TAMPA, Fla. -- Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears didnt give themselves a chance.Four first-half turnovers and a couple of big defensive lapses undermined the mistake-prone team during a 36-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.Cutler was hoping to build on a strong performance coming off an injury two weeks ago, but the Bears (2-7) were unable to retain their momentum coming out of a bye.Jameis Winston threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns for the Bucs (4-5), while Cutler threw two interceptions, fumbled twice and was sacked four times.Whole team was off today. Not sure how you can put it on one guy, coach John Fox after his team remained winless on the road. We werent as consistent as we were (in a win two weeks ago against Minnesota). I didnt see it coming. I thought we had a great week of preparation.Cutler threw a 50-yard TD pass to Cameron Meredith on the final play of the first half. He finished 16 of 30 for 182 yards, and rookie Jordan Howard rushed for 100 yards on 15 carries.The Bears, however, werent anywhere near good enough to overcome their mistakes.Cutlers first interception was returned for a touchdown, and his second-quarter fumble cost Chicago an opportunity to kick a short field goal that would have trimmed its deficit to 7-6. The quarterbacks other fumble resulted in a safety, and Howards second-quarter fumble set up Winstons TD pass to Cameron Brate.Any given week, you can win, you can lose. It depends on how you execute, Cutler said. Obviously, we didnt get the job done today.A couple more things to know about Bears-Buccaneers:PAINFUL CELEBRATIONTampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter had a bandage above his right eye during his postgame news conference, the result of a head butt from Chris Conte following his interception return for a touchdown.Chris Conte acts like hes never scored a touchdown before, Koetter said with a smile. When you come off after a score, its OK to head butt guys that have helmets on. He head-butted me in the head. Almost broke my glasses, my hat was off. But it feels good now.SELF-DESTRUCTIONThe Bears offense ventured into Tampa Bay territory on four of its first five possessions, yet only managed a field goal.Well go back to the drawing board, Fox said. Weve got to get better.HAIL MARYDeep in their own territory and down two touchdowns after turning the ball over four times, the Bears werent content with merely running out the final 31 seconds of the opening half. They used timeouts after Jeremy Langfords 13-yard run and Cutlers 4-yard completion to the reserve running back, and then set themselves up for a final play when KaDeem Carey scampered 16 yards to midfield on a reception before getting out of bounds. Cutler heaved his 50-yard TD pass to Meredith in the back of the end zone to finish a four-play, 83-yard drive.YOUNG PASSERWinstons second-quarter TD pass to Brate was the 40th of the second-year pros career. At 22 years, 312 days old, he is the youngest quarterback in NFL history to reach that plateau, doing it in 25 games. Hes on pace to top 4,000 yards passing for the second straight year, and he has thrown for 19 TDs versus 10 interceptions this season.CRAZY PLAYWinston often is at his best when improvising. A prime example was a third-and-10 play from the Tampa Bay 23 that saw him scramble all the way back into his own end zone before heaving a 39-yard completion to Mike Evans. The first overall pick from the 2015 draft threw a 43-yard TD pass to Freddie Martino for a 24-10 lead on the next play.Koetter noted one of Winstons strongest attributes is he almost never gives up on a play.Thats a two-way street. That helps us sometimes. It hurts us other times, the coach said. Youve got to love that kid, the way he battles.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Gary Sanchez is doing all he can to keep the New York Yankees in playoff contention.The rookie slugger hit his 17th homer in 42 games this season, a three-run shot in a four-run seventh inning that sent the Yankees past the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 on Tuesday night to snap a five-game skid.Amazing, incredible, impressive, teammate Mark Teixeira said. Hes carried us. Were not even close to talking about a playoff berth if Gary doesnt come up and do what he does.The banged-up Yankees moved within 3 1/2 games of Baltimore for the second AL wild card. New York would also have to jump over the Mariners, Astros and Tigers to earn a postseason berth.Sanchez tied Wally Berger of the 1930 Boston Braves for the most homers by a big league player through 44 career games, according to Baseball-Reference data available through 1913.Im enjoying it, especially when you win the game, Sanchez said through a translator.Sanchez gave the Yankees a 5-2 lead with his drive off Brad Boxberger (4-3). It was the young catchers sixth home run in 11 games following a 10-game drought.Hes meant a lot, New York manager Joe Girardi said. Offensively and defensively. Its kind of fitting that he got the big hit.Sanchezs shot came after Tampa Bay opted not to walk him with first base open and two outs.Had Boxy fallen behind, maybe youd think about it, but this is a guy whos gotten a lot of big outs for us in the past and trust him to get outs, Rays manager Kevin Cash said.Teixeira hit a solo shot in the fourth for New York, which was swept in a four-game series at Boston last weekend and had lost seven of eight overall.It was Teixeiras 407th homer, which tied Duke Snider for 54th place on baseballs career list. The switch-hitting first baseman has hit 204 for the Yankees, moving him past Roger Maris and into a tie with Robinson CCano for 14th in franchise history.dddddddddddd havent hit a ball right-handed like that in a long time, Teixeira said.Yankees center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury (bruised right knee), third baseman Chase Headley (back spasms) and second baseman Starlin Castro (strained right hamstring) were all out of the lineup for the second straight game.Luis Severino (3-8) pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the win. Dellin Betances got three outs for his 12th save.New York starter Michael Pineda gave up two runs and struck out 11 in 5 1/3 innings.Brad Miller put the Rays up 2-0 with a two-run triple in the third.Tampa Bay lefty Drew Smyly allowed one run over six innings.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Ellsbury didnt rule out starting Wednesday. ... Headley could be back late this week. ... OF Aaron Hicks (right hamstring) was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list.Rays: OF Steven Souza Jr. (left hip) and 1B Logan Morrison (left wrist) will both have surgery Wednesday. ... Utility man Nick Franklin (left hamstring) might not play again this season.KAPRIELIANS COMEBACKYankees minor league right-hander James Kaprielian, out since late April with an elbow injury, threw 30 pitches during his second batting practice session. The 2015 first-round draft pick might pitch in the Arizona Fall League. This year I learned a lot, and for me this is a big character test, Kaprielian said. Battle these frustrations. I think in the long run this is going to help me.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Masahiro Tanaka (13-4), who is 6-0 in his last eight starts, takes the ball Wednesday night. He is 5-0 in seven career starts against the Rays.Rays: RHP Alex Cobb (1-0) makes his fourth start since returning from Tommy John surgery. ' ' '
