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 Larry Murphy Penguins Jersey .

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Evgeni Malkin Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Matt Murray Penguins Jersey . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.UFC president Dana White has told Conor McGregor to forget about fighting at UFC 200 in July. McGregor had been due to fight Nate Diaz in a rematch in Las Vegas this summer, the man he lost his unbeaten UFC record to, but briefly announced his retirement from the octagon earlier this week.He retracted his retirement on Thursday, saying his earlier announcement had been provoked by the amount of promotional work he had been forced to do for previous fights. But White said that was part and parcel of UFC and ruled out the chance of Diaz taking on McGregor for a second time at a press conference in Las Vegas, one the Irishman failed to show for.Anybody who has fought for the UFC over the last 16 years knows that we try to give as much leeway as we can on things, White said. McGregor (left) lost for the first time in his UFC career when Diaz defeated him in March But you have to show up to promote the fight. You have to show up to press conferences and shoot the commercials. Its part of the job. Its what we do here.We gave Conor every opportunity in the world to get here. We get crriticised a lot for bending too much to Conor - and we do.dddddddddddd Conor is a guy that has stepped up and fought in big fights on short notice. I respect Conor very much as a fighter and I like him, but you have to show up and do this stuff. Diaz applies a choke hold to win by submission against McGregor during UFC 196 in Las Vegas Diaz was in attendance at the press conference, along with a number of other fighters, and dropped a large hint that he would not fight at UFC 200 if his Irish rival was frozen out of proceedings.I came to fight Conor McGregor and I dont really have too much interest in anyone else, Diaz said. I dont have any interest in fighting at all. If thats what we were going to do, I thought we were going to do it.I didnt ask for that fight, he asked for that fight. If we dont do that fight, Im going on vacation. Also See: Do you like McGregor? McGregor: I am not retired McGregor pulled from UFC 200 Who is UFCs real No 1? ' ' '
