past their 41. Their special-team play was particularly sloppy. Aside from Spillers touchdown, Brandon Fields had a punt blocked in the first quarter, and Jarvis Landry muffed a punt in the fourth quarter. "We just didnt play well. We didnt get first downs," Tannehill said. "We didnt rush the ball. We didnt throw the ball. We didnt catch the ball. We didnt do anything well." NOTES: The Dolphins have lost three straight to Buffalo, their longest losing streak since going 0-4 from 2006-07. ... Carpenter hit five of six field goal attempts, the longest from 38 yards. He hit the left crossbar on a 31-yarder. ... DEs Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes, and DTs Kyle Williams and Stefan Charles each had a sack.

Hernandez (3-0) struck out 11 and shut down Oakland for the second time in a week, becoming the first Mariners pitcher to win three times in the first nine games of a season.

Colorado came up big against Chicago last spring, and repeated that performance Tuesday night. Varlamov stopped 36 shots and Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche in a 5-1 victory over the Blackhawks.TORONTO -- Just two games into the 2014 MLS season, Toronto FC is experiencing new heights. England star Jermain Defoe is scoring goals as befitting his monster salary. American international Michael Bradley is pulling the strings in midfield. And everyone else is playing their part. Its early days yet but Toronto, once the MLS doormat, is off to its best start ever at 2-0-0 and drawing a crowd on and off the pitch. On Saturday, the TFC dressing room was crammed with reporters eager to tell the story of Torontos 1-0 win over D.C. United in the home opener before an announced -- and enthusiastic -- sellout crowd of 22,591 at BMO Field. Defoe emerged from the shower in a towel and flip-flops to find a mass of humanity in front of his stall. "Id forgotten about this," he said with a smile. The 31-year-old forward, used to reporter-free dressing rooms in England, must have felt like he was starring in "Magic Mike" as he dressed in front of some three dozen members of the media. Canadian midfielder Jonathan Osorio, who dresses two stalls down, had to scale his locker like he was climbing Everest just to get to his gear. Toronto loves a winner. Its just never seen one wearing Toronto FC gear. Still manager Ryan Nelsen is preaching caution at this early stage of the franchises eighth season. "I dont think were a top team right now," he said. "Were very well organized but I dont think weve seen the best of us. And you wont see the best of us because were still new." "I think we still have a long way to go as a team," he added. "Well play better than that probably and lose games." Toronto started six players Saturday who werent with the club last year. Defoe, who scored twice in his MLS debut last week in Seattle, could have had four goals Saturday before he finally scored in the 60th minute after Brazilian strike partner Gilberto was sent in alone by a beautiful through ball from Bradley. Goalie Bill Hamid made the save but the ball was cleared only as far as Defoe, who got the ball out from under his feet and hammered home a right-footed shot. The goal, which featured all three of TFCs designated players, was a model of efficiency. Brazilian international goalie Julio Cesar started the play, booting the ball up field. A D.C. United player headed it back towards the Toronto end but TFC captain Steven Caldwell nipped in and sent it to Osorio. The 21-year-old Canadian quickly gave it to Bradley, who lofted a pass over the defence to Gilberto. The day offered thin gruel for D.C. United (0-2-0), which has yet to score this season after being beaten 3-0 by the Columbus Crew in its season opener two weeks ago. "I dont think D.C. broke us down very often at all," said Nelsen. "And you look at our chances we had to score." Defoes three goals in two games would have tied him for third overall in Toronto FC scoring over the entire 2013 season.. Ibraheim Campbell Texans Jersey. After a brutal winter that included one last snowfall overnight, the ravaged grass at BMO Field made for a choppy game. It might as well have been played on a cowpatch. "The field was not conducive to playing any sport of football," Nelsen said by way of understatement. "But thats no fault of the groundskeeper," he added with a smile. "I blame God for that at the moment for the winter hes given Toronto." In addition to having a predator up front, Toronto is also looking a lot harder this season. Caldwell has added to the spine of the club since his arrival last season but the presence of Bradley has helped. The American literally ran over referee Silviu Petrescu in the first half, knocking the official down as he steamed towards the visitors penalty box. And he kept playing after a nasty clash of heads in the second half knocked Davy Arnaud out of the game. The shaven-headed Bradley, who returned to the fray with a bandage, was sporting an ugly array of staples to close the head wound after the game. "You can see now theres a bit of hardness to us, to tell you the truth," said Nelsen, who was tough as nails himself as a player. "That, no disrespect to the past, I dont think weve had." D.C. United coach Ben Olsen, while noting both teams had to play on the surface, called the pitch "as bad as Ive ever seen in the MLS." Be it artificial turf (last week in Seattle) or just bad turf, Toronto is winning. Just two games into the 2014 schedule, TFC has already one-third of the victories it collected last season when the team went 6-17-11. Torontos previous best opening was a 1-0-1 start in 2009. In 2012, it took the team 14 games to record two victories. Nelsens team will no doubt face a stiffer test next weekend at Real Salt Lake (1-0-2). While the overnight snowfall had dissipated by kickoff, fans had to contend with a partial shutdown of the subway system as well as an AHL game and the National Home Show on the Exhibition grounds Saturday. The crowd was announced as a sellout, but there were some empty seats. Defoe called the atmosphere "unbelievable." "From Minute One, the stadium was rocking." It was two degrees at kickoff although a stiff wind did little to make it a pleasant afternoon. Neither did the pitch, which started cutting up in the first half. Torontos Brazilian midfielder Jackson received a yellow card in the 50th minute for what looked like an elbow off the ball. "It looked pretty bad," D.C. defender Bobby Boswell said. Said Nelsen: "I think the referee saw it and he gave him a yellow card. So its been dealt with, isnt it?" D.C. United was the worst team in the league last season at 3-24-7 but made wholesale changes during the off-season. "Its a loss but I think when I look back, I think we will see that we really took some steps forward." said Olsen.
