HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans dealt with a fans hand-held laser pointed at quarterback Brock Osweilers eyes, questionable placement of the ball on two key plays and a would-be touchdown that was whistled dead in a loss to Oakland on Monday night.Sure, the Texans were unhappy with all of those things, but a day later they know that dwelling on what happened in Mexico City wont do them any good this week. The message for the Texans was clear on Tuesday: Its time to move on.They really have no other choice but to put the 27-20 defeat behind them with the San Diego Chargers heading to town in six days and Houston needing a win to remain in control of the AFC South. Houston (6-4) remains atop their division, but the loss put them within one game of the second-place Colts.The feeling in that locker room after that game is theres a lot of football left and we have a lot to build on from that game, coach Bill OBrien said. Being in first place is a good thing. The other teams in the division are playing pretty decent. So weve got to understand what is coming down the road here, but the first thing is San Diego, getting a good start on them on Wednesday.OBrien didnt want to discuss any of the calls from Monday night on Tuesday, but he did address the laser pointer after learning more about what happened since his postgame news conference. He said that running back Lamar Miller had it pointed in his face along with Osweiler.It doesnt even enter your mind that someone would bring a laser into a game and point it at one of your players ... I think thats terrible, OBrien said. I dont know what you can do about it.While dealing with the laser pointer and the questionable calls by the referees certainly werent ideal for the Texans, they cant blame the loss entirely on those things. Their defense played great for three quarters before a 75-yard touchdown reception by Jamize Olawale tied things up and Amari Cooper took a screen pass 35 yards for the winning touchdown.Houstons pass defense entered the game ranked third in the NFL and the Texans had a rush defense that was among the worst in the league. On Monday night, the Texans allowed just 30 yards rushing, but were hurt by the receiving of the Oaklands running backs, who combined for 199 yards receiving.There were some missed tackles. Give them credit, OBrien said. But on a positive note, we held them to 30 yards rushing. So in the last three games weve done a good job against the run, but last night their running backs did a good job about us in the passing game. No doubt about it.A positive to come out of Monday nights game was the continued strong play of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney , the top overall pick in the 2014 draft. Clowney, who was slowed by injuries in his first two seasons, had five tackles, including two for losses, to give him 12 tackles for losses this season.He was very disruptive in the game even when he didnt make a play, OBrien said. Hes having a good year for us and the key for him, like all of our players at this time of the year, is staying healthy. But I thought he really impacted the game last.Osweiler , who has been inconsistent in his first season in Houston, wasnt great on Monday, but OBrien believes that he is making progress. He threw for 243 yards on Monday after managing just 99 yards passing last week in a win over Jacksonville.I think he played one of his better games and I think if he can continue to keep getting more comfortable, better and better with our offense youre going to see improvement every week, OBrien said.Game notes OBrien was asked about a story J.J. Watt wrote published by the Players Tribune on Tuesday where he discussed his health and disclosed that he had a staph infection last season. Watt is out for the season after back surgery. J.J. is working very hard to be back here in 2017, OBrien said. I dont think hell be back here this year, although technically you could bring him back in January, but were not going to do that. Hell be back in 2017. Hes in the building today, in good spirits and working to be better than ever in 2017.As far of the list of injuries ... thats probably a better question to ask him.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Sko Nmd Norge .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center.

After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p.UFC expert Adam Matues provides his preview for UFC 205 as Conor McGregor taking on Eddie Alvarez. Ill wrap one on one shoulder, and Ill wrap another on the other shoulder.Those were the words of Conor McGregor as he prepares for his latest attempt at history. In the early hours of Sunday morning, the Irishman will face off against lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez and should he win, he will become the first fighter in the UFC to ever simultaneously hold two title belts. Despite being the 145lb world champion, McGregors last two fights have been at 170lbs, but the former Cage Warriors lightweight champion could have found his perfect division at 155lbs and perhaps the conditioning issues surrounding him are due to fighting at the extremities of his weight.The weight cut to get to 145lbs is too severe and the effects of such a gruelling preparation was seen in his fight with Chad Mendes, while he struggled with the high tempo in his fights against Diaz. UFC president Dana White seperates Eddie Alvarez and Conor McGregor during the UFC 205 press conference Alvarezs intensity for five hard rounds is proven and you would expect that he will look to utilise his weight advantage and wrestling skills to neutralise McGregor on the mat, making over 2.5 rounds appeal at 11/10 with Sky Bet.Mendes was able to take McGregor to the ground on multiple occasions and, although, the Irishman did show off much improved takedown defence in his last fight, an argument could be made for Alvarez to win by submission. Is McGregors charm back? The swagger is back and Eddie Alvarez could be about to find that out GROUND GAINSHowever, the Irishman has brought in Dillon Danis, a high-level Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt to be his sparring partner and, from the training footage that has been released, McGregor looks confident and slick on the ground.Alvarez may find he has underestimated McGregors ground game and after the first two rounds, switch his game plan and instead look to engage in a striking match, which will be a big mistake.Not only does Alvarez find himself at a five-inch reach disadvantage, his opponent is one of the most dangerous strikers in MMA, who combines deadly precision with devastating power. Striking coach Owen Roddy put it perfectly when he said Conor has 25 minutes to land just one big punch.WALKING TARGET McGregor is determined to give UFC fans another spectacle Despite his great footwork, Alvarezs run forward high pressure style makes him easy to hit. McGregor was able to knockdown the much heavier Diaz but both he and Alvarez are tough, resilient brawlers that are hard to finish.Its a monumental task for McGregor to step up a weight division and KO the lightweighht champion of the world for only the second time in his career.ddddddddddddMcGregor is a natural lightweight with a welterweight reach and you can anticipate that when the fight is standing, he will be slipping Alvarezs big right hand whilst countering with his brutal step back left hand, picking off Alvarezs advances every time he looks to set up a takedown.Im also expecting him to impress the judges with a couple of knockdowns but fail to get the knockout. On top of this, four of Alvarezs last five fights have gone the distance and therefore my main bet is going to be McGregor to win by decision at 15/2 with Sky Bet. McGregor gained revenge over Nate Diaz earlier this year BEST OF THE RESTUFC 205 is the best fight card ever assembled and below are my best bets from the fights outside of the main event.Nurmagomedov v JohnsonWith a perfect 23-0 record in professional MMA, Khabib Nurmagomedov is the sports hottest rising star right now. The Russian is unlucky not to be fighting Alvarez for the lightweight title himself and should have no problems extending his unbeaten record against Michael Johnson, who has lost two of his last three fights. However, Johnson has never lost via TKO/KO and therefore Nurmagomedov to win by submission at 4/1 looks a good bet.Jedrzejczyk vs Kowalkiewicz UFCs new Rousey Our exclusive interview with Joanna Jedrzejczyk Its the battle of the unbeaten Polish females for the first title fight of the night as straw weight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends her belt against Karolina Kowalkiewicz. The champion is arguably the best female fighter on the planet right now, although Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey may have something to say about that, but its not going to be an easy night for her in what could potentially be the fight of the night. The build-up started explosively with Jedrzejczyk seemingly head-butting her opponent at the weigh in. With seven of her 12 MMA wins coming via decision, you can expect the former kick-boxer to use aggressive and precise striking to successfully defend her belt via points. My bet is therefore Jedrzejczyk to win by decision at 10/11.Weidman v RomeroThis is closer fight than the odds would suggest, with both fighters having just one loss on their MMA records. Chris Weidman is the 4/7 favourite, which is too short for someone who hasnt fought for 11 months, having suffered injury setbacks since losing his title. It looks an even worse price when we consider that his opponent Yoel Romero has won seven straight fights with the last six going to a third round. Im going to avoid picking a side for this fight and instead my bet is going to be over 2.5 rounds at evens.Undercard AccaNurmagomedov to win by submission, Jedrzejczyk by decision & Over 2.5 rounds in Weidman v Romero - 18/1 Also See: Is the McGregor swagger back?
