ding for the NFC South after a 6-2 start to being on the outside looking in at the playoff picture after losing four in a row — including a 52-21 beatdown at Pittsburgh in a nationally televised game Nov. 6.One problem for Rive

EAST RUTHERFORD http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jachai-polite-jersey , N.J. (AP) — Frank Gore moved up in the NFL record books with a history-making run — and helped deliver the Miami Dolphins a victory with a game-sealing catch.Gore moved past Curtis Martin for fourth on the career rushing list, Ryan Tannehill threw two touchdown passes, Kenyan Drake ran for a score and the Dolphins took advantage of several mistakes by Sam Darnold and the New York Jets for a 20-12 victory Sunday.But with the game still hanging in the balance late in the fourth quarter, it was the 35-year-old Gore who reached back into his playmaking past. On third-and-19 and the Dolphins nursing an eight-point lead, Ryan Tannehill threw a short pass to Gore, who got his hands on the ball and zipped up the field for exactly 19 yards before going down.“Frank made a heck of a catch there down low,” Tannehill said. “I was off-balance and the ball just went straight down on me. Frank did an amazing job of scooping that thing, making the catch and getting the first down.”The Dolphins were able to then run out the clock, giving them their first 2-0 start since 2013.Gore earned a game ball from coach Adam Gase for that play as well as his 8-yard run in the third quarter that put him behind only Barry Sanders, Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith.“It’s kind of mind blowing,” defensive end Cameron Wake said. “The team as a whole is honored to play with the guy.”Gore, in his first season with the Dolphins and 14th in the NFL, finished with 25 yards on nine carries.“It means a lot,” he said. “I’ve been doubted my whole life, coming out of college (at Miami) with the injuries that I had. People were saying I would only be in the league two or three years. I’d be done. I’ve been blessed to keep going and have success.”T.J. McDonald and Xavien Howard each intercepted Darnold Chuma Edoga Jersey , and punter Matt Haack consistently put the Jets (1-1) in lousy field position to start drives.Tannehill finished 17 of 23 for 168 yards and also ran for 44 yards on eight carries for the Dolphins, coming off a win in the longest NFL game since 1970 merger by outlasting Tennessee in 7 hours, 8 minutes last Sunday.“What we’re doing out there is close to what we’re looking to do,” Gase said of his team. “We just have to do a few things better.”SAM’S STARTAfter a solid NFL debut, the 21-year-old Darnold struggled a bit in this one. He was 25 of 41 for 334 yards and a touchdown with the two INTs in his second NFL start, but struggled to get the offense moving.The Jets will have a short turnaround, with New York traveling to winless Cleveland to play Thursday night.“Just missed opportunities,” Darnold said. “I think that goes for every game where you look at all the plays you wish you could have back. Again, short week, got a game Thursday and we’ve got to right back to it tonight.”Darnold got off to a much better start than in the Jets’ opener in Detroit, when his first NFL pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. But on the Jets’ second possession in this one, Darnold turned it over when his pass intended for Quincy Enunwa was intercepted by McDonald.Three plays later, Drake took the handoff from Tannehill up the middle for a 6-yard run to give the Dolphins a 7-0 lead.Miami took advantage of another turnover after Darnold completed a 10-yard pass to Robby Anderson, who had the ball knocked out of his hands by Kiko Alonso. Raekwon McMillan recovered for the Dolphins at the Jets 49, giving Miami a short field. Albert Wilson scored on a 29-yard catch to make it 14-0.MORE MISCUESThe Jets made another mistake that had the effect of a turnover when Henry Anderson’s sack of Tannehill on third-and-6 was negated by a holding penalty on Morris Claiborne http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-trevon-wesco-jersey , keeping the Dolphins’ drive alive. Two plays later, Tannehill connected with A.J. Derby for a 19-yard touchdown, although Jason Sanders missed the extra point.New York showed some life starting with a 44-yard completion from Darnold to Terrelle Pryor. On second-and-10 from the 14, Darnold completed a short pass to Chris Herndon, who fumbled, recovered and tried to get into the end zone, but was tackled at the 1 as time expired.Darnold and the Jets answered right back to begin the third quarter with a solid drive capped by a 28-yard touchdown catch by Bilal Powell. Jason Myers missed the extra point, making it 20-6.The Jets, coming off a 48-17 rout of Detroit on Monday night, appeared in great shape when Jordan Jenkins forced and recovered a fumble after a strip-sack of Tannehill gave New York the ball at the Miami 12. But, Darnold’s pass to Pryor on the next play was intercepted in the end zone by Howard.“We turned the ball over in our red zone,” coach Todd Bowles said. “We had a turnover in their red zone that led to points. We have to make sure we take care of the football.”After Avery Williamson recovered a fumbled shotgun snap by Tannehill late in the third quarter, the Jets capped an 11-play drive with a 55-yard field goal by Myers. Myers added a 41-yarder with 5:56 remaining.INJURIESJets TE Neal Sterling left with a concussion early in the second quarter and didn’t return.ANTHEMDolphins wide receivers Wilson and Kenny Stills were the only two players to kneel during the national anthem.All of the Jets players linked arms, along with coach Todd Bowles and CEO Christopher Johnson while standing together on the sideline during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”UP NEXTDolphins: home vs. Oakland next Sunday.Jets: at Cleveland on Thursday night. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Desperate to shake things up amid a four-game losing streak Clelin Ferrell Jersey , Panthers coach Ron Rivera announced Monday he is taking over defensive playing calling dutiesIn addition to demoting defensive coordinator Eric Washington, the Panthers also fired defensive line coach Brady Hoke and assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach Jeff Imamura. The moves were announced after Rivera met with owner David Tepper and general manager Marty Hurney on Monday morning.“Everything that I do is in the best interest of this team,” Rivera said at a news conference, adding that his meeting with the owner did not influence his decision. “We do things to win.”Washington will remain defensive coordinator and have some input on the game plan for Sunday’s game at Cleveland, but will oversee the front seven instead of the entire defense. He served as the team’s defensive line coach for seven seasons before being promoted to coordinator this past offseason when Steve Wilks left to become head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.Sam Mills III will lead the defensive line and Rivera will work with Richard Rodgers in the secondary.Rivera, a former defensive coordinator in Chicago (2006-08) and San Diego (2008-10), said he “helped out” with defensive play calls in Sunday’s following a 24-17 loss to Tampa Bay. He got more engaged after the Buccaneers drove the length of the field on the game’s opening drive and scored a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead.Rivera said while Tepper didn’t influence his decision, he added that he keeps the owner and GM “informed of the decisions going forward for this football team.”The coach wouldn’t elaborate on the specifics of why he decided to make the changes now. Though the problems are pretty evident.The Panthers are 14th in the league in defense under Washington and have allowed the 12th most points in the NFL. Carolina’s defense, long known for its knack for creating takeaways and pressuring the quarterback, has forced just one turnover in the past four games and is tied for 19th in the league in sacks.“In watching and looking, this puts me in the middle of everything as far as the defense is concerned,” Rivera said. “I have a bit of experience at play calling and putting defenses together. It’s an opportunity for me to work even closer with him to help him out as we go forward. Y’all got to remember your first time doing something. You weren’t perfect and somebody had to help you. That’s really what I’m here for.”Panthers 15-year veteran safety Mike Adams said he’s not sure how much will change with Rivera at the helm, saying he has been helping Washington most of the season.In his view, the Panthers aren’t performing up to expectations — and that’s on the players.“The tradition of the Panthers defense is when you put us on the field in the past and the game is on the line, you know we’re going to win and close out — and we haven’t done that as much this year http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-josh-jacobs-jersey ,” Adams said.The changes also come at time when there are questions about Rivera’s own job security. The Panthers have been to the playoffs four of the past five seasons under Rivera, who signed a two-year contract extension worth $15.5 million in January that runs through 2020.Rivera declined to talk about whether Tepper has put him on notice.“Quite honestly, if you know Mr. Tepper that’s not his style,” Rivera said. “He’s very up front, very forward. I’ve been very fortunate to have a good collaboration between him, myself and the general manager.”Rivera, a two-time NFL coach of the year with a 70-53-1 record as the Panthers head coach, has seen his team go from contending for the NFC South after a 6-2 start to being on the outside looking in at the playoff picture after losing four in a row — including a 52-21 beatdown at Pittsburgh in a nationally televised game Nov. 6.One problem for Rivera has been a carousel of defensive coordinators, which he acknowledged has been difficult.Washington is Carolina’s third in three seasons. Rivera’s previous two coordinators, Sean McDermott and Wilks, left to take head coaching positions.He briefly addressed reports that Tepper is getting antsy and mulling new hires if Rivera didn’t get things turned around.“I’m not going to deal in conjecture,” Rivera said. “What I’m going to deal with is the facts. Until I see a comment that has his name attached to it being quoted, I’m not worry about it. I’m going to focus in on my job, and my job is getting ready for Cleveland.”
