KANSAS CITY, Mo. Wholesale Authentic Jordans . -- The Kansas City Chiefs felt on top of the world a week ago, when they were coming off a narrow win at Carolina -- mostly because they were suddenly on top of the AFC West.They sure didnt feel like that Sunday.Their offense continued to fizzle in the red zone, where Alex Smith threw a crucial interception in the fourth quarter. Their defense couldnt get Tampa Bay off the field on third downs, when Jameis Winston was able to repeatedly find Mike Evans and the rest of his wide receivers for first downs.The result was a 19-17 setback that changes the complexion of the Chiefs entire season.No longer are they fighting for the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Now, theyre fighting to make the playoffs.Its just one game. We have to figure out what went wrong and move forward, Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz said, trying to put things in perspective. It is an aberration, hopefully. Its not the type of thing a really top-tier team would let happen to them.Yet it happened. And it happened on both sides of the ball.So far this season, the Chiefs (7-3) have been able to bail out their defense by converting crucial plays on offense, while their defense has stood tall when the offense has been scuffling.When both sides went haywire Sunday, the result was obvious: a loss.We have to execute the plays. Thats the cause. We stopped ourselves, said running back Spencer Ware, held to 69 yards rushing in another dismal effort. We know what we need to fix and were going to continue to work on it as a team.That may be the biggest thing going for Kansas City as it tries to bounce back from its first loss since Oct. 2. There was no finger-pointing in an eerily quiet locker room, only resolve to fix the issues that have become the Chiefs biggest concern in the waning weeks of the regular season.On offense, its the failure to score inside the opponents 20-yard line.Kansas City came up empty on three trips two weeks ago at Carolina, and was converting touchdowns at a 40 percent clip heading into Sundays game against Tampa Bay. The Chiefs settled for a chip-shot field goal by Cairo Santos on their first trip, then Alex Smith threw an interception that spoiled their comeback.It also set up Tampa Bays touchdown march that essentially sealed the victory.Its hard when you get that far down there. The back line becomes another defender for them, Schwartz said. We need to be able to stick to it and be able to execute the plays.The interception was on a play designed to be a quick pass to a slanting wide receiver, but Tampa Bay safety Chris Conte never bit on it. He was there when Smith released the pass, and coach Andy Reid said later the fault for the call rested on his shoulders.We were rolling there at that point, Smith said. Had a good run on first down and were sitting there at second-and-goal, and you just cant have it. You cant throw it. Youve got to protect the play.On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs need to figure out ways to force fourth downs. The Buccaneers were 11 of 16 on third down, none bigger than Winstons pass to Evans on third-and-3 just before the two-minute warning. It not only gave them a fresh set of downs, but allowed them to run off all but the final 8 seconds of the clock.We didnt do a good job rushing the quarterback, said Chiefs pass rusher Justin Houston, who made his season debut after ACL surgery in February. He had plenty of time in the pocket. We didnt get in the pocket at all, no penetration. We have to do better.It didnt help that their secondary was missing top cornerback Marcus Peters, who has been dealing with a hip pointer. Peters hoped to play against Tampa Bay but the pain was too much.Now, the Chiefs hope hell be back for a Sunday night showdown against AFC West rival Denver.They need to have their other issues fixed, too.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.

Galatasaray said in a statement on its website Monday that Mancini signed a three-year contract and will be paid 3.5 million euros for the upcoming season, with his salary upped to 4. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jarred Cosart had difficulty getting to sleep, so he spent much of the night before his major league debut online and learned he was about to face the hottest team in baseball. Turns out he had little reason to be restless. The 23-year-old Cosart took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, and the Houston Astros beat AL Cy Young Award winner David Price 2-1 on Friday night to end the Tampa Bay Rays season-best, eight-game winning streak. "I try to stay off the Internet the day before, but I couldnt sleep last night," he said. "So I was messing around, I looked at the Rays website, I see: Streaking Rays, Price pitching, all that good stuff. "Its a natural instinct. Youre like, OK, theyre good." Cosart (1-0) limited the Rays, who have won 10 of 12 during a 14-game stretch against the American Leagues three worst teams, to a pair of walks before All-Star Ben Zobrist singled with one out in the seventh. Evan Longoria grounded into a double play to end the inning. Cosart also yielded a single to James Loney in the eighth and was removed after walking pinch-hitter Kelly Johnson leading off the ninth. Cosart threw 96 pitches, 54 for strikes. Cosart was he was "very nervous" before facing Price, who reached out to him on Twitter early Friday. "He tweeted at me this morning and said good luck, and most of all have fun," Cosart said. "I look up to him. Hes one of the best pitchers in the game. "That was my thing, not to go out there and try to be David Price or beat David Price. Hes a Cy Young winner, All-Star, all that stuff. I knew if I did that Id probably overthrow. I just wanted to go out there and be myself, pitch down in the zone." Carlos Corporans two-run, first-inning single provided all the support Cosart needed to beat Price (3-5), who allowed eight hits and struck out three in a complete-game performance. Four of the five Rays who reached base against Cosart were erased by double plays. Jose Veras gave up an unearned run on Luke Scotts two-out RBI single in the ninth, but struck out Longoria with the potential tying run on third base to notch his 18th save. "You watched him in spring training. The times he went out you could tell this is a special arm," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "What I like about tonight was the level of composure he displayed. "I just thought he did a great job of managing his emotions and really honing in on exactly how he wanted to pitch guys." It was the second straight day that a rookie right-hander made his big league debut against a reigning Cy Young winner. Clevelands Danny Salazar took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of the Indians 4-2 victory over R.A. Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Cosart was equally impressive after being promoted eaarlier Friday from Triple A Oklahoma City, where he went 7-4 with a 3. Authentic Jordans For Cheap. 29 ERA in 18 appearances, including 17 starts. He began the night by retiring nine in a row before walking Desmond Jennings to lead off the fourth. Wil Myers drew a one-out walk in the fifth, but was erased when Matt Joyce grounded into an inning-ending double play. Zobrist hit a one-hopper past diving second baseman Jose Altuve for Tampa Bays first hit. Loney singled leading off the eighth, but Houston turned its third double play to thwart the prospect of a comeback. Porter was reluctant to compare Cosarts debut with those of other young pitchers who have made an early splash. "I think a lot of times when you have guys come up who are top prospects, one of the worst things you can do is start throwing out comparables," Porter said. "Jarred Cosart will establish who Jarred Cosart is, and I want to give him an opportunity to do that. I think he has the stuff to be an elite pitcher in this league, and over time he will answer all those questions." Despite a rough first inning, Price was solid in his third start since rejoining the Rays from a 47-day stay on the disabled list with a triceps strain. He beat the Astros 8-0 at Minute Maid Park in his return on July 2, then held the Chicago White Sox to one run in a complete game victory last Sunday. The Astros loaded the bases in the first on singles by Jake Elmore, Chris Carter and J.D. Martinez. Corporans single to centre produced a 2-0 lead. Houston scattered four hits over the final eight innings, but only had one runner -- Matt Dominguez, who doubled leading off the fifth -- get past first base. "That first inning, that puts us in a hole. Thats probably part of the reason Cosart had so much success," Price said. "I gave him two runs before he made a pitch, and I know the difference in having runs, especially if you can get them in the first before you go out there." NOTES: With the All-Star break beginning Monday, Cosart will return to Triple-A Oklahoma City "so he can stay in turn and then hopefully rejoin" the Astros at some point this year," Porter said. ... Astros OF Justin Maxwell, on the seven-day concussion disabled list, will be activated on Saturday to replace Cosart on the roster. ... Before this week, only two pitchers had made their big league debuts against a reigning Cy Young Award winner since 2000 -- Edwin Jackson for the Dodgers against Randy Johnson in 2003, and John Danks for the White Sox against Johan Santana in 2007. ... The Rays went 24-20 while Price was on the DL. They are 10-2 since his return. ... After Tampa Bay pitchers struck out 32 in the final two games of a four-game sweep on Minnesota, Price fanned three on Friday. The franchise record for a three-game span is 42.
