OAKLAND, Calif. -- For the first 36 minutes, the game went as scripted for the Buffalo Bills. Then, in a span of a little more than 15 minutes, the game, and most likely their playoff hopes, fell out of the Bills grasp.Buffalo squandered a 15-point lead by allowing 29 straight points to the Raiders in a 38-24 loss Sunday that dealt a major blow to the playoff hopes for a franchise that hasnt made it to the postseason since 1999.You feel that momentum shift and it just snowballed on us, coach Rex Ryan said. Sometimes I think we lose confidence and you just cant let that happen to you.The Bills (6-6) had scored touchdowns on the first two drives of the second half to build a 24-9 lead before Derek Carr, Khalil Mack and the Raiders (10-2) took it over for Oaklands biggest comeback victory since 1999.Carr engineered four touchdown drives in a span of 15:27, while the Bills went three-and-out on three straight possessions and then threw an interception by Tyrod Taylor that just about sealed the game. Buffalo was outgained 212-8 during that stretch.It was crazy, safety Corey Graham said. It was one of those situations where everything they did went right and we just couldnt make a play. Ive never really been in a situation like that where everything went wrong, just like you couldnt make a play, and then those guys went on a roll and it was like everything they did turned to gold.The Bills fell two games behind Denver in the race for the second wild-card spot in the AFC and now will need lots of help to end the NFLs longest active playoff drought now that they are in a three-way tie for eighth place in the conference.Buffalo appeared capable of putting together an impressive win against a top-notch opponent the way the offense opened the second half. LeSean McCoy ran 54 yards on the first play before Taylor scored on a 12-yard keeper after that to make it 17-9.After forcing a three-and-out and a short punt, Buffalo methodically drove down field and scored again on Mike Gillislees second TD run to make it 24-9.I just felt like this is a game that we had in our hands and we let slip away, said McCoy, who ran for 130 yards and added 61 more receiving.Carr began carving up the Bills defense after that, throwing TD passes to Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper in his sixth fourth-quarter comeback of the season.The Raiders also had success on the ground with Latavius Murray scoring on two TD runs and even capitalized on two rare turnovers by the Bills to put the game away.With Buffalo trailing by six points midway through the fourth, Mack got pressure and deflected a pass out of the end zone from Taylor that Nate Allen intercepted to set up Murrays second score that made it 38-24.The Bills then got the offense moving on the next drive only to lose the ball when Mack broke through for a strip sack and recovered the fumble.Buffalo had been on a record pace protecting the ball, committing just six turnovers coming into the game -- the fewest ever in the NFL after 11 games.We just made it tougher on ourselves, Taylor said. But we have the type of guys in our locker room who can bounce back. As far as moving forward, we just have to out there and win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Saucony Jazz Original Black . -- The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major professional sports franchise to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and merchandise purchases.

Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Mens Nike Free Rn Flyknit . There was no hesitation from the 40th-ranked Pospisil, from Vernon, B.C., who admitted that he cut back on his training sessions over the last few days to conserve energy as the long ATP season finishes next week at the Paris Masters. 2017 Nike Free RN Distance 2 Mens/Womens Grey/Stealth/Black 863775-002 .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Australias captain Steven Smith ranked a surprise hiding at the hands of Sri Lanka among the most deflating results of his career, after pledging his leadership would be focused upon improving the national teams record in overseas territory.The 106-run defeat in little more than three days of actual playing time has put Australias No. 1 ranking at risk, being their seventh consecutive loss in Test matches in Asia and first to Sri Lanka in 17 years. Meanwhile a hamstring injury to the left-arm spinner Steve OKeefe means Smith will be relying on the ability of the Victorian spinner Jon Holland to hit the ground running when he links up with the squad in Galle for a match on what is expected to be an even sharper spinning pitch than that seen in Pallekele. A task considered well within the teams capability ahead of the series now looks exceptionally steep.Familiar Australian weaknesses against spin bowling were laid bare by Rangana Herath and his wrist-spinning offsider Lakshan Sandakan, as they shared 16 wickets between them. At the same time batsmen like David Warner and Usman Khawaja were put to shame by an extraordinarily composed innings of 176 from the 21-year-old Man of the Match Kusal Mendis. Smith, too, had reason for self-recrimination, as his charge down the track at Heraths first ball on day two had effectively swung the match.It is disappointing, Smith said. I said before the game that we havent played well in subcontinent conditions for quite a while now. Its something that under my captaincy I want to change. There were glimpses throughout this game that weve improved in some aspects but I think we just let ourselves down a lot as well.I generally play spinners quite aggressively. Ive hit that ball for four or six several times throughout my career. I got beaten on the inside of the bat. Its just suumming it up and making sure I play with a straighter bat if Im trying to go over the top.dddddddddddd I know it looked ugly and it probably didnt look great. For me, its about making sure I still have that intent to score.In expressing sorrow for OKeefes exit, particularly after he had fought bravely alongside Peter Nevill to try to delay defeat on the final afternoon, Smith also spoke optimistically about the skills of Holland. The pair were fellow academy inductees nearly a decade ago, and will need to find quick rapport as captain and spinner to help bring Sri Lankas batsmen to heel.Galle is the biggest spinning place here in Sri Lanka, or so weve been told so its going to play a big part again, Smith said. Jon Holland is a class bowler, hes done pretty well in state cricket and having a left-arm orthodox bowler in these conditions is a must. Hes accurate, he hits a good area and hopefully we can see some of the same as what we saw from Steve and Rangana, with some balls spinning and some balls skidding. Its incredibly hard to play against and Im looking forward to him getting here and having a couple of days preparation with us.He and I went to the academy together so we know each other reasonably well and Im sure hell fit in well around this group. Theres always challenges when youre playing international cricket, especially away from home. Hes going to have to get a game plan and the speeds that he needs to bowl together pretty quickly. Well be working with him to make sure he gets that in and Im really excited for him to join us.Holland for OKeefe is likely to be the only change to the Australian side, with Smith looking for his team to atone for their missteps in Pallekele.
