HOUSTON -- Will Fuller has avoided the slow start many rookie receivers endure and leads the Houston Texans and all first-year players with 323 yards receiving.The speedy Fuller has also pitched in on special teams, taking the first punt return of his career 67 yards for a touchdown last weekend to earn AFC special teams player of the week honors.And still coach Bill OBrien is looking for more from the 22-year-old as he heads into his fifth game on Sunday at Minnesota .Hes got a long way to go, OBrien said. I know that sounds crazy to you guys, but hes got a long way to go. I mean he can improve in so many different areas.Fullers speed has always been his best quality, and it was only talked about more after he ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. But entering the draft, some wondered if his other skills were good enough to succeed as an NFL receiver.The 21st overall pick in this years draft quickly allayed those fears, grabbing five receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in Houstons opener to become the first first-round pick to have a 100-yard receiving game in his debut since 1984. In Week 2, he finished with four catches for 104 yards to become the first player drafted in the first round to start his career with consecutive 100-yard receiving games.Fuller has slowed down a bit in the past two weeks, with 31 and 81 yards receiving, respectively, but that hasnt stopped people around the league from taking notice.Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was asked about the challenges Fullers speed presents.Its nerve-wracking to say the least, he said. He is a big-play receiver and hes doing a great job.The soft-spoken Fuller hates talking about himself and simply wont discuss his early success.Im just moving on, he said. We still have a long season so (theres) a lot of room for me to improve. So Im not going to just dwell on something that happened last week.Quarterback Brock Osweiler isnt surprised that Fuller is off to a great start.Will has done such a great job through the first four games because of his work ethic, Osweiler said. A lot of players leave during the summer, and he stayed here. I think that says a lot about him. I think it says a lot about him as a person.Fuller believes that building a good relationship with Osweiler has been the most important factor in how his season has gone so far.Getting on the same page as your quarterback is a big thing, he said. He has to trust you for anything to start.Fuller is a meticulous student of the game, and OBrien said he often sees Fuller jotting down notes during meetings when hes being given tips or criticism.Hes a very bright guy, very hard working guy, he said. Really understands football. Hes an instinctive player. Hes done a good job of taking care of his body ... I think the college program that he comes from, Notre Dame, trained him very well in how to practice and how to do things off the field.Fuller doesnt understand why his note-taking is a subject of conversation and shrugged his shoulders when asked about why he does it.It just helps me remember stuff, he said. When I get a tip or something, I just want to write it down so I dont forget about it.Fuller and teammate and Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be challenged this week in facing a Minnesota defense that limited Odell Beckham to three receptions for a career-low 23 yards in a win over the Giants last weekend.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Adidas NHL Jerseys Outlet . Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov. 3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens. During last nights game he tweeted: "Hello?

Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys China . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Authentic Adidas NHL Jerseys . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. CLEVELAND -- Quickly running out of season, the Detroit Tigers picked a terrible time to have a messy game.They made three errors, gave Cleveland a gift, two-run double in the first inning and lost for the 12th time in 13 games to the Indians, 11-4 on Friday night to fall seven games behind the AL Central leaders.They just stuck it to us, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus. They were better than us.They have been all year.Justin Upton hit a pair of homers and drove in four runs for the Tigers, who have been outscored 90-40 by the Indians this season. Detroit, which is also trailing in the wild-card race, has six games left with Cleveland. But based on the first 13 matchups, it doesnt appear the Tigers are anywhere close to turning things in their favor.Really where they beat us is that their offense has killed us, Ausmus said. Theyve scored runs and weve got to find a way to stop them from scoring runs.Mike Napoli hit a gift two-run double in the first inning -- on a ball left fielder Upton lost in the dusk sky -- off rookie Michael Fulmer (10-7) and added a towering two-run homer in the fifth that bounced out of Progressive Field as the Indians lowered the magic number for clinching their first division title since 2007 to nine.Corey Kluber (17-9) worked seven innings, keeping the top of Detroits lineup in check and setting the tone for the Indians biggest series this season. The right-hander is 8-1 in 12 starts since the All-Star break and remains the one pitcher in the rotation Cleveland can count on.Kluber improved to 3-0 in three starts this season against Detroit.Hes got over 200 strikeouts, more than a strikeout an inning, and a Cy Young in his trophy case, Ausmus said. Hes a good pitcher, plain and simple.The Tigers were lacking in fundamentals and missed another chance to gain ground on the Indians, who have led the division since June 4. This was the first of seven games between the rivals over the next two weeks and the Indians made sure the Tigers didnt get any closer or gain any momentum.The Indians took a 22-0 lead in the first on a strange play.ddddddddddddWith runners at second and third, Napoli hit a fly ball with one out to deep left that Upton never tracked off the bat. As Upton helplessly looked skyward and drifted aimlessly toward the line, Napolis shot, which should have been a sacrifice fly, bounced on the warning track and over the 19-foot-high wall for a two-run double.It wasnt a pretty game, Upton said. If you play good baseball and lose, thats one thing. We didnt play good baseball.Napolis 34th homer gave the Indians a 6-1 lead.Jason Kipnis was on second with one out when Napoli, who proudly says he swings as hard as he can, whenever he can, sent a 2-2 pitch soaring over the wall in left. None of the fans was able to catch it on the fly and it ricocheted off the sidewalk, over the fence and into the plaza behind the ballpark.Uptons three-run homer in the sixth pulled the Tigers within 6-4, but the Indians tacked on a run in their half before Kluber retired Miguel Cabrera with a runner at third to end the seventh. Detroits first three hitters -- Ian Kinsler, Cameron Maybin and Cabrera -- went 0 for 11 with a walk off Kluber.TAMED TIGERSDetroit is just 2-18 in its last 20 against the Indians.UPTON FUNKUpton has 13 career multi-homer games, three this season. He has six homers in September.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: RHP Jordan Zimmerman, who has been battling a strained neck most of the season, will throw a side session Saturday. He has started twice since June 30, allowing six runs in one inning against Baltimore on Sept. 10.UP NEXTTigers: RHP Justin Verlander is 0-3 with a 9.18 ERA in three starts against Cleveland this season. Hes 9-14 with a 5.61 ERA in 25 career starts at Progressive Field.Indians: RHP Carlos Carrasco looks to bounce back after going just 3 2/3 innings in his previous start at Chicago on Sunday. Hes 2-0 with a 0.51 ERA in three starts against the Tigers in 2016.
