| CLEVELAND - The Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, who are two of the leagues early surprises at 2-2 under first-year coaches, meet tonight as Week 5 of the NFL season begins. Buffalo and Cleveland have been sparked by opportunistic defences, and one team will emerge from a short week with momentum before the leaves drop and the weather along Lake Erie turns harsh and unforgiving. You can listen to the game live on TSN 1050 Radio in Toronto at 8:30pm et. The chance to play in the national spotlight has Browns nose tackle Phil Taylor revved up. "Oh, yeah, the whole world is watching," he said. "Every little thing you do, you know everyone is going to see it." Two weeks ago, the Browns seemed ready to slide into a hole and disappear. After dropping to 0-2, they traded star running back Trent Richardson to Indianapolis, a stunning move that had some Cleveland fans ready to storm the teams training facility with pitchforks and torches. But just when things seemed bleakest, quarterback Brian Hoyer, a lifelong Browns fan himself, rode to the rescue. Displaying poise and leadership he learned as Tom Bradys understudy in New England, Hoyer has been a revelation for the Browns, and now must deliver again. He kept the starting job this week despite Brandon Weeden being cleared to play after spraining his right thumb. "As a competitor, you want to be the guy out there on the field, so Im obviously excited about that," Hoyer said. For the Bills to keep making progress, theyll need more consistency from rookie quarterback EJ Manuel. He passed for just 167 yards last week against Baltimore, but Buffalos defence intercepted Joe Flacco five times to win. While all 32 NFL teams play on a Thursday — not so for Sunday or Monday nights — this is a chance for the Bills and Browns to prove worthy of future exposure. "If youre on Sunday or Monday nights it means you are bringing in the Ws," Taylor said. "Weve got to keep winning." Five more reasons for tuning in to see the Browns host the Bills: RUNNING ON EMPTY: Buffalos robust rushing attack may not be so healthy this week. Running backs C.J. Spiller (left ankle) and Fred Jackson (sprained left knee) both got hurt last Sunday against the Ravens. They were limited in practice this week and Jackson plans to play in a brace. The Bills are averaging 152 yards per game — second in the league — and theyll be facing a stingy defence limiting teams to just 79 yards and 2.9 per carry, a league low. "Theyre very strong," Bills coach Doug Marrone said. "They do a very good job of holding the edges." M-I-N-G-O, MINGO IS HIS NAME-O: Browns rookie linebacker Barkevious Mingo is a rising star. In just three games, the No. 6 overall draft pick has three sacks, knocked down a couple passes and would have blocked a punt if he wasnt held. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder seems to be playing in a different gear as he has blown past offensive linemen with ease. Mingo is the first player with a sack in his first three games since 2004. ROOKIE THIEF: The Bills have a special rookie linebacker, too. Kiko Alonso is a ball magnet. Alonso had two interceptions last week, including the clincher with 57 seconds remaining to secure Buffalos stunner over Baltimore. Through four games, Alonso has four picks and leads the team with 32 tackles, 19 solo. Alonso is the first rookie linebacker to have an interception in three straight games since 1980, and just the fourth linebacker to have four interceptions in September. HAPPY RETURNS: Browns CB Joe Haden hasnt returned an interception for a touchdown in his career — pro or college — and he wouldnt mind getting his first on national TV. Haden, whose coverage on Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green keyed Clevelands win, said hes been planning a TD celebration dance for years. "Before the games," he said, "Im always thinking, If I run this way, Im jumping in this way. Or if I run this way, Im jumping over here. Its seven years in the making. The dance has changed with the new music coming out, so Ive been waiting on it." BROWNS TOWN: At halftime, Cleveland will honour legendary running back Jim Brown, the greatest Brown of them all. Brown reunited with the only team he played for earlier this year by accepting a role as an adviser. There had been a bitter separation that caused him to skip a Ring of Honor ceremony in 2010, but No. 32 is back and will be saluted for his on-field accomplishments and contributions to the Cleveland community.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. http://www.airjordanukshop.biz/nike-air-max-2016.html .

Nike Air Max 2016 Uk Store . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap.NEW YORK -- Ivan Nova thought discovering he was tipping pitches in his start against Boston last week made the difference. Manager Joe Girardi simply attributed this outing to better control. No matter the reason, Novas stellar September start kept the New York Yankees in the AL wild-card chase. The right-hander pitched a six-hitter for his second career shutout, Eduardo Nunez hit a two-run homer and the Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants 6-0 Saturday. "We need to win games, and its no time to pitch the way that I pitched the time before," Nova said. Nova watched video between starts with pitching coach Larry Rothschild after giving up five runs -- four earned -- against the Red Sox. Nova thought he saw himself giving away some pitches, so he adjusted the way he held his glove, and he also worked on better curveball command. The adjustments made for a 108-pitch gem. A day before New York honours retiring closer Mariano Rivera in a pregame ceremony, Nova (9-5) gave the Yankees bullpen a rest with his third complete game, all this year. He struck out seven and walked one in winning for the first time in four starts following poor efforts against AL East rivals Boston and Baltimore. "I think he has a lot more confidence in his stuff," Girardi said. Brendan Ryan made several impressive plays at shortstop, Alfonso Soriano connected for the second straight day and Robinson Cano had an RBI single in a three-run third against Ryan Vogelsong (3-6), helping New York win for just the third time in eight games. New York (82-73) remained three games behind Cleveland (85-70) and 2 1-2 back of Texas (84-70) for the second AL wild card but moved ahead of Baltimore and Kansas City (both 81-73). The Yankees have seven games remaining, including three against wild-card leading Tampa Bay (85-69). "If we played like we played last night and today we feel like we can win every game," Soriano said. Soriano connected on the first pitch thrown by reliever Guillermo Moscoso leading off the sixth, giving him 17 homers and 50 RBIs with the Yankees in 52 games. He had 17 homers and 51 RBIs in 93 games for the Chicago Cubs. The Giants gave the many orange and black-clad fans in attendance little to cheer. They only had two baserunners reach second -- one the result of Soriano losing Brandon Belts flyball to left field in the sun for a double. Belt and Pablo Sandoval each hhad two hits for the Giants, who never put two runners on in the same inning.dddddddddddd. San Francisco lost for the eighth time in nine interleague road games this season. With a .458 winning percentage (71-84), the Giants are on track for the third-worst winning percentage for a defending World Series champion, trailing only the 1998 Florida Marlins (.333) and the 1991 Cincinnati Reds (.457), according to STATS. After Vogelsong retired six straight to start the game, the bottom three in the Yankees lineup reached opening the third. Mark Reynolds blooped a single over third base and went to third on a hit-and-run single by Ryan, who entered with a .197 average. Chris Stewart walked on four pitches to load the bases for Ichiro Suzuki. "It was upsetting for me from a mental standpoint. I didnt have a good mental game," Vogelsong said. "On the hit and run, I knew they were going to send the runner there and the cutter away but it ran up a bit. If that ball is where I want it to be its a groundball." Suzukis sacrifice fly put the Yankees ahead, Alex Rodriguez drove in another run with a spinning grounder to the left of second base that shortstop Brandon Crawford gloved with a nifty grab, and Cano tacked on a run when he sliced a single the opposite way through a huge hole between shortstop and third base. Nunez connected in the fourth on the first pitch he saw from Vogelsong for his second homer this season. Vogelsong was lifted after five innings. He allowed five runs and five hits in losing for the fourth time in five starts. Sandoval, the Giants third baseman, was lifted for defence before the start of the bottom of the eighth because his back tightened up. He is day to day. NOTES: Nova pitched a three-hit shutout against Baltimore on Aug. 31. ... Girardi said that while C Austin Romine (concussion) was cleared to play, he may not return this season because he still feels dizzy after working out. ... Giants manager Bruce Bochy visited Monument Park. ... Giants 2B Joaquin Arias will miss several games with a pulled left hamstring. Arias was injured Friday night in the seventh inning. ...
