LONDON -- The Bengals and Redskins both leave London feeling like losers after a strange shtout of a tie that satisfies nobody.Washington (4-3-1) needed to gain ground vs. Dallas and Philadelphia above it in the competitive NFC East, while Cincinnati (3-4-1) simply hoped to get back to .500 in the weaker AFC North. Instead, both head into their bye weeks with that unlikely No. 1 tacked on to their records like an irritating ftnote.The Bengals let their victory slip away in regulation, permitting a 10-play, 45-yard drive that ended in a 40-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins with barely a minute left to knot the score 27-27.Washington got a double dose of regret in overtime, cheering as Hopkins 34-yard kick with barely two minutes remaining cleared the uprights -- only to be whistled dead on a Bengals timeout. His second kick hked wide left .Yet the Redskins got the ball back at midfield after forcing an Andy Dalton fumble . Kirk Cousins hit Pierre Garcon to the Bengals 33-yard line, into potential winning field-goal range again -- only for the play to be reversed on a dubious pass interference call on Garcon.Its weird, said Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson. On one hand, youre mad, because theres a couple plays that if we make, we can win. But at the same time, we didnt lose. Its bittersweet, you know? Im glad we didnt take the `L, but Im upset we didnt win.Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said hed been thinking to himself, after watching the Seahawks and Cardinals struggle to a 6-6 tie last weekend, how weird it would be to experience an NFL tie himself.Then lo and behold, here we are, he said. It definitely feels more like a loss than a win.I just feel bad, said Redskins cornerback Josh Norman. Tie? Whatever. I just feel like we lost.Other takeaways from Sundays Wembley Stadium draw:TERRIFIC TYLER: If the Bengals are going to reach the playoffs for a sixth straight year, they must improve their red-zone scoring. T key could be Tyler Eifert.The fourth-year tight end played a full game for the first time since offseason back surgery and was a dominant presence. He caught nine balls on 12 targets for 102 yards, many of them gained after the catch on short dump-offs, shovel passes or because of broken tackles.His 15-yard touchdown catch on the Bengals opening third-quarter drive put Cincinnati in front 13-10. It also was the first touchdown generated this season by any Bengals tight end, one year removed from Eifert catching 13 TD catches, a team record at the position.A.J. Green said having Eifert back opened up the field for every other receiver.To see what he can do in the middle of the field is unbelievable, said Green, who made nine catches for 121 yards. I didnt have to worry about both safeties. All I had to worry about was beating the corner every time.Eiferts blocking was instrumental on Cincinnatis final touchdown. He helped seal the end of the defensive line for Jeremy Hill to stride untouched into the end zone on a 1-yard run that put the Bengals up 27-24 in the fourth quarter.Dalton praised Eifert as such a gd player ... a big part of this offense.RUNNING FREE: The Redskins ground game aint broken without leading rusher Matt Jones, sidelined Sunday with a knee injury picked up midweek.Undrafted rkie Robert Kelley proved effective, carrying 21 times for 87 yards and his first rushing touchdown, a juking 4-yard carry up the gut on Washingtons opening drive. His final carry in overtime went for 16 yards to the Bengals 13 to put Hopkins seemingly within safe field goal range.Cousins said he was impressed watching the 228-pounder from Tulane read the holes and make the cuts and keep his shoulders downhill and take on contact.KICKING THEMSELVES: Both teams have questions to answer after their kickers flubbed scoring chances. Hopkins hit field goals of 20 and 40 yards, but missed from 34 and 55 -- and he was still the better kicker on the field.The Bengals Mike Nugent has missed all three attempts of 50 yards or more this season, including Sundays 51-yarder that spun low and wide left. Nugent also shanked an extra point, his first miss this season. That point could have turned a tie into the narrowest of victories.SEEING YELLOW: While Josh Norman protested vociferously Sunday that the officials were biased against his team, the stark reality is that the Redskins played by far their most penalty-marred game.Sundays tally was 15 flags for 102 yards, and didnt include a pass interference on Norman on a 40-yard pass to A.J. Green that the Bengals receiver caught despite being held. Washingtons previous top penalty total, achieved in two games, was nine penalties for 75 yards.---Associated Press reporter Zac Boyer contributed to this story.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLFrancisco Cervelli Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.

Jerry Royster Braves Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena.Baseball is returning to the Olympics in 2020. The question now is who will be playing.With the Summer Games falling in the middle of the major league season, the sport has never been able to produce the kind of best-against-best spectacle that Olympic hockey and basketball have. But even if that remains the case, there will undoubtedly be some big names taking the field at the Tokyo Games.It just might take a few years before baseball fans really know them.Baseball was a full medal event at the Olympics from 1992-2008, and it was a demonstration sport before that. In 1984, Japan won the gold medal game, beating a U.S. team that included Mark McGwire and Will Clark -- both of whom were a couple years away from their big league debuts. At the Seoul Olympics in 1988, the Americans avenged that loss when Jim Abbott beat Japan in the title game.Heres a brief chronology of Olympic baseball since it became a medal sport in 1992:Barcelona (1992): Jason Giambi and Nomar Garciaparra were part of this U.S. team, but the Americans were drubbed by Japan and Cuba and failed to win a medal. The Omar Linares-led Cubans tk the gold.Atlanta (1996): Home-field advantage only meant so much for the U.S., which lost 11-2 to Japan in the semifinals and had to settle for bronze. Cuba beat Japan 13-9 for the gold, with Linares hitting three homers in the title game.Sydney (2000): Cubas Olympic dynasty was finally upended when the U.S. knocked off the two-time defending champions 4-0 to win the gold. Professionals were allowed in the Olympic tournament for the first time, but the conflict with the major league schedule meant the Americans still had a relatively unheralded roster. With Tommy Lasorda managing, Ben Sheets allowed one earned run in 22 innings, and his three-hitter in the final gave the U.S. the title.Athens (2004): The U.S. didnt even make it to the Olympics to defend its title. The Americans were eliminated in qualifying, and the gold medal went back to Cuba, which beat upstart Australia in the final. The Aussies had upset Daisuke Matsuzaka and Japan in tthe semifinals.ddddddddddddBeijing (200: The last Olympic baseball tournament for a while ended in dramatic fashion, when Cubas Yulieski Gurriel -- who signed a $47.5 million, five-year contract with Houston last month -- hit into a double play with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. South Korea held on for a 3-2 win and the gold.There were plenty of future major leaguers playing in the 08 Summer Games. Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched for the champion South Koreans, and the bronze medal-winning Americans had Stephen Strasburg and Jake Arrieta.Japan failed to medal despite having Yu Darvish, Masahiro Tanaka and Norichika Aoki.Here are a few developments from around baseball this past week:STANDING ALONEAlex Rodriguez is set to play his final game for the New York Yankees on Friday, and David Ortiz has announced hell retire at seasons end. If those two are indeed done after this year, then Albert Pujols will be the only remaining active member of the 500-homer club.The 36-year-old Pujols is at 581. The closest active player below 500 home runs is Miguel Cabrera at 433.FANTASY FOCUSNow that the trade deadline is out of the way and players are settling in with new teams and perhaps new roles, the next big issue to watch down the stretch is innings limits. Weve seen teams exercise caution with young pitchers in ways that can affect their fantasy value.Torontos Aaron Sanchez, the AL ERA leader, hasnt been moved to the bullpen yet, but the Blue Jays are clearly being cautious with him, using a six-man rotation. Detroits Michael Fulmer will also be monitored carefully.LINE OF THE WEEKBaltimores Manny Machado homered in the first, second and third innings, driving in seven runs in a 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. That flurry of power gave the All-Star third baseman a surprisingly reasonable chance at a four-homer game, but he went hitless in his next three at-bats.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
