In a story Oct. 7 about Louisvilles bye week, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 306 yards and a career-high three interceptions with a fumble in a loss at Clemson. Jackson threw for 295 yards with one interception.A corrected version of the story is below:No. 7 Louisville welcomes bye after loss to No. 3 ClemsonSeventh-ranked Louisville welcomes some down time after briefly being part of the national title discussionBy GARY B. GRAVESAP Sports WriterSeventh-ranked Louisville welcomes some down time after slipping out of the national title discussion.Plenty of time remains for the Cardinals to be reconsidered, though, and much now depends on how they and Heisman Trophy front-runner Lamar Jackson rebound from last Saturdays loss to No. 3 Clemson.Coach Bobby Petrino said this weeks bye comes at a good time for Louisville (4-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). Besides allowing players to heal from a grueling opening stretch that included complete domination of then-No. 2 Florida State and a tough 42-36 loss at Clemson, the Cardinals get to regroup and figure out how to run the table.Even with the loss, theyre obviously in a better place one year after entering the break 2/3 and trying to salvage a season.Weve had a very grueling schedule and a lot of intensity, a couple of huge, huge games, Petrino said this week. So I think its a good opportunity for us to settle in and get our schoolwork done and everything we need to do with class work, get back to technique and fundamentals, kind of go back to half of the practice being camp practice where you go ones-on-ones and work hard on it.Then, some of your guys are able to heal up, he said. So, for us its a great time for our bye.Especially since it allows Jackson to recharge and follow up his dynamic start.Any discussion of the Heisman has begun with the 6-3, 204-pound sophomore, who has passed and rushed for 14 touchdowns each and combined for 2,313 yards. The national leader in several offensive categories has room for improvement after throwing an interception at Clemson, but his leadership showed as he finished with 295 yards passing and positioned Louisville to have one final chance that fell a yard short on fourth down.The frustrated look on Jacksons face after his mistakes spoke volumes about his desire to get it right, an attitude he has shown in workouts this week.Well mess up a play and Lamar will immediately come back with, `Lets do it again, Louisville wide receiver Jaylen Smith said on Petrinos weekly radio show. You have to want to be perfect.The Cardinals task now is a perfect finish they hope will keep them on the radar for the four-team playoff. Their remaining schedule seems favorable toward regaining that dominance.Louisville hosts Duke on Oct. 14 in the first of five straight ACC games before the Cardinals visit No. 6 Houston in a non-conference showdown on Nov. 17 that could shape their playoff prospects. That conference docket certainly isnt easy, with North Carolina State, Boston College and Wake Forest all boasting winning records.Overtaking Clemson to win the Atlantic Division would require two losses by the Tigers, an unlikely scenario considering they seem energized by clearing their toughest challenge to date. Louisville remains unfazed and challenged to improve on offense, defense and special teams and play its best football from here on.Weve got a lot of pride on our team, Petrino said, and guys were able to watch the (Clemson) video and know that we competed extremely hard. (We) just had 15 or 20 plays in there, where if we make one of them, the outcomes different.Were going to stick together as a team, have a great attitude and continue to work hard and try to improve, the coach added.---AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Gary B.

Important games on Thanksgiving are not. Thanksgiving football has seen a lot of one-sided contests over the past few years. It doesnt help that the Detroit Lions are usually out of contention by this point. Years of 8-8 Dallas teams gave us some Turkey Day turkeys as well.Well, not this year. Just in time to help you avoid talking politics with the family members you disagree with, the NFL has delivered a trio of games with major playoff ramifications. Grab that second helping of pumpkin pie and get back on the couch as soon as possible.The opener, Minnesota at Detroit, is the most important game of the week for determining which 12 teams make the NFL playoff field. In fact, its the most important game of the year so far. If the Lions win, they become the NFC North favorites, making the playoffs 62.4 percent of the time, while the Vikings make it only 43.4 percent of the time. But if the Vikings get a win on the road, their playoff odds climb to 86.1 percent while Detroits odds fall to 18.9 percent.The next game, Washington at Dallas, is less important for making the playoffs since Dallas has almost clinched a spot. But its hugely important to determining seeding, which gives it major impacct on which NFC team makes the Super Bowl.dddddddddddd The Cowboys are 33 percent more likely to make Super Bowl LI if they win this game; the Redskins are more than twice as likely to make it with a win.The nightcap brings us the No. 1 team in the AFC North race (Pittsburgh) against the No. 2 team in the AFC South race (Indianapolis).

New England Patriots (8-2)Odds of making playoffs: 98.4 percentThe Raiders are currently the AFCs No. 1 seed based on the strength of victory tiebreaker. Thats not a very good one for the Patriots, since they had both Cleveland and San Francisco on the schedule. But its unlikely to come down to that by the end of the season. New England has been the better team on a play-by-play basis and has the easier schedule down the stretch (with two games against the Jets and a home game against the Rams). ' ' '
