ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Lewis Hamilton warmed up for his bid to wrestle the Formula One title from Mercedes rival Nico Rosberg with the fastest time in the first two practice sessions Friday at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.The defending champion, who is seeking a third straight title and fourth overall, overcame a minor scare when he lost control of the rear of his car in the first session then dealt with some balance issues on his wheels in the second.He was .079 seconds quicker than Rosberg in the second practice after beating him by.374 seconds in the first.It will be a welcome boost for Hamilton, who trails Rosberg by 12 points heading into Sundays race.Were in a good position for tomorrow. Pole (position) is the goal for tomorrow, Hamilton said. I havent managed it at this track for a long time but I know Im quick here, the car feels great and theres still some time in it.But even if Hamilton wins the race, Rosberg needs only to finish third to be crowned champion for the first time.Both have won nice races in a topsy-turvy season that started with Rosberg taking complete control after winning the first four races while Hamilton struggled with engine troubles. The title race then went in Hamiltons favor only for Rosberg to seize the initiative back.We underestimate the pressure these guys are under, Mercedes head of motorsport Toto Wolff said. Sometimes you have to allow the drivers to express their feelings and emotions. You dont want to streamline them too much.Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel was third best in the evening session -- encouragingly only .269 behind Hamilton -- but he had to go back to the Ferrari garage, saying over race radio that he suspected gearbox failure.However, because the engine was being used for practice he will not incur a penalty for a gearbox change.Ferraris performance in the evening gave Vettel encouragement that the car can push Mercedes in Saturdays qualifying.Overall the car felt good and I think we should have good pace, Vettel said. Hopefully tomorrow well have a similar feeling in qualifying and put the car where it belongs.Dutch teenager Max Verstappen was third in the first practice and fourth in the second, where the Red Bull driver was troubled by some tire issues.We had a few issues with the car today which meant aborting the last run was the sensible thing to do, the 19-year-old Verstappen said. Nothing is broken and there is nothing to worry about, just safe to stop early. The grip is always a bit difficult here.The 2010 title, won dramatically by Vettel, and the 2014 title, won by Hamilton, also both went down to the wire in Abu Dhabi.Its down to the last race. Its all coming up: the frustrations and the happy moments, said Wolff, praising the mental strength of his drivers. I find it very remarkable how theyve managed their relationship for the benefit of the team.The race begins at 5 p.m. local time and ends with night falling on the desert track and temperatures still warm, but dropping with a late breeze.Adapting to that and knowing what to expect can be a challenge, Rosberg said. But our car was working well in both conditions. Joe Cardona Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Jay Ajayi got a second chance, and so did the Miami Dolphins.They made the most of both.Ajayi scored on an 11-yard run with 8:26 left in overtime, and the Dolphins escaped with a 30-24 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday -- the first victory for first-year head coach Adam Gase.We come out here in our first game and showcase to our home fans what were about, and offensively were out there flopping it around, said Gase, who was in no celebratory mood afterward. It irritated me a little bit.Ajayis game-winner came one play after Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill found a wide-open Jarvis Landry for a 32-yard gain, as the Dolphins (1-2) avoided what would be their first 0-3 start since 2011.Tannehill threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns for Miami, and Landry caught seven of those passes for 120 yards.Cody Parkey, who was signed Saturday after Patrick Murray was hurt the day before in practice, missed three field goals for Cleveland, including a 46-yarder as time expired in regulation. The Browns had a golden chance to win after Corey Lemonier stripped the ball from Tannehill and recovered the fumble himself with 20 seconds left.Parkey went wide left, some Dolphins fans who were leaving turned around in the stairwells, and to overtime they went.I know everybody will say it came down to the field goals, but Im not going to put that kind of pressure on Cody, Browns coach Hue Jackson said. Cody just got off a plane with us and I dont know him as well as I know this chair right now.Cleveland started Cody Kessler at quarterback, making him the third player in as many weeks to hold that job for the Browns. The Browns lost Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown in the seasons first two weeks, and ultimately got a spark from quarterback-turned-wide-receiver.Terrelle Pryor became the first Browns player since 1977 to have multiple receptions, rushes and passes in the same game. The former Ohio State quarterback, now primarily a receiver, started taking some snaps in the games second series and finished with eight catches for 144 yards -- along with 35 passing yards and 25 rushing yards. Pryor even played safety on the last play of the first half.ddddddddddddDynamic athlete, Miami defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said. Whether hes playing quarterback or wide receiver hes obviously effective.Miami trailed 13-10 at the half. Landry caught a 42-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to put the Dolphins on top, and the lead got stretched to 24-13 when Tannehill hit Damien Williams with what became a 10-yard scoring throw early in the fourth.Clevelands first offensive touchdown in its last 16 series came with 10:12 left, when Pryor scored on a 3-yard run. The two-point conversion got the Browns within 24-21, and Parkeys 38-yard field goal later in the fourth pulled Cleveland into a tie.And in OT, Ajayi -- who didnt even fly with the team to Seattle for its season opener -- capped it with a run around the left side.Im always happy to get a win. It was ugly, we didnt play well at times today, but we stuck together and found a way, Tannehill said.WELCOME, ROOKBriean Boddy-Calhoun was inactive in Week 1 and Week 2 for Cleveland. He made his debut one to remember, becoming the first player in franchise history to run back an interception for a score in his first NFL game.GOOD CALLCleveland won the coin toss prior to overtime and let Miami have the ball, even though a Dolphin touchdown on that possession would have ended the game. Miami wound up punting. The way we were playing offensively, it was probably a good idea, Gase said.QUOTABLEPatriots coach Bill Belichick offered a memorable Were on to Cincinnati series of quotes in October 2014, not wanting to answer questions about Tom Brady after a bad loss to Kansas City. Gase, whose club goes to Cincinnati on Thursday, channeled some Belichick on Sunday. Were moving on to Cincinnati, Gase said.INJURIESDolphins C Mike Pouncey (hip) missed a third straight game, and his replacement -- Anthony Steen -- left with an ankle injury 15 seconds into the fourth quarter, so Miami turned to third-stringer Kraig Urbik. The Dolphins also lost LB Jelani Jenkins (quad), LB Koa Misi (neck) and TE Jordan Cameron (assessment for concussion). ' ' '
