Meister der Farbe » Napier out of the ground, and pulled

LANDOVER, Md. -- Losers of two in a row, the Green Bay Packers had no trouble sharpening their focus on the Washington Redskins when they met in the playoffs in January.Its their intent to do that again to pull out of this tailspin before its too late.The Packers (4-5) return to the scene of their NFC wild-card win Sunday night hoping that facing the Redskins (5-3-1) can turn their fortunes around after a three-game skid.This game is important because its the game this week, so thats what were focused on: beating the Redskins, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said.We clearly understand where we are in our season and understand how weve played the last couple games, so its about improving each and every week.Another loss would make the Packers path to an eighth consecutive playoff appearance more difficult. But the margin of error is also small for the Redskins, who could fall to last place in the NFC East with a loss and a win by the Philadelphia Eagles.While Washingtons position is more comfortable than Green Bays, coach Jay Gruden said the Packers are not far away from being the Packers that we know.Injuries havent helped, but the mere presence of two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers makes them formidable.The fact that the Packers have lost a couple of games here really is irrelevant when you have him as the quarterback and some of the other great players that they have on defense, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said.You realize youve got to come ready to go because theyre going to be hungry and theyre going to be ready.The Redskins are seemingly better than they were when they lost 35-18 on Jan. 10. Cornerback Josh Norman gives the defense a different look, and undrafted rookie Robert Kelley has shown evidence that he can be a capable starting running back.A similar scheme that they ran last year, theyre just doing a little bit better I think, Rodgers said. You have some guys who maybe werent big contributors last year who are kind of stepping up and being more of an impact player this year.Some things to watch when the Packers visit the Redskins:SACKS IN BUNCHES: One reason things fell apart for the Redskins in the playoff game was that their initial pass rush on Rodgers was neutralized by Green Bays running game. Washington has three sacks in five consecutive games, including two big ones by Preston Smith in a victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Its a lot of guys trying to find ways to get to the quarterback, Smith said. And of course its a competition to see who can get more sacks by the end of the year. Maintaining a consistent pass rush was a goal from training camp, and this is another major test.RUN IT OUT: In the span of a few days, Christine Michael went from being the leading rusher for Seattle, to Seahawks outcast, to potential backfield savior for the Packers. Green Bay has only three rushing touchdowns this season, all from Rodgers. McCarthy wants to balance the offense, which has been pass-heavy since Eddie Lacy went down with an ankle injury. Any semblance of a consistent running game will help the Packers extend drives, which could in turn rest a defense that has been on its heels the past few weeks.OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD: Norman relishes matchups against not only top receivers but top quarterbacks, and on a conference call Wednesday he referred to Rodgers as a wizard. Rodgers has Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson as targets, and Norman is eager for the challenge. Facing definitely a cerebral assassin in that guy over there, he said of Rodgers. I know how he works, so Im looking forward to it.STARTING STRONG: Fast starts used to be a Green Bay specialty. Lately, the Packers have been falling behind early. Last week, DeMarco Murray had a 75-yard touchdown run on Tennessees first play from scrimmage. The previous week, the Colts ran the opening kickoff back 99 yards for a score. The poor starts left the Packers scrambling in both games, with the offense forced to get away from the run. The Packers need to avoid another slow start. They also need to avoid the momentum-sapping late scores that have also plagued them near the end of second quarters of recent games.---AP Sports Writer Genaro Armas in Green Bay, Wisconsin, contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLUltra Boost 3.0 Scontate .

Glamorgan, who had already booked their spot, can look forward to a home game after finishing second behind Gloucestershire.Ingram, who clouted 107 in Glamorgans Royal London Cup defeat on Tuesday, hit seven sixes and six fours in his 56-ball 101. His hitting was so ferocious at the death that his second fifty came off just 17 balls and included five of the sixes.It was not a chanceless innings. The South African lefthander survived on two occasions - when 24 and 57 - with James Foster missing a stumping down legside off Dan Lawrence, and Lawrence himself spilling an up-and-under at long-off.But torrential rain fell almost before the players had left the field after the Glamorgan innings and had soon left puddles around the edges of the covers.

When he was finally out in the 10th over, bowled trying to reverse-sweep Lawrence, he had contributed 11 runs off 17 balls.Ingram, though, was not hanging around and hit Graham Napier out of the ground, and pulled Ravi Bopara for a second six. He reached his fifty off 38 balls.Aneurin Donald tried to follow Ingrams lead when he hit Ryan ten Doeschate high and long to cow corner where Bopara took the catch on his knees. Jacques Rudolph launched Lawrence over long-off for six, but was dropped on 24 at point by Jesse Ryder.Ingrams second escape proved costly as he took 15 off a Napier over, including a pulled six, before landing another over long-off from Quinn in the over that followed.Rudolph had put on 71 with Ingram for the fourth wicket in six and a half overs before he teed one up for Napier to pouch backward of square for 28.And Ingram went in the last over, the ball after he had reached a 55-ball century with a straight six and a four through the covers from successive balls. He flashed again at Napier and was bowled. ' ' '
