STORYLINE & RULES » East Coast. After another round of showers, t

The third week of any season is not the point where teams, the media or fans can make many definitive statements about a specific club.In another month, fortunes will rise and fall within the divisions. Its why every game is important in the seasons final reckoning and the race for the playoffs.That makes Sundays meeting at Arrowhead Stadium (4:25 p.m. ET) a very important game for the New York Jets (1-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (1-1).Both teams have seen very good play from parts of their roster, while at times also trying to solve problems with underachievement. The watch word around these teams would be Inconsistent.However, both clubs should be in the mix in December when the leagues contenders are fighting for spots in the playoffs. A 10-game winning streak at the end of the 2015 season punched Kansas Citys ticket to the playoffs, while the Jets chance evaporated in a loss to Buffalo in the last game of the regular season.This is one of those games that looks good in the AFC standings and head-to-head tie-breakers.You love challenges in this business, from a coaching standpoint and player standpoint, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. You work so hard to play against good caliber players. Thats what this group is, so thatll be something to watch.Jets head coach Todd Bowles knows what to expect from Kansas City. He was part of Reids coaching staff in Philadelphia during the 2012 season.Theyre hard-nosed, tough and physical on both sides of the ball, Bowles said. Theyve got playmakers on the outside, ball hawks at the corners, a tough safety, strong fast linebackers. They have a slew of running backs, a great tight end, a great receiver, and a quarterback whos very good.That quarterback is Alex Smith and hes been the picture of inconsistency over the first two games.In the opener against San Diego, Smith had one of the best passing days of his career in leading the Chiefs back from a 21-point deficit to beat the Chargers in overtime. Last Sunday, he was erratic and turned the ball over twice in the loss at Houston. The Chiefs did not score a touchdown against the Texans.Ultimately it comes down to a lack of execution, Smith said. This last week certainly, every drive we had -- whether it be a penalty, a turnover, a sack, or a negative play -- it stalls the drive and its hard to overcome versus a talented defense.The start of the season has brought about questions concerning Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. Long considered one of the leagues top cover corners, the 31-year old Revis has struggled as Cincinnati wide receiver A.J. Green burned him and Buffalos Marquise Goodwin caught an 84-yard touchdown pass.Reid, however, said he didnt see anything on the game tapes to show a crack in Revis skill level.Hes getting older, but hes wiser, Reid said. Ive got a ton of respect for the guy. He transitions so easy with his hips and his ability to look back and run fast are unbelievable.Listen, I know theyre saying he got beat. Maybe he gets beat one time. But the ones that people are saying, he didnt have help on; there werent people in the middle of the field. So thats not his responsibility. He looks pretty good me. He looks pretty stinking good.While the Jets have the veteran presence of Revis in their secondary, the Chiefs are like a football daycare center for cornerbacks. They play three in coordinator Bob Suttons scheme: Phillip Gaines (25), Steven Nelson (22) and Marcus Peters (23). That group has struggled in two games, giving up 100-yard receiving performances last Sunday to Houstons DeAndre Hopkins and rookie Will Fuller.The Jets offense enters the game with a great deal of confidence after their victory last week over Buffalo. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance, completing 24 of 34 passes for 374 yards and a touchdown toss. New York ran up 493 yards against the Bills.Its fun with everybody involved and everybody making plays, Fitzpatrick said. The confidence in the huddle and the way the guys felt, we knew we were going to get in the end zone.Fitzpatrick also understands that this Sunday dawns a new NFL day.The NFL is crazy in that were only as good as what we do this week, he said. Were not going to sit and celebrate last week because we have to move on. We have a team that last year won 11 straight and were a playoff team and have played very well already this year. And, its a very tough place to play. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Antlia Kopen . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home.

The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves waited a long time to get going. Finally, at 1:22 a.m., Freddie Freeman gave them a most improbable victory. Freeman hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to ruin a brilliant performance by Dillon Gee, leading the Braves past the Mets 2-1 Monday night in a game that was delayed nearly four hours by rain. Gee (5-7) drove in New Yorks lone run and totally shut down the Braves until the end. Justin Upton singled with one out before Freeman launched a towering drive into the right-field seats on a 2-2 pitch to end a game that didnt start until nearly 11 p.m. Until then, Gee had allowed only two runners as far as second base. "Its nice to wait around that long and get the win," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Our best two at-bats were our last two." Freeman had three hits on the night, but what hell remember most is the second game-ending homer of his career. "I knew I hit it good enough," he said. "I didnt know if it was going to stay fair, actually, because it was an inside pitch. I didnt know if I was able to get my hands inside. But once I saw it get up to its highest peak, I knew it was gone." For the Mets, it was another bitter blow in a disappointing season, especially coming off a walk-off victory of their own the previous day, when they scored four runs in the ninth for a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. This time, they watched the Braves mob Freeman at home plate in a wild celebration. "Its tough," said Gee, who lost for the first time in five career starts at Turner Field. "Thats a tough loss." The right-hander badly fooled Freeman on a changeup with his 100th pitch of the night. For No. 101, he tried to finish off the slugging first baseman with a slider. Bad move. Gee was denied his first career shutout on a night when he allowed just five hits. "He had seen a lot of changeups," Gee said. "I thought the slider was the right pitch. I just didnt make a good one." David Carpenter (1-0) earned the win with a scoreless ninth. Tim Hudson worked seven innings for the Braves, allowing only Gees RBI single with two outs in the seventh. Rain pushed back the first pitch 3 hours, 43 minutes — the long delay coming at a most inopportune time with the teams facing a day-night doubleheader Tuesday to make up a game that was rained out on May 4. But at least the Mets got this one in. Not even midway through the season, theyve already had six games postponed by inclement weather. The announced crowd of 22,048 appeared to be less than 10,000 by the time the game finally started, and dwindled even more before it ended less than 12 hours before the scheduled start of the doubleheader at 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday. Gonzalez wasnt even bothering to go home, saying he planned to spend the night at the ballparrk.ddddddddddddThe Braves lined up hotel rooms nearby for any players who wanted to stay close to Turner Field with such a short turnaround. Hudson pitched around trouble until the seventh. New York pushed runners into scoring position four times in the first six innings, but Hudson escaped three times with strikeouts, the other time with a double play. Finally, New York broke through. John Buck led off the seventh with a single and scored from second when Gee grounded a single to left with two outs. Until the ninth, Atlantas only serious scoring threat against Gee came in the second, when Freeman led off with a double into the right-field corner. Evan Gattis grounded out, B.J. Upton flied out and Dan Uggla whiffed to end the inning. Lucas Duda started at first base and got four hits, after the Mets reversed course on moving him from the outfield to his more natural position. They feared using Duda at first might send the wrong message to former starter Ike Davis, whos been demoted to Triple-A to try to work out of a massive slump. Clearly, the move agreed with Duda, who had four hits in a game for the third time in his career. The last came on Sept. 16, 2011, against the Braves in Atlanta. About 45 minutes after the scheduled first pitch, the rain let up. The crowd cheered when the grounds crew ran on the field to sponge off the tarp and pull it into the outfield, but their hopes of getting started were quickly dashed. Radar showed another thick line of storms moving in from the west, so Braves officials held off on starting the game. What remained of the sparse crowd had to pass the time by watching coverage of the Philadelphia-Washington game on the big video board in centre field. That game ended before this one even started, as did every contest on the East Coast. After another round of showers, the Braves optimistically announced the game would begin at 10:05 p.m. The tarp was removed, the players warmed up, the lineups were announced, and a choir came out to belatedly sing the national anthem. But the rain picked up again, and the tarp had to be put back on. Finally, at 10:53 p.m., Hudson threw the first pitch to Juan Lagares. NOTES: The Braves plan to add RHP Cory Rasmus to their roster as an extra player for Tuesdays doubleheader. The Mets will boost their roster to 26 players by activating RHP Scott Atchison. ...
