GLENDALE, Ariz. Cameron Maybin Jersey . -- The Arizona Cardinals finally looked like the team they expected to be, even if it took a dozen games to get there.But Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden didnt like the way his team looked from Sundays opening kickoff.I feel like we underachieved today, he said after the Cardinals 31-23 victory, and thats very frustrating.The Cardinals (5-6-1) certainly understand. Theyve been underachieving all year. Sunday, though, they showed signs of that highly entertaining 13-3 squad of a year ago.Things started to fall our way a little bit, cornerback Patrick Peterson said. It looked like we picked up where we left off last year.Washington (6-5-1), despite the loss, remains in the thick of the race for the second NFC wild-card berth. It held that spot alone going into the game.Theres no talk of playoffs over here, Gruden said. Were trying to win the next game. Were not even thinking about playoffs right now. A lots going to happen these last four games, and if we get an opportunity to play in them, great. If not, were going to do the best we can at Philadelphia (next Sunday). Thats all I know.Arizona, despite all its problems, still has a chance, although it might take running the table over the final four games.Its tunnel vision, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. You know youre in it, your team is up there every week as a potential guy, but youve got to win games. You cant give one up down the stretch, and itll be another big week on the road (at Miami) this week.OFF CENTER: The Redskins lost center Spencer Long to a concussion early in the game, and the Cardinals big interior line zeroed in on replacement John Sullivan.He thought he held his own.Your adrenaline kicks up and youre ready to role, Sullivan said of how it feels to suddenly be thrust into the action. Reflecting on it, it wasnt difficult at all.Sullivan could be playing for a while. Theres no telling how long Long will be out.NFLS BEST?: The accolades were flowing in the Arizona locker room after another dynamic performance by David Johnson. The second-year running back carried the ball 18 times for 84 yards and caught nine passes for another 91.He is the second player in NFL history to top 100 yards from scrimmage in each of the first 12 games of the season. The other: Hall of Famer Edgerrin James.Arians compared him favorably to a young Marshall Faulk or James.Johnson was politely appreciative.It means a lot, he said. Its a great achievement just to hear that, just to be talked about amongst those great players. It means a lot because of everything Ive been through. All the hard work is finally paying off.ANGRY GRUDEN: Gruden wasnt just upset about the loss, he was angry. Just ask his players.Cornerback Josh Norman said it was probably as angry as hes ever seen the coach.Because he believed a lot in us and we put a lot on his plate and we just have to execute, Norman said.But this is what the NFL is about, Norman said, the ups and downs.This is what you sign up for, he said. Were out here playing hard. Its just we arent capitalizing and getting those wins.EAST WOES: The Cardinals head to Miami next Sunday, and that is not a good sign.Arizona has played at Buffalo and lost 33-18, at Carolina and lost 30-20, at Minnesota and lost 30-24, and at Atlanta and lost 38-19.The Cardinals loan road victory was at 1-11 San Francisco.Last year, Arizona was 7-1 on the road.RESURRECTED RECEIVERS: After a mostly rough season, Arizona wide receivers Michael Floyd and J.J. Nelson had some big moments against Washington.Floyd caught a 6-yard laser of a pass from Carson Palmer and then banged over the goal line for a touchdown.And Nelsons was the spectacular one.After a series of drops, fumbles and assorted problems, Nelson had arguably the games biggest play.In stride, between two defenders, the 5-foot-10 receiver caught a 42-yard pass between two defenders as he raced into the end zone. It was the score that provided the final eight-point margin.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Chris Young Jersey .

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump moved closer to nominating Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of State on Saturday, a decision that would bring a business leader with close ties to Russia into the Cabinet.Trump has privately signaled that he plans to tap Tillerson for the powerful Cabinet post, but had not formally offered him the job as of Saturday evening, according to people who have spoken with Trump and his transition team. Some advisers worry that Tillersons Russia connections would lead to a contentious Senate confirmation hearing and keep alive questions about Trumps own relationship with Moscow.Trump and Tillerson met privately in New York on Saturday, their second meeting in a week. The president-elects transition team said an announcement was not expected over the weekend.Tillerson rose to prominence through Exxons Russian energy business and was awarded Russias Order of Friendship. He has argued against sanctions the U.S. and European allies imposed on Russia after it annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.In an interview airing Sunday, Trump praised Tillerson as much more than a businessman.Hes a world-class player, Trump said on Fox News Sunday. To me, a great advantage is he knows many of the players and he knows them well. He does massive deals in Russia, he does massive deals, not for himself, for the company.Trumps own relationship with Russia was an issue through much of the campaign. The CIA has concluded with high confidence that Russia sought to influence the U.S. election on behalf of the Republican, an assessment Trump has rejected.The president-elects deliberations over his pick to lead the State Department -- particularly his consideration of Mitt Romney for the post -- have exposed anew the deep rivalries within Trumps team. Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway warned publicly that Trump supporters would feel betrayed if he were to choose a fierce rival for the post, especially given that some loyal allies -- most notably former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- also wanted the job.Giuliani officially took himself out of consideration for the Cabinet on Friday, though his standing had already been diminished. In addition to Romney, Trump has also been considering Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trumps team has discussed bringing Bolton on as a No. 2 to Tillerson.The people who have spoken to Trump and the transition team about the State Department decision insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the internal deliberations publicly.Internal divisions were also complicating efforts to set up Trumps senior White House staff. Longtime aides are fearful of being left out of the mix as incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus builds out the West Wing team. Trump had given Priebus wide authority in the decision-making over White House jobs.But four people innvolved in the transition said Trump was irritated after learning of his loyalists frustrations with Priebus in recent press reports. Ian Kinsler Jersey. Trump made his displeasure clear to Priebus, who has begun outreach to some of the people who worked on Trumps campaign from the start.Two of those sources said Trumps irritation contributed to a decision to hold off on announcing his pick to succeed Priebus at the Republican National Committee. Priebus, who is fiercely protective of the RNC, is said to back Michigan GOP chair Ronna Romney McDaniel for the job. She appeared at Trumps rally in Michigan Friday night, but no announcement was made.McDaniel, who is Mitt Romneys niece, is still likely to get the RNC job, a Trump transition official said.Priebus was among a handful of Trump advisers who traveled with him to Maryland Saturday for the annual Army-Navy football game. The president-elect was cheered by the crowd as he joined decorated officers in private boxes at the stadium and he pumped his fist in the air a couple of times.The president-elect flew to Maryland from New York, where hed met privately with Tillerson. Trump is said to be intrigued by the prospect of putting an international businessman at the State Department. Hes already selected others with predominantly private sector experience to his Cabinet, including billionaire investor Wilbur Ross for Commerce.The 64-year-old Tillerson is a Texas native who joined Exxon straight out of college in 1975 and never left. Exxon also has operations in Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, and many other countries. Africa and Asia were its leading sources of oil production in 2015, ahead of the U.S. The company says it has a diverse portfolio of oil and gas projects around the world to mitigate risks, including political ones.Tillerson has held posts in the companys operations in both Yemen and Russia. Success in the latter post required aligning the companys interests with that of the Russian government.Early in the companys efforts to gain access to Russian market, Tillerson cut a deal with state-owned Rosneft. The neglected post-Soviet company didnt have a tremendous amount to offer, but Exxon partnered with it to be on the same side of the table, Tillerson said, according to Private Empire, an investigative history of Exxon by reporter Steve Coll.Tillerson, who became CEO on Jan. 1, 2006, is expected to retire in 2017. Tillersons heir apparent, Darren Woods, was put in place a year ago, so there would be virtually no additional disruption to Exxons succession plans if Tillerson were to become secretary of state.---Associated Press writers Ken Thomas and Dave Koenig contributed to this report.---On Twitter, follow Julie Pace at http://twitter.com/jpaceDC and Julie Bykowicz at http://twitter.com/bykowicz Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Wholesale NFL Hoodies Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Wholesale NFL Gear China NFL Hoodies NFL Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap Jerseys Throwback ' ' '
