GLENDALE, Ariz. Cris Carter Jersey . - The Kansas City Chiefs got their must-win game off to a great start behind the versatility of Jamaal Charles.Once the second half rolled around, the Chiefs fell flat and may have flat-lined their playoff hopes in the process.Kansas City had two key turnovers and struggled to move the ball against Arizonas defence in the second half, leading to a 17-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday that puts a big dent in the Chiefs playoff chances.We obviously need to do a better job, take care of our business, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. We had every opportunity to do that today and we didnt get it accomplished.Both teams came into the game in desperate need of a win.Once the dominant team in the NFC, Arizona (10-3) had gone into a tailspin, seemingly clinging to playoff hopes through a rash of injuries. On the ropes, the Cardinals came through like they always seem to at home, rallying from a sluggish first half with a dominant defensive second 30 minutes to keep their place atop the NFC West.Kerwynn Williams ran for 100 yards after being elevated from the practice squad on Thursday and Drew Stanton threw a touchdown pass for Arizona, which has won its most games since an 11-victory season in 1925.I aint going to deny that we needed one big, said Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, whose team is 7-0 at home, said of the victory.The Chiefs (7-6) may have needed it more.They were one of the NFLs hottest teams just a few weeks ago on the heels of a five-game winning streak. A tough-to-take loss to winless Oakland set Kansas City back and last weeks loss to Denver knocked the Chiefs out of the AFC West race, clinging to wild-card hopes.The Chiefs got off to a good start against Arizona behind Charles, who was questionable after banging his knee against Denver.He showed no ill effects against the Cardinals, racing for a 63-yard touchdown on Kansas Citys third play from scrimmage. He went to the locker room after turning his ankle in the second quarter, but returned quickly to turn a short catch into an 18-yard touchdown that put the Chiefs up 14-6 at halftime.Kansas Citys defence held its ground against Arizona in the first half, holding Arizona to a pair of field goals by Chandler Catanzaro, who also sent a 36-yarder off the upright to close out the first half.After struggling early, Stanton started to find a rhythm late in the third quarter.He hit Michael Floyd on a 45-yard pass to set up Catanzaros third field goal, then found Jaron Brown for a 26-yard touchdown that put Arizona up 17-14 in the fourth quarter.Worse for the Chiefs on the Brown touchdown was what came right before. Tight end Anthony Fasano hauled in what appeared to be a 19-yard touchdown, but was called for offensive pass interference.On the next play, Alex Smith threw a wobbly pass that Alex Okafor intercepted and returned 26 yards to Kansas Citys 42-yard line.Quite a swing on two plays, said Smith, who threw for 293 yards and a touchdown on 26-of-39 passing.Kansas City crossed midfield late in the fourth quarter, only to turn it over again, this time on a disputed play.Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was originally credited with a 19-yard catch, but the officials ruled after review that he fumbled after being stripped by Deone Bucannon and Arizonas Justin Bethel recovered.Shocked. Either way it is a huge play in the game, Kelce said. It is my job to not even give doubt or put my team in that position.Catanzaro missed a 39-yard field goal on the ensuing drive to give the Chiefs a final chance, but they turned it over on downs to put the playoffs that much further away.NOTES: Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe had a highlight-reel play in the second quarter, when he caught a pass and hurdled a pair of Cardinals defenders to gain a few extra yards. ... Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had four catches for 34 yards after missing two games with a sprained left knee. ... Arizona starting right CB Antonio Cromartie had to be helped off the field early in the fourth quarter after suffering a left Achilles tendon injury and did not return.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Tyler Conklin Jersey.

Rookie Christian Vazquez got his first three major league hits and drove in three runs, while David Ortiz had three RBIs to break open the game in the sixth inning and lead Boston over the Houston Astros 8-3.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Enny Romero was watching Tampa Bays 18-inning win Friday night at home in the Dominican Republic and tweeted he was ready to pitch the following afternoon. Given an unexpected chance, the Rays left-hander made the most of the opportunity on Sunday. Romero combined with five relievers on a three-hitter in his major league debut, leading Tampa Bay over the Baltimore Orioles 3-1. Tampa Bay remained a half-game ahead of Cleveland in the AL wild-card race, and Texas dropped 1 1/2 games behind the Indians for the second berth. "Enny just shows up after he tweets that he belongs here ... so we actually read twitter," Rays manager Joe Maddon said with a smile. "For all our minor leaguers out there, get on twitter and you might end up in the big leagues for the playoff run. Its fun to watch that we can bring up somebody from the minor leagues, under these circumstances, against a very good team, and get that kind of result." Tampa Bay beat Baltimore for the third time in the four-game series. The Orioles fell 4 1/2 games behind Cleveland. "Well have to get little co-operation mathematically, but youd be surprised how quickly the outlook on things change in one days time," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Dating to the final 11 innings of the Rays 5-4 victory on Friday night, Tampa Bay pitchers limited Baltimore to two runs and 10 hits over 29 innings. "The pitching has been outstanding," Maddon said. "Weve gotten enough hitting. The defence has been great." Promoted from Triple-A Durham earlier in the day, Romero gave up Manny Machados leadoff single starting the game. But that was the only hit off Romero, who walked four and struck out none in 4 2-3 innings. "Very happy to stay here with the Rays," Romero said. "I appreciate the Rays called me." Romero was home Saturday when he got a call from his agent saying the Rays wanted him pitch the next day. He played catch before heading to the airport to catch a flight to Florida. Brandon Gomes (3-1) replaced Romero with two on and two outs in the fifth and struck out Machado. "Enny pitched unbelievable, so it would be a waste to have that not come thrrough with a win," Gomes said. George Iloka Jersey. Romero went 11-7 with Double-A Montgomery before throwing eight scoreless innings for Durham on Sept. 2. He also pitched out of the bullpen for the Bulls on Sept. 13 in the International League playoffs. Tampa Bays original scheduled Sunday starter, Jeremy Hellickson, came out of the bullpen Friday night and threw 2 1-3 scoreless innings for the win. Fernando Rodney allowed Danny Valencias single and an RBI double off an overhanging catwalk by Matt Wieters with two outs in the ninth en route to his 36th save. Scott Feldman (5-5) gave up three runs and six hits in 6 1-3 innings. "Basically were going to have win out and hope for the best on the other side," Orioles centerfielder Adam Jones. "We battle and we grind, and sometimes, as the saying goes, youre the bug and sometimes youre the windshield. The last couple days weve been the bug so we just have to get back to being that windshield." David DeJesus put the Rays up 1-0 on a leadoff homer in the first, a 10-pitch at-bat. It was his first homer since connecting on June 13 for the Chicago Cubs. Matt Joyce had a sacrifice fly and James Loney hit an RBI single during the sixth that made it 3-0. Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, hitting .263 with 29 homers and 77 RBIs, was a late scratch due to flulike symptoms. He entered in the eighth inning as a defensive replacement. Tampa Bay centerfielder Desmond Jennings, who reached on a bunt single in the sixth, left with left hamstring tightness after running toward second on a foul ball. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI NOTES: Maddon would like to see the wild-card playoff expand from one game to best-of-three. For those worried about making the season longer, Maddon thinks playing a doubleheader during the series could be a viable option. ... Orioles RHP Chris Tillman, who hurt an ankle during Thursdays game against Boston, remains scheduled to make his next start Tuesday. ... The Rays are expected to activate RHP Jesse Crain (right shoulder strain) on Monday. ... Tampa Bay selected the contract of RHP J.D. Martin from Durham to provide additional bullpen depth. He is expected to be designated for assignment Monday. Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Baseball Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys China Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys ChinaCheap Basketball Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys ' ' '
