KANSAS CITY, Mo. Milwaukee Brewers Gear . -- 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 Jordan Lyles Brewers Jersey . Pettersen, winner of last years Evian Championships, had nine birdies and three bogeys, holding off a series of challengers led by Marion Ricordeau of France.

Pedro scored from a pass by Lionel Messi in the 33rd minute and added two more goals in the 47th and 72nd after Valdes saved his second penalty in four days following his stop in Wednesdays 4-0 over Ajax in the Champions League. https://www.cheapbrewers.com/329y-drew-p...ey-brewers.html . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. From the first major event of the season, in Australia, to the final weekend of the year, the pool of barn-burning matches did not lack.Here are our top 10 matches of 2016:1. Juan Martin del Potro def. Andy Murray 6-4, 5-7, 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4, Davis Cup semifinals A few weeks after their Rio de Janeiro classic, del Potro met Murray again, this time in Glasgow for a Davis Cup tie. This match provided a running time in excess of five hours and also a different ending with del Potro as the victor. The win was merely a harbinger for del Potro, who carried his magic into the Davis Cup final in late November, where he memorably beat Marin Cilic in a hair-raising 6-7(4), 2-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 win, which was just seven minutes shy of five hours.2. Petra Kvitova def. Angelique Kerber 6-7 (10), 7-5, 6-4, Wuhan Open third roundAll you need to know about this match was the epic, lung-busting 41-shot rally that in the end was only a sample of their 3-hour, 20-minute match. Kvitova had no fear all day long, bringing it to the newly minted world No. 1. It was a promising showing from Kvitova, who played with little consistency all year long.3. Roger Federer def. Marin Cilic 6-7(4), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(9), 6-3, Wimbledon quarterfinals Federer called this one epic as he came back from two sets down, including saving three match points along the way, to defeat Cilic in their Wimbledon quarterfinal. Im probably going to look back on this as being a great, great match that I played in my career, on Centre Court at Wimbledon, Federer said to the press afterward. This is huge for me, my season, my career. It was the 10th time Federer had come back from a two-set deficit.4. Angelique Kerber def. Serena Williams 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, Australian Open finalWhat better way to win a first Grand Slam title than to defeat Serena in the final? And to do so with great power and poise, which also prevented Williams from drawing level with Steffi Grafs 22 majors. Well, thats exactly how this years three-set Australian Open final played out for Germanys Kerber, who was left with goosebumps. My whole life, Ive worked hard, she told the press afterward. To say, I am a Grand Slam champion is crazy.5. Andy Murray def. Milos Raonic 5-7, 7-6(5), 7-6(9), ATP World Tour Finals semifinalsMurrays talent as an escapologist was apparent when saving a match point in his semifinal against Raonic in London. At 3 hours, 38 minutes, it was the longest-ever three-set match in the history of the tournament (exttending a record Murray had just set only days earlier when taking 3 hours, 20 minutes to defeat Kei Nishikori in the group stages). Lorenzo Cain Brewers Jersey. This was a victory freighted with significance as it propelled Murray into the finals, whered hed beat Novak Djokovic to clinch the year-end No. 1.6. Andy Murray def. Juan Martin del Potro 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, Rio Olympics finalMurrays four-set, four-hour victory against del Potro in the Olympic final will be remembered for the brutal rallies. Murray had never played a harder match to win a big title, and del Potro was so physically spent that he felt dizzy and close to passing out. Body parts were dropping off; the Argentine said he left the last of his toenails on the court.7. Karolina Pliskova def. Venus Williams 4-6 6-4 7-6 (3), US Open fourth roundAt 36 years old, Williams had a point to become the oldest Grand Slam quarterfinalist since 1994. And I really played the perfect point, but she managed to stay alive, Williams said after losing to Pliskova. The Czech would go on to defeat Venus younger sister, Serena, in the semifinal before finishing as the runner-up to Angelique Kerber.8. Dominika Cibulkova def. Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 5-7, 9-7, Wimbledon fourth roundCibulkovas three-hour win against Radwanska at the All England Club was the toughest match of her career. It might also have been among the most satisfying. Cibulkova saved a match point and ultimately reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for the first time.9. Nick Kyrgios def. Dustin Brown 6-7 (7), 6-1, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, Wimbledon second round Kyrgios had promised a circus before his second-round match at Wimbledon against his friend Brown, with each playing an exciting and flamboyant brand of tennis. And a circus was what we got. In their own way, both brought some chaos and disorder to the grass. Kyrgios five-set victory was not without incident. He was given a code violation for swearing and let it be known he thought some of umpire Jake Garners decisions had been horrendous.10. Stan Wawrinka def. Dan Evans 4-6, 6-3, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (8), 6-2, US Open third roundEvans fittingly called the loss just a bit of a heartbreaker. Evans, ranked No. 63, had a match point against Wawrinka but failed to capitalize in the fourth-set tiebreaker. Wawrinka dodged defeat and would go on to win the title for the first time. ' ' '
