LONDON -- The Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals played to a 27-27 draw Sunday in London as the NFL got its second tied game in a season for the first time since 1997.The sold-out crowd of 84,488 at Wembley Stadium left deflated and even puzzled as the regulation-time shootout between Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton turned into an overtime comedy of errors.It definitely feels more like a loss than a win, because we moved the ball so well and had so many opportunities to win, Cousins said.Washington (4-3-1) appeared to have the game won with 2:13 left in overtime, but Dustin Hopkins hooked his 34-yard field goal attempt wide left.Hopkins, whose first overtime attempt sailed smoothly through the uprights but was negated by a last-second Bengals timeout, appeared calm and unruffled in the locker room.It was slick out there, but that didnt have an effect on any of my kicks, said Hopkins, who also was badly short on a 55-yard attempt at the end of the first half.The Redskins got the ball back with 1:11 remaining when Dalton fumbled at the Bengals 47 on a quarterback sneak. Cousins couldnt connect downfield and tossed his final desperate pass tamely into the sideline to preserve the draw. Cincinnati is 3-4-1.The unlikely result came one week after the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals tied 6-6 .Obviously not winning the game is disappointing, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. We had opportunities on both sides of the ball to win it.Cousins finished with 38 completions for a season-high 458 yards on a team-record 56 attempts, with touchdowns to Jordan Reed and Jamison Crowder. He also threw an inconsequential interception on a deep ball.Dalton completed 27 of 42 for 284 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Eifert, who saw his first significant game action following offseason back surgery. Eifert made nine catches for 102 yards, while A.J. Green generated 121 yards on nine catches. Dalton also tossed a costly interception early in the fourth quarter with the Bengals driving deep into Washington territory.THE 1997 TIES: Oddly, the last time the NFL had two ties in a season also happened in back-to-back weeks. In Weeks 12 and 13 of the 1997 season, Baltimore and Philadelphia tied 10-10, followed seven days later by Washington and the New York Giants 7-7 draw.QUICK START: At first, it looked as if both teams might have forgotten to pack their defenses.Washington took its opening possession 80 yards on a 15-play drive capped by Robert Kelleys juking 4-yard run. It was the first NFL rushing touchdown for Kelley, an undrafted rookie from Tulane starting in place of an injured Matt Jones.Cincinnati immediately responded with a 66-yard kickoff return by Alex Erickson up the right sideline. Giovani Bernard took a draw 8 yards to the end zone to tie the score 7-7 with about four minutes still left in the opening quarter.KICKING WOES: It wasnt only Hopkins ruing his errors. The Bengals Mike Nugent had a chance to tie at 10, but his low-trajectory 51-yarder spun wide left. Nugent has often struggled from long range throughout his 12-year career. He has yet to convert a field goal beyond 47 yards this year, and fell to 0-for-3 from 50 yards or more.Nugent then missed his first extra point of the season, wide left following the Bengals go-ahead drive of the second half.We missed a PAT, we missed a field goal, and those things eventually came back to hurt us, Lewis said.WATCH THOSE HANDS: Redskins star cornerback Josh Norman was called four times for illegal use of hands. Its a shame for Washington that those hands werent as sticky to the ball.Gordon dropped two great interception opportunities while jumping routes on short sideline throws to A.J. Green. The first hit him squarely in both hands on the Bengals 39 near the end of the first half, the second was in Redskins territory during the Bengals opening drive of the second half. A pick then would have stopped the Bengals from seizing the lead barely a minute later.SEEING YELLOW: The game was marred by penalties, particularly by the Redskins. Washington was flagged 15 times for 106 yards, leading to eight Bengals first downs and damaging Washingtons overtime drives into Bengals turf. Cincinnati had seven penalties for 85 yards.UP NEXT: Both teams have byes.---Associated Press reporter Zac Boyer contributed to this story.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Ombre Hydro Flask 32 Oz Sale .

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans wont dwell on their 27-0 loss to the New England Patriots.Sure, it was embarrassing and unexpected to get dominated like they were. But they know theyll have to get over it quickly to avoid it carrying over into their next game .Weve got Tennessee, a division game, coming up, so weve got to get our head screwed on right, said Houston nose tackle and former Patriot Vince Wilfork. We want to win every game. Unfortunately that doesnt happen a lot, so you move forward. That is what we have to do now.Coach Bill OBrien isnt worried about his team bouncing back from the shutout .We have a resilient bunch of guys, he said. They know that its only the third game of the season and theyre going to work very, very hard to correct the mistakes, and theyre going to work very hard on Tennessee.Although he doesnt want his team to wallow in what happened against the Patriots, OBrien and his coaching staff will study film to try and figure out how things went so wrong.You have to think about how youre going to correct your mistakes, the players mistakes, and learn from it and then move on, he said. You cant just bury the tape and then move on to Tennessee.The Texans (2-1) were done in by a number of things Thursday night, none more glaring than turnovers on special teams. Houston lost two fumbles on kickoffs, which led to 14 points by the Patriots. One of the fumbles was by Charles James and the other came from primary kick returner rookie Tyler Ervin. OBrien said Ervin will continue to get the bulk of the returns despite his miscue.Hes a rookie and hes had some decent returns for us, OBrien said. Hell learn from it. Hell get better from it and well reaally work with him to improve on it.ddddddddddddOf course he and James were far from the only players who made mistakes against the Patriots. Brock Osweiler threw an interception and failed to get Houstons offense on New Englands side of the field until late in the third quarter after looking solid in the first two games. OBrien was quick to point out that the struggles of the offense werent all on Osweiler.I do not think he took a step back, OBrien said. I think he obviously has to limit the turnovers, but I think overall, I thought that he hung in there pretty well. I think its the rhythm of the offense, everybody doing their job, the protection, the running game, the route running, catching the football.OBrien is looking for improvements in his running game after Houston was outgained 185-109 on Thursday night. New running back Lamar Miller had 80 yards rushing behind a line still without veteran left tackle Duane Brown. OBrien saw some progress by the group through the first two games, but that didnt carry over into Thursday nights game.It has to be more consistent, he said. I thought it was more consistent against Kansas City than it was against New England and ... with an extra day of preparation, well work very hard to improve that.The unit could get a boost soon with Brown, who has been out since quadriceps surgery in January, inching closer to a return.I dont think he will play against Tennessee, but I know that theres a shot for the next game, OBrien said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
