WASHINGTON - Hard to believe that the Washington Redskins, who havent beaten anyone other than the Jacksonville Jaguars in the last 326 days, could be overconfident about anything. But thats the malady that first-year coach Jay Gruden sensed during a 45-14 prime-time embarrassment against the New York Giants. Sometimes you need a beating like this to let people know that you have a lot of work to do, Gruden said Friday. Reality check has come in, in full force. The Redskins were banged up on both sides of the ball and were playing on a short week a€” which would seem to quash any notion of complacency a€” yet Gruden said his players were perhaps feeling too good about themselves following a 31-point win over the woeful Jaguars in Week 2 and a close-call loss to the unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Im hoping this is a wake-up call, a slap in the face, that, Hey youre not as good as you think you are, Gruden said. You have a lot more work to do than you think you do. ... We cant just put our uniform on and jog onto the field, act like were going to beat peoples butt without working. We have a work a little bit harder. The Redskins were simply manhandled by the Giants on Thursday night. Kirk Cousins committed five turnovers and fell to 1-5 as a starter, giving the kind of performance that will quickly end any conversation about a quarterback controversy when Robert Griffin III is healthy again. Gruden said his defence posed no physical threat to New Yorks offence, allowing Eli Manning to get rid of the ball quickly because the receivers were running with barely a hindrance. Its called bump and run for a reason, said Gruden, putting a particular emphasis on the word bump. Gruden said pass-rushers Jason Hatcher (hamstring) and Brian Orakpo (finger) were hindered by injuries, but they probably wouldnt have made much of an impact if healthy because Manning was releasing the ball so quickly. The roughest night of all, however, belonged to Cousins. The Giants defensive backs said he was telegraphing some of his throws, and Gruden agreed. Hes a young guy playing a position, and young guys playing that position at this level tend to make mistakes from time to time, Gruden said. Weve just got to make sure he sees his throws a little bit better, and his eyes are in the right spot. Theres a couple of them where he stared down the receiver, and the safety came over and made an easy pick. Gruden added that Cousins wasnt getting much help. Were not going to hold Kirks head under the water right now, the coach said. Were going to keep him composed and getting better, and hes going to be fine next week. The Redskins also committed 11 penalties a€” double-digits for the third straight week. Gruden said his team isnt talented enough to overcome such mistakes. Were going to have a lot of close games, he said. We dont have the personnel right now to line up and beat anybody handily. The schedule only gets tougher. Theres a long wait before a Monday night game against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 6, followed by a long trip to face the Arizona Cardinals. The extra time will help heal the injuries; Gruden and his staff will work on the psychological part. Weve got to get our bodies healthy, weve got to get our minds healthy, and weve got to make sure our commitments in the right spot, Gruden said. We can still do a lot of damage and still achieve all our goals. Kepa Arrizabalaga Jersey .

Right-hander Ricky Nolasco and the Twins agreed to terms on a free-agent contract Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.ORLANDO, Fla. - The limited success the Philadelphia 76ers have experienced this season has all been on the road.That continues to be the case.Michael Carter-Williams scored 21 points as the Sixers opened a seven-game road trip with a 96-88 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night.The win ended a five-game losing streak. All three of their victories this season have come away from home.Its always great to win, but when you dont win that much, its even better, Carter-Williams said. Im not sure what it is. When were struggling on the road, its a little easier for us to come back together because everyone is against us. All we have is each other.Philadelphia trailed by 11 in the third quarter, but led by as many as 14 points in the fourth.The Sixers also got a lift from their bench, which outscored the Magic reserves 37-20.Victor Oladipo had 23 points for the Magic. Nik Vucevic finished with 19 points and 17 rebounds, and Tobias Harris added 17 points.The Magic have lost four straight and six of their last seven.Orlando looked to be in control as it inched out to its double-digit lead. But the Sixers closed the third quarter on a 22-7 spurt, and took a four-point lead into the final period.Philadelphia kept that momentum going, scoring seven straight to open the fourth.Orlando tried to stage its own late rally, but was thwarted by late turnovers.Magic coach Jacque Vaughn tinkered with his starting lineup Sunday, inserting rookie Elfrid Payton at point guard and Kyle OQuinn at power forward.The move meant Oladipo shifted over to shooting guard, marking the first time he and Payton had started together in Orlandos backcourt this season. It also meant that off-season acquisitions Channing Frye and Evan Fournier — whho entered the night averaging 14 points per game — were sent to the bench to anchor the second unit.ddddddddddddResults were mixed, but there was briefly a tangible effect on the defensive end for Orlando.OQuinn was the most active early, blocking three shots in the first half and being generally disruptive to the Sixers in the halfcourt with a handful of deflections.Vucevic said its all a work in progress.I think defensively, its not really about a lineup, Vucevic said. Its about us talking, being vocal, and following the game plan we have.Philadelphia was held to just 5 of 19 from the field in second quarter and shot only 42 per cent for the night.It turned out to be enough, with all nine of the Sixers available players scoring at least five points.There was a brief verbal spat at one point during a timeout between Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel, but coach Brett Brown said he liked how they were able to work it out among themselves.Its teammates talking to teammates. Its real, Brown said. It proved to be a real healthy conversation so I let it go ... Its not like they just met each other and have issues. Its healthy issues, its real, thats what families go through. It aint always pretty. They talked it through and off we go.___TIP-INSMagic: The starting lineup Sunday was Orlandos eighth different one of the season. ...
