KANSAS CITY, Mo. Clay Matthews Jersey . -- Alex Smith had every reason to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs season-opening win over San Diego, starting with the fact it came after the biggest comeback in franchise history.He had plenty of things to lament, too.The Chiefs offensive line got pushed around for three quarters, the defensive line was just as bad, and their secondary couldnt keep up with the Chargers fleet of speedy wide receivers.I think everyone knows how bad we played, Smith said after the 33-27 overtime victory. As great as it is to win, theres going to be a lot to improve upon, a lot to learn from.The same goes for San Diego.The Chargers raced to a 24-3 lead early in the second half, and still led 27-10 early in the fourth quarter. But Philip Rivers and Co. were unable to keep drives alive, Smith and the Chiefs capitalized on good field position, and the game was soon tied at 27 as regulation came to an end.San Diego never even got a chance in overtime.Smith marched the Chiefs downfield in 10 plays, then scampered into the end zone on third-and-goal from the 2. The touchdown completed their stunning comeback -- and the Chargers equally stunning collapse.You got to give them credit. They had an awesome fourth quarter and we didnt do anything to counter it, Rivers said. All of a sudden you look up and theyre in overtime.As both teams begin digesting a wild season opener, here are some of the key takeaways:ALLENS INJURY: The Chargers could be without wide receiver Keenan Allen the rest of the season after his knee buckled while making a cut in the second quarter. Allen had to be taken from the field in a cart, and coach Mike McCoy uttered the dreaded three-letter acronym ACL after the game.Were going to run further tests, he said. The way weve been doing it, the majority of teams, put a general statement out and when we get back home well further evaluate things.Allen had six catches for 63 yards before going down, and looked to be every bit recovered from the lacerated kidney that forced him to miss the final eight games last season.Its hard, McCoy said. Keenan has worked so hard to get where he is.CHIEFS CHURNING: Even without running back Jamaal Charles, who continues his own comeback from an ACL injury, the Chiefs were able to run their usual offense with backup Spencer Ware.The bruising back not only ran for 70 yards, including the tying touchdown with just over a minute left in regulation, he also caught seven passes for 129 yards -- one of them in overtime.He has a knack for making plays when you need them, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.CATCHING KELCE: The star of E!s reality TV show about a search for love, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce reminded everyone that hes a football player first. He had six catches for 74 yards, picking up a crucial third down that kept the winning overtime drive alive.GORDON WAS GOOD: Melvin Gordon ran for the first two touchdowns of his career Sunday. The Chargers first-round pick a year ago was a relative disappointment, never once getting into the end zone during his rookie season, but finally showed flashes of what made him a college star.Not that he wanted to dwell on his performance: We have to watch the film and look at every play and analyze what we could have done better, he said. Today wasnt enough.WHAT A RUSH: The Chiefs managed one sack without star pass rusher Justin Houston, out after knee surgery in February. Some of that had to do with an improved San Diego offensive line anchored by new center Matt Slauson, which spent three quarters pushing around the Kansas City defense.We got into a nice rhythm, Chargers offensive tackle Joe Barksdale said, but you just cant let them back in. At the end of the day, weve got to close it.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Robert Woods Rams Jersey . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19.

They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. NFL owners have approached the NFL Players Association several times in recent months about negotiating an extension to the current collective bargaining agreement, and they plan to initiate those discussions again soon, sources close to the situation told ESPNs Dan Graziano.One reason the owners want an extension is because they have exhausted all of the stadium credits that were negotiated in the 10-year deal with the players that was signed in 2011. The league is interested in trying to secure money to help fund a stadium in Las Vegas for the Oakland Raiders and possibly another facility in San Diego, sources said.The NFLPA would listen to the leagues overtures, but its likely the players would require somewhat significant concessions from the owners to agree to an extension at this point. Its also unclear what types of concessions would prod the players to the negotiating table. For example, the majority of players do not feel stronngly enough about the commissioners control over discipline to make it a major negotiating topic. Custom Los Angeles Rams Jerseys. he Las Vegas stadium project is one reason the league is interested in getting an extension done sooner rather than later.On Friday, the Nevada Legislature signed off on a plan to use $750 million in public money to build a stadium for the Raiders. The plan would raise hotel taxes by up to 1.4 percentage points in the Las Vegas area to fund a convention center expansion and build a 65,000-seat domed stadium.Raiders owner Mark Davis has pledged $500 million toward the stadium, $200 million of which would come from an NFL loan. Before the Raiders can move to Las Vegas, however, the team must apply for relocation with the NFL and get a three-fourths majority vote by owners to allow the franchise to move. ' ' '
