NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The offseason addition of wide receiver Rishard Matthews has paid big dividends for the Tennessee Titans.Matthews already has set a career high with six touchdown catches -- all within the past six weeks.Only Tampa Bays Mike Evans and Jordy Nelson of Green Bay (eight) and Pittsburghs Antonio Brown (seven) have more touchdown catches in the NFL than Matthews, who is tied with four others.And the receiver easily is poised to turn in the most receptions and yards receiving in just his first year working with quarterback Marcus Mariota.Im glad it happened the way it did, Matthews said.A seventh-round draft pick out of Nevada, the 6-foot, 217-pound Matthews spent his first four seasons with the Miami Dolphins where he started only 17 of his 49 games.When he hit free agency, Matthews went looking for the chance to do more coming off the best season of his career with 43 catches in 11 starts for 662 yards and four touchdown receptions.Matthews had a couple of teams calling, but he and his agent saw the Titans and Mariota as the right match with a three-year contract .It took a little bit of time to start building timing and chemistry, but offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie thinks returning to Miami to play the Dolphins jump-started Matthews season.From there, I think those two theyve kind of bonded a little bit, Robiskie said Thursday of Matthews and Mariota.Matthews caught his first touchdown pass from Mariota in Miami on Oct. 9, and hes added five TD catches since then helping Tennessee (5-5) win four of its past six. He caught two in the second quarter at San Diego on Nov. 6 and added another last week. The Titans visit Indianapolis (4-5) on Sunday.Matthews has made a handful of long catches too and believes Mariotas trust in him just keeps climbing.Hes been coming to me in key situations, Matthews said. That just means a lot to myself, and Im just glad I could go out there and make plays for him.The Titans needed help at wide receiver after investing second-round draft picks in Justin Hunter and Dorial Green-Beckham. They released Hunter in the final cuts, while they traded Green-Beckham during training camp for a backup offensive lineman.Coach Mike Mularkey said how Matthews has played is what caught the Titans attention.Obviously, big, thick receiver, really strong to the ball, strong hands, makes plays and contested catches, playmaker, which hes been doing here for the last six weeks, Mularkey said.Hes been making plays. Obviously, the touchdowns have been big plays, but a lot of what youre seeing was on tape. You know, he was hurt last year and only got so many games to show what he had. Its showing up again.Matthews is part of a receiving group that ranks third in the NFL for fewest drops, having dropped five of the 210 passes deemed catchable by STATS LLC.That ranks Tennessee third in the NFL with a drop rate of 2.4 percent per catch behind only Washington (1.2 percent) and Dallas (2.1).Mularkey said the receivers have been dependable after he was probably harder on them than any other group on the team.Weve got a mix of guys, a rookie thats playing in his 11th game, Rishard has come about, Mularkey said. I give them credit. They have rebounded and helped us with our offense.Game notesRB DeMarco Murray (toe) practiced fully Thursday after being given a day of rest Wednesday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

Even sweeter was standing next to Woods in his Sunday red shirt to receive yet another trophy.Right now, the Japanese star cant seem to lose.The return of Tiger Woods ended with Matsuyama winning his third straight tournament, and fourth out of his last five, in the Hero World Challenge.I cant say that I played well today, but I did win Tigers tournament, Matsuyama said. And what a great honor that is.Matsuyama had a few nervous moments on the back nine at Albany when his seven-shot lead at the start of the final round was reduced to two shots over British Open champion Henrik Stenson with two to play.Matsuyama closed with two pars for a 1-over 73 and a two-shot victory.Woods found plenty of positives from his first tournament in more than 15 months, though the final round featured three double bogeys and a 76 -- the highest score of the tournament -- that dropped him to 15th place out of 17 players.It feels good to be back out here playing again, competing and trying to beat the best players in the world, Woods said. I missed it. I love it.Matsuyama is moving up in class quickly.His big run started with a three-shot victory in the Japan Open. He was runner-up in Malaysia, then became the first Asian to win a World Golf Championships title with a seven-shot victory over Stenson and Daniel Berger in the HSBC Champions. Two weeks later, he won the Taiheiyo Masters on the Japan Golf Tour by seven. And except for a few mistakes on the back nine at Albany, this was another runaway.Its going to give him a boat load of confidence going into next year, and hes going to be one of the top guys to beat for a very long time, Woods said.Matsuyama, who finished at 18-under 270, won $1 million and remained at No. 6 in the world. He ended his streak of 17 consecutive founds in the 60s, though all that mattered was the trophy presentation with Woods.Its tough with a seven-stroke lead, he said. But somehow I was able to pull it off. Hopefully, this experience will help me in the future.Stenson, playing with him in tthe final group, closed with a 68 and made Matsuyama work hard for this title.ddddddddddddMatsuyama still had a six-shot lead going into the back nine when he went bunker-to-bunker around the 10th green and made double bogey. Then, he three-putted from about 18 feet on the 14th hole, where Stenson made birdie for a two-shot swing.Just like that, the lead was down to three with four holes remaining. And it looked like it would get even closer on the par-5 15th. Matsuyama was in a greenside bunker in two and didnt quite reach the green. Stenson had a 45-foot eagle putt. But the Swede left it about 10 feet short and three-putted for par, and Matsuyama matched him.Stenson also three-putted the 10th, costing him another chance to get closer.Whatever he gave me on 14, I gave it straight back to him on 15, Stenson said.Stenson drilled a 4-iron into 4 feet on the 16th for another birdie, and Matsuyamas approach barely cleared the bunker, leading to par to stay two ahead.The tournament was still in doubt on the 18th hole. Matsuyamas shot from the rough bounded over the green, while Stenson had 12-feet for birdie. If the Swede made and Matsuyama failed to get up-and-down, it was headed for a playoff. The Japanese star steadied himself with a good pitch to tap-in range, and that wrapped it up.He hit a very classy chip there, Stenson said.Matsuyama now heads home to Japan for a break, though he wont put the clubs away for long. He starts back in Hawaii the first week of the new year, and already he is thinking ahead to April and Augusta National.Starting next week all my focus and preparation will be for the Masters, he said. Hopefully, along the way I can play well on the PGA Tour. But the Masters is my next goal.DIVOTS: Matsuyama borrowed the caddie of good friend Hiroshi Iwata this week, Mei Inui. He said she helped keep him positive when his lead was shrinking. His regular caddie, known as Dice-K, returns to work in Hawaii. ...
