THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- With a powerful defense leading an offense thats doing just enough to win, the Los Angeles Rams are off to a 3-1 start in their homecoming season.They arent blowing their own horns just yet, however.Coach Jeff Fisher mostly noticed the Rams problems Monday when he re-watched a gritty 17-13 victory in Arizona. Los Angeles is on just the third three-game winning streak in the past decade for a long-struggling franchise, but Fisher sees nobody getting happy on his unlikely first-place team.You have to take a hard look at it, and we did, Fisher said. We still have a lot of room for improvement offensively and defensively. Too many big plays (given up) defensively. Struggles versus the run. Lack of a run game offensively, and then an inability to go get points when we got around midfield. The players understand it. They were very receptive today about where we are.But the latest victory clearly was satisfying to Fisher because it came at the expense of the rival Cardinals, last seasons NFC West champions. The move from Missouri to California didnt make anyone forget that Arizona coach Bruce Arians has jabbed at the Rams in past seasons, calling them a team that is always 8-8 and that team we dont like.Fisher confirmed telling his players in the locker room that Sundays victory was an early Christmas present for the Cardinals (1-3), who will visit the Coliseum on New Years Day for a rematch in the regular season finale.I was complimenting the players. I wanted them to know what a big win it was, Fisher said dryly. Oftentimes, Coach Arians is complimenting his players from the same perspective, so we just wanted to let them know that this is a great win for us, so well see them after Christmas. Merry Christmas.And while praising the coaching staff of the Buffalo Bills, their next opponent, Fisher appeared to slip in a sly shot at the Cards.(Buffalo is) a well-coached team, Fisher said. They play good special teams. Theyre into special teams, unlike some of the other teams weve faced.Fisher didnt specify which teams, but the Cardinals have had a series of special-teams calamities this season. Los Angeles Tavon Austin returned an Arizona punt 47 yards and drew a facemask penalty with 5:09 to play Sunday, putting the Rams in position for Brian Quicks go-ahead touchdown reception.The Rams special teams have been practically flawless during their first 3-1 start since 2006, and they have finished all three games with big defensive plays, including Trumaine Johnsons game-ending interception in the end zone in Arizona.Fisher sees those narrow escapes as reasons for concern, but also signs of improvement.Its not easy, but around the league, there are some good teams that dont have the same record we do, Fisher said. Finding ways to win at the end is very important. It carries you a long way.Fisher also has no concerns about Todd Gurley, who has 216 yards rushing in the Rams first four games. He sees overall flaws in the Rams running game, not in the Rookie of the Years approach.The line of scrimmage was full of Cardinals yesterday, and we knew that, Fisher said. Thats why we made our plays down the field. But were close. Hes healthy. Hes going good. Were just going to put a good plan together this week.The Bills (2-2) visit Sunday for the second of the Rams two games at the Coliseum over the first eight weeks of the NFL season. Even with so few opportunities to make a good impression on their home fans, theyve still got the town talking.Were looking forward to being home, said Fisher, whose team still must travel to Detroit and London this month. Its been a while.Game notes The Rams had no major postgame injury concerns, Fisher said. Backup RB Benny Cunningham felt much better after injuring his hamstring Sunday. ... Fisher praised the special-teams play of rookies Marqui Christian and Temarrick Hemingway. Christian, a fifth-round draft pick by Arizona this year, was waived by the Cardinals last week. What an experience for him from that standpoint, to have been on the other sideline last week and come over and have a chance to have an impact on special teams, Fisher said.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Joe Cronin Jersey . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes.

"We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. Brian Johnson Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games.

Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Indias Aditi Ashok will tee off from the tenth tee in the first round of her LPGA qualifying tournament in Rancho Mirage, California on Thursday evening. Aditi, whose 41st-place finish at the Olympics has seen her world ranking improve to 422nd, will be teeing off alongside world number 668 Rachel Raastad of Norway, and amateur Ayaka Nakayama of Japan, at 8:25 pm IST.The field of 347 players for this, the first stage of qualifying, has Aditi as the lone Indian in the fray. The top 60 players (along with players tying for the 60th spot) from this week will then advance to the final stage of qualifying, slated to be hosted by Florida in October.Aditi, who led the Rio leaderboard at one stage in the second round of the first womens golf event at the Olympics in 116 years, has said that she wants to build on her performance in Rio, seeking inspiration from some of her golf heroes that she met during her stay in Rio.Playing in Rio was my goal since 2012, and I made it happen, so I was really excited, Aditi told the LPGA website about her Olympic experience. I had a great experience and I was top 10 after two days. I wish I carried on that form, but it was a great week and Im sure the experience will help me in future tournaments.At thee course, I got to spend time with Annika (Sorenstam) and Gary Player.dddddddddddd Being a part of the biggest sporting event in the world is just great. The format of the tournament is 72 holes of stroke play competition, with the cut to be decided after the third round concludes on Saturday.All players who will complete 54 holes will receive status to compete on the Symetra Tour -- the LPGAs official development tour -- for 2017. This will not apply, however, to any player who scores 88 or higher before the cut is made, in which case that player will automatically be withdrawn from the qualifying tournament.Aditi had to play her practice rounds with a rented set of clubs as her own equipment took some time to arrive from Rio de Janeiro, but this hasnt deterred the 18-year-old from aiming big in a tournament she failed to play one year back because she didnt meet the minimum age requirement.Ever since I started playing golf, I wanted to play on the LPGA, Aditi was quoted telling the LPGA website. Every step from now on will be one closer to my goal of playing on the LPGA against the best in the world. ' ' '
