DETROIT -- The Washington Redskins rushed Matthew Stafford with just three players on his last snap. And, he made them regret it.Stafford threaded a sharp pass between a lunging linebacker and a blanketing cornerback to Anquan Boldin for a go-ahead, 18-yard touchdown pass with 16 seconds left to lift the Detroit Lions to a 20-17 win over Washington on Sunday.We should have blitzed seven or eight, Redskins coach Jay Gruden lamented. But we were playing coverage that weve been playing for a long time and guys were comfortable with. (Linebacker) Will Compton missed it by a fraction of a hair.Boldin, a 14-year veteran, got just enough separation to get away from rookie cornerback Kendall Fuller, who was pressed into a larger role because Josh Norman was knocked out of the game with a concussion.He kind of slow played his guy in the slot, Stafford said. I cut it loose and I kind thought to myself, `Were going either win the game or lose the game on this one. It was a tight window. And, Ill take that every time. If I throw an interception right there, its on my back. Im fine with it, being aggressive and trying to score.Detroit (4-3) has won three straight thanks in large part to Stafford making clutch throws in the final minutes, giving him 24 career wins with game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime.The Redskins (4-3) looked like they were going to extend their winning streak to five when Kirk Cousins scored a go-ahead TD on a 19-yard run with 1:05 left, but they couldnt stop Stafford. He opened the game-winning drive with a 23-yard pass to Marvin Jones, then ran up the middle for 14 yards and connected with former Redskins receiver Andre Roberts on a 20-yard catch before throwing the TD pass to Boldin.Here are other things we learned from Detroits win over Washington:TURNING POINTThe closely contested, low-scoring game included just two turnovers and Washington had both of them. Cousins fumbled in the third quarter at the Detroit 38 and Matt Jones fumbled into the Lions end zone late in the first quarter. After each turnover, the Lions made a field goal on the ensuing possession.Without question, that was a key, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said.EMERGING OPTIONSThe Redskins may want to get the ball into the hands of receiver Jamison Crowder and running back Chris Thompson more often the rest of the season. Crowder had season highs with seven receptions and 108 yards, 1 yard from matching his career high set last year as a rookie against Dallas. Thompson set career highs with 12 carries and 73 yards rushing. He also had a season-high seven receptions for 40 yards, seemingly playing a larger role after Jones fumbled. Gruden insisted Jones was not demoted during the game.Im not going to give up on him for fumbling, Gruden said.CENTURY CLUBStafford has the most completions (2,410), yards passing (27,890), 350-yard passing games (18) among NFL quarterbacks in their first 100 games.I think Ill look back on it when Im done playing and Ill really appreciate it, Stafford said.HES STILL GOT ITWith Washington tight end Jordan Reed out for a second straight game because of a concussion, Vernon Davis made the most of his opportunity. The 32-year-old Davis had season highs with six receptions and 79 yards receiving, one week after having 50 yards receiving and a TD.BAD BOUNCEWashington kicker Dustin Hopkins had been almost perfect this season, missing only one of his 16 kicks. He matched his number of misses at Detroit, hitting the top of the left upright on a 45-yard attempt in the second quarter. Gruden, though, wasnt blaming his kicker for the setback.We missed a field goal and there are things in all three phases we can correct, he said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Clearance Air Max Australia .

Womens Air Max Australia .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. The Washington Redskins paid $75 million in April to sign cornerback Josh Norman, who said he chose Washington because they are a team on the rise. Seems like a logical explanation. But if you could get Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants to theorize about Normans motivation, he might cite two other reasons: Normans disdain for Beckham himself and the attention sparked by their burgeoning rivalry. That rivalry will be rekindled when they line up against each other Sunday at MetLife Stadium, following a heated matchup last season and an offseason of back-and-forth sniping.The numbers say they are both elite. Beckhams 25 receiving touchdowns since the start of 2014 are tied for the most in football, and Norman allowed an NFL-low 54.0 passer rating in his coverage area last season per Pro Football Focus. But their on-field accomplishments are partially overshadowed by their very public feud. A look at how we got here and what to expect:The Previous MatchupWhen Beckham and the Giants faced Norman and his former team, the Carolina Panthers, last Dec. 20, the game was a 38-35 thriller won by Carolina. Although Norman didnt cover Beckham exclusively, he was part of a defensive effort that shut out the Giants All-Pro in the first half (0 catches on two targets). Beckham exploded in the second half, catching six passes for 76 yards, including a 14-yard score in the final two minutes. Norman finished with three tackles and a forced fumble. Its hard to say that either player got the best of the matchup overall -- it was a tale of two vastly different halves for Beckham, as his numbers show:The normally dependable Beckham also had a big problem with dropped passes in the December game. He dropped two targets in the first half, equaling his drop total for the rest of the season. Hard to pinpoint the reason why, but its something to watch for Sunday. A look at the disparity:They tangled repeatedly, with Beckham drawing four penalties (three of which were personal fouls). Officials chose not to eject him, but the league later levied a one-game suspension. The NFL also hit Norman with two separate fines for his role in the incidents.The Twitter FightAs the season finished up for both players, the bad blood persisted and eventually went public with a handful of tweets between them. Beckhams Twitter following: over 1.5 million users. Normans follower count, while not in that range, is still more than 150,000. The social media chapter of the dispute started during the playoffs, when Beckham posted an eyeball emoji just after Norman allowed a touchdown to Jermaine Kearse in a playoff win over Seattle:Things escalated in late March, when Beckham made what appeared to be a subtweet about Norman -- and Norman fired back less than an hour later.The pair of tweets ignited social media for a day or two, with mentions of both players skyrocketing. Beckham averaged one Twitter mention every 6 seconds in the hour right after their exchange. Heres their hourly mentions on Twitter, as provided by social media data company Spredfast:The War of WordsAs the summer began, their feud moved to the next phase: taking direct shots at each othher in interviews.dddddddddddd Beckham got things started in the August issue of GQ, when he sounded off after being asked about Norman. The sentiment, that Norman owes Beckham for his current fame, echoed what Beckham wrote in his tweet from March:Norman, never one to shy away from a verbal challenge, responded to the comment in various interviews (including the NFL Preview issue of ESPN The Magazine). A few of his choice words for Beckham:Quote sources from top: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5Tale of the TapeHow do they match up? By looking at their measurables from the NFL Combine, its clear that Beckham is a tough draw for any defensive back. His hands and wingspan are impressive for a player his size, along with his leaping ability. No wonder hes known for circus catches. But Norman counters with big-time height and wingspan, and his speed is nothing to sneeze at.Who Has the Edge?Time to turn to the experts for insight on how things will unfold in Round 2. We asked a pair of ESPN.com NFL reporters, who follow these two stars on a regular basis, about which player will have the best performance Sunday. Heres what they said.Jordan Raanan | Giants reporterThe Giants should, at times, try to keep Beckham away from Norman by putting him in the slot. He played there 21 percent of the snaps last season and its for this reason the Giants cross-train their receivers. Theyre trying to create the most favorable matchups possible, and in this case, that means Beckham vs. someone other than Norman. But when they do match up as Norman follows him around the field, expect Beckham to produce. Norman was unable to run with Beckham during last seasons matchup. If not for several uncharacteristic drops, Beckham would have easily topped 100 yards receiving and scored two touchdowns directly against Norman. And this isnt just any other game. Its one Beckham has extra motivation to shine, especially after last years matchup and last weeks key dropped pass in the fourth quarter, which left him with a bitter taste in his mouth despite the teams victory.John Keim | Redskins reporterIt sounds as if Norman will shadow Beckham, but whats often said early in the week doesnt quite play out that way on Sundays. So well see. Carolina moved Norman around in last years matchup, but he mostly played zone. Still, it prevented New York from knowing they could easily avoid Normans side. Norman is off to an excellent start through two games, and when paired vs. Beckham in zone, I think hell do well. Norman plays physical, a good strategy vs. Beckham. Really, the key for Norman will be how his help fares -- the Redskins have struggled with safety help and drop by others in coverage, leading to big gaps. Normans ability to play tight and anticipate throws has led to multiple breakups. If its man coverage, Norman will have to rely on help downfield, but hes good at taking away routes. Beckham, though, beat him for one touchdown with a double move last season -- and dropped a deep ball that would have been a TD earlier in the game.
