NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Blair Walsh started off a new season the same way the Minnesota kicker wrapped up his last: hooking field goals left.This time, Walsh missed not just one, but two field goals and twice on the second attempt before redeeming himself. He rebounded by kicking four field goals in the second half Sunday as Minnesota beat the Tennessee Titans 25-16.But Walsh also missed an extra point, leaving Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer disappointed and expecting improvement.Hes going to have to kick them through, Zimmer said. Hes our kicker so theres no question about that, but he needs to kick better.Walsh had all offseason to dwell over the 27-yard field goal he shanked in a 10-9 loss to Seattle in the playoffs last January when holder Jeff Locke couldnt spin the ball to get the laces out.The kicker told reporters after Sundays game he would love the first two attempts back and was grateful he got four more chances along with the victory. His first kick from 37 yards missed left, and he badly yanked consecutive attempts from 56 yards short and left just before halftime even after Tennessee tried to ice him with a timeout.I was trying to kill it because I had to get it there, Walsh said of the distance. Thats usually the result when youre trying to do that too. Thats how I looked at them. I dont think theres anything ... more you can take from it than that. Ill have to watch a little bit more to see exactly whats going on.Being mad at himself in the locker room at halftime seemed to help refocus the kicker. In the third quarter, Walsh got the defending NFC North champs on the scoreboard with a 50-yard field goal.I knew that one was well within my range, Walsh said. And you know, Ive been around a little while. I think I can bounce back and Ive shown that. Like I said, I want to make it smooth from the beginning, and its something I need to work on.He added a 33-yarder and looked back in rhythm until missing the extra point after Eric Kendricks 77-yard interception return late in the third. Walsh was 33 of 37 on extra points last season.Walsh shook off that miss and added field goals of 45 and 30 yards in the fourth quarter.Now in his fifth season, Walsh has five game-winning field goals in his career, and he now has 24 field goals from 50 yards or longer in his career. That ties him with former Minnesota kicker Ryan Longwell and the late Rob Bironas for 15th in NFL history from that distance.Walsh wants to take any drama out of sending him out for any kick.You want to have those kicks that are dead center from the beginning and make it smooth the whole time rather than fighting through it and getting in a rhythm, Walsh said. Were too good to do that, and I know better than to do that.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs star Kris Bryant left Mondays game against the Cincinnati Reds with what was called a lower left leg contusion after he collided with center fielder Albert Almora Jr. in the fifth inning of the Cubs 10-4 win, but manager Joe Maddon said Bryant should be OK.He should be fine tomorrow [Tuesday], Maddon said of Bryant, who hit his league-leading 24th home run in the game. Im anticipating putting his name in the lineup tomorrow.Maddon indicated that if the Cubs hadnt been blowing out the Reds at the time, Bryant would probably have stayed in the game. ?Bryant was shaken up for a moment but stayed in the game to finish the inning. Replays showed both players calling for the ball.Almora shouldered most of the blame.Its my fault, Almora said. Ill take full responsibility for that. It was toward his side. I dont hear anything, and I dont want to let a ball drop out there. I called it at the veryy end, but it was too late.dddddddddddd.Matt Szczur pinch hit for Bryant in the following inning, as the Cubs were up big on the Reds.?Bryant has 24 home runs and 63 RBIs and is likely to be named the All-Star Game starter at third base when final fan voting is released Tuesday.The Cubs are dealing with several injured players, including regular center fielder Dexter Fowler?and?semi-regular left fielder Jorge Soler. Bryant has played more in left while Soler has been out.Getting dressed next to Almora as he spoke with reporters was injured catcher/outfielder Kyle Schwarber, who was lost for the season after an April collision with Fowler.Albert is just an aggressive center fielder, Maddon said. Hes so darn good. ... We just have to be more verbal. Loud, loud when you make that call.
