DETROIT -- The Jacksonville Jaguars finally forced a couple turnovers.Then they lost anyway -- thanks in part to a giveaway of their own.After five straight games without a takeaway, Jacksonville recovered two Detroit fumbles Sunday, but that wasnt enough on a day when neither offense was particularly impressive. Instead it was the Lions who capitalized on the games most significant turnover, returning an interception for a touchdown in their 26-19 victory over the Jaguars.Jacksonville had not forced a turnover since Oct. 2 against Indianapolis. The Jaguars (2-8) forced one on special teams and one on defense Sunday.One wasnt enough, and if thats going to be the case, thats fine, Jacksonville linebacker Paul Posluszny said. We have to find a way to continue to build off that and make it happen, so that we end up winning these types of games.On Detroits very first play from scrimmage, the ball came loose after Matthew Stafford completed a pass to Anquan Boldin. Officials ruled Boldin down, and that call was upheld after the Jaguars challenged.Jacksonville didnt have to wait much longer to snap its takeaway drought. Later in the first quarter, Andre Roberts muffed a punt, and Ben Koyack recovered for the Jaguars at the Detroit 11-yard line.Jacksonvilles offense couldnt take advantage, though, settling for a field goal and a 3-0 lead.Near the end of the third quarter, with the Jaguars up 19-16, Detroits Golden Tate fumbled, and linebacker Telvin Smith recovered at the Jacksonville 34. Again, the Jaguars wasted the opportunity, going three-and-out and punting. The Lions (6-4) then drove 79 yards and took the lead for good on Eric Ebrons 1-yard scoring run.That was the only offensive touchdown of the game for Detroit, which also scored on a 55-yard punt return by Roberts in the second quarter and a 39-yard interception return by Rafael Bush in the third.Punt return for a touchdown, a pick-6 for a touchdown, Posluszny said. We finally forced a turnover on defense, which was great, because it shows us that, hey, if you really concentrate on tackling the football and making plays on the ball, things can happen.The Lions had lost only one fumble all season before Sunday, and they had forced only seven turnovers themselves. They managed three more takeaways against the Jaguars, recovering a fumble in the second quarter and adding two interceptions in the second half.During the course of the season, youre going to have to win a football game a lot of different ways, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said. It cant just be your offense. Sometimes its going to be your defense, sometimes its going to be your kicking game combined with it.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Ervin Santana Jersey .

Harmon Killebrew Jersey . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. STANFORD, Calif. -- Even in November, Tara VanDerveer prepares her team for March by scheduling tough games and treating them like NCAA Tournament matchups.Crisp ball movement and balance carried Stanford.Brittany McPhee scored a career-high 28 points, Erica McCall added 17 points and six blocked shots, and No. 11 Stanford avenged a home loss against Texas from two years ago by beating the eighth-ranked Longhorns 71-59 on Monday night.McPhee shot 11 for 15 and had seven rebounds, while McCall had five boards and blocked five of her shots in the first half as Stanford (2-0) shot 54.9 percent to overcome 20 turnovers and spoil Texas season opener.Our team really focused. This was like an NCAA Tournament week. It was awesome, VanDerveer said. Im really proud of how people worked and Im really excited for the good things that we did and well go right back to work and get ready for Gonzaga and clean up some of those rebounds, some of those turnovers.VanDerveer, the Hall of Fame coach beginning her 31st season at the school and 38th as a college coach, moved 18 victories away from joining the late Pat Summitt as the only womens coaches to reach 1,000 career wins.After the Longhorns cut Stanfords lead to 52-47 on Joyner Holmes layin with 3:10 left in the third quarter, McCall quickly answered on the other end and Alanna Smith scored the next time down as the Cardinal capitalized on Atkins turnover.Smith, a sophomore from Australia, had her family in the stands visiting. Her father, Darren, was asked during one timeout what insight he had for the team -- and his response was a good one.Get Brittany McPhee the ball, he said, smiling.Brooke McCarty, the leading returning scorer for Texas after she averaged 11.8 points last season, had 20 points and Ariel Atkins had 14.It was an eye opener today, McCarty said. We kind of have to take that and roll with it. We just got outplayed and we got beat.A junior guard with 11 career starts over her first two college seasons, McPhee is taking on a bigger role for VanDerveers young team. And Texas, which beat Stanford the past two seasons, didnt have an answer for her accuracy.The Longhorns ended the Cardinals 28-game home winning streak with an 87-81 overtime win at Maples Pavilion on Nov.dddddddddddd 20, 2014, when Stanford was ranked sixth and Texas No. 10 -- the programs first win over a top-10 team in almost six years. It marked the first meeting when both teams were in the top-10.That year, Stanford couldnt make it two in a row after beating No. 1 Connecticut 88-86 in overtime three nights earlier to snap the Huskies 47-game winning streak.Then Texas won again last season in Austin, 77-69.Stanford was too much this time.When you get beat sometimes all you do is talk about what your team wasnt good at but I would say that midway through the second quarter they really broke our defense down, Texas coach Karen Aston said. Were young and a little bit immature and I thought that we started panicking a little bit. We missed some free throws and our confidence got rattled a little bit at the end of the first half and we werent able to recover from that.BIG PICTURETexas: The Longhorns held a 38-32 rebounding edge but were just 6 for 14 at the free throw line. They lost a season opener for the first time under fifth-year coach Aston (4-1). ... Aston coached her 300th career game. She is now 190-110 starting her 10th season as a college coach and 89-47 in her fifth season leading the Longhorns. ... Texas started the season on the road for only the second time in the past 13 years.Stanford: McCall was one off her career high in blocks. She had three blocks in a season-opening win against Cal Poly on Friday and now has nine through two games. I love blocked shots, she said. ... The Cardinal are 15-4 at home against top-10 teams over the last 10-plus seasons and 139-7 at Maples since 2007-08.UP NEXTTexas: The Longhorns host Houston Baptist on Wednesday morning in their home opener, an 11 a.m. local time tipoff for the programs annual 40 Acres Field Trip game for middle-school students from around Texas and a day that includes educational activities.Stanford: The Cardinal have another tough opponent Friday at home against West Coast Conference power Gonzaga, winner of 11 of the last 12 WCC regular-season titles and picked to do so again.
