LOS ANGELES -- Dallas Dez Bryant caught a 10-yard touchdown pass, but the Los Angeles Rams earned a win in their homecoming when Sean Mannion threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Green with 1:54 remaining for a 28-24 comeback over the Cowboys at the Coliseum on Saturday.Bryant had two receptions for 28 yards, including a leaping catch on the sideline against cornerback Coty Sensabaugh for 18 yards. He played one series before leaving the game.Quarterback Tony Romo, rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, tight end Jason Witten and left tackle Tyron Smith were held out of the game for Dallas.Rams running back Todd Gurley and defensive end Robert Quinn also did not play, as a crowd of 89,140 saw Cowboys wide receiver Lucky Whitehead score on a 101-yard kick return to welcome the NFL back to Southern California after a 22-year absence.No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff had an up-and-down debut after replacing Case Keenum early in the second quarter, completing 4 of 9 passes for 38 yards and an interception.After being hit by Cowboys linebacker Derek Akunne, Goffs second pass was a wobbly throw that was easily picked off by Mark Nzeocha.On his next possession, Goff nearly put the Rams in position to pick up points before halftime but rookie Pharoh Cooper dropped a pass in the red zone. Goff was sacked on the next play to end the second quarter.Goff didnt return in the second half after his non-throwing shoulder became stiff. Coach Jeff Fisher planned to give Goff two or three more series. Neither Goff nor Fisher believed the injury was serious.Keenum started and played three series, going 6 of 7 for 58 yards. Benny Cunningham scored on a 14-yard run with 1:33 left in the first quarter for the Rams first points in the stadium where they first played after arriving from Cleveland in 1946 until moving to Anaheim at the end of the 1979 season.Mannion threw three touchdown passes in the second half to rally the Rams.Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott started in place of Romo and made a strong case to back him up after Kellen Moore broke his ankle in practice last week. Prescott was 10 of 12 for 139 yards and two touchdowns, with both incompletions coming on drops by Geoff Swain.The fourth-round pick out of Mississippi State looked poised behind the strong Cowboys offensive line, finding Terrance Williams for a 32-yard touchdown with a perfectly placed throw over Lamarcus Joyner.ROOKIE WATCHCowboys: Running back Darius Jackson showed some nice burst, rushing for 47 yards on 13 carries. But most of the Cowboys draft class was unavailable. Second-round pick Jaylon Smith is recovering from a serious knee injury the linebacker suffered in the Fiesta Bowl. Defensive tackle Maliek Collins (foot) and end Charles Tapper (back) are also dealing with injuries, but should be available later in the preseason.Rams: Fourth-round pick Tyler Higbee has been the star of training camp and kept it up with five catches for 49 yards. The tight end from Western Michigan was equally effective whether working split out wide, where he broke a tackle on a 14-yard reception from Goff, or on the line of scrimmage. Higbee didnt get to show off his aptitude in the red zone, but looks like a valuable addition to an offense that lacks reliable options.POSITION BATTLESCowboys: Jamiel Showers had his moments in the second half, including a 47-yard completion to Vince Mayle after narrowly escaping a sack, but Prescotts performance looks to have justified the decision by owner Jerry Jones not to add a veteran quarterback after Moore got hurt.Rams: The rebuilt secondary struggled in its first outing after losing free agent cornerback Janoris Jenkins to the New York Giants. Seeing Sensabaugh struggle to contain Bryant wasnt a surprise, but seeing Williams and Cole Beasley running free was troubling. Joyner seems to be a better fit at nickel back, while Sensabaughs issues mean a starting cornerback job is almost certainly E.J. Gaines to lose.QUOTABLECowboys: I think the best thing about Dak is that he is extremely calm, Bryant said of Prescott. Its like hes been here before. Hes not playing like a rookie. He is going to be very good; hes special.Rams: I had to remind them it was a preseason game, Fisher said. It was as if we had just clinched the playoff as far as they were concerned.PRICEY PREMIEREFans attending the game could buy premium beer for $16 or a $29.99 commemorative shirt, but the biggest sticker shock likely came when trying to park. Only season-ticket holders can use the lots at the Coliseum or on the Southern California campus next door, allowing enterprising locals to seek up to $100 for a parking spot.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Blue Jays Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

The reveal season for Mean Streets of Gadgetzan is in full swing, with 132 cards set to be revealed in Hearthstones next expansion. With 132 cards to review -- 131 after our Grimestreet Pawnbroker card reveal -- we better skip the exposition and get moving with the second big chunk.Dont laugh about the Counterfeit Coin, its a legit option even without an effect. Not as good as Druids Innervate, it does fit well into Rogue decks. Rogue has a number of Combo cards, all which this activates and in Miracle builds, helps cycle your deck with an extra mana, that one extra mana sometimes being crucial in a big Gadgetzan Auctioneer turn.Lotus Assassin is fine as a five-mana 5/5 in that it starts with Stealth and any things it kills that it survives gives it another Stealth, meaning that either the enemy uses some kind of area-of-effect spell to get rid of it or you get to determine the trades. Theres no place for this card in Miracle, but it could see a niche role in a Burglary-type deck that uses more minions. Probably the best place for this card will be in Arena, where Stranglethorn Tiger, a 5/5 with Stealth that doesnt have a chance to get its Stealth back, sees play.Shaku, the Collector, if played at all, will see play if the card-stealing versions of Rogue are strong enough to see competitive play. The Stealth effect is key here because a 2/3 for three mana can be easily removed, which Hobgoblin decks never became a competitive thing (a three mana 2/3 that did not have Stealth).Priest isnt the only lower-tier class to get some help in Gadgetzan, Paladins suffered as well, with the NZoth Paladins getting pushed out the tournament meta, which only the occasional Anyfin Paladin keeping Uther in tournament play.We start off with a reasonable secret in Getaway Kodo. Unlike some of the weaker Paladin cards, this one can see significant play outside of a Secret Paladin build. Mages Duplicate essentially did the same thing for three mana (but two minions) and Getaway Kodo can be used similarly here. In fact, its probably better outside of the Secrets builds since playing it is better with one huge minion while the more Secret-heavy build relies on having a large board that makes trades awkward. And you want to be sending something like Sylvanas Windrunner or Ragnaros back to your hand, not the 2/1 Defender you get from Noble Sacrifice.Meanstreet Marshal, Grimestreet Outfitter, and Grimestreet Enforcer all enable minion-heavy builds in which Paladin rapidly draws low-mana cards, buffs them, and floods the board. Meanstreet Marshal is a Loot Hoarder with a condition but a discount and if youre playing the other two cards, youll likely have buffed this card by at least one attack. In Arena, dont expect to see the Marshal.The Grimestreet Outfitter is a bit like a bargain basement version of The Mistcaller in Shaman decks. It empowers your hand early for a tempo loss, but at least it does it early enough in the game that the bonus and hand size may be worth it. The Enforcer might as well be a 4/4 with Taunt, simply because removing it will be priority if the player dropping this has a hand - think of it as an Emperor Thaurissan for aggressive decks.Small-Time Recruits is a straightforward card to go along with this Aggro Paladin theme. Paladin doesnt have a ton of natural card draw without conditions, theres no Warlock hero power or two-mana Wrath. If youre playing this kind of deck, this card helps refill your hand. If you dont, the card really doesnt do anything.Wickerflame Burnbristle is my favorite of the Paladin cards released and may see play in different deck archetypes. Shielded Minibot was a terrific Paladin card, a two mana 2/2 with Divinne Shield.dddddddddddd For one mana more, you get a Taunt and the ability to restore health as well, probably four points unless your opponent burns removal. Aggro decks could ignore Shielded Minibot, they actually have to remove this card.Not a lot of Mage so far -- the class isnt hurting -- and here were have a card in Manic Soulcaster that makes sense for a more Grinder-style of Control Mage that seeks to slowly crush the opponent and win sometime near or during fatigue. A three-mana 3/4 is always playable even if you cant take advantage of it -- Fjola Lightbane and Eydis Darkbane never became key cards in constructed, but there were never cards that you hated to run have. The ability to add an extra Sylvanas Windrunner or Ragnaros or Archmage Antonidas to your deck can have value to this type of Mage. Freeze Mage lists are too tight to take much advantage of this card.In Shaky Zipgunner and Trogg Beastrager, we get two cards that enable a minion-type Midrange Hunter over the Secret-heavy style weve been seeing since Karazhan. Both are reasonably statted cards with decent, but not overpowering effects that will probably see more play in Arena rather than a more refined tournament deck.I love the concept of Piranha Launcher, both for the art/concept -- who wouldnt like to have a gun that shoots piranhas? -- and the novel effect it has. Problem being is that its too slow to fit into any current Hunter deck, it begs for a Control Hunter deck, but the cards just arent there for that.We start things off with the simple Mark of the Lotus, a one-mana spell giving all your minions +1/+1. Essentially, take Power of the Wild, make it one mana cheaper, but in return, remove the opportunity to summon a 3/2 Panther. Its a good buff card -- as is Power of the Wild -- but its a real cost given that sometimes you just want the 3/2 Panther. Frequently youll draw this card without a good board state for the buff. I can see decks that play two Powers of the Wild replacing one of them, but I cant see this card supplanting it entirely.Pilfered Power looks very powerful on its face, but the three mana cost is significant, which keeps it from being as good as it looks at first glance. Decks that run a lot of smaller minions, necessary to get the most value from this card, likely dont have enough large minions to really take advantage of the extra mana. And decks that would like this effect the best, if they have a large board, theyve probably already won.Lunar Visions gives a significant mana discount, a very powerful thing to have in a card game, but you also have to build a very specific type-of-deck to make this preferable to Nourish, one that is extremely minion heavy. And thats hard to do in Druid, because Wild Growth, Innervate, Wrath, and Swipe are must-haves and you could easily put in another 6-8 desirable spells in your deck, even in a Beast build. If you dont have high odds of drawing two minions, Nourish is preferable.Hey, a free 7/7! Kun the Forgotten King has a nice upside, a free 7/7 on Turn 10, but theres a serious cost as you cannot play this card at all until 10. Its not like one of the Giants that you can feasibly reduce the baseline cost, but a card that has to stick in your hand until you have ten mana. And the longer this card is in your hand, the fewer options you have in your hand to make sure you survive that long. An interesting card that might see play -- maybe well finally get a true Aviana Ramp Druid -- but this could very easily be one of the more overrated cards in the set.31 down, 131 to go! ' ' '
