If you are a fan of high-flying prolific offenses that light up the scoreboard like a Christmas tree, you might not want to tune into the Los Angeles Rams visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. Points will be at a premium when these two NFC opponents face off in the Florida heat. The Rams havent scored a touchdown all season and have a total of nine points in two games.At least the Buccaneers started the year off right as they looked like a Jon Gruden-coached club in Week 1, putting up 31 points in a major NFC South win over the Atlanta Falcons. Then quarterback Jameis Winston and his squad faced the buzz-saw that is the Arizona Cardinals and got trounced 40-7. Winston threw four interceptions.Its a humbling league. We got beat up all over the field. Hats off to the Cardinals for a job well done. I didnt a good enough job getting these guys ready to go. We turned it over way, way too many times, said Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter.Tampa Bays head coach acknowledged the offense has not been clicking, especially Winston and wide receiver Vincent Jackson. In the first two weeks, Jackson has just six catches for 62 yards despite being targeted 17 times. And now starting running back Doug Martin could be out for an extended period of time with a hamstring injury. Martins loss puts even more emphasis on the passing attack of the Buccaneers finding the right chemistry.Both teams are 1-1 yet neither organization has figured out their identity heading into Week 3 of the 2016 NFL season. The Rams have major questions at the quarterback position even if head coach Jeff Fisher will not admit them.Well he (Rams starting quarterback Case Keenum) bounced back. He had a good week, came back and made plays. Thats a tough defense to attack and throw against. You know, we had some drops nonetheless, but he put the ball where it needed to be put. The last play to (wide receiver) Kenny (Britt) was a great throw -- great anticipation, great throw, said Fisher of his embattled starter. The media and fans have been adamant about the Rams starting 2016 No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff since Los Angeles has not scored a touchdown this season.Anybody that knows this game would be concerned about not scoring touchdowns, now come on. I dont mean to be disrespectful, but we need to score some touchdowns. But Ill take this win, winning and then some. So if we take anything away from this week, thats what we got to do. We got to keep working on it someway somehow, whether its special teams or defense, but Ill take a touchdown next week. That would be cool, Fisher said as the team faces the Buccaneers in Week 3.Fisher may get his wish. The Buccaneers defense, which was not very good under fired head coach Lovie Smith, has struggled in 2016 as well. Only the Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars have given up as many points (64).Both teams could be a remedy for the others ills. The lack of offense by the Rams could help the Buccaneers defense or vice versa. A lackluster Los Angeles offensive unit could find solace in attacking a below-average Tampa Bay defensive group.This then leaves the game primarily in the hands of which Buccaneers offense against which Rams defense shows up. Los Angeles, led by middle linebacker Alec Ogletree and defensive end Robert Quinn, held the Seattle Seahawks to a field goal in their Week 2 win at home. This was after giving up 28 points to the San Francisco 49ers in a Week 1 loss.The Buccaneers offense installed by head coach Dirk Koetter was flying high in Week 1 in which the offense accounted 371 net yards. Quarterback Jameis Winston threw for four touchdowns. The offensive line gave up zero sacks vs. the Falcons. On the road in Arizona for Week 2, Tampa Bay was shut out in the first half, Winston threw four interceptions and the offensive line gave up three sacks.Said Koetter, I expect and want to see fantastic resiliency. If you just look around the league, thats how the NFL is. The Cardinals had a disappointing loss, and they came back and got after us pretty good yesterday.Look at the Rams, who we play this week. The Rams lost 28-0 in their opener to the 49ers, come back with a huge win against Seattle. The Falcons, who we beat last week, go on the road to the Raiders who were a hot team and play well enough to get a big win on the road.As both head coaches have preached this week, depending on which Buccaneers or Rams team shows up will determine the outcome of this NFC showdown.

Yeezy 700 Wave Runner Restock .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview. Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me. The comparisons are inevitable. Connor McDavid understands it. So does Sidney Crosby.Franchise centers dont come along very often. Particularly ones with the skill set McDavid seems to share with the player he grew up idolizing. The footwork. The soft hands. The relentless energy. The ability to see something before it happens and the talent to make it so.A decade ago, it was Crosby who took the NHL by storm. Now its McDavids turn. A year removed from an injury-marred rookie season in Edmonton, the 19-year-old will get a chance to face Crosby for the first time on Tuesday when the Oilers visit the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.Both players, as is their habit, are trying to downplay the meeting. Still, Crosby has a keen sense of where McDavid is at in his blossoming career and the weight placed on his shoulders. Back in 2006, Crosby was trying to do for the Penguins what McDavid is trying to do for the Oilers: lift a once proud team back to relevance, one highlight-reel play at a time.Listen to Crosby rattle off the things that impress him about McDavid, and the two-time Hart Trophy winner might as well be describing himself.I just think his speed stands out the most, Crosby said. It allows him to do so many other things. He sees the ice really well. Hes so strong on the puck. His hockey sense and his speed are the things that stand out the most.Theyve been on display with regularity so far for Edmonton, which sits atop the Pacific Division, a solid start for a team trying to end a playoff drought that stretches back to when McDavid was still in elementary school. McDavid is tied for fourth in the NHL in points (14) and seventh in assists (nine), including a patient, heady dish to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the power play on Sunday that turned into the winning goal in a 2-1 victory in Detroit.Hes obviously one of the bright young players in the league, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. Im sure that team has taken another step and hes a big reason why.ddddddddddddJust dont expect Sullivan do his part to make sure Crosbys No. 87 ends up in the faceoff circle with McDavids No. 97. (Oh, theres another similarity: both players using the year of their birth as their respective jersey numbers).I dont really think too much about drama, Sullivan said.Besides, Crosbys return to the lineup after a concussion that sidelined him for a few weeks last month has made the environment in Pittsburgh decidedly drama-free. The Penguins havent lost in regulation since Crosby came back (5-0-1), and the player who loves nothing more than to set up a teammate has suddenly become a little selfish, in a good way.Crosby has eight goals in six games, including two each in the final two games of a road swing through California.Nothing surprises us, Sullivan said. Hes just a great player. I dont know how else to say it. I think weve grown to expect it out of him and hes done it each and every night. I really admire his consistency of play.And that more than anything else may be what McDavid wants to emulate about Crosby above all else.Hes the best player in the world and if you can take anything from his game, obviously thatll help, McDavid said.Though theyve run into each other occasionally in random places, Crosby hasnt gone out of his way to reach out and give McDavid advice. Crosby doesnt want to overstep, pointing out the Oilers have veterans to help guide McDavid as he navigates his first full season after a broken collarbone limited him to 45 games as a rookie.Still, if there was one piece of advice Crosby will impart, its this: tune out the hype and just do what you do.The biggest thing is learning on the fly, see what works for you, Crosby said. Just remember what got you to this point and try to continue that success.---AP Hockey Writer Larry Lage in Detroit contributed to this report. ' ' '
