TAMPA, Fla. -- The Oakland Raiders have unwavering faith in Derek Carr.Its always great when you trust, and that trust is rewarded, coach Jack Del Rio said after Seth Roberts turned Carrs fourth-down pass into a 41-yard touchdown in overtime, giving the AFC West co-leaders a 30-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.That builds confidence, Del Rio added of Carr, who finished with a franchise-record 513 yards passing and four touchdowns, and well continue to grow as a football team.The Raiders (6-2) improved to 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1977. But whats more surprising is they did it by overcoming a NFL-record 23 penalties for 200 yards.Sebastian Janikowski missed a 50-yard field goal that would have won it on the final play of regulation, then misfired from 52 yards for the potential lead in OT.They tried to give us the game -- two missed field goals and all those penalties, Tampa Bay tackle Demar Dotson said. We didnt take it.Carr broke the Raiders 52-year-old record for yards passing in a game, joining Y.A. Tittle and Ben Roethlisberger as the only players in league history to throw for 500-plus yards, four or more touchdowns and no interceptions.The third-year pro said he got so emotional that he nearly broke into tears when he learned he replaced Cotton Davidson (427 yards, 1964) in the record book.Not in a weird way, just like thats stuff you dream of as a kid, Carr said. Im just blessed.Roberts was trying to pick up a first down on fourth-and-3, but got much more when defenders Jude Adjei-Barimah and Bradley McDougald lunged and missed the tackle around the Tampa Bay 30.Amari Cooper had 12 receptions for 173 yards and one TD . Carr also threw scoring passes to offensive tackle and ex-Buc Donald Penn and Mychal Rivera, while Michael Crabtree had eight catches for 108 yards.The Raiders amassed 626 yards total offense, dominating time of possession for more than 15 minutes, running 85 plays to Tampa Bays 61.Carr was 40 of 59 passing and was sacked twice, with one of them resulting in a fumble that led to a first-quarter touchdown that put Tampa Bay up 10-0.It was an awesome performance, Del Rio said. Ive seen some good ones. I think well continue to see good ones from him. Hes very confident. Hes got some weapons that hes utilizing.Some things to know about the Raiders and Bucs:JAMEIS SPUTTERS: Jameis Winston led an early field goal drive and threw a 19-yard TD pass to Russell Shepherd for a 10-0 lead, but struggled over most of the final three quarters. He finished 16 of 32 for 180 yards and received plenty of help from the Raiders (penalties) in getting the Bucs in the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay had the ball twice in overtime, both 3-and-outs. Thats a good defense. They lead the NFL in road wins. They squeezed one out, Winston said. I felt our team fought hard. If youre going to lose, lose like that.FLAGS, FLAGS AND MORE FLAGS: The Raiders hurt themselves repeatedly with penalties, including a delay of game on first-and-goal from the Tampa Bay 3 and an offensive pass interference call against WR Michael Crabtree that nullified a touchdown. They wound up settling for Sebastian Janikowskis 31-yard field goal that trimmed a second-quarter deficit to 10-3. Oakland was penalized four times, twice on third-and-1 for lining up with 12 men on defense, during the fourth-quarter drive Winston used to put Tampa Bay up 24-17. I cant believe it, but it just shows the resilience of this team. We just have to work to clean that up, Cooper said. We cant be a championship team like that, so we have to clean that up. Definitely.DID YA SEE THAT?: Raiders OL Donald Penn was with the Bucs for eight years before being released after the 2013 season. His 1-yard TD made it 10-10 early in the third quarter. The 315-pound tackle crossed his arms and struck a pose for the announced crowd of 61,058. I had to let them know they made a big mistake in cutting me, Penn said. I had to let them know Im back.HOME WOES: While the Raiders are 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1977, the Bucs continue to struggle at home, where they are 0-3 this year, 3-16 since the start of the 2014 season.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Air Max 95 Womens . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

NEW YORK -- When Steve Johnson walked into the US Open locker room Wednesday morning following his emotional comeback win over Evgeny Donskoy, Ryan Harrison was waiting to congratulate him, a great big grin plastered on his face.Much later that same day, Harrison, a qualifier at this tournament, completed a stunning upset of No. 5 seed Milos Raonic. The first person Harrison saw when he ambled into the locker room and dropped his bags was fellow countryman John Isner.Hes excited for me, Harrison later said of his ensuing conversation with Isner. Thats the good thing about all of us guys that are playing for America. We have pretty good relationships. I think the winning does become contagious.This particular influenza has been easily spread in the early days of the US Open. The lockers of Isner, Johnson, Harrison Jared Donaldson and Jack Sock are clustered so close that one can hardly open his door without whacking his buddy. All those players won their first-round matches, as did Donald Young. The sound of locker doors slamming was accompanied by high-fives all around. In all, seven men from the US survived opening matches.Former generations of US players couldnt afford or didnt indulge in a comparable degree of camaraderie. Instead of sitting down to share a meal, they would take the knife off the table and stick it in the other guys back. The stakes certainly were higher for rivals and perpetual Grand Slam winners such as Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi, or John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors. When their egos werent exploding, they might even have wished to experience the kind of bonhomie todays crop of mid-level pros share.Connors, for one, might denigrate the cozy relationships the present stable of US players enjoy. He habitually extolled the value of keeping his distance from all but the most obsequious of peers. But Connors was a sensation from the earliest days of his career.The U.S. players striving at this event have always relied on a little help from their friends. These players are not lone wolves, theyre a pack of coyotes working hard to survive in a harsh environment. Forget clichés about individual exceptionalism; the theme for the ruling generation of U.S. pros is the homily about a rising tide lifting all boats. In fact, these boats are banging into each other.Over the past few weeks, Isner and Johnson have been engaged in a spirited competition to hold the top ranking among Americans. At the moment, Isner is NNo.dddddddddddd21, Johnson No. 22 and Olympic gold medalist Sock is closing fast at No. 27. Twenty-eight-year-old Sam Querrey is in the mix as well.Harrison was ranked as high as No. 43 at the age of 20 in 2012, but he was down to No. 120 before this summers resurgence. He has been around for a while, but hes still very young, Isner said the other day, reminding us that Harrison was a legitimate prodigy who turned pro at 16. Hes figuring it out again.At 31, Isner is the elder statesman for a generation. But Johnson, 26, is a slow and steady learner while 23-year-old Sock has the most explosive game and perhaps the most long-term upside. Sock is already in the third round; his appetite is whetted by the pair of medals he brought home from the Rio Olympics. He took the gold with Bethanie Mattek-Sands in mixed doubles and partnered with Johnson to take the bronze medal in mens doubles.I feel like my tennis is right there to be playing in the second week, Sock said following his second-round win at Flushing Meadows. There was something about the Olympics. I feel like my attitude and mentality since [then] actually changed fairly drastically. Ive enjoyed being out there more. Not necessarily less pressure, but Im just having more fun out there.Sock and company had better enjoy these times while they can, because theres another, younger generation of talented American ready to sue for inclusion. That group is led by 18-year-old Taylor Fritz, whos already up to No. 53. Ironically, he drew Sock as his first-round opponent. It took Sock five sets and every tool in his kit to spritz Fritz.Also among the upstarts are 18-year-olds Francis Tiafoe and Jared Donaldson. Tiafoe had Isner on the ropes in the first round but let him slip away and win. Donaldson played a very smart match to eliminate No. 12 seed David Goffin. Also in that group, junior Grand Slam champions Reilly Opelka and Tommy Paul.The younger Americans are making a splash, making names for themselves early, Sock said after beating Fritz. These guys are playing great tennis.No male American player has won the singles title here since 2003. But the emerging generation is jump-starting an abandoned conversation about when such a thing might happen again. That sound you hear in the background is the rocking of boats as the water continues to rise. ' ' '
