Former Chiefs player Kadarius Toney arrested in Georgia

 

 

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's former teammate Kadarius Toney was arrested before Super Bowl LIX after he was accused of strangling a woman

 The report, wich was first published by TMZ Sports, says that the former Kansas City Chiefs player put his hands around a woman's throat during a dispute on January 14th.

The woman reported that she was unable to breathe and was left with red marks on her neck and petechial hemorrhaging in her eyes.

Patrick Mahomes’ Dad and Former MLB Pitcher John Rocker Get in Fight

The retired MLB aces interaction on Bourbon Street could be a preview of a future boxing match between the two

It was a pitchers’ duel in the Big Easy — or was it all staged to promote a future boxing match?

 In a Barstool Sports video shared to social media, Patrick Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker, former MLB aces, nearly came to fisticuffs while interacting along Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

  In the clip, the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes refused Rocker’s handshake greeting after the latter emerged from a bar with a drink in hand.

The retired athletes began yelling at one another while those in their parties tried to separate the two.

“What are you talking about?” Rocker, 50, could be heard saying at one point in the altercation.

 On Tuesday, the former Atlanta Braves reliever and the former Texas Rangers pro each responded to the video.

 “This f---ing loser can't take a damn joke,” Rocker wrote and reposted the video. “Wish I laid him out right there and ruined his bulls--- weekend even more.” 

“John Rocker is a menace to society,” Mahomes, 54, pushed back.

It was not immediately made clear when the video was taken. On Sunday, Feb. 9, the Philadelphia Eagles stunned the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl 2025.

The scuffle comes amid speculation that the two could be meeting inside the boxing ring soon.

In an interview in New Orleans, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy confirmed that he wasn’t “100% sure” but that Rocker and Mahomes Sr. may face off in a “Rough ‘N’ Rowdy” boxing event sponsored by the company.

The prospective match comes after a difficult year for Mahomes Sr., who served a 10-day jail sentence in October 2024 after pleading guilty to his third charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI) on Feb. 3, 2024, just days before his son won a third Super Bowl for the Chiefs.

Rocker notably drew headlines in 1999 when he made a series of disparaging and racist comments in a Sports Illustrated interview.

Darren Sproles' season over after dual injuries on same play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles tore an ACL and broke an arm on the same play Sunday, coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday, calling it a "double whammy."

Sproles is having surgery on his arm Monday and will require surgery on his knee, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter. His season is over.

Pederson said the Eagles will look to add a running back in the coming days.

"It's a devastating loss, obviously, with the punt return and special-teams aspect of it," Pederson said.

Sproles was injured in the first half against the New York Giants following an awkward plant and hit from safety Darian Thompson. Trainers were originally looking at Sproles' knee, but he was able to walk off under his own power, holding his right arm in obvious pain as he headed indoors. Replays showed that Thompson's foot inadvertently hit Sproles on the arm.

The 34-year-old running back held a key role in the Eagles rotation. LeGarrette Blount and Wendell Smallwood received the bulk of the carries in his absence Sunday.

Smallwood and rookie Corey Clement are expected to take on larger roles on offense, including on third down, while wide receiver Torrey Smith will take over as punt returner for now.

Sproles, a three-time Pro Bowler, rushed for 61 yards this season on 15 carries. He also had seven receptions for 73 yards.

"It can be a blow [from a morale perspective]," Pederson said. "He's a great man, he's a great leader, well-liked obviously on this team and in this locker room and in this community. He's a lot of energy, and that's hard to replace."

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (calf) and starting linebacker Jordan Hicks (ankle) also were injured against the Giants. Pederson said both players are day to day.

Aaron Judge Breaks Mark McGwire's Rookie Home Run Record In Historic First Season

In a year that has featured a record number of home runs, no player has symbolized the surge quite like Aaron Judge. Built like a super-sized version of Giancarlo Stanton, the 6' 7", 282-pound behemoth owns the longest (495 feet) and hardest-hit (121.1 mph) home runs of 2017 according to Statcast. As of Monday afternoon, he now owns the rookie record for home runs in a season as well as the AL lead. In an afternoon makeup game against the Royals at Yankee Stadium, the 25-year-old rightfielder mashed a pair of homers, giving him 50 for the season, one more than the A’s Mark McGwire in 1987.

As with Judge and this year’s MLB-record number of home runs, the 1987 season that served as a backdrop to McGwire was a longball-saturated one. The total of 4,458 smashed the record of 3,813 set the year before and the per-team, per game average of 1.06 was the only time before 1994 that teams broke the 1.0 mark. Big Mac obliterated the previous rookie record of 38 shared by the Reds' Frank Robinson (1956) and the Braves' Wally Berger (1938).

Judge, who homered in his first major league plate appearance last August 13 but hit just .179/.263/.345 in a 27-game cup of coffee, didn't hit his first homer of the 2017 season until April 9, the Yankees sixth game, but a 13-homer flurry over a 20-game span landed him on the cover of the May 15 issue of Sports Illustrated. He hit 30 homers prior to the All-Star break, putting him on pace for 57, and produced an AL-best 5.3 Wins Above Replacement, catapulting him into the conversation for MVP. What's more, he also won the Home Run Derby in Miami.

A second-half slump took the wind out of Judge's sails; he hit just .185/.353/.326 with three homers and 41 strikeouts in 116 plate appearances in August. Whether it was a flaw in his mechanics, a failure to adjust to the adjustments made by pitchers or a bothersome left shoulder, he was a shadow of his first-half self for several weeks, and the Yankees’ offense suffered because of it.

Since the calendar turned to September, it's been another story. Judge's home run on September 3 against the Red Sox, his 38th of the year, ended a season-high 15-game drought. He's hit 12 since then, including seven in his last six games, capped by back-to-back two-homer games against the Blue Jays on Sunday and the Royals on Monday. In Monday’s third inning, he tied McGwire's record with a 389-footer to right centerfield off Jakob Junis, and then in the seventh, he broke it via a 408-footer to left center off Trevor Cahill. For the month, he’s now hitting .307/.444/.893 with 13 homers and 26 RBIs.

The rookie home run leaderboard also features a new NL record-holder in the Dodgers' Cody Bellinger, who despite not debuting until April 25 has 39 homers; he surpassed Robinson and Berger on Friday night. Here's the new top 12:

RANK	PLAYER	TEAM	HOME RUNS
1	Aaron Judge	2017 Yankees	50
2	Mark McGwire	1987 A's	49
3	Cody Bellinger	2017 Dodgers	39
4T	Frank Robinson*	1956 Reds	38
	Wally Berger	1930 Braves	38
6T	Albert Pujols*	2001 Cardinals	37
	Al Rosen	1950 Indians	37
8	Jose Abreu*	2014 White Sox	36
9T	Mike Piazza*	1993 Dodgers	35
	Ron Kittle*	1983 White Sox	35
	Rudy York	1937 Tigers	35
	Hal Trotsky	1934 Indians	35

The players with asterisks all won their league Rookie of the Year awards, which weren’t given out prior to 1947, hence no hardware for Berger, Trotsky or York. Both Judge and Bellinger are likely to join the ranks with Rookie of the Year awards of their own.

It’s no longer out of the question that Judge could win the MVP award, either. For the season, he's at .283/.418/.620, leading the league not only in homers but also runs (124), walks (120) and strikeouts (202). Entering Monday, he ranked second to Jose Altuve in both OPS+ (164 to 168) and WAR (7.3 to 8.2). At the very least, he's closed the gap on Altuve, though others such as Mike Trout and Corey Kluber could be in the picture as well.

Regardless of whether Judge wins MVP honors, he’s got the new record to top what’s already been a fantastic season. He’s a big reason the Yankees will be playing in the AL Wild Card game next week.

Alexandre Lacazette double earns Arsenal nervy win against West Brom

With Romelu Lukaku and Álvaro Morata blazing attacking trails since their spotlight Premier League moves, Alexandre Lacazette perhaps would have felt the burn of expectation when he stood over the ball contemplating how he should strike a penalty that seemed like it would be decisive. With Arsenal leading 1-0 against a dogged and aggrieved West Bromwich Albion, who wondered how they had not had a penalty of their own earlier in the game, all eyes were on Arsenal’s new French forward.

Lacazette stood behind the spot wearing the expression of a man contemplating what colour socks to wear that day. If he felt any pressure he certainly did not show it, and duly slammed the ball low and fiercely into the goalkeeper’s bottom-left corner. A pair of predatory goals to win a tense match does Lacazette the world of good as he continues to work his way into Premier League life.

As pivotal moments went it was, importantly, one of a handful that marked this encounter. Tony Pulis chose the I-don’t-want-to-talk-about-referees stance. Having said that, the Albion manager could not quite stop himself from a few plaintive yet pointed laments. Some frustration was understandable given an incident in the seventh minute when Jay Rodriguez scampered down the left, chased in unconvincing fashion by Shkodran Mustafi, who was lulled into a desperate challenge in the penalty area.

Mustafi’s luck that the referee Bobby Madley did not award a penalty was enhanced when West Bromwich could not take advantage as they played on. Rodriguez regained his footing and shot crisply. Petr Cech’s reflex save deflected the ball on to a post and Jake Livermore was frustrated as he screwed the rebound wide. “We believe it’s a penalty and if the lad’s the last man he should be sent off,” said Pulis. “People say Rodriguez has been too honest. Is honesty the thing to do?”

The Albion manager paused, leaving this existential question hanging in the air. “We haven’t had a penalty for over a year now. The facts are the facts.” After all that he made it clear he did not advocate that Rodriguez should have stayed down. It’s a moral maze all right.

For once Pulis and Arsène Wenger had some agreement as the Arsenal manager admitted it was a lucky break for his team. Had it been given, Wenger said, he “would not have said it was a scandal”.

The player himself admitted it never occurred to him to exaggerate and his eyes were focused only on trying to score. “I wouldn’t be rolling around trying to get free kicks,” Rodriguez said. “If I have the chance to score and see it, I am not going to stay down and shy away from it. It was just one of those things.”

Another remarkable, if less controversial, one of those things occurred when Nacho Monreal denied Rodriguez with the goal at his mercy shortly before half-time. His downward header beat Cech but at that precise moment Monreal unveiled a stunning impression of Bruce Lee, deflecting the ball with a mid-air kung-fu kick.

Fine margins. Arsenal’s two goals, one in each half, tilted the result to conclude a contest Wenger described as a comfortable finish after a nervy first half. Lacazette plundered the first after Alexis Sánchez executed a fine free-kick with zip and dip. Ben Foster in the Albion goal did well to help it on to the crossbar but Lacazette lurked with intent and nodded in the opening goal.

Then came the only one of three potential penalties that was given by Madley. He waved one away when Sánchez’s shirt was pulled, then pointed to the spot after Allan Nyom barged over Aaron Ramsey. Lacazette impressed Wenger when Arsenal practised penalties in training so he has been given the duty. He responded with aplomb. He has scored 21 in just over three seasons – only Cristiano Ronaldo, with 22, has more from Europe’s top five leagues.

Wenger was pleased to see the striker provide another positive performance. “He is not only a goalscorer, his link-up play is good, he fights as well, he is not phased by the physical challenges West Brom gave us. He looks to adapt very quickly and very well,” the manager added. There still looks like more to come from Lacazette in terms of combination play with Sánchez. Olivier Giroud was again in reserve and played seven minutes.

Some rotation is expected as Arsenal head off to Belarus in the Europa League. “At moment I would say the schedule for us is a bit cruel,” said Wenger. “We play tonight, in Bate Borisov on Thursday night, then Sunday morning at 12 o’clock here. I will go with a team of senior players and certainly a young bench.”

This game marked Gareth Barry’s record-breaking 633rd Premier League appearance, exceeding the total set by Ryan Giggs. Perhaps fittingly it felt like standard fare for this competition, hotly competed, tense and tight in mood. The Albion man was presented with a memento by Wenger after the game signed by all the Arsenal players on the night. A classy touch on an evening when West Bromwich felt few gifts went their way.

Houston Texans vs. New England Patriots RECAP, score and stats

The Houston Texans (1-1), led by defensive end J.J. Watt, met the New England Patriots (1-1), led by quarterback Tom Brady, in NFL Week 3 action at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sunday, September 24, 2017 (9/24/17).

Here's the AP recap:

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady connected with Brandin Cooks for a 25-yard touchdown pass with 23 seconds left, his fifth TD throw of the game, and the New England Patriots rallied to beat the Houston Texans 36-33 on Sunday.

Brady finished 25 of 35 for 378 yards as New England won its straight regular-season meeting with Houston and seventh of eight overall. Cooks caught five passes for 131 yards and pair of scores. It was the fifth multi-touchdown game and eighth 100-yard game of his career.

Texans rookie Deshaun Watson was strong in his second career start. The Patriots were thin on the edge without linebacker Dont'a Hightower for the second straight week, and Watson took advantage, completing 22 of 33 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns.

But he did have two interceptions, including one that set up a New England first-half touchdown.

The Patriots extended their halftime lead to 28-20 in the third quarter before Houston used a 12-yard TD pass from Watson to Ryan Griffin, and a 31-yard Ka'imi Fairbairn field goal to edge back in front 30-28 early in the fourth quarter.

The Texans forced New England to punt with just over seven minutes to play, but had to settle for a 36-yard Fairbairn field goal with 2:24 left. Houston failed on a third-and-1 at the Patriots 18.

That left Brady room. After an early holding penalty pushed New England back to its 15, Brady used a 15-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski and 27-yarder to Danny Amendola to Houston's 25.

Cooks then got free for the go-ahead score. He also caught the ensuing 2-point conversion.

Houston wasn't intimidated by the Patriots in the first half, trading leads with the defending champions thanks to big plays on both sides of the ball.

With Houston trailing 7-3 after an early Brady touchdown pass to Gronkowski, the Texans' defense handed Watson great field position on the Patriots 44. The rookie responded with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Ellington.

Watson got caught trying to do too much a few drives later and paid for it when Stephon Gilmore intercepted his pass intended for DeAndre Hopkins and returned it 39 yards to the Houston 12. Brady took the lead back two plays later when he hit a wide-open Chris Hogan across the middle for a 7-yard score.

It was 14-13 when Whitney Mercilus got free around the end and sacked Brady from the blind side. The ball popped free on the hit and it was picked up and returned 22 yards by Jadeveon Clowney for a touchdown.

But the Patriots responded again late in the half when Brady found Hogan wide open again for a 47-yard touchdown.

CLOWNEY'S BIG DAY

Clowney had two sacks along with his fumble return. He became the third player in Texans history with two sacks and a fumble return for a touchdown in a game, joining Mario Williams and J.J. Watt.

The two sacks also matched a career high for Clowney.

ANTHEM PROTESTS

About 30 Patriots players knelt or locked arms during the national anthem in response to criticism President Donald Trump levied against Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players and teams over the weekend. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who's been a strong supporter of the president, expressed "deep disappointment" with Trump in a statement. Texans owner Robert McNair also called the president's comments "divisive."

INJURIES

Texans: Safety Andre Hal was shaken up in a collision with Amendola late in the fourth quarter.

Patriots: Tight end Jacob Hollister limped off the field early in the third quarter after a hard hit from Johnathan Joseph.

Another curious loss becomes alarming for Steelers after Jordan Howard walk-off

It's easy to look at the Pittsburgh Steelers' three consecutive seasons of double-digit wins and ignore the occasional lapse. But curious losses against inferior teams are making that difficult.

The Steelers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field -- thanks to an overpowering Chicago rushing performance in overtime -- was Pittsburgh's sixth loss against a sub-.500 team since 2014.

Bears running back Tarik Cohen's apparent 73-yard walk-off touchdown was called back after he stepped out of bounds, but Jordan Howard sealed it a few plays later with his 19-yard, game-winning score.

The Bears looked in command all game, which reveals an ugly truth about the Steelers' insistence on playing down to competition.

After Howard's game-winning touchdown run through a sea of defensive backs, Steelers cornerback Artie Burns flung his helmet and walked to the locker room without it. Safety Mike Mitchell lay by the end zone, his face mask buried in the grass.

Despite some efforts to cure the Bears' early run success and creating two turnovers in the second half, the Steelers looked outmatched on the final drive.

The offense didn't fare much better.

With 52 seconds left in regulation, one timeout remaining and 85 yards from the end zone, the Steelers walked to the line of scrimmage looking like a high-powered offense should. The result? They gained 17 yards on two passes, called a timeout, and took a sack off a three-man rush before regulation ended.

The Steelers just can't reach back and consistently overpower teams on the road. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finished with one touchdown pass, the eighth time in his past 10 road games he has had one score or less.

The Bears tried to lose this game at several points, including back-to-back penalties on a fourth-quarter drive. This was a game Pittsburgh probably should have won convincingly.

As the Steelers were late out of the tunnel pregame, their play reflected as much early in the game. The Bears' gaping running holes were alarming for a Steelers defense that prides itself on stopping the run. Howard & Co. burst through those holes for 114 rushing yards in the first half despite no Bears receiver recording a catch before halftime.


The Steelers' second-half adjustments reduced those holes, forcing Bears quarterback Mike Glennon to throw uncomfortably from the pocket without much downfield help. Credit the Steelers' defense for attacking the ball carrier.

Antonio Brown was brilliant once again, but the Steelers are waiting on the brilliance of others, too.

Through the season's first seven quarters on the road, Roethlisberger was 20-of-23 for 279 yards targeting Brown but just 20-of-43 for 159 yards to everyone else.

A 25-yard strike to rookie JuJu Smith-Schusterr early in the fourth proved crucial, though. Le'Veon Bell's steady but unspectacular play continued for the most part; he was good after contact and his 13-yard run late in the fourth quarter helped the Steelers out of a first-and-20 situation and kept a crucial drive alive.

It wasn't enough, however.

The Steelers' offense looked most comfortable in the no-huddle that Roethlisberger loves. That setup dominated a 13-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a Brown touchdown in the second quarter. But the rest of the offensive attack was mostly uninspiring. Who would have thought one of the most feared NFL offensive attacks would be searching for its 2017 identity through three games?

Lions come up just shy against Falcons, but show they are playoff contenders

It all felt so familiar. Matthew Stafford getting the ball with less than two minutes left, needing a touchdown to win the game. In 2016, this became almost automatic for the Detroit Lions. And in these situations, despite the odds, the Lions inevitably won.

But Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons was different. It’s a new year -- and with it came a different result. Big plays on the final drive were erased by penalties on Zac Kerin and Marvin Jones. And instead of a signature win, the Lions had one too many mistakes and one too many drives early on that did not work out.

And Stafford, the last-minute football miracle-worker last season, couldn’t convert. What was initially called a touchdown by Golden Tate was changed, and the Lions came up a half-yard short. They fell to Atlanta 30-26, and it’ll be a game Detroit will look back on as a missed opportunity against the defending NFC champions.

The Lions showed something Sunday. They lost, but they looked like a team on par with the Falcons. It didn’t look like a mismatch, but rather a competitive game. And that, for the Lions, is a big step. It validates, in many ways, the wins over the Arizona Cardinals and the New York Giants. It shows that this team should be in playoff contention – that a division title is possible.

Simply, that they should be considered contenders.

"Absolutely," defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. "And on defense, I can speak for us up front when I say we didn’t play our best ball. We played well but I mean, there were definitely plays out there we could have made more plays but I mean, it just shows where we’re at as a football team, with a Super Bowl contender squeaking out of here with a win, I’m fine with that. You know. If we see them down the road, it’ll be another good game."

They were in this game largely because of their defense, even if 30 points is a lot to allow. Detroit’s defense played exceedingly well, even if it struggled with Devonta Freeman. Its offense, however, couldn’t get enough going. Too many drives ended with Matt Prater field goals instead of touchdowns. Others were thwarted by penalties, drops from Eric Ebron and three-and-outs.

"I think we’re judged by wins and losses obviously, everyone knows that," Stafford said. "Man, it could’ve been a way different game. We had opportunities and we just didn’t capitalize. Too many field goals for us, not enough touchdowns and ultimately not a touchdown at the end. If we get that, this is a whole different session.”

That, for now, is the difference between where the Lions are and where they hope to be by the end of the season. They are clearly close, but not quite there yet. A mistake here. A drop there. That was the difference for Detroit on Sunday afternoon.

The Lions' defense did a good job everywhere other than against Freeman. It picked off Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan three times (twice on tipped passes). It did a good job keeping star receiver Julio Jones in check. And the defense kept the Lions in the game as the offense struggled throughout the first half.

There was a point last season where Detroit talked a bunch about playing complementary football -- where the offense would carry the defense on a bad day, and vice versa. It’s what made the Lions, who were a dynamic group in the fourth quarter last season, a playoff team. That fourth-quarter magic ended a yard short of a win, with the Lions failing three times to score on goal-to-go from the 1 -- including Tate being a half-yard short on a third down that was initially ruled a touchdown. It was then reversed, and the 10-second clock runoff ended the game.


But the entire final drive and the first two downs were opportunities. Three of them, actually, after a penalty-filled final drive that gave the Lions a chance. But they were opportunities lost, and lost in a truly stunning fashion -- a similar feeling to how they would have felt if they had won.

Here’s the thing, though. There is hope. This team had the feel of a playoff team against the Falcons, and it should be one that is in contention for it the rest of the way. Especially since at least some Lions don't think they are quite there yet.

"No, I don’t think we’re there," Ebron said. "We’ll get there by continuing to try hard, but we’re not there yet. We let this one slip."

Ravens better hope jet lag led to this historic, embarrassing loss to Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said the players didn't practice like zombies after their overseas flight, but that's exactly what the team resembled in Sunday's 44-7 embarrassment against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ravens' Biggest Losses

The worst margins of defeat in Ravens history:

YEAR, WK. OPP. SCORE MARGIN

2017,       03   Jac        44-7        37

1997,       11   Pit         37-0        37

2013,       16   NE        41-7        34

2007,       09   Pit         38-7        31

2012,       07   Hou      43-13      30

2015,       14   Sea       35-6        29

The Ravens looked slow and lost in their first game played outside the United States. The result: A loss that matches the worst margin of defeat in the Ravens' 21 years of existence and ranks as the second-worst loss in the 10-year history of the NFL international series (one point shy of the mark).

"We got our butts kicked in all three phases," Ravens safety Eric Weddle said. "That might be one of the worst losses -- if not the worst loss -- I've ever been a part of."

Baltimore had better hope jet lag was the reason for this epic disappointment, and this is not an ominous sign of what's to come. Even though the Ravens entered the game as one of the NFL's 10 undefeated teams, this Baltimore squad was far from perfect, giving up up big plays on defense and sputtering on offense. Turnovers were the key in building a 2-0 start.

But without forcing a turnover Sunday, Baltimore was simply a team that couldn't get the ball to its playmakers and paid the price for too many lapses in coverage.

How much did the 7 1/2-hour flight and five-hour time difference affect the Ravens?

"I don't know," coach John Harbaugh said. "It doesn't really matter at this point."

Flacco finished with a career-low 28 passing yards, the fewest by any quarterback with at least 15 attempts in a game since Derek Anderson threw for 23 yards in 2009, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Flacco threw two interceptions and didn't complete a pass -- at least not to a Ravens player -- until there was 4:15 left in the second quarter.

"We kind of all traded turns making bad plays," said Flacco, who was 8-of-18 for a passer rating of 12.0. "That leads to big losses and bad football."

The defense, which had given up 10 total points in the first two games, allowed that many on the Jaguars' first two drives and finished with the second-most points surrendered by the Ravens over the past 15 years. Even the special teams didn't go unscathed. With the Jaguars up 37-0 in the final minute of the third quarter, the Ravens watched Corey Grant take a fake punt and run 58 yards.

This marked the fifth-most points allowed in franchise history and the sixth time in the Harbaugh era that Baltimore has been held to seven or fewer points.

"It's bad," wide receiver Jeremy Maclin said. "They out-executed us in every phase of the game. That's what happens in the National Football League when you don't come ready to play."

What has to be unnerving for the Ravens is this happened against a Jaguars team that had lost by 21 points a week ago. The Ravens will get a chance to prove where they stand the next two weeks, when they play host to their AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers and then travel to the Oakland Raiders.

"One loss or one win never defines a season," Harbaugh said. "What defines a season is how you respond to the adversity you face."

Pakistan Cricket Team win the test series against West Indies

Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq are retiring on a winning note after Pakistan clinched their first ever test series victory in the Caribbean when they beat West Indies in a thrilling finish to the third test in Dominica.

A valiant unbeaten century by Roston Chase almost staved off defeat for West Indies on day five on Sunday (NZT Monday), before his team was dismissed all out for 202 in their second innings with only one over remaining at Windsor Park in Roseau.

Chase and the West Indies tail made the Pakistan bowlers sweat after the visitors took the new ball with 17 overs remaining. But number 11 Shannon Gabriel was bowled by leg-spinner Yasir Shah on the final ball of the penultimate over to give the visitors the win.

Had Gabriel survived that ball, Chase would have had a strike for the final over. He ended on 101 not out. Pakistan won the match by 101 runs to win the series 2-1.

Younis and Misbah join their mates for the team photograph. This side - Misbah's side - had done what Hanif Mohammad couldn't do, what Javed Miandad couldn't do, what Imran Khan couldn't do in West Indies. He had led his side to its first ever series victory there, a 101-run win sealing his - and Younis' - careers with aplomb. Test cricket certainly has a way of rewarding its own. Sure they'll celebrate this long into the night. Time for Karthik and I to say goodbye. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, cheers.

If you ever wonder what Pakistan might do without Misbah, the reverse is a more frightening prospect: what will Misbah do without the game? Osman Samiuddin on the man who breathed cricket

His career was spent overcoming challenges that threatened to overwhelm him, but at the end, he has emerged as undeniably Pakistan's greatest Test batsman. Ahmer Naqvi on Younis Khan

Misbah-ul-Haq: There's nothing better than that. Whatever success I had through my career, I couldn't have asked for a better finish. Would like to thank my mother, sisters, family and wife. It was only for her, I would have finished in Australia but she felt I could go on. My team-mates wanted me to go out on a winning note. My son isn't here, he may be watching on TV. I'm missing him, he's got his exams so couldn't be with us. A big thank you to the coaches, teachers, fans and everyone who prayed for me. Lot of people here in West Indies too have come up to wish me the best. I'm happy with what I've had in my career, couldn't have asked for a better finish. Really happy for this team. The way they gave me and Younis a send-off. I wish him all the best. It was a fine journey with him in the middle, sharing a lot of partnerships. In the history books, both our names will be there.

"With one over left, both of teams were under pressure," he continues. "The bowlers bowled their heart out on a slow track. They just believed in themselves. Everyone was so motivated. They were working hard for me and Younis too. There were frustrations. No-balls, wickets, couple of chances here and there, but you enjoy wins like this much more than straightforward wins."

Jason Holder: Proud of the fight that we showed. Lot of people may have thought the Test would be earlier than it did. Disappointing to lose but we've seen something we haven't seen in a long time with West Indies cricket. We're coming up against good teams. Pakistan were No. 1 not too long ago. We need to learn to seize crucial moments. I said to the guys that I was extremely proud of the way we fought. There's still lot of room for improvement, but a great effort nonetheless. Roston Chase, Shannon Gabriel outstanding, Alzarri and myself - we all played a part. Coming into this game with a chance of winning the series was fantastic. To Misbah and Younis, I want to say congratulations to you both. You've been ambassadors for world cricket. Best wishes for your future endeavors.

Yasir Shah is the Player of the series. He picked up his 11th Test five-for today.

Roston Chase is the Player of the Match for his combative century. Very kind of him to pose for a selfie after such a heartbreaking loss. "All that was going through my mind was to be there till the end and save the Test. A hundred didn't matter," he says. "I just told the tailenders to trust their defence. Well, Shannon will learn. Hopefully if he gets into a situation like that, he'll choose a better shot. Can't blame him, we fought as a team. I had a good series, but as you see it wasn't good enough. Hopefully we can be on the winning side next time."

5.58pm With only six balls remaining, Pakistan have sealed their first ever series win in the West Indies. Misbah and Younis sign off with a series win. They're being lifted onto their team-mates' shoulders. Yasir finishes with a five-for. But think of Roston Chase. He has played one of the great innings of recent years. He is stranded on 101.

So a tour that started last month with the T20Is has ended with Misbah and Younis signing off with crowning glory. Emotional scenes. No sooner than Gabriel chopped on, Younis ran in to take one of the stumps as a souvenir. Misbah draped himself with the Pakistan flag around his shoulders and then ran over to quickly meet his family.

What was Shannon Gabriel thinking? And what must Roston Chase be thinking right now? Moment of madness. I'm not sure he's going to sleep tonight.

Hamzah: "Probably the best match I have ever seen. This is why T20 can never even come close to the intensity of test cricket and it is still best format. Finally I can get back to work, I couldn't take my eye off the game for the last hour or so. "

Misbah-ul-Haq wraps a Pakistan flag around his shoulders, and walks up to the grass banks to join his family. Hugs and handshakes in the Pakistan camp. All the players' wives and kids are out to join the celebrations. I'm going to go catch my breath. Shashank will bring you the post-match reactions and the presentation.

95.6

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, OUT, WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED HERE? Slogs, and inside-edges into off stump! He had one ball to see out, and I think Yasir bowled the googly outside off. Gabriel may have picked it, and figured he was safest hitting it over the top because everyone was clustered around the bat. Still, what a risk. Only manages an inside-edge, and the ball ricochets into the stumps

ST Gabriel b Yasir Shah 4 (32m 22b 1x4 0x6) SR: 18.18

Everyone is standing ten feet or less than ten feet from the bat.

95.5

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, no run, tossed up full outside leg, big stride out, solid defensive push into the leg side

The ball before, they had a chance of taking a single, but Chase turned it down. He trusts Gabriel to see this over out.

95.4

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, no run, given! Gabriel reviews this, I'm not sure he edged that. Drops this on a nice length outside leg. Gabriel thrust his pad at the ball and then the pad. Bat hit the back of his front leg, preventing it from completing his defensive stroke. I think the ball hit his pad, and somehow squeezed behind his bat, hit his back thigh, and then popped to silly point. For once, we have conclusive evidence to overturn the on-field decision!

95.3

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, no run, full outside leg, defended past the man at short leg

Around the wicket now. And whoa, it's begun drizzling! The floodlights have come on.

95.2

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, no run, short, pitches on leg and turns away sharply, but this pitch is really slow, and he waits on the back foot and blocks comfortably into the covers

95.1

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, no run, tossed up full on leg stump, gets that front leg out of the way and gets down low to defend back to the bowler

Two overs. Twelve balls. Yasir to bowl his last over of the series. He's taken 24 wickets so far.
