JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Blake Bortles remembers very little about his first career start, which came at San Diego two years ago. His only vivid recollection: Sailing a pass 15 feet over Allen Robinsons head on the first play of the game.Jacksonville ended up losing 33-14 , extending the franchises West Coast losing streak to seven games.Bortles and the Jaguars (0-1) hope to deliver a considerably better performance in their return Sunday.I think its different, Bortles said. In the years past, theres a mindset of kind of, `Here we go again, whether its during the game, whether its after the game, whether its going into the next game. This team doesnt have that. I dont see that in anybody. ... Were going to go through this week and prepare as hard as we can and were going to expect the best when we go out on Sunday.The Jaguars have been far from their best out west. They are 2-10 all-time on the West Coast and winless in San Diego. Its a trend Jacksonville needs to reverse to avoid a 0-2 start for the fourth time in the last five seasons.Weve got to go out there and just handle our business, tight end Marcedes Lewis said. I feel like the makeup we have on this team right now is totally different than what weve had in the last six or seven years. Were looking forward to the opportunity. We understand whats at stake. This is an AFC game at the end of the day, too. Weve got to have it.Jacksonville surely would improve its chances by playing better against quarterback Philip Rivers, who has torched the Jaguars during his career.Rivers has completed 71 percent of his passes for 1,899 yards, with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions in six career games (5-1) against the Jags. Hes been at his best the last two years, totaling 677 yards passing and seven touchdowns -- and no turnovers.He has the ability to put some big numbers up, regardless of who is playing for him, Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said. It is a big-time challenge for us this week.Playing across the country has been an equally tough task for Jacksonville.The Jags havent won on the west coast since 2004 and have been outscored 222-79 during the seven-game losing streak, falling by double digits in six of those. They have given up at least 30 point in all three losses at the Chargers.I dont know, man, Lewis said. I dont what it is about the West Coast, but I do know theres going to be a lot of sleep and hydration and just be ready to play. Coach always stresses us being able to go anywhere at any time and compete. Well, we needed to have that attitude, and I think this year it will different.Coming off a 27-23 loss to Green Bay in the opener, the Jaguars were angry they blew a chance to upset a perennial playoff contender. They also realized there was plenty of progress made in the oh-so-close setback, especially for a franchise that has lost 37 of its last 49 games.Going back to San Diego give them a chance to show it.Not to make any excuses or nothing, but we have a better team this year, defensive tackle Roy Miller said. A lot of people on this team feel like when we play at our best that looks pretty good. I dont think we get too caught up in the weather and the travel distance and being on the West Coast. There are so many different things you can try to use as a rabbits foot. Wed rather just play well and win, which we know we can do.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFLAdidas Yeezy 350 Canada Wholesale .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night.

After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday.Jonny Wilkinsons resurgence after his injury-blighted years has convinced Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill that Manu Tuilagi has yet to reach his peak.Tuilagi is on course to be picked in a matchday squad within two to three weeks after making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation from the groin problem that has ruined the past two years of his career.Now free of his pubis symphisis condition, the 25-year-old centre is suffering only from muscle tightness and while he could be pitched in action this weekend, Cockerill is mindful that if it goes ping, then wed be starting from scratch again.Repeated aborted comebacks have raised concerns over Tuilagis long-term future, but his club boss insists he only need look at how Wilkinson recovered from the injury-ravaged years of 2004-09 for inspiration.If you look at Jonny Wilkinson as an example, he had a lot of injuries over a long time, went to Toulon and was the European player of the year for that period of time, Cockerill said.I have every confidence that Manu will make a full recovery and I dont think youve seen the best of him. Hes still a young man and still has a lot of rugby in him.In January, Tuilagi returned from a 15-month absence caused by his career-threatening groin problem only for subsequent comebacks to end amid two separate hamstring complaints, a knee issue and a flare-up of the original groin injury.The setbacks have left Leicester, who host Racing 992 in the Champions Cup on Sunday, unwilling to take any risks in his comeback.ddddddddddddManu is out jogging around and doing lots of the unit stuff already. We are hoping that within the next two to three weeks he will take some part in a squad to play and see where we are at, Cockerill said.If all goes to plan, it will be then. And if hes not ready, it will be a bit longer. Hes doing all his rehab, his weight is good, hes very engaged with rehab, his lifestyle is good and he looks in great nick. Its all positive.Previously, with the groin in particular, he could do nothing. If exercise is your life, then thats quite hard. If you can train, still get that buzz from training, then theres a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. When youre just resting, thats a hard place to be.Leicester are reeling from Fridays 42-13 defeat at Glasgow and Cockerill is demanding Tigers bounce back against Racing at Welford Road.I used to not sleep because my kids would wake me up. Now I just dont sleep, but I am up for the battle, he said.At the moment its tough, but as I have said previously you will see lot of peoples character traits and how they behave when things are a bit difficult.A bit of hard work, belief and belligerence gets you a long way - it seems to have worked in the past. And I dont know any other way. ' ' '
