导出博客文章NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- To Derek Carr, its time for all the critics to stop picking
on the Oakland Raiders defense.Carr threw for 249 yards and a touchdown, and the
Raiders beat the Tennessee Titans 17-10 on Sunday with their defense finally
coming up with some big plays.They won the game for us, Carr said. That right
there was a prime example of what Ive seen every day in practice. Thats why I
kept saying what I was saying. Its hard to complete balls against them.The
Raiders (2-1) forced three turnovers and had a sack after coming into this game
having given up more yards than any team since at least 1940 through the first
two games. Coach Jack Del made a couple of lineup changes, starting linebacker
Cory James and rookie safety Karl Joseph, their top draft pick.Oakland took
control in the second quarter, scoring 10 points and outgaining the Titans
129-40 to take a 17-3 lead into halftime.The Titans (1-2) rallied from a 15-3
deficit a week ago in beating Detroit 16-15 , and they thought they at least had
forced overtime when Marcus Mariota found Andre Johnson alone in the end zone
for a touchdown. But officials flagged Johnson for interference on Raiders
cornerback TJ Carrie.If he wouldnt have fell down, it wouldnt have been called,
Johnson said.Two plays later, Carrie appeared to grab Harry Douglas in the end
zone on the Titans final play with no flag thrown. Carr knelt to run out the
clock as the Raiders escaped with a win.Titans coach Mike Mularkey said he
needed to watch the tape on some of the plays.I need to be careful, Mularkey
said.LEWANS PENALTY: Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan may have had the costliest
penalty. He apologized to his teammates for an unnecessary roughness penalty
that backed the Titans from the Oakland 3 to the 18 with 50 seconds left.Tajae
Sharpe caught a 19-yard pass and was being tackled when Lewan flew in to clean
up the pile. Officials flagged him, costing Tennessee first-and-goal at the 3
with 50 seconds left to first-and-10 at the Raiders 18. Asked about the penalty,
Mularkey said Lewan and the Raiders thought the play was still alive.Everybody
but the officials, Mularkey said.MARIOTAS TURNOVERS: Mariota turned the ball
over three times, and the No. 2 pick overall in the 2015 draft now has lost
three fumbles with four interceptions already this season. The Raiders turned a
fumble forced by Bruce Irvin into a field goal and a 10-3 lead. That was all the
points the Raiders got off his mistakes.NICE OPENING: Latavius Murray didnt
touch the ball on Oaklands opening drive until he was handed the ball on the
final play. Then, he ran 22 yards up the middle for a touchdown to put the
Raiders ahead to stay. Carr also tossed a 19-yard TD pass to Seth Roberts late
in the second quarter against a Tennessee defense that had allowed only one
offensive TD through the first two games.NFL RECORD: Raiders kicker Sebastian
Janikowski became the NFLs career leader in field goals made from 50 yards and
out when he connected from 52 with 8:13 left in the second quarter. He gave the
Raiders a 10-3 lead on the 53rd field goal of 50 or more yards for the 17-year
veteran, which broke a tie with Jason Hanson, who had 52 such field goals in 21
NFL seasons. His field goal came after a holding penalty wiped out a TD pass by
Carr.MR. MURRAY: Murray, the NFLs 2014 offensive player of the year, helped the
Titans get back into the game. He reeled off a 36-yard run with the Titans
backed up near the own end zone, and he capped a 93-yard drive by outracing a
pair of Oakland defenders around the right side to the end zone for a 5-yard TD
with 5:51 left in the third quarter. It was Murrays first TD running the ball
this season.He also ran for 114 yards on 16 carries to become the first running
back to reach 100 yards in a game since the 2013 season finale.---AP NFL

The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the
season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the
Bell Centre. YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Sebastian Vettel admits Ferrari cannot be
proud of 2016, but says fans and pundits have not seen the strong way the team
has responded to its frustrating year.Ferrari looks likely to finish 2016
without a win to its name for the second time in three years. It came into 2016
with high hopes of a championship challenge but has dropped from second to third
in the pecking order behind Red Bull.Vettel admits there is little to be happy
about from a performance stand-point.Overall I think the car is a very good step
from last year and I think our performance was probably better than the results
we have shown at times but the circumstances havent always been the best, Vettel
said. Nevertheless, we cant be proud of this year because we came through the
season wanting to fight for the championship and we did not soo it is the target
for next year, that is very clear.ddddddddddddIt is an enormous challenge for
all of the teams including ourselves to get the cars ready for next year with so
many changes but that is what we are here for.Vettel is impressed with the
attitude he has seen within the team and how Ferrari employees have reacted to
adversity, which included parting ways with technical director James Allison
mid-way through the season.I think the strongest point we have is the spirit
inside the team. Very often this year we might have been criticised but we are
working very hard, people are very committed here. I have said many times we
wanted something more this year but for many reasons it didnt happen.
