THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Jeff Fisher thought Jared Goff handled his NFL debut splendidly.The Los Angeles Rams coach isnt so happy with his prized rookie quarterbacks teammates after another winnable game slipped away and left their playoff hopes in peril.One week after Goffs promotion, Fisher is considering more lineup changes for the Rams (4-6) before their trip to New Orleans on Sunday. The coach cited Los Angeles eight penalties for 70 yards as the biggest reason for a dispiriting 14-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins.Its those things that are hurting us, and those guys have to understand, Fisher said Monday. So there potentially may be some different guys playing this week.Although Aaron Donald and Alec Ogletree arent going to lose their jobs, Fisher mentioned both of his defensive captains by name for ill-advised penalties on Miamis two touchdown drives after the LA defense excelled on the first 54 minutes.Any lineup changes are much more likely to occur on offense, where errors also abounded.Left tackle Greg Robinson drew Fishers specific ire for his latest bad penalty in a career full of them: An illegal block far behind the play to negate an 11-yard scramble by Goff into Dolphins territory for a first down in the fourth quarter.Robinson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 draft, is the NFLs most-penalized player over the past two seasons with 28 flags.Were looking at everything right now, Fisher said. We need production. We need to minimize mistakes, and weve got some repeat mistake-makers, so thats still under discussion.Fisher might change his starters, but he said he wont change his coaching staff this season. He gave a vote of confidence to Rob Boras, his offensive coordinator and play-caller.I have not given any consideration to changing play-callers, Fisher said. I did that last year. I have confidence in Rob, and the offense has confidence in Rob. The offense knows that right now, theyre not doing what they should be doing.Fisher replaced offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti with Boras in St. Louis last December while the Rams were mired in 31st place in total offense. Los Angeles is back in 31st place after 10 games this season, averaging a mere 299.9 yards per game.Fisher sees no reason to blame Goff, who went 17 of 31 for 134 yards with no touchdowns and no turnovers. His longest completion went 21 yards, and the Rams didnt call many long passes to test the rookies big arm.I was impressed with what he did, Fisher said. Hes not going to say he was OK, because we lost, but I thought he managed things well. No delay of games. He was in complete control. ... We didnt take our shots down the field that, in retrospect, we probably needed to do, but he knew where to go with the football. I was proud of his first outing. We get a stop or intercept a pass, one of the two or three we had our hands on, to win the game, and were talking about Jared right now and nothing else.Just as Case Keenum was rarely the problem during the Rams recent four-game losing streak, Goff was far from the most glaring problem for the Rams. Fisher thought the No. 1 overall pick handled his first start with minimal jitters, as did Dolphins coach Adam Gase.I thought he did a pretty good job as far as what we were bringing at him, Gase said. We were trying to pressure him a little bit, give him some different looks, and he didnt really seem bothered by much of it.Game notes Fisher is still gathering information to make a decision about CB Troy Hill, who was inactive after getting arrested Saturday morning following a freeway crash. I spoke to him briefly today, Fisher said of Hill, who has started four games this season. Very disappointed in him. Disappointed in his choices. ... LB Josh Forrest is probably out for the season after injuring his knee Sunday, Fisher said. The rookie from Kentucky has been a solid special-teams contributor. LB Nic Grigsby is likely to be promoted from the practice squad to replace him for the final six games.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL San Francisco 49ers Mike McGlinchey Jersey .

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Only briefly did UCLA appear vulnerable against top-ranked Kentucky. The Wildcats have been one of the hardest teams to beat at home, but they didnt have an answer for UCLA.The 11th-ranked Bruins made timely baskets and rebounds, a consistent combination that grabbed momentum and eventually the game from the Wildcats.Isaac Hamilton scored 19 points,?and?UCLA?beat?Kentucky?97-92 on Saturday. The Bruins victory marked their second upset of the top-ranked Wildcats in as?many?years.?TJ Leaf?added 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Bruins shot 53 percent from the field.More impressively, the Bruins won in their first-ever visit to storied Rupp Arena, where the Wildcats had won 42 straight coming in and 89 percent overall.I dont think there was anything about them today that was a feeling-out process, said UCLA coach Steve Alford, whose team regained the lead for good late in the first half. We talk about, Dont go in and jab around the ring to see if you belong. Youre 8-0. Youre playing well. Trust that you belong. That was the key thing that guys did from the tip.The Bruins (9-0), who entered as the nations third-ranked scoring team, matched their season scoring average to win this showdown of college basketballs winningest schools. Kentucky (7-1) cut a 14-point, second-half deficit to 95-92 on Derek Willis 3-pointer with 8.3 seconds remaining, but Bryce Alfords two free throws with 7.4 left sealed the victory.Besides hitting 35 of 66 from the field, UCLA outrebounded Kentucky 41-38 and limited the Wildcats to 41 percent shooting. It was the most points scored against a Kentucky team coached by John Calipari, who credited the Bruins for controlling the tempo against his talented freshmen.This is a lesson for us, said Calipari, whose team had posted three consecutive 100-point efforts coming in. We didnt have the energy. I had to call a timeout a minute into the game. I mean, just wasnt the same team. There are great lessons out of this. I wish we would have come back and won. ... But sometimes you need to get hit on the chin, especially at home.Hamilton and Leaf led another balanced offensive performance that featured 14 pointss each from?Lonzo Ball, Alford and Thomas Welsh, and 13 by Aaron Holiday.ddddddddddddMalik Monk had 24 points and DeAaron Fox added 20 for Kentucky, which fell to 124-5 at Rupp under Calipari.THE BIG PICTUREUCLA: The key point for the Bruins came seconds before halftime, when Balls 3-pointer provided a 49-45 lead to cap a 58 percent shooting half. I had the shot and I took it, said the freshman, who finished just 2-of-8 from long range and 5-of-12 overall. Coach Alford says to never hesitate. I wasnt hitting the whole game, but in the big moments, Im going to come through. I put it up and it went in. It was a good shot and a good way to go into halftime.The Bruins followed with a 9-2 run to open the second half for a 58-47 lead and kept their poise throughout with another team-wide effort that included 18 assists, six off their season average.Kentucky: The Wildcats overcame a 3-of-9 start to reach 50 percent from the field in the first half before a 1-of-8 spell to close the opening 20 minutes. They never got it going in the second half despite making 5 of 13 from long range. What bothered them most were the defensive breakdowns that allowed UCLA to get good looks.We werent focused like we usually are, Monk said. We have to be focused and ready to play day in and day out. If not, well get beat just like this.BEATING NO. 1sThis was UCLAs 12th victory over a No. 1 team, one behind all-time leader North Carolina.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Bruins second straight win over Kentucky figures to move them into the Top 10. Kentucky should tumble a few spots, though not many.MAYBE NEXT TIMEKentucky didnt hold a morning shootaround because of the midday start, and Calipari wondered if he should have after looking at the stat sheet.I just felt maybe they were mature enough to do this, he said. Im learning about this team.UP NEXTUCLA: Hosts Michigan on Dec. 10 in the first meeting between the schools since 2011. The Bruins lead the series 11-5 but have lost the past two in the series.Kentucky: Hosts Valparaiso on Wednesday night.
