win as much as he can on his way out the door

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Rex Ryans tenuous future with the New York Jets isnt stopping the coach from trying to win as much as he can on his way out the door.No matter how much fans want a top draft pick.Chris Ivory scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 3:09 left, and the Jets beat the Tennessee Titans 16-11 on Sunday in a game marked by a brawl between teams playing only for pride with the loser hoping for better draft position.A real fan, a Jet fan, wants to win, Ryan said. It doesnt matter what pick you get or whatever. If Peyton Mannings out there, I can understand it, but I dont think Peyton Mannings out there. You know what? Were fighting every game, and were going to fight next week, too, against New England. Jet fans want to win, are you kidding me? Weve only got two of them.Now, actually three as the Jets (3-11) also won their first road game this season and snapped a three-game skid in the first NFL game to end with a 16-11 score.Im proud of that fact, a smiling Ryan said.Geno Smith threw for 179 yards and a TD. He also was apparently hit by Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, starting a brawl in the third quarter. Casey was flagged, but not ejected.The Titans (2-12) now have lost eight straight and 11 of 12 in their worst skid since 1994 when home was in Houston. They got the ball twice late, and reached the Jets 9 after three laterals on the final play came up short. Ryan said he thought the play should have been whistled dead on the third, which he said went forward.A lot of times when you run that play, you dont even get within striking distance, Titans quarterback Charlie Whitehurst said. We had a chance with a lateral play to make something happen, and we got pretty close.The Jets trailed 11-10 when Chris Johnson, playing against the team that cut him in April, ran 37 yards out of the wildcat to the Titans 4. Ivory capped the drive running wide left for the TD. The Jets went for the 2-point conversion, but Jeremy Kerley couldnt hold onto Smiths pass keeping it a 16-11 lead.The Titans got to the Jets 22 with 2 minutes left before turning it over on downs with a sack by Quinton Coples and three incompletions.They got it back with 21 seconds and were near midfield for the final play. Whitehurst, playing with Jake Locker out with an injured left shoulder, threw to Dexter McCluster, who lateraled to Nate Washington. The receiver threw back to Whitehurst, who lateraled to Delanie Walker — who was tackled by Dawan Landry to seal the Jets win.This game nearly got out of hand in the third quarter as referee John Parry was reviewing an 81-yard pass to Eric Decker.After Casey appeared to hit Smith, the teams started pushing and shoving with Casey also hitting Jets right tackle Breno Giacomini twice. Caseys helmet knocked off in the melee before officials broke it up. The review turned Deckers TD to a 48-yard completion, and Casey stayed in the game despite being flagged for a personal foul.Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said he thought a couple of Jets came off the bench in the melee. Ryan thought his quarterback took a punch in the face.But apparently, he didnt get hit, Ryan said.Smith finished the drive with a 9-yard TD pass to John Conner on fourth-and-1.Obviously, it escalated into something we dont need it to, but the referees did a good job in getting guys back on the sidelines and the game continued on, Smith said.Ryan Succop kicked three field goals for Tennessee, the last a 51-yarder with 2:02 left in the third quarter for an 11-10 lead.Locker was starting with rookie Zach Mettenberger out with his own sprained shoulder. He was hurt when hit by Coples late in the first half, sending him straight to the locker room holding his arm against his body. Coples also helped knock Locker out of the game the last time these teams met last season.NOTES: Johnson, the Titans third all-time leading rusher, finished with 55 yards on 10 carries. ... The Jets came in last in the NFL in red zone offence, scoring 37.8 per cent scored TDs on two trips. ...

LONDON -- Laura Robson gave her home fans something to cheer at Wimbledon on Tuesday, becoming the first British woman to defeat a top-10 player at the All England Club in 15 years when she beat 10th-seeded Maria Kirilenko 6-3, 6-4 in the first round of the grass-court tournament. The 19-year-old Robson followed in the footsteps of Sam Smith, who upset No. 7 Conchita Martinez in 1998 at Wimbledon. Robson, a former junior champion at Wimbledon, entered Court 1 with a lot of pressure on her shoulders after seven British players had lost their first-round matches. Her victory created a huge buzz on social networks, with even Britains Prime minister David Cameron taking to Twitter to comment on Robsons win, her third over a top-10 player in Grand Slam. "Great to hear (at)LauraRobson5 beat the number 10 seed Maria Kirilenko at (hashtag)Wimbledon," Cameron wrote. A couple of hours later, her compatriot Tara Moore lost 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 to Kaia Kanepi to leave Robson and Andy Murray as the only remaining Britons in singles. Amid stinging criticism from the local media, Robson jumped to the defence of her fellow players when asked what was wrong with womens tennis in Britain. "Nothing," she said. "I think everyone had tough matches. Before this week, everyone was playing really well. So its unfortunate that no one else made the second round. But that happens sometimes. Last year I lost in the first round. So, you go through stages of ups and downs like everyone else." PPlaying with Murray, Robson won silver at the London Olympics in the mixed doubles competition.dddddddddddd But she first caught the spotlight overseas last year at the U.S. Open, when she defeated Kim Clijsters in the Belgians final singles match of her career. Robson then beat Li Na to become the first British woman to reach the fourth round at any Grand Slam event since 1991. Although Kirilenko did not make a single unforced error in the first set, the 38th-ranked Robson got off to a strong start, using her big serve to keep her opponent at bay. She then had to overcome a bout of nervousness at 4-1 in the second set, when she dropped her serve for the first time following a string of unforced errors. "I think (this win) was a big one for me because although I really like grass and I seem to play well on it, Ive never actually done overly well here," Robson said after wrapping up the match with a forehand winner. "Ive only made the second round once. So, yeah, it was a big win for me. I think it was good that I managed to tough it out after I got so nervous in the second set." Robson said shell try not to get carried away, but that she believes in her chances to make a deep run in the tournament. "I think I go out against the top players with nothing to lose, and Ive always been like that," she said.
