Oakland punter Marquette Kings quick thinking and fast feet helped the Raiders start out 4-0 on the road for the first time since 2000. It was a rare gem on a weekend when the NFLs special teams didnt live up to the moniker.Dan Quinns gut betrayed him in another Atlanta loss, and Ryan Fitzpatrick has gone from tossing interceptions to throwing darts at his coach, owner and GM.Kings was among the best calls in the NFLs Week 7 that featured Tony Dungy calling for Jeff Fisher to give No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff a chance to kick-start his career already.Put him in now, the Hall of Famer and NBC analyst said after watching Case Keenum throw three fourth-quarter interceptions in the Rams 17-10 loss to the Giants in London. Its obvious Case Keenum cannot take this team to the playoffs.Fisher doesnt want to hear it.Jareds going to play when we feel Jareds ready, Fisher said.To which Dungy said, I believe theyve got to get him ready.FADING FALCONS: When the Falcons won at Denver two weeks ago, Quinn said there was no comparison between this years team and last years. In 2015, the Falcons won their first five but finished 8-8. We are mentally tougher this time around, he said.Quinn showed too much faith in them in overtime Sunday.The Falcons (4-3) lost their second straight game when Quinn went for it on fourth-and-1 at the Atlanta 45-yard line and Devonta Freeman was stuffed by linebacker Denzel Perryman . That set up Josh Lambos 42-yard winning field goal in the Chargers 33-30 win.It was just instincts, Perryman said. On fourth-and-1, it was a no-brainer that they were going to run the ball.Another no-brainer? Burying the Chargers deep with a punt right there.It was a gut feeling that I went with and it didnt work, Quinn said. We can second-guess it. Thats easy to do but it was more of a mindset. I have such belief in the guys to go and get that half a yard that we needed.In Quinns defense, special teams had a tough time Sunday, starting with Jets rookie punter Lachlan Edwards letting the ball slip through his hands on New Yorks first possession, handing Baltimore a quick 2-yard touchdown.The Raiders were leading the Jaguars by 10 with 3:35 left when King went in to punt on fourth-and-24. It looked like he was going to get smothered by the Jaguars when the snap skittered along the grass and he scooped it up. King, however, tucked the ball and darted 27 yards down the right sideline for the clinching first down.We feel like were a good football team thats learning how to win games and recognizing theres still a lot of things we need to work on, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.His athletic punter isnt on his fix-it list.DREARY IN THE DESERT: Hours after 43-year-old kicker Adam Vinatieri sent his 43rd consecutive field goal attempt through the goal posts for Indianapolis, the Seahawks and Cardinals stumbled to a 6-6 tie. Arizonas Chandler Catanzaro clanked a 24-yard would-be winner off the left upright, and Seattles Stephen Hauschka hooked a 27-yarder with 7 seconds left in OT.I make that kick 999,999 times out of a million, Catanzaro said.Catanzaros miss came on third-and-6 after the Cardinals took a 5-yard delay-of-game penalty when they couldnt punch it in from inside the 1. Hauschka missed wide left on second-and-goal from the 10 with the clock ticking down.Sometimes bad luck oversteps good decisions.PRATFALL IN PITTSBURGH: The Steelers opted to try a 54-yard field goal on fourth-and-3 with about nine minutes left when trailing New England 27-16. Chris Boswell pushed it right and the Steelers never got close again.He made a similar kick a year ago in that same spot on the field when we tried him out. And the weather conditions were worse than they are tonight, coach Mike Tomlin said. We were down there, we had an opportunity to make it a one-score game. I took that chance.And the Steelers came away empty-handed for the second time after a takeaway in Patriots territory.THROWING DARTS: Fitzpatrick still believes in himself, even if the Jets decision makers dont. Just five days after being benched, the veteran quarterback came on in relief of an injured Geno Smith and helped lead the Jets on three scoring drives in a 24-16 comeback victory over the Ravens.The biggest thing in this game, in order to last, is to have belief in yourself, Fitzpatrick said. Because when the owner stops believing in you, the GM stops believing in you and the coaches stop believing in you, sometimes all you have is yourself.Yes, he added, he means he feels nobody believes in him anymore, not owner Woody Johnson, not GM Mike Maccagnan, not coach Todd Bowles.Yeah, when you get put on the bench, he said, I think thats the reason why.But with Smith now out with a knee injury, it looks like Fitz will be back behind center.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writers Dennis Waszak Jr. and Will Graves contributed.---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Cheap Paul George Shoes . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez escaped from Cuba by boat on his fourth try as a teenager, and when his mother fell into the Yucatan Channel during the journey, he jumped in and pulled her out.Fernandezs heroic backstory made his death early Sunday that much more heart-wrenching. The charismatic Miami Marlins ace was killed in a boating accident at age 24.Fernandez and two other people died when their 32-foot vessel slammed into a jetty off Miami Beach, authorities said.Authorities didnt know the time of the crash. The capsized boat was found shortly after 3 a.m.All I can do is scream in disbelief, said Hall of Famer Tony Perez, a Marlins executive and native of Cuba. Jose won the love of all. I feel as if I had lost a son.Major League Baseball released a statement saying it was stunned and devastated.He was one of our games great young stars who made a dramatic impact on and off the field since his debut in 2013, Commissioner Rob Manfred said. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the Miami Marlins organization and all of the people he touched in his life.The Marlins game Sunday at home against the Atlanta Braves was canceled. The Braves, along with several other teams, quickly offered condolences.Hands down one of my favorite guys to watch pitch! He brought nothing but intensity and passion, Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price tweeted.Within hours after the news broke, Marlins players gathered at the ballpark to grieve together.A lot of words were said -- meaningful words and emotion and prayer, team president David Samson said. Jose is a member of this family for all time.Samson spoke at a news conference while surrounded by every player on the Marlins, except their ace. The players wore team jerseys -- black ones. Pitcher David Phelps stared at the floor and shook his head, while outfielder Christian Yelich took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Their eyes were red.Manager Don Mattingly and president of baseball operations Michael Hill flanked Samson and unsuccessfully fought back tears. Slugger Giancarlo Stanton didnt speak but later posted a tribute on Instagram.Im still waiting to wake up from this nightmare, Stanton said. I lost my brother today and cant quite comprehend it. The shock is overwhelming. What he meant to me, our team, the city of Miami, Cuba & everyone else in the world that his enthusiasm/heart has touched can never be replaced. I cant fathom what his family is going through because We, as his extended Family are a wreck.Fernandez was on a vessel that hit a jetty near a harbor entrance, said Lorenzo Veloz of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The overturned boat remained in the water for several hours, its engines partially submerged as its nose pointed skyward, and debris from the crash was scattered over some of the large jagged rocks.Veloz described the condition of the boat as horrible.City of Miami Fire-Rescue workers were seen carrying bodies, draped and on stretchers, at the Coast Guard station after sunrise. They were taken to the medical examiners office. Two bodies were found under the vessel and a third was found on the jetty.The names of the other two victims were withheld pending notification of relatives, the Coast Guard said. One of them was the son of a Miami-Dade police detective, the police department said.It does appear that speed was involved due to the impact and the severity of it, Veloz said. It does appear to be that they were coming at full speed when they encountered the jetty, and the accident happened.Fernandez died from trauma and not drowning, Veloz said, who added there was no immediate indication that alcohol or drugs were a cause in the crash. He said none of the three victims wore a life jacket.The boat was owned by a friend of Fernandez.It does pertain to a friend of Jose who is very well connected with several Marlins players, and I have stopped that boat before for safety inspections with other Marlins players on board, Veloz said. We know that this boat knows the area. We just cant answer why this happened.Marlins owner Jefffrey Loria was out of town but planned to fly to Miami.ddddddddddddSadly, the brightest lights are often the ones that extinguish the fastest, Loria said in a statement. Jose left us far too soon, but his memory will endure in all of us. At this difficult time, our prayers are with his mother, grandmother, family and friends.A native of Santa Clara, Cuba, Fernandez was unsuccessful in his first three attempts to defect, and spent several months in prison. At 15, he and his mother finally made it to Mexico, and were reunited in Tampa, Florida, with his father, who had escaped from Cuba two years earlier.The Marlins drafted him in 2011 and Fernandez was in the majors two years later at 20. He went 38-17 in his four seasons with Miami, winning the NLs Rookie of the Year award in 2013, and was twice an All-Star.Last week, Fernandez posted a photo of his girlfriend sporting a baby bump on his Instagram page, announcing that the couple was expecting its first child.Im so glad you came into my life, Fernandez wrote in that post. Im ready for where this journey is gonna take us together.Fernandez became a U.S. citizen last year and was enormously popular in Miami thanks to his success and exuberant flair. When he wasnt pitching, he would hang over the dugout railing as the teams lead cheerleader.When I think about Josie, its going to be thinking about a little kid, said Mattingly, pausing repeatedly to compose himself. I see such a little boy in him ... the way he played. ... Kids play Little League, thats the joy Jose played with.Mattingly then wiped away tears, and he wasnt alone. Retiring Red Sox star David Ortiz asked the Tampa Bay Rays to cancel a pregame tribute they scheduled in his honor before his final game in their ballpark Sunday.I dont have the words to describe the pain I feel, Ortiz said.The New York Mets, in the thick of a playoff chase, will begin a series in Miami on Monday. Fernandezs debut game in 2013 was against the Mets, and he was scheduled to face them Monday after having his start pushed back a day.When the first pitch left his hand, the first thought is, `Oh, wow, this is something special, said Mets manager Terry Collins, who picked Fernandez for this years All-Star Game. This was not only one of the greatest pitchers in the modern game but one of the finest young men youd ever meet, who played the game with passion and fun and enjoyed being out there.The game Monday will be played as scheduled, the Marlins said.Deep in our hearts there is a lot of pain, Miami third baseman Martin Prado said. Somehow weve got to overcome that.Fernandezs death immediately brought memories of past baseball tragedies, such as the deaths of Thurman Munson and Roberto Clemente -- stars who died in plane crashes in the 1970s.Cleveland teammates Steve Olin and Tim Crews were killed in a boating accident in Florida in 1993, and the game also reeled from the sudden deaths of major leaguers Darryl Kile, Nick Adenhart, Lyman Bostock and Cory Lidle in recent years.Video boards at Marlins Park on Sunday morning showed a large 16 -- Fernandezs uniform number -- over his name. The number was also painted on the mound, and flowers rested on the rubber. A few dozen fans milled about in the ballpark plaza, some wearing Fernandez jerseys.There were pregame tributes and moments of silence for Fernandez across the majors. His jersey hung in the Mets dugout as they played Philadelphia at Citi Field.Fernandezs 76th and final game was Tuesday, when he pitched eight shutout innings, struck out 12 and beat the Washington Nationals 1-0.He told one of his teammates that the last game he pitched, against the Nationals, was the best game he ever pitched, Prado said, his voice breaking. Now hes gone, and its hard.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum in New York, AP writer Jason Dearen in Gainesville and AP freelancers Ian Harrison in Toronto and Mark Didtler in St. Petersburg contributed to this report.
