The Indian womens hockey team slumped to their third successive loss at the Rio Olympics, going down 3-0 to USA.?Still seeking their first win after returning to womens Olympic hockey since their 1980 appearance, India were once again forced into the defensive for most part of the match, as USA dictated the pace.With the loss, India remain as one of the bottom two teams - the other being Japan - with just one point from four matches in the six-team Pool B standings; India will have to beat higher-ranked Argentina in their final pool fixture on August 13 for any chance of qualifying to the quarterfinals.The fitter and faster Americans kept the possession with them for long periods of the match while the Indians gave away the ball easily to their opponents, who got nine penalty corners over the course of the match; India won none.?All three of USAs goals, though, came from field efforts. Kathleen Bam scored twice -- in the 14th and 42nd minutes -- while Melissa Gonzalez struck once in the 52nd minute. The Indians had just a couple of shots at the opposition goal.Just when it seemed like India would maintain a clean slate in the first quarter, they conceded a goal in the 14th minute, with the dangerous Kathleen scoring a field goal following sloppy defending. Kathleens reverse shot went past the Indian goalkeeper Savita Punia.The Indians did better in the second quarter as they were able to stop the Americans from scoring, including from two penalty corners. In the 20th minute, Rani Rampals reverse hit found the target but it turned out that the ball sounded the board after being deflected from Preeti Dubeys leg, much to the disappointment of the Indian supporters. .India showed some purpose and intent to attack in the third quarter and they raided the USA defence on a few occasions. However, USA made it 2-0 with Kathleen scoring her second goal of the match in the 42nd minute, as she rounded off a defender with a reverse flick before sending the ball through the legs of Punia and into the goal.The Indian defence crumbled in the final quarter as they ventured higher on the field in search of a goal and were punished on the counter. Melissa fired in from close range in the 52nd minute after a neat passing interchange among three players.USA got three more penalty corners in the final quarter and put the Indian defence under severe pressure, but they could not add to their goal tally.?

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons defensive end Brooks Reed, who committed a crucial fourth-quarter penalty for 12 men on the field when he failed to hustle off, owned up to a mistake that could have been costly in the Falcons 33-32 victory over the Green Bay Packers?on Sunday.I opened up my Twitter and I just had to shut it down, Reed said of the criticism he received on social media afterward. I was getting killed.Reed admitted he should have moved faster to the sideline with 6 minutes, 46 seconds left in regulation and his team holding a 26-24 lead. Packers coach Mike McCarthy challenged there were too many men on the field and won as a result of Reeds lackadaisical effort. The end result was that QB?Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a touchdown and converted the two-point conversion, giving Green Bay a 32-26 edge.I had a feeling because when I turned around, they had called a quick play, Reed said of the Packers. I was like, Oh God. Please. No. I should have been running off the field. Simple as that. No excuse. It doesnt matter how tired I am. Its a basic thing. Youre off the field when youre coming out. We knew [Rodgers] did some of that stuff when youre exchanging personnel. Hell quick-snap it to get those calls.Its a crappy feeling, mman, when you could have cost your team the game.dddddddddddd Thats one of the worst feelings that someone could have.Reed was thankful QB?Matt Ryan and the offense pulled it out. Ryan hit Mohamed Sanu with a game-winning, 11-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds remaining.Hes just so cool under pressure, Reed said of Ryan. He just thrives with that. He steps his game up when pressure situations come on. And hes got the weapons to throw to.Falcons coach Dan Quinn was asked about his futile attempt to call timeout before the officials picked up on Reeds error.We thought we had an opportunity to sub, and it certainly went quicker than we thought, Quinn said. I ran down the sideline to call timeout, and certainly my quickness was not up to speed.Quinn was asked about Reeds quickness.Well, neither was his, Quinn joked.Reed said he sincerely regretted the mistake.Youre just playing your butt off, and then you get something called like that? Running off the field could have cost your team the game? God, man, he said. Unbelievably bad feeling in your stomach. I was like, Now Ive got to get a game-winning sack here. ' ' '
