vement in a hit-and-run in New Mexico. Cormier captu

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Jaguars and Chiefs probably had to dig into the archives for game film to prepare this week.Jacksonville perhaps tried to unearth some film of Philadelphia, circa 2012, when Nick Foles started six games at quarterback for Andy Reid.Thats because Foles is due to start for Reid again Sunday in place of Alex Smith, who has been ruled out this week with a head injury.Kansas City might have scrounged up tape of Buffalo, circa 2013-14, when Nathaniel Hackett was the offensive coordinator. He was promoted to the same job in Jacksonville last week when Greg Olson was fired .We played him when they were in Buffalo, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Hackett, but listen, you dont know -- you dont know exactly what theyre thinking. You got to take care of yourself.The Chiefs (5-2) have been doing a fine job of that lately. Theyve ripped off three consecutive wins, playing their best football of the season, and are tied in the loss column for the AFC West lead.Meanwhile, the Jaguars (2-5) have lost two in a row -- a big reason for the coaching shakeup.You know, its a different dynamic. Nates out there, how the plays are coming into the quarterback, his coaching style, Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley said, just waiting to see how it all comes together.It has been good without getting too much into what were doing.Bradley said early in the week that he was preparing for Smith or Foles to start, but Smith was ruled out Wednesday. He had endured two brutal collisions with the hard turf in Indianapolis last week, and despite being cleared of a concussion, the Chiefs decided to err on the side of caution.Besides, Foles was stellar in relief against the Colts.I feel great in this offense. I always liked playing for Coach Reid, he said. Its happened so fast, but I feel great about the playbook and where were at as a team and where Im at understanding it.Foles has faced Bradley and the Jaguars before. He was the starter for then-coach Chip Kelly two years ago when the Eagles opened the season against them. Jacksonville led that one 17-0 at halftime, then Foles led his team to 34 unanswered points in the second half to win the game.Not surprising that he went to a system like Kansas City after having success with (Reid), Bradley said. He just does a very good job. Very efficient, makes good decisions.Reid insisted the Chiefs do not have to change their offense with Foles under center, while Hackett is likely to unveil some substantial tweaks to a Jacksonville offense thats struggled the past two weeks.Hes definitely taught me more than any coach that Ive ever been around, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said.It was a lot of long hours of us trying to put a plan together and come up with what we were going to do and how we were going to attack different things versus different looks. So, been able to create a really good relationship with him. It will definitely continue.As the Chiefs and Jaguars prepare to meet, here are some additional story lines:RUNNING BACK WOES: The Chiefs Spencer Ware sustained a concussion against Indianapolis, and Jamaal Charles had exploratory surgery this past week on his right knee. That left Charcandrick West the only available running back on the active roster, and prompted the signing of former second-round pick Bishop Sankey.BLAKES TUTOR: Bortles spent the week working with his personal coach , Adam Dedeaux, trying to kind of get tuned up. The quarterback said they worked on footwork and tightening his release, and hes hopeful the sessions will help him to escape a season-long funk.Theres always a couple things you forget, Bortles said. Its kind of a refreshment.MORE ABOUT FOLES: The Chiefs backup was signed in training camp and the move paid off in Indianapolis, where Foles was 16 of 22 for 223 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in their 30-16 win.RIGHT MINDSET: Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash spent the week propping up his beleaguered bunch, which allowed 494 yards to Tennessee in a 36-22 loss last Thursday night.I think I have more confidence in them than they do, he said. Ive had some meetings with our players. I still think were a good defense. I think were going to continue to play good defensively and thats what we expect out of them.NATE IN KC: Hacketts father, Paul, was the offensive coordinator for the Chiefs from 1993-97 before becoming head coach at Southern California. That means the younger Hackett spent some of his formative years in Arrowhead Stadium before graduating from high school in suburban Kansas City.He definitely talked about it and said its loud as heck. We cranked the music up at practice, Bortles said. I dont even know if that comes close to it, but we tried.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Custom Tim Horton Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes.

UFC interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (22-1) is a 3-to-1 favorite July 9 in his unification bout at UFC 200 against divisional champ Daniel Cormier?(17-1).Jones dealt Cormier the only loss of his career at UFC 182 in January 2015. Watching the first meeting again with ESPNs Phil Murphy, Jones remembered the moment at which the fight -- and his eighth title defense -- were secure.Round 3 is when I knew, OK, I could beat this guy for sure, no problem, said Jones, who held a 92-58 advantage in significant strikes. I remember thinking, Wow, this guy cant hurt me.Round 4 is when I was certain there was no way I was going to allow him to come back. My clinch was tiring him out. I thought Id stay in the pocket with him. Almost like my own version of a Rope-a-Dope.Jones was a 2-to-1 favorite entering their first bout, so three judges submitting 49-46 scorecards in his favor came as no shock. But what did surprise those watching was the ease with which Jones was able to outwrestle Cormier. Cormier previously had never allowed a takedown in MMA -- a record Jones erased barely 40 seconds into the fight.ddddddddddddDaniel Cormier, his best years were back in 2004 when he was in the Olympics, said Jones, who went 3-for-5 in takedown attempts at UFC 182. Thats just the way it works. When you spend time away from a sport, you tend not to be as good as you used to be. Ive learned to not really respect his credentials.Jones was stripped of his light heavyweight title by the UFC in April 2015 following a felony arrest for his involvement in a hit-and-run in New Mexico. Cormier captured the vacant title with a victory over Anthony Johnson one month later at UFC 187.?A rematch between Jones and Cormier was scratched ahead of UFC 197 when Cormier withdrew due to injury, and Jones defeated late-replacement Ovince Saint Preux for the interim title. ?Now my confidence will be even stronger going into our rematch, Jones said. Ill be actually training to take him down, where before I was mainly training not be taken down. ' ' '
