THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Jared Goff nearly made his NFL debut Sunday after starting quarterback Case Keenum bruised his non-throwing hand during the Los Angeles Rams fourth consecutive loss.I said, `Jared, get warmed up, get ready, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Monday. He said, `Coach, Im ready. I said, `I know you are.But when Keenum determined he could continue, the NFLs No. 1 overall draft pick remained rooted to the Los Angeles bench, where he has stayed for the entire first half of his rookie year. The Rams subsequently lost their fourth straight game, falling to 3-5 in a season that could be slipping away.Fisher believes Goff is ready to play if needed, but he still doesnt expect his prized pick to make his debut soon, despite the We want Goff! chants that echoed down from the Coliseum stands, imploring the Rams to see what theyve got.Keenum will start again this weekend when the Rams visit the similarly struggling New York Jets (3-6).I know everybody wants to talk about it, and thats the big question, Fisher said. Hes going to play. Whether its the following week or the following week, its eventually going to happen. Big-picture, as I keep saying, this is about making sure hes ready to go out there and be sharp and give us a chance to win.But the Rams havent won since Oct. 2, largely due to an offense thats showing few signs of progress lately. Other than a solid effort in a loss at Detroit last month, the Rams offense hasnt cracked 20 points since September. They got a meager one touchdown and 10 points apiece in the last two games from a unit ranked 31st in total offense with just 311.5 yards per game.Although his passer rating is a pedestrian 77.2, ranking him 29th among players with at least 100 pass attempts this season, Keenum has been neither spectacular nor terrible most weeks. He has been just solid enough to allow Fisher to make a persuasive argument that Keenum isnt the Rams biggest problem.Todd Gurley and the running game are largely unable to move the ball, and theyre currently sitting 30th in the NFL with just 77.2 yards per game after Gurleys 48-yard performance against Carolina. A standout quarterback can prevent defenses from focusing on the running game, but repeatedly playing with a deficit has forced Los Angeles to abandon the ground attack early, which means Gurley has just 41 carries in the last three games.Fisher claims he understands the fans eagerness and the logic behind their urgency, but the inert offensive effort against Carolina didnt change his mind. He also rejected the notion that the Rams wont turn to Goff unless theyre out of the playoff race later this season. The Rams havent made the playoffs since 2004 or had a winning record since 2003.I dont think the playoff contention (metric) is fair to the football team, Fisher said. Our expectations are were going to stay in it, so well see. Im not ruling out the possibility that hell make a playoff run for us as well. But for right now, Case is starting, and were going to New York.Fisher also has no public concerns about his contract status. The veteran coachs deal is up this season, and owner Stan Kroenke has made no public announcement about Fishers future after four straight losing seasons with the club.Im not uncomfortable at all, Fisher said. Im uncomfortable because I didnt expect to be 3-and-whatever we are, but Im not uncomfortable at all. I never look over my shoulder. Were moving on. Stan and I are on the same page. He understands what weve been through. Hes as disappointed as I am with the losses, two or three points, seven points, in the last three games. He understands that were competitive and were doing everything we possibly can to get this turned around.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Max 270 React Noir Bleu Pas Cher . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. OKLAHOMA CITY -- Of the three categories that Russell Westbrook is averaging double figures in, the one that most believed would be the hardest for him was rebounds. At just 6-foot-3 and playing point guard, it didnt seem possible in todays game that he could pile up the boards.Yet, entering Friday nights game against the Houston Rockets, Westbrook is averaging 10.9 rebounds per game. That puts him ninth in the NBA ahead of the likes of All-Star big men such as DeMarcus Cousins, Karl-Anthony Towns, Blake Griffin and Kevin Love.When he defensive rebounds, it helps us, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. Anytime he defensive rebounds he is starting the break. That is obviously where he is very explosive. He is getting the ball earlier. His defensive rebounding to me pushes the pace and allows our guys to get out and run.Westbrooks rebounding has been key in putting a together a streak of six consecutive triple-doubles. Another one would tie him with Oscar Robertson (1961) and Michael Jordan (1989) for the second-longest streak in NBA history.As a team, the Thunder are third in the NBA in rebounding at 46.1. After Westbrook, center Steven Adams is next in line with a 7.7 average. Backup center Enes Kanter averages six boards a game.But one of the keys for not only Westbrook to flourish on the boards, but also the entire team, the players say they have no jealousy when Westbrook swoops in and snags a board while the big men are battling under the rim.No one cares. Wed rather it be him, Adams said. I like it because I can actually box out my dude. Its good that he gets to come in and take them.When Oklahoma City defeated Houston 105-103 last month, it was the Rockets who won the rebounding batttle 47-44.dddddddddddd Westbrook was held to seven rebounds.In that same contest, the Rockets allowed a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter to slip away. Much of that was due to a horrendous shooting night from James Harden, who was 4 of 16 from the field.Since that loss, Houston has rang up a 9-2 record and is only three games behind the San Antonio Spurs in the Southwest Division. One of the wins was a double-overtime victory against the Golden State Warriors, who own the best record in the NBA.The Rockets are coming off a 134-95 trouncing of the Los Angeles Lakers. Guard Eric Gordon drained a career-best eight 3-pointers as the team continues to put up long distance shots with no conscience. They are first in the league at 37 attempts from 3-point range per game and have set an NBA record by making 10 or more 3-pointers in 21 consecutive games.Im just settling in on my role and my role is definitely to bring a different energy and scoring, playmaking with the second unit, Gordon told reporters. Im settling in and its getting better and better. Teammates look for me and its just up to me to knock down shots.Houston (15-7) is carrying a four-game winning streak while Oklahoma City (14-8) has won six in a row.Even though its been less than a month since the last time the Rockets were in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Donovan says neither team is playing the same.I dont think it is so much that Houston has changed, Donovan said. Theyre evolving and getting better. I would hope that were doing the same thing. Were evolving, were getting better. Were improving. ' ' '
