NEW ORLEANS -- While Rams rookie Jared Goff couldnt keep up with Drew Brees and the prolific New Orleans Saints, he just might have given Los Angeles hope that its No. 1 overall draft pick will in fact pan out.There were moments of brilliance as he showed off his touch, strength, and sometimes, guts, while throwing for 214 yards and three touchdowns in his first road start on Sunday. He made some mistakes, too, losing a fumble deep in Rams territory and throwing an interception near midfield. But coach Jeff Fisher sounded as if he was more concerned with his defense than Goffs performance in a 49-21 loss.Jared did a really nice job in the first half, especially in the two-minute drive, Fisher said. I thought he got better, which was encouraging.Goff is the latest in a string of heralded rookie QBs making themselves at home in the Superdome in one of their first road starts.Robert Griffin III in 2012, along with Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota in 2015, all led their teams to wins at New Orleans, completing a combined 70 percent of their passes for nearly 900 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions.Goff built on his first career start a week ago at home, a 14-10 loss to Miami in which he was just 55 percent passing with no touchdowns or interceptions.I obviously felt a lot more comfortable in my second game, just from experience, Goff said. Felt better out there -- was able to see it a lot better and it began to slow down a little bit for sure about halfway through the first half.Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro was impressed with the former California quarterback, who delivered several completions under pressure, releasing the ball accurately moments before absorbing heavy hits.He has pretty good arm talent. Hes young. Youre on the road in a hostile environment, and his books just starting, Vaccaro said. Each day, each month, each year is a new chapter for him. Hell keep growing.Against the Saints, he spread the ball around, hitting seven different receivers while completing 20 of 32 attempts. The Rams converted both of their red-zone chances with touchdown passes to Kenny Britt and Lance Kendricks.Goffs first career touchdown pass was a perfect throw to Tavon Austin, who caught the 24-yard scoring strike in stride in the end zone for a 7-0 Rams lead.Goff led Los Angeles on an eight-play, 79-yard drive at the end of the second quarter that ended with the touchdown pass to Kendricks and cut New Orleans lead to 28-21.He made some really good throws in the two-minute drive off his back foot and put the ball in the end zone, Fisher said.Added running back Todd Gurley: He definitely felt a lot more comfortable this game than last game -- came out spinning it that first half.He also, however, showed an inability to get rid of the ball when the pocket was collapsing on him. He was sacked three times and was hit a total of eight times when dropping back to pass.That might be what Goff focuses on this week as he prepares for the New England Patriots and his third start.I dont want to be out here saying Im happy with what we did or what I did or anything in between because Im really not if we dont win, Goff said.

Willy Caballero Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J. BOSTON -- The crowd goes wild as U-S-A chants fill the Boch Centers Wang Theatre. Weve seen this before in Seattle in front of tens of thousands, but American pride is at an all-time high following one of the biggest wins on Thursday in the past few months from North Americas most popular Dota 2 team, Evil Geniuses.Four months ago, Wings Gaming decimated Evil Geniuses at Seattles KeyArena during The International 6, a tournament which Evil Geniuses had won just a year prior. But on Wednesday, a rematch between the teams took place in the Round of 16 of The Boston Major, one of two events leading up to the International 7 in 2017. Evil Geniuses, for their part, reversed the roles and smashed the reigning International champions 2-0.For Evil Geniuses coach Clinton Fear Loomis, a retired player who was on the team during their historic International 5 win in 2015, and also a member of the team who lost to Wings in August, the Wings Gaming win on Wednesday was a massive confidence boost.It felt really great [to beat Wings], he says. [They are] one of the most respected teams, but especially by our guys in particular. We respect them a lot. Being able to overcome them when were feeling down was probably one of the biggest confidence boosters we could have.That boost paid dividends on Friday morning as Evil Geniuses beat Virtus.Pro, a team which has won several tournaments prior to the event and was a favorite coming into the Boston Major. Predictably, the crowd roared for their home team, EG. Hundreds of fans then lined up in the two lower levels of the Wang Theatre to meet and greet with Evil Geniuses.But despite the Virtus.Pro win, Evil Geniuses side of the bracket will continue to get harder. The team will now face OG, a two-time major winner that defeated Evil Geniuses at The Summit 6 several weeks ago. That match on Saturday will determine which of the two moves onto the grand finals.If we do it make it to grand finals, its going to be quite the journey and we would be very confident because we wouldve gone through a lot of the tough competition already, Fear says. Thats the most exciting thing for me. The journey to get to the grand finals is very tough for us.Unlike previous tournaments, however, there is no second chance here in Boston. One series loss and youre out, something new to Dota 2 tournaments, particularly as The International has been praised for its double-elimination bracket.I think what were really looking forward since we won [Wednesday], the format is kind of interesting for us, Fear says. Its a single-elimination tournament and on top of that, we believe to have the harder side of the bracket. So basically whoever wins their side of the bracket is guaranteed grand finals, [but] I think our side of the bracket, in my opinion, has four of the best or hardest teams that most people thought going into this tournament.ddddddddddddThe Boston Major doesnt just mark a stepping stone for Evil Geniuses in bracket strength, but its the first major tournament the team has competed in since a massive restructuring in September through October. The team not only made two roster changes -- bringing back Artour Arteezy Babaev and adding Andreas Cr1t- Nielsen -- but also made organizational changes, having former Dota player Peter ppd Dager move to a managerial role atop the organization and Fear became coach.I think the restructuring [in Evil Geniuses] in particular was just trying something new, Fear says about the changes. Before, you would just have some captain, older players just kind of leading the younger guys. Instead [now], were just trying to bring in all the talent and then we have the older players helping from outside instead of inside the game.Fear says that he believes in their current talent but that success will rely on how the teams two new members, Arteezy and Cr1t-, mesh into the team.Its a new way of looking at it and its something I think has a lot of promise, because in particular [Arteezy] is a great player, he says. He hasnt had the most success before but I think I can lend him my wisdom and he can play the role I played better than I can. If they can all just get their stuff together and [Cr1t-] needs to be able to pull them together as the captain, because you need to have an in-game captain. If hes able to pull them, which hes doing a really good job, this team should be, on paper, one of the strongest teams in Dota.While The International 6 marked an end to Fears 11-year competitive playing career, his role as a coach in the team is still in the process of being figured out. Like many other retired pros, he has moved into the role without any form of coaching experience. As a player, he was often praised as being an encyclopedia of Dota knowledge, but he seems himself differently in the role. He says that he wants to offer his player skills and knowledge of how to be successful, rather than strategic advice.Most of the coaching structure right now [in Dota] is players who are current players but failed to get to an event, he says. There are a lot of smart players in Dota and someone will be in the qualifiers but its unfortunate when they dont qualify but they still want to be part of the experience. Im not going to be actively competing in any tournaments from now on, Im just going to be using my previous experience. Its still fresh in my head now, but going on in the next 2-3 years, if I dont continue playing, how good will I be as a coach still? Im not sure. Ill still just do it for now and right now, I am enjoying it and well see where it goes. ' ' '
