EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets kept getting close to the end zone.Most of the time, though, Cincinnati kept them out -- and it was the difference in the Bengals 23-22 victory in the season opener Sunday.Weve got to score touchdowns, Fitzpatrick said. We got down there plenty. Credit the Bengals. Theyve got a good red-zone defense.The Jets, who were the third-best team in the red zone last season, made five trips inside the Bengals 20 and they got off to a good start with Fitzpatrick connecting with Quincy Enunwa for a 3-yard touchdown on their opening drive.We didnt make adjustments, but we kept fighting, Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. We knew that at some point, we would have an opportunity to shift the game and make a great play.After getting down to the 4 on its next drive, New York stalled with two incompletions to Brandon Marshall and a catch for no yards by Bilal Powell. That set up a 22-yard chip shot for Nick Folk, whose low kick was blocked by Margus Hunt.We were just sloppy down there, Marshall said of the Jets red-zone struggles. Poor execution. Its something we pride ourselves on. Didnt get it done. ... That was the poorest execution Ive ever seen on our side in the red zone since Ive been here.New York rebounded in the second quarter with a 15-yard touchdown from Fitzpatrick to Eric Decker, which gave the Jets a 13-10 lead. Folk, however, missed the first extra point of his career.I take it on my shoulders, Folk said. I feel like I let the team down. If we make the extra point and the field goal, they need a touchdown at the end.The fourth quarter, however, was where the game really turned.Trailing 20-16, New York went to the ground game in a big way, running the ball nine times in 10 plays to get down to the 2. But on third-and-goal, Fitzpatrick misfired to Decker -- and the Jets had to settle for a 20-yard field goal by Folk.On Cincinnatis next possession, Mike Nugent was wide right on a 52-yard attempt that kept the game a one-point affair. It also gave the Jets terrific field position with just over 9 minutes left, putting the ball at their 42.A 17-yard catch by Enunwa and a 22-yard grab by Decker three plays later put the Jets at the Bengals 15. Matt Forte gained 3 yards on a run and Marshall had a 4-yard catch, but Bilal Powell gained just 2 yards on third-and-3 from the 8.Again, the Jets had to kick a field goal, this time a 23-yarder by Folk that put the Jets ahead 22-20 with 3:23 left.We made a big stop there, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.That also left plenty of time for Andy Dalton and the Bengals to put together the winning drive, capped by Nugents 47-yarder with 54 seconds left.Anytime you can get a win on the road, youve got to take these games, said Dalton, who was sacked a career-high seven times. This one was big. At the end, we needed to make a play. It was a great team effort by everybody.The Jets still had an opportunity to drive for a winning score after Nugents kick, but things got off to a bad start when Marshall dropped a deep pass over the middle.Next came an incompletion to Decker, and then Josh Shaw picked off Fitzpatricks next throw to Decker -- the Jets only turnover of the game -- to seal it for the Bengals.Im just happy, Lewis said. We kept pounding today and thats what weve got to do. Thats the thing all season: Just pound together and break through, and today, the breakthrough came late in the game and the defense had a big stop there at the end.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Grant Hill Jersey .

Joe Dumars Jersey . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. John Daly is one of the most colorful, controversial and popular figures in golf history.?Dalys grip it and rip it life is the subject of a new 30 for 30 documentary, Hit it Hard, which is set to debut Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.Its hard not to wonder what Daly could have accomplished on the course if he hadnt had so many problems off it. In this weeks edition of Four-Ball, our panel explores Dalys impact on the sport.1. Do you consider Daly an overachiever or underachiever?SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman: Unfortunately, I have to say underachiever. Daly possibly has the most natural talent of any player in the history of the sport; there is no way he could have ever won those huge tournaments without that immense talent. But its frustrating to see someone not maximize his talent over the past 20 years. If he would have taken things more seriously, who knows how many majors or tournaments he could have won.?ESPN.com senior golf writer Bob Harig: He is a huge underachiever. Get past all the drama, and Daly was an incredibly skilled player who could not only drive it a long way, but had a surprisingly good short game. Winning two majors as he did showed his talent, but its remarkable to think that Daly has nearly as many missed cuts and withdrawals (249) in his PGA Tour career as he has made cuts (273). Maybe Daly never would have been a prolific winner, but he had the skills to accomplish more.ESPN.com senior golf editor Kevin Maguire: An overachiever. Considering the inner demons Daly had to overcome in his life, albeit many of them self-inflicted, most people would not have had the wherewithal to reach such a high level in sports -- or in life. Winning one major championship can sometimes be a fluke. Winning two solidifies your place in golf history.ESPN.com senior golf writer Jason Sobel:?Sorry, but underachievers dont win multiple major championships. I understand the insinuation -- Daly had so much talent that if he played as hard on the course as he did off of it, he couldve achieved so much more. Perhaps, but that notion does a disservice to everything he did accomplish. In his prime, Daly was never the games most consistent player, but you can bet plenty of his peers would love to own his resume. Its not one of an underachiever.2. Which major win was more surprising, the 1991 PGA Championship or 1995 Open Championship?Coachman: No one knew who Daly was in 1991 -- he came out of nowhere as an alternate to pull off possibly the biggest upset in the history of golf. We knew Daly when he won his second major, which was a surprise, but not a monumental surprise.?I dont know if we will ever see something like 1991 again. Just awesome.Harig: The 91 PGA was more surprising, simply given the circumstances behind getting into the field. Few knew who John Daly was when he had to drive overnight to Crooked Stick as an alternate and only got into the field because numerous things occurred -- including Nick Price withdrawing due to the birth of a child. To then go on and win a major championship, without a practice round, is about as farfetched as possible, and yet Daly did it.Maguire: The 91 PGA, but only by the slimmest of margins. Dalys 1995 win at St. Andrews certainly came out of nowhere, but he had at least provedd that when his game was on, he could beat the best in the world.ddddddddddddAbsolutely no one saw that victory as the ninth alternate at Crooked Stick in 1991 coming, and if someone says otherwise, its pure fiction.Sobel:?Easily the first one. As a PGA Tour rookie, Daly was the tournaments ninth alternate, somehow got into the field and won it as a total unknown. If you wrote a movie script like this, it would be dismissed as too unbelievable.3. What do you remember most about John Dalys career so far?Coachman: When I think about Daly, his golf doesnt even come into my mind. Its his partying, his hustle and continuing to bounce back. I think he is an all-time good dude with a good heart, and its nice to see he has pulled it together for the Champions Tour. Hopefully, his golf can take center stage this time.?Harig: It is unfortunate that there was so much off-course drama involving ex-wives, drinking, rehab and weight gain/loss, not to mention his high-profile withdrawals and high scores in various tournaments. But what is most memorable is the way he attracted people to the game with the way he hit the ball off the tee. His length was prodigious, and he routinely hit drives more than 300 yards when that was quite uncommon.Maguire: The way fans loved him (and still do). He would draw some of the largest galleries at a tournament even when people had no idea what would happen inside the ropes. Often that was the appeal. Hardcore and non-hardcore golf fans alike were drawn to the mystery surrounding Daly. Sure, the everyman aspect of his story made things interesting, but no one crushed the ball the way Daly did back in the early 1990s.Sobel: I think Ill always most remember the swing itself. Way past parallel, then smoothly through the ball, compressing it into orbit. No golfer has ever combined Dalys strength, power and flexibility. Yes, the man was -- and still is -- flexible and has always owned a deft touch around the greens. Sure, others might first recall the rags-to-riches (and back and forth) tale or the hard-living lifestyle, but its that swing which will forever be ingrained in my memory.4. Fact or Fiction: John Daly will win on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.Coachman: Fiction. Daly can finish top 10, but Im skeptical on whether or not he can put three or four rounds together in the same week. It has been so long since hes been in the winners circle, and when it has been this long, its too high of a mountain to climb.?Harig: Fact. The results so far do not back it up, as he has yet to post a single top-10 finish in 14 starts. But Daly has battled injuries and lack of play on the PGA Tour. Hes going to need some time, but it will happen.Maguire: Fiction. Not being able to get consistent tournament starts for the past several years didnt help his transition to the over-50 circuit this year. Hopefully Im wrong on this, but I just cant see him cashing that winners check again.Sobel:?Fact. Here is a partial list of winners on the senior tour this year: Doug Garwood, Carlos Franco, Gene Sauers and Duffy Waldorf. No offense toward any of those champions, but if they can do it, so can Daly.
