One day after changing quarterbacks, New York Jets coach Todd Bowles admitted he botched the exchange. Alex Ovechkin Jersey .Bowles was so busy tearing into his team after an embarrassing 41-10 loss?to the Indianapolis Colts that he failed to inform Ryan Fitzpatrick he was being replaced by Bryce Petty for the final four games.Fitzpatrick learned of his permanent demotion from assistant coaches, moments before he faced the media. It made for an awkward news conference late Monday night because Fitzpatrick didnt seem to have the details.Reporters already knew because they heard it minutes earlier from Bowles.Id been meaning to tell him and I got tied up with a few things, the coach said Tuesday.He acknowledged he couldve handled it better.I probably couldve and he tried to cover for me, Bowles said. Like I said, I had a lot on my mind and got some things off my chest, and it kind of went over the wrong way. Ill talk to him [Wednesday morning].Bowles has come under fire for his handling of the quarterbacks this season, and this latest misstep provided more fodder for his critics.The Jets are 3-9, having lost four in a row. Monday night was the most lopsided defeat under Bowles. On Sunday, they travel to the woeful San Francisco 49ers (1-11), who have dropped 11 straight.Suddenly, Bowles, who went 10-6 in his first season, is facing questions about his job security. As usual, he spoke the day after the game with owner Woody Johnson, but he declined to say whether his job came up in the conversation.I know what my job status is and I dont worry about that, he said. Im going to do the same thing and keep grinding like I always do. The Jets seemed uninspired in the game, falling behind 14-0 before they made a first down. Afterward, some players questioned the teams effort, as did Bowles, who backed off on that Tuesday.Bowles insisted he still has control of the locker room.I dont believe I ever lost it, he said.We had a bad game. We had a terrible game, Bowles added. Thats without question. [The fans] have a right to think that, but I know what we have in this locker room and I know what we have in this building. So Im OK with that. Bowles said hes mulling lineup changes, but he already made the bombshell change by benching Fitzpatrick for the second time.Fitzpatrick will be the No. 2 quarterback for at least two weeks, with rookie Christian Hackenberg remaining the No. 3. Bowles said he has no plans to play Hackenberg, a second-round pick.Not unless Bryce gets hurt, he said. Right now, I do not see him getting any playing time. Hackenberg has received only scout-team reps, and it would be a disservice to the kid to put him in a game, according to Bowles. John Carlson Jersey .

Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. HOUSTON -- Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said she would do just about anything for junior forward Brianna Turner.That includes playing one of the strangest and longest games in college basketball in what was a homecoming for the Irishs All-America star.In one of the most bizarre scenarios imaginable at a major sporting event, top-ranked Notre Dame and Louisiana-Lafayette switched venues in the middle of their game due to a power outage. Even with the switch in venue and the delay, the Irish were too much for the Ragin Cajuns, winning 91-51 in a game that took nearly four hours to complete Tuesday night.I thought we showed great resilience to battle through all the adversity we had, McGraw said. The longest game in the history of womens basketball.The teams were playing at the Campbell Center in front of roughly 1,000 fans when a power outage caused a long delay in the second quarter. After calling around to local schools, the rest of the contest was played at Rice University, about 30 minutes away from the original venue. The teams bused over to Rice and picked up where they left off after a 2-hour, 35-minute delay. Notre Dame led 38-17 with 2:38 left in the second quarter.We had three options -- play tomorrow, cancel or find a place to play tonight, McGraw said. I think both teams wanted to play the game. We got here, we wanted to finish it, and coming back tomorrow morning to finish it didnt seem as much fun.Rices arena was available as the womens team played Grand Canyon on Tuesday night.The Notre Dame game resumed at 10:11 p.m. with about 30 friends and family in attendance as well as the Rice womens basketball team. The teams had a 10 minute warm-up, skipped halftime, taking just a brief break between the second and third quarters. The final 22 minutes took about 50 minutes to finish, making total game time about an hour and 30 minutes.I think you have to relax a little bit, McGraw said about how Notre Dame stayed focus. The girls were able to unwind in the locker room. They were able to stay upbeat and positive. For them, this is primetime. They are wide awake. It was the coaches I was worried about falling asleep on the bench.Turner, a Houston native, had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Irish.At the Campbell Center, it was very exciting when the lights went out, Turner said. I knew we thought we would be able to play there, but of course, we couldnt. It was so nice of Rice -- they played a game here, too, tonight -- to let us use their facilities and finish our game. Lucas Johansen Jersey. The game was originally stopped when the lights in the arena shut off and a couple flashes of light could be seen behind loading dock doors in the corner of the arena. Emergency lights came on in the arena soon after. Both teams were sent to the locker rooms with several pops and flashes heard and seen intermittently.Thats why I coach basketball because it is inside, and we dont have no rain delays or weather problems or anything like that, Louisiana-Lafayette coach Garry Brodhead said. I have never been to a game where we had to stop it, wait awhile, move venues, so I never even thought about it.The game was a homecoming for Turner, a junior forward who played high school basketball south of Houston. McGraw had tried to get some of the local schools to play the Irish, but couldnt pull it off, forcing her to play a neutral site game against the Ragin Cajuns.The team had dinner at Turners house Monday night. Turner went to high school at Manvel, which is about 10 miles south of Houston.Manvel High School cheerleaders, dance team and band were in attendance and donned lime green Irish shirts while playing the Notre Dame fight song at the Campbell Center, but they did not make the trip to Rice. Neither did former Irish great Skylar Diggins, who was at the Campbell Center.Marina Mabrey added a career-high 27 points.Jaylyn Gordon had 16 points and Jasmin Thomas added 15 points for Louisiana-Lafayette, which shot 31 percent but forced 21 turnovers.BIG PICTURELouisiana-Lafayette: The Ragin Cajuns stayed with Notre Dame for one quarter, trailing 19-15 after one. The second quarter was not kind for Louisiana-Lafayette, which started the quarter 0 for 9 from the floor and turned the ball over four times.Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish got in a groove and didnt let the delay affect them. Notre Dame hit nine of 12 from the field in the second and was in a rhythm defensively when the lights went out. When play resumed, Notre Dame did not let up. The Fighting Irish did commit seven turnovers in the first quarter, and that allowed the Ragin Cajuns to stay in it.UP NEXTLouisiana-Lafayette: The Ragin Cajuns will play Southeast Missouri State Friday as part of the Lady Eagle Thanksgiving Classic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish will host TCU on Saturday Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaNFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
