HOUSTON -- Brock Osweiler was so bad in a loss to San Diego on Sunday that Houston Texans coach Bill OBrien was asked twice after the game if hed considered benching him.Osweiler threw three interceptions and failed to move the offense for most of the day in a 21-13 win by the Chargers.OBrien said that Osweiler would not be benched in favor of Tom Savage, but didnt elaborate or criticize his quarterback. Osweiler however, had plenty to say about what he did wrong on Sunday.I need to play better for us to win, he said. I feel like our team gave us the opportunity to win today and I didnt play up to what Im capable of doing, and thats on me and Ill get that cleaned up.The Chargers were up by four in the fourth quarter when Philip Rivers evaded the rush and delivered a 25-yard pass to Inman. Kareem Jackson was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet hit on the play, leaving San Diego at the 12-yard line. Rivers delivered a touchdown pass to rookie Hunter Henry on the next play to push the lead to 21-10.Osweilers second interception came after that when he badly overthrew C.J. Fiedorowicz and Dwight Lowery made the easy grab.Houston added a field goal with 37 seconds left and recovered an onside kick. But Osweilers first shot at the end zone was knocked down, and the second one was intercepted as time expired.We started out pretty well, but just couldnt do anything consistently on offense, OBrien said. Defense was out there quite a bit. I thought they played hard. Gave up some plays here and there, but just disappointing to lose. Its horrible.Sunday wasnt the first time Osweiler has struggled. Hes failed to play consistently throughout his first season in Houston after leaving to Denver to sign a $72 million contract. He has 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Despite his inconsistent play and a second straight loss, the Texans still have a half-game lead on Tennessee in the weak AFC South .I know weve had some ups and weve had some downs and youd like to see steady improvement, but sometimes that doesnt take place, Osweiler said. But Im very optimistic about what this football team can accomplish. All of our goals are right in front of us to accomplish.To do that theyll need to figure out how to win on the road with games at Green Bay and Indianapolis coming up in the next two weeks. Sunday was their first loss at home, but theyve won just one of four games away from Houston, at Jacksonville.Were going to try to work to make sure we have a good game plan for Green Bay, teach it to the players, OBrien said. Hopefully we can coach it good enough and execute it good enough that we can go out there and play better on offense against Green Bay.Along with taking better care of the ball, the Texans must take advantage of trips in the red zone. On Sunday they had a first down at the 6-yard line before the offense stalled and they settled for a 19-yard field goal. That cut the lead to 14-10 early in the fourth quarter.We just got to capitalize, running back Lamar Miller said.

TORONTO -- During?Carey Prices Hart Memorial Trophy season for the Montreal Canadiens?two years ago, a rival coach said he felt like his team was already a goal down to the Habs before the puck even dropped -- because of No. 31 in the opposing net.That intimidating force is back. Price, 29, is healthy and as good as ever.Hes in a league of his own, I think, when it comes to any player,?Toronto Maple Leafs?center Tyler Bozak said this week of Price. Its just incredible what he can do. There is a little bit of an intimidation factor. Hes a guy who, when I come down one-on-one, its very tough to beat him. Ive talked to guys who have played with [Price], and they say they cant even score on him in practice.Hes just a guy you have to know when you go into a game that you got to get traffic, youre not going to score pretty goals, you have to get in front of the net, try to take away his eyes and not let him see it. Maybe bang home some rebounds or get some tips.Or do what the Florida Panthers did earlier this week, when they became only the second team all season to score four goals against Price -- get a few breaks. One of Floridas goals was a knuckler that bounced off the ice, and the overtime winner was a changeup off a broken stick by?Aaron Ekblad.Hey, whatever it takes against this guy.Price sports a .948 save percentage in 11 starts (10-0-1), including a 37-save effort in a 2-1 win over the Leafs on Oct. 29.Theyre rivals, yes, but theres clearly a lot of respect for Price in the Leafs dressing room.I dont want to give him too much credit; theyre our rivals, said Leafs goaalie Frederik Andersen with a smile.dddddddddddd But when hes on his game, hes pretty much the gold standard for goaltending right now. Just how smooth he is. I came into the league a little bit later and definitely watched him a lot. When youre on your game, thats how you want to look. For me, playing a somewhat similar a style to him, he makes it look easy and thats the goal for goalies. You dont want to have too many highlight-reel saves even though it looks spectacular. Youd rather be in position.It just so happens that the Leafs have a former Habs forward hanging around while he figures out his future. Veteran forward Brandon Prust?--?who played three years in Montreal, including during Prices MVP season in 2014-15 -- said theres no question the star goalie can affect a shooters approach.Hes got that presence back there. Maybe you try too much, you try to get that clear shot when you should just throw pucks on net like you do against other goalies you have success against, said Prust, an unrestricted free agent who is working out with the Leafs. Crash and bang and look for rebounds. Some guys maybe overthink against him when they should just do the same things.Thats what his advice would be to the Leafs players if they ask him about facing Price.All I would tell them is treat it like another goalie, Prust said. Its like when you struggle to score in general. Get back to basics, get shots on goal, go for rebounds. Dont try to overthink it. ' ' '
