NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Being routed by a pair of former Jaguars coaches in the span of five days may be the final straw for Gus Bradley in Jacksonville.After Jack Del Rio and his Oakland Raiders beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville 33-16 on Sunday, the Tennessee Titans and Mike Mularkey -- the coach owner Shad Khan fired after one season -- embarrassed the Jaguars 36-22 on Thursday night in a game where their play matched the flat mustard of their uniforms.This loss dropped Bradleys record in four seasons to 14-41, and he already came in with the second worst winning percentage for any coach in NFL history with at least 50 games of experience. Only Bert Bell (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) fared worse, and he also was the owner.The Jaguars melted down so much late in their loss to the Raiders that Khan reportedly spoke to the Jaguars on Monday trying to learn what has gone wrong after he spent millions upgrading both the roster and their home stadium. Khan made it clear earlier this year that a winning record was the reasonable expectation.Jacksonville already has had its bye earlier this month, and this will be the last time the Jaguars (2-5) have more than a week between games the rest of this season if Khan decides he cant wait to make a coaching change.As ugly as that loss to Oakland was, the Jaguars looked even worse against the Titans.Tennessee nearly had more points (24) than the Jaguars had total offense (29) late in the second quarter. The Jaguars did have more personal foul penalties (two) than first downs (one), and they even had the ball go off the back of Arrelious Benns helmet when he drew a penalty for interfering with Marc Mariani trying to catch a punt.Jacksonville rarely threatened Marcus Mariota who had plenty of time to throw most of the night, and he found Titans running wide-open over and over again. By halftime, Tennessee had outgained the Jaguars 354-60.Blake Bortles struggled to find time to throw against Tennessees pass rush. He even bounced one pass after Bradley gave him a vote of confidence early this week, saying: I firmly, firmly believe in Blake Bortles, without a doubt.But the Jaguars run game was so poor that Bortles also led them in rushing with 11 yards on two carries through three quarters. He finally helped Jacksonville avoid being shut out when he found Julius Thomas for a 10-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Bortles added a two more TDs in the final 3:11 to make the final margin more respectable.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The San Antonio Spurs are only now getting used to having their starting five perfectly healthy. Not that its kept them from navigating the road unblemished during the seasons first three weeks.The Spurs carry a 5-0 road mark into Wednesdays contest at Sacramento, a place where theyve already won once this season. Danny Green, a 10.6.-point-per-game scorer in 16 games against Sacramento, missed San Antonios first nine contests, including its 102-94 victory here on Oct. 27.That marked one of nine games the Spurs (8-3) endured without their forecasted starting five. All three losses came without 19-year veteran Tony Parker, who sat with a knee injury.Parker, Green, Kawhi Leonard (25.5 points per game), LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol did not take the floor together until Nov. 12 in Houston. On Wednesday, theyll be starting together for the third straight game -- the Spurs have won three straight since Parker returned.Tony is Tony, teammate Manu Ginobili told the San Antonio Express-News after the Spurs 94-90 home win over the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Hes been the point guard of this team for 16 years. Its not something where he can take 10 days off and were not going to feel it.The Spurs next get to see how strong their road magic is over the next three weeks. San Antonio kicks off a stretch in which it will play nine of 12 games away from AT&T Center. Five of the next six are on the road.Its always tough to play on the road, Leonard told reporters. Weve just got to focus in, as always.The Heat werent good for the Spurs renewed health. Green took a knee in the groin and missed the second half. Center Dewayne Dedmon, averaging 4.9 rebounds in 13 minutes per game off the bench, sprained his left knee in the third quarter after coolliding with Justise Winslow.ddddddddddddGreen is questionable to play against the Kings, but Dedmon is out. Dedmon put up a season-best 12 points, seven rebounds and four blocks while helping defend Kings center DeMarcus Cousins in San Antonios earlier victory.Cousins and his teammates havent played since Saturday, and coach Dave Joerger used the four-day break to run through an offense that his players have been working to learn since camp. The break is their longest this season, not counting the All-Star break.Sacramento nearly climbed all the way out of a hole it created by losing five of its first seven, but the Kings blew a 19-point lead in a home loss to the Lakers, then fell in overtime at Portland the next night. Now, the Kings (4-7) will fall a season-worst four below .500 if they lose to the Spurs, a team that has beaten them seven consecutive times.Cousins is scoring 26.6 points per game, the ninth-best mark in the NBA, but the Kings have won only when theyve defended. Three of their four wins have come when theyve held an opponent under 100 points, and opponents were shooting 45 percent and turning over the ball an average of 11.3 times.But Sacramento turns over the ball a lot, too. The Kings committed 15 against Portland, leading to 25 points, and have averaged 13 turnovers in their seven losses.I think some of them are just careless, Joerger told the Sacramento Bee. The long passes, I love the fact that guys are out running, and were looking for our teammates. Those are good. But were not completing them. Nothing bad happens if you dont throw that pass. Something bad can happen if it doesnt get there. ' ' '
