LANDOVER, Md. - Two demonstrations of social activism by some St. Louis Rams players havent affected the teams performance on the field.To the contrary, the Rams havent put up back-to-back games like this in nearly seven decades.The Rams blanked the Washington Redskins 24-0 Sunday, giving the franchise its first winning streak of the season and its first consecutive shutouts since the Cleveland Rams beat the Chicago Cardinals 21-0 and the Chicago Bears 17-0 during the 1945 season.1945? Were about to shut out three! defensive tackle Michael Brockers said. Whens the last time we shut out three?That would be never. Brockers will get a chance to back up the guarantee at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.Such blustering aside, several Rams players offered another sobering reminder of life and death beyond the confines of football. Guard Davin Joseph wrote the words I Cant Breathe on the cleats he wore during pregame warmups. Receiver Kenny Britt wrote on his cleats several names of black men or teens, including Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, whose deaths led to protests.And, of course, this was the same team whose receivers performed a Hands Up, Dont Shoot! show of solidarity before a home game a week earlier. The slogans reference Eric Garner and Brown, who were killed in confrontations with police in cases which, amid much dispute, did not lead to indictment by grand juries.Every life in this world is worth something, Joseph said. And when you lose one, it hurts, no matter who it is. We have to stand for the value of life.Heres more from a game that pushed the Rams to 6-7 and dropped the Redskins to 3-10:GOOSE EGG REDUX: The Rams throttled the Oakland Raiders 52-0 the previous week, so the shutouts have come against a pair of bottom-feeders. Still, its not easy to keep a team scoreless in the modern NFL; no team had posted back-to-back shutouts since the Dallas Cowboys late in the 2009 season.The Rams limited the Redskins to 206 total yards and had seven sacks. The defence has 29 sacks over six games.Were built to rush, weve known that, coach Jeff Fisher said, so its nice to get back on track a little bit.RUBBING IT IN: The six players sent out by Fisher for the coin toss were part of the teams three-year haul stemming from the deal that allowed the Redskins to select Robert Griffin III in the 2012 draft. Right now, that looks like a one-sided trade — because Griffin has been benched twice in two years and his future in Washington is in doubt.I will always be remembered as (being a part of) that blockbuster trade, Brockers said. And, you know, the Rams won. The Rams won that one.RG3 PLAYS: Griffin did make it into the game because Redskins starter Colt McCoy suffered a sprained neck when sacked for the sixth time with 2 minutes to play. McCoy was sent to the hospital for X-rays, and first-year coach Jay Gruden, whose future might be as tenuous as Griffins, said hell review both McCoys health and performance before deciding who starts next week.Colt hurt his neck, Gruden said, so we are back to the drawing board.KICKING MISADVENTURES: St. Louis Greg Zuerlein missed an extra point, a 28-yard chip shot and a 38-yard field goal attempt — all wide right — before sneaking one just inside the upright from 34.After the game in the locker room, Fisher brought some levity to his kickers struggles by having holder Johnny Hekker put the ball down and Zuerlein kick it into a locker while the rest of the team watched.Anytime you have a day like this, its never easy to show your face around everyone, Zuerlein said. But coach Fisher is awesome.GEOLOGY CHECK: The Redskins have lost five straight, have their fifth double-digit loss season in six years, and are heading into another December of turmoil that will focus on the futures of coaches, quarterbacks and the front office.Ive said rock-bottom once before, Washington linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. It downplays what rock-bottom is if you keep saying (it) every time you lose.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Nike Vapormax Scontate .

United on Wednesday night. Forward Bright Dike scored the games only goal in the 85th minute on a foggy night in Bradenton, Fla. http://www.airmaxshoponlineitalia.it/sco...lus-outlet.html. "I wouldnt read anything into what happened Saturday at Torrey Pines," Woods said Tuesday after an 18-hole exhibition for past winners of the Dubai Desert Classic. Scarpe Lebron James 2019 . Lynchs attorney, Ivan Golde, told The Associated Press on Thursday of the plea deal that was reached with the Alameda County District Attorney Office. The plea will be formally entered in court in Oakland, Calif. Air Max Plus Near Me . A broadcast source said the deal is for five years. The agreement calls for a minimum of 17 regular-season games as well as the East and West Division finals being broadcast annually on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNEWS.The San Antonio Spurs will try to keep the momentum going against the Portland Trail Blazers when the two squads meet for Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal series Thursday at AT&T Center. The Spurs squashed the Blazers in Game 1 Tuesday night, 116-92. Tony Parker led six San Antonio players in double figures with 33 points and doled out nine assists as the seasoned veterans imposed their will against the younger, more inexperienced Blazers. The Spurs did not need their stars down the stretch for the second straight game thanks to building a big lead that was never seriously threatened. Marco Belinelli contributed 19 points off the bench, Tim Duncan finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds. For Duncan, it was his 152nd career double-double in the postseason, which is second to Magic Johnsons 157. Kawhi Leonard added 16 points and nine boards for San Antonio, which ousted the eighth-seeded Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 on Sunday with a similarly lopsided 23-point rout. "We have to realize Game 1 is just Game 1. Its just one game," Parker said. "They will come out with a lot of energy (in Game 2) and we have to match that." Patty Mills and Aaron Baynes, who played one game in the Dallas series, both had 10 for the second unit. The Spurs benched destroyed their Portland counterparts, 50-18, which makes sense considering the San Antonio bench finished first in the regular season in bench scoring and tthe Blazers were last.dddddddddddd LaMarcus Aldridge put up 32 points and 14 rebounds for Portland, while Damian Lillard, the hero in the series clincher against the Houston Rockets on Friday, started slow and ended with 17 points on 6-of-15 shooting. Robin Lopez was the only other Portland player in double figures Tuesday night with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Portland reached the Western Conference semifinals for the first time in 14 years when Lillard ended the Rockets season with a dramatic buzzer-beating 3- pointer in Game 6. In the Blazers first six possessions of Game 1, they missed six shots, had two turnovers and trailed 8-0 after Parker drove to the hoop for two. An early timeout did little to help Portland, which shot 21.7 percent (5- of-23) from the field in the opening frame and nearly got outscored by Parker himself, with the All-Star point guards 13-point quarter leading the way to a 29-16 spread. "I think San Antonios energy was at a high level and it took us a little while to catch up to that level," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said after practice on Wednesday. "Youve got to learn from it and youve got to get off to a better start." Portland, which committed 20 turnovers to just nine assists, had posted a 14-7 record against San Antonio the past five regular seasons, the best record in the NBA against the Spurs in that time. Game 3 will be Saturday night at the Moda Center in Portland. ' ' '
