OAKLAND, Calif. -- Latavius Murray ran for 114 yards and three touchdowns and the Oakland Raiders showed they were ready for prime time, beating the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos 30-20 on Sunday night.In what was being billed as the biggest game in Oakland since the team went to the Super Bowl following the 2002 season, the Raiders (7-2) put together a complete effort to overpower the Broncos (6-3) and take over sole possession of first place in the AFC West.Derek Carr threw for 184 yards and did not turn the ball over, Khalil Mack had two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery and the Raiders outrushed Denver 218-33.The performance was to the delight of an energetic crowd at the Coliseum, excited to host a prime time Sunday night game for the first time in more than a decade.Trevor Siemian looked shaky at times for Denver but did throw two touchdown passes, including a short pass behind the line that Kapri Biggs turned into a 69-yard touchdown catch and run in the fourth quarter.LIONS 22, VIKINS 16, OTMINNEAPOLIS -- Matthew Stafford threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate, who vaulted into the end zone in overtime to lift Detroit past Minnesota.After Matt Prater kicked a 58-yard field goal as time expired to force overtime, Tate finished the opening drive when he ran through arm tackles by Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith and leaped in for the winning score.Stafford completed 23 of 36 passes for 219 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Lions (5-4), who have won four of their past five games. Tate had 11 catches for 79 yards.Sam Bradford completed 31 of 40 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings (5-3), who started the season 5-0 but have imploded since coming out of the bye. Stefon Diggs had a career-high 13 catches for 80 yards.GIANTS 28, EAGLES 23EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Eli Manning threw for four touchdowns and New Yorks defense had two interceptions and three stops on fourth downs to beat Philadelphia.The Giants (5-3) won their third straight game, holding off the Eagles (4-4 after a 3-0 start) after Manning was intercepted with less than two minutes to go.Two of Mannings touchdowns went to Odell Beckham Jr., with the others to Roger Lewis Jr. and Sterling Shepard.Manning moved into ninth place in yards passing with 46,428. Manning, in his 13th NFL season, threw for 257 yards against Philadelphia. He passed Vinny Testaverde, who had 46,233 yards through the air.RAVENS 21, STEELERS 14BALTIMORE -- Joe Flacco threw a 95-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace, and Baltimore frustrated an ineffective Ben Roethlisberger in a victory over Pittsburgh.Baltimore (4-4) snapped a four-game losing streak and moved into a tie atop the AFC North with the Steelers (4-4), who have dropped three in a row.Three weeks after undergoing surgery on his right knee, Roethlisberger returned well ahead of schedule. Playing for the first time since Oct. 16, the 13-year veteran looked out of sync until the fourth quarter, when he directed a 75-yard drive that got the Steelers to 21-7 with 8:38 remaining.Before that, Pittsburghs offense produced only two first downs and was limited to 69 yards. The Steelers finished with 36 yards rushing, 32 by LeVeon Bell.Roethlisberger ran for a 4-yard score with 48 seconds left, but Chris Boswell botched the onside kick -- barely knocking it off the tee -- and Baltimore ran out the clock.CHARGERS 43, TITANS 35SAN DIEGO -- Melvin Gordon ran for a career-high 196 yards and scored the go-ahead TD on a 1-yard run, and defensive backs Dwight Lowery and Brandon Flowers scored on turnovers by Marcus Mariota to lead the Chargers over Tennessee, which still hasnt won in San Diego since 1990.The Chargers (4-5) won two days before the team will ask voters to approve a billion-dollar subsidy for a new downtown stadium to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium. The measure was polling well short of the two-thirds supermajority needed to pass.Gordon, who leads the NFL with 11 touchdowns, scored on a 1-yard run with 5:28 left in the third quarter to give the Chargers a 26-21 lead. He ran 32 times, and broke a 47-yard run in the closing minutes. He also caught four passes for 65 yards.Mariota, who led the Titans to a 21-19 lead by guiding two quick scoring drives on either side of halftime, helped the Chargers surge to a 12-point lead when he fumbled late in the third quarter. Lowery picked up the ball ran 43 yards for a touchdown and a 33-21 lead.The Titans (4-5) have lost seven straight in San Diego since 1993, when they were the Houston Oilers. The franchises last victory in San Diego was in 1990.COLTS 31, PACKERS 26GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Frank Gore rushed for two touchdowns, Jordan Todman had a tone-setting 99-yard return on the opening kickoff and Indianapolis held on for a win over Green Bay.Andrew Luck shook off two interceptions in the first quarter to finish with 281 yards passing and a touchdown. The Colts, who had allowed an NFL-worst 31 sacks coming into the game, gave their quarterback decent protection.Indianapolis (4-5) heads into a bye week with a confidence-building victory after surviving a vintage Aaron Rodgers comeback.His 3-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with 3:29 left got Green Bay (4-4) within five, capping a 14-point spurt in four-plus minutes.Rodgers finished 26 of 43 for 297 yards with three scores and an interception.SAINTS 41, 49ERS 23SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes to Michael Thomas and another to Mark Ingram, who also ran for a 75-yard score a week after being benched and New Orleans beat lowly San Francisco.Ingram, replaced by Tim Hightower during last Sundays 25-20 win against Seattle after fumbling for a second straight game, scored his second straight TD for the Saints on a career-long run to answer immediately after DuJuan Harris caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Colin Kaepernick. Ingrams run also was the second-longest in Saints history and he wound up with 158 yards rushing as San Francisco allowed an opposing 100-yard runner for the seventh straight game.The Saints (4-4) have grabbed back some momentum and returned to the race in the NFC South. They won for the fourth time in five games following an 0-3 start and eighth in the past 10 regular-season meetings with San Francisco. The Niners (1-7) didnt have nearly enough to avoid their seventh straight loss since shutting out the Rams to start the season.PANTHERS 13, RAMS 10LOS ANGELES -- Cam Newton persevered through five sacks to pass for 225 yards and a touchdown, and Carolinas defense shut down Los Angeles.Greg Olsen caught a touchdown pass in the first half and Graham Gano added two fourth-quarter field goals for the Panthers (3-5), who won their second straight after a four-game skid.Newtons offense managed just 244 yards against the Rams vaunted defense, but the Panthers nearly shut out Los Angeles in a defense-dominated game.Case Keenum passed for 296 yards for the Rams (3-5), who have lost four straight after a strong start to their homecoming season. Los Angeles scoreless streak reached 102 minutes, 12 seconds before Greg Zuerleins 25-yard field goal with 8:01 to play.DOLPHINS 27, JETS 23MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Rookie Kenyan Drake scored untouched on a 96-yard kickoff return with 5:15 left, and Miami won a seesaw battle with New York Jets.Jay Ajayi rushed for 111 yards and helped to run out the clock after the Dolphins came from behind for the third time.A botched Dolphins punt led to a touchdown that put New York ahead 23-20. On the ensuing kickoff , New Yorks Antonio Allen was called for being offside, so the Jets had to kick again. Drake took the kickoff, found a lane and sped past the final Jet -- kicker Nick Folk -- into the clear.The Dolphins (4-4) won their third game in a row, while New York (3-6) fell deeper into last place in the AFC East. The Jets hurt themselves with four personal foul penalties, two interceptions thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick and numerous missed chances.COWBOYS 35, BROWNS 10CLEVELAND -- Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and kept any talk for Tony Romo unnecessary, leading Dallas over winless Cleveland.Rookie Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 92 yards and scored twice and durable tight end Jason Witten had 134 yards receiving for the Cowboys, off to their best start since 2007.Prescott has won seven straight starts since losing the season opener, and with the Cowboys (7-1) leading the NFC East and getting better, theres no reason for the team to accelerate Romos return from a back injury.The miserable Browns (0-9) dropped their franchise-record 12th straight game going back to last season and are 3-27 in their past 30. They also started 0-9 in 1975.CHIEFS 19, JAGUARS 14KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City stuffed Jacksonville on fourth down with less than 2 minutes left deep in its own territory, preserving a victory despite finishing without five offensive starters.Nick Foles threw for 187 yards and a first-half touchdown toss to Albert Wilson, and helped to set up four field goals by Cairo Santos, as Kansas City (6-2) won its 10th consecutive home game.Meanwhile, the Jaguars (2-6) couldnt overcome four turnovers -- including a fumble at the goal line in the fourth quarter -- in their first game with quarterback coach Nathaniel Hackett directing the offense.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Fake China Jerseys .

China Jerseys Stitched . The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked easier than it really was," Ivanovic said. Jermaine Blackwood, Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich, Jason Holder. One Jamaican, three Bajans. Two beanpoles, two little guys. All of them 24 years old.On Wednesday, they made 63, 137*, 74 and 64*, and became only the fifth set of batsmen occupying numbers five, six, seven and eight to make 50-plus scores in the same Test innings. They saved a Test match for West Indies, and in doing so gave them a glimpse, perhaps, of a middle order coming together for the long term.Going into this Test match, each had a point or two to prove.Blackwood had come into the series averaging 11.14 in his last seven Test innings, and had made a pair in the first Test. Chase had only made his debut in the first Test. Dowrich had replaced a long-serving wicketkeeper-batsman who had scored half-centuries in his last two Test innings, in awkward circumstances. Holder was the gifted allrounder who hadnt yet carved out a niche as either batsman or bowler, but had already been burdened with captaincy.Blackwood seemed lucky to have retained his place here, at his home ground, but showed, in both innings, why he has been regarded as one of the brightest batting talents to emerge from these islands in the last few years.In both innings, he went after anything remotely full, was unafraid to hit on the up or over the top, and by doing so upset the fast bowlers lengths. To do this successfully, a batsman needs an uncommonly good eye, and Blackwood has that. But he remains a rough diamond. It had been apparent even in the overs leading up to his dismissal, when he kept playing a long way in front of his body, both while defending and on-driving, that he was in danger of getting caught bat-pad. He still needs to learn the art of playing spin with soft hands.Dowrich already knows it. Its an unusual way to praise a batsman, but his defensive technique against spin was best showcased when he edged the ball. Right through the series, he has used his bat like a cushion while defending, and nearly every time he edged the ball on Wednesday, it died well short of the slips. The slowness of the pitch helped, but his technique was blameless. Only once, when he tried to work Amit Mishra against the turn, did an edge threaten to end his stay. In between there were some stylish shots as well, such as a pull over square leg off Umesh, and an effortless flicked six off Ashwin.When Dowrich was given out lbw by Ian Gould, who had failed to spot a thick inside-edge onto pad, Holder walked in with a session-and-a-half still left to negotiate. He was the last recognised batsman. He had faced only 24 balls, and West Indies had only just gone into the lead, when India took the second new ball.Armed with this harder, shinier ball, Shami bowled perhaps the most testing spell from any bowler on the final day, moving the ball both ways off the seam. Holder survived it, not without alarm, and perhaps needed a bit of luck along the way, but there was skill too.dddddddddddd He played close to his body, bottom hand loose and ready to leave the handle. His height allowed him to ride the bounce of one particularly nasty lifter and, despite taking a knock on the glove, he kept it down, short of the keeper, with ease.All the while he kept putting away the scoring opportunities, standing up to his full height to slap a short ball from Ishant to the long-off boundary with a horizontal bat, pulling Shami, and, when Ashwin came back into the attack, driving him against the turn to the left of extra-cover.That last shot took West Indies lead to 50. Time was running out for India.And all this while, they had seen no way past Chase, the glue that had held all three partnerships together. Tall, imperturbable, and unusually still at the crease for a batsman of his generation, he had repelled everything they had thrown at him. Right from the start of his innings, when he calmly played himself in even as Blackwood went berserk at the other end, he seemed a batsman who knew his own game intimately.Chase seemed to like the clip through midwicket, and played it at every opportunity, even when he had to take the ball from off stump, even while playing against the turn. The cover drive, however, only came out when the ball was pitched right up. Not for him the on-the-up adventures of Blackwood. Early in his innings, he studiously ignored Ishant outside his off stump, until a half-volley finally arrived; when it did, he got his head right on top of the ball and drove it pleasingly wide of mid-off.He took his time getting used to the pace and bounce of the pitch, and was watchful against the short ball early on, but began to play the pull more frequently as the day wore on and the pitch slowed down. Against Mishra, he misjudged one sweep, attempting it off a ball that was a touch too full, but played it again next ball, with no thought of what had gone before, and cleared the square-leg boundary. He had chosen the wrong length the previous ball, but what connection did that have to this eminently sweepable ball?These were glimpses of a batsman playing the game at his own pace, and not letting what was around him intrude into his headspace. He made little adjustments, such as adopting a lower backlift when Shami and Umesh targeted his stumps with a reverse-swinging old ball, but otherwise kept it as simple as possible. Hands close to body while defending, eyes locked on the lifting ball, a clear idea of the whereabouts of off stump.Trite as it sounds, it was just the basics, done well, over and over, for the best part of 269 balls. The extraordinary thing about Chases innings, in only his second Test, was its utter simplicity. ' ' '
