Rhys Priestland kicked five penalties as Bath recorded a 22-6 victory over Bristol in Pool 4 of the European Rugby Challenge Cup.The Wales international fly-half led his side to a second successive win in the competition with four successful first-half kicks before adding another after the break.Bristol responded through penalties from Billy Searle and Shane Geraghty either side of the interval but their chances of salvaging something from the game were effectively ended when Jack Tovey was sin-binned 14 minutes from time.Baths Matt Banahan then raced clear to touch down the only try of the game in the final minute before Priestland added the conversion to leave Andy Robinsons side pointless from their opening two European fixtures.Elsewhere, La Rochelle made it back-to-back wins in Pool 1 with a convincing 51-24 success at home to fellow French side Bayonne.Charles Bouldoire scored two of the hosts eight tries with the others coming from Romain Sazy, Jason Eaton, Steeve Barry, Arthur Retiere, Levani Botia and Leandro Cedaro.Fly-half Brock James added 11 points with the boot before fellow Australian Zack Holmes was sin-binned in the closing stages.Tries from Martin Laveau and Pablo Huete, plus a late penalty try, put Bayonne on the scoresheet but they failed to find a fourth score to earn a bonus point and were well beaten.In the nights other match, Stade Francais comfortably beat Romanian side Timisoara Saracens 27-0 in Pool 5.Jules Plisson went over in the opening minutes for the French hosts before further tries from Faraj Fartass and Djibril Camara and seven points from the boot of South African Morne Steyn gave them a 22-0 lead at the break.Sylvain Nicolas touched down the fourth try of the night in the second half to earn the home side a bonus point in their first win of the competition. Viktor Arvidsson Jersey . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. Roman Josi Jersey . Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void. http://www.authenticpredatorspro.com/Miikka-salomaki-predators-jersey/ . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. Matt Irwin Predators Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. Yannick Weber Predators Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans have been so bad in recent years that each sees the other as an opportunity for a rare win.In the woeful AFC South, Thursday night not only offers the lone prime-time opportunity this season for both teams, but the chance for a huge step up in the division.This is important ... Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Weve got to win a division game and stay in the pack, and hopefully come out of it at some point.The Jaguars (2-4) may have just gotten a visit from worried owner Shad Khan , but they at least have an AFC South win. The Titans (3-4) still are looking for such a victory, yet are only a game in back of Houston for the division lead.A popular pick to win this division before the season started, the Jaguars were routed 33-16 by Oakland on Sunday to end a two-game winning streak. They are trying to remain undefeated inside the division, though is just Jacksonvilles second AFC South game.That is the biggest goal right now, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said. You treat every week like a one-game season, and it is the most important game we ever played.Jacksonville is the only team the Titans beat in Nashville each of the past two seasons, and they want to wrap up a three-game home stand by adding the Jaguars to a list of home wins that includes only winless Cleveland after losing 34-26 to Indianapolis on Sunday.Here are some things to watch Thursday night:MARIOTAS TOUCHDOWNS: Tennessees Marcus Mariota finds himself in good company as he prepares to celebrate his 23rd birthday Sunday. He currently ranks fifth all-time for most TD passes before a quarterbacks 23rd birthday behind Drew Bledsoe of New England and Minnesotas Fran Tarkenton (40), followed by Josh Freeman (35) with Tampa Bay and Jameis Winston (34), who turns 23 in January. Mariota has 31 TD passes in 19 career games -- eight over the past three games, tying New Englands Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford of Detroit for most in the NFL in that stretch.MARIOTAS TURNOVERS: But the Titans quarterback is 2-8 at home with 19 turnovers in his career. Seven of those have come this season, with at least one in each home game. His latest turnover cost the Titans a chance at a comebaack against Indianapolis, and he had an interception wiped out by a penalty away from the play.ddddddddddddSTILL SEARCHING: Bortles raised eyebrows Tuesday by saying the Jaguars are still trying to find an identity. Its Bortles third year in the league and second in the same system. Bortles said the offense is still searching to find out what it does well. This much is certain: The Jaguars have to cut down on penalties and turnovers to have any chance of being successful, Bortles said.The Jaguars will be facing a Titans secondary missing two starters with cornerback Perrish Cox (concussion) and safety Rashad Johnson (neck) both declared out.STOPPING THE RUN: Titans running back DeMarco Murray leads the AFC and ranks third in the NFL with 633 yards rushing, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Murray also has run for at least 100 yards in three of his past five games.The Jaguars will try to slow down Murray without their best run stopper. Defensive tackle Roy Miller was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a torn right Achilles tendon, leaving Abry Jones and SenDerrick Marks to handle the position the rest of the season. Jones has two career starts, and Marks is trying to get back to his 2014 form after missing time with a torn knee ligament and an elbow injury.LOSING CONTROL?: Although it sure seemed like the Jags were spiraling out of control against Oakland, players and coach Gus Bradley insist it did little to affect them moving forward. Receiver Marqise Lee was penalized for using a racial slur. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson was ejected after picking up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for using abusive language toward an official. And cornerback Jalen Ramsey was ejected for fighting.Throw in the teams inability to run the ball and Bortles penchant for poor passes, and the Jaguars looked like a team on the verge of a complete meltdown.---AP Sports Writer Mark Long in Jacksonville, Florida, contributed to this report.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.
