Even folks with an appreciation for stingy defense had to be face-palming at the way that one ended.It all began about 15 hours earlier in London, where Case Keenum threw four interceptions -- including one on a ridiculously amateurish miscommunication to thwart what could have been a game-tying drive late -- in the Los Angeles Rams 17-10 loss to the New York Giants.In between, there were other duds that featured sloppy offense, tons of turnovers, plenty of punts and penalties, questionable coaching or various other instances of the sort of blah, take-it-or-leave-it, non-action that led Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden to refer to his teams 20-17 loss against the Detroit Lions (which was 3-all at halftime) this way: It was kind of a snoozer there, for a while.Tell us about it, Jay.Or as Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said of his previously unbeaten teams performance in a 21-10 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles, a game that included a combined half-dozen turnovers in the first half alone: `Embarrassing, really, is the word, in at least two of the phases.Could have been talking about much of the league, really.In case you missed it, here are the other top topics after the NFL seasons seventh Sunday:NO GOFF: Somehow, Rams coach Jeff Fisher sees fit to keep trotting Keenum out there and keep No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff on the bench. No matter how unprepared he might be, Goff couldnt possibly give the team less of a chance to win than Keenum did Sunday -- could he? Jared is going to play when we feel Jared is ready, Fisher said, adding: We didnt lose this game because of quarterback play. You sure about that, Coach? And even if its true, why not get Goff some experience?DOUBLE 200: Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi joined some exclusive company by running for 214 yards in a 28-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills, making him only the fourth player in NFL history to top 200 on the ground in consecutive games. The others? O.J. Simpson -- yes, THAT O.J. Simpson -- Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.LANDRYS HIT: Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry leveled Bills S Aaron Williams by launching into him and putting a shoulder into his helmet. The shot sent Williams to the hospital with head and neck injuries. Definitely a cheap hit, Bills CB Nickell Robey-Coleman said.GREENS CATCH: What a catch ! On an old-fashioned, close-your-eyes-and-chuck-it Hail Mary pass at the end of the first half, Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green -- surrounded by defenders -- juggled the ball before corralling it with one hand while landing on his back in the end zone for a 48-yard TD in a 31-17 victory over winless Cleveland.AT 43, VINATIERI GETS 43: Indys Adam Vinatieri, still kickin at age 43, made two field goals in a 34-26 victory at Tennessee, giving him 43 successful attempts in a row, breaking the record set by former Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt from 2002-04.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Its no surprise that one of the most coveted volleyball recruits out of high school is already an impact player in college.Wisconsins Molly Haggerty makes the game look easy, though credit for some of that goes to teammate Lauren Carlini and the Badgers coaching staff. The 6-foot-1 freshman outside hitter, the espnW player of the week, averaged 5.88 kills per set last weekend and packed 27 kills into three sets in the Badgers sweep at Texas A&M.Haggerty picked right back up at Texas on Sunday, with 20 more kills, 14 digs and five aces to propel No. 3 Wisconsin past the 2015 national runner-up, which was ranked second at the time. The Badgers (8-1) denied Texas three match points in a 20-18 final set.The gym was very loud, said Haggerty, who has three career double-doubles in her nine collegiate matches. But the whole match, the team was composed and calm. We never really panicked. Being new to this team, it was really cool to see how relaxed we were on the court. That kept us going in the right direction.Playing alongside Carlini, one of the best setters in the game, helps. The two Illinois natives are old friends from their club volleyball days at Sports Performance.Lauren definitely helped expedite Mollys learning curve, Badgers coach Kelly Sheffield said.Carlinis ability to be consistently precise with the ball, he said, allows Haggerty to shine.Theres no stop-and-go, he said. Molly can accelerate without hesitation.Haggerty does most things at full velocity. Winning the national championship is a goal of most elite players; Haggerty is determined to win four -- all part of 10 volleyball goals for her collegiate career that she has written down. The others include four Big Ten championships for Wisconsin and winning conference freshman of the year and national frreshman of the year for herself.ddddddddddddAs lofty as that might sound, consider her high school years. Haggerty led St. Francis High in Wheaton, Illinois, to four state titles, including one her senior year, when the school moved up in classification from 3A to 4A. Her club team won four AAU national championships. Twice in that span, she earned MVP honors, and twice she earned All-America honors.My freshman year of high school, the goals I set were winning four state championships, she said. Same thing for college. My goals wont change because I aim high -- not low.Competitiveness is in her nature, whether its her favorite card game, Trash, or enjoying HORSE in the driveway with sisters Meghan and Maddie. All the Haggerty children are Division I athletes. Meghan starred for Nebraska volleyball, and Maddie plays volleyball at Michigan State. Brother Ryan played basketball at Milwaukee.Molly gave a verbal commitment to Nebraska volleyball her sophomore year but decided it wasnt the best fit for her and switched to Wisconsin.Everybodys known who she was since she was very young, Sheffield said. A lot of top-level kids come into college as great athletes, really good at one or two skills. Shes just a really good all-around player, whether its attacking, blocking, passing, swinging, defense. The great thing is theres also so much room for her to grow. Im excited to have four years with her.Haggerty and her unbridled enthusiasm await conference play, which starts this weekend with home games against Ohio State and Maryland.The Big Ten is so strong, she said. Growing up, I always watched the Big Ten, so Im very excited to be playing in it.
