LANDOVER, Md. cheap jerseys from china . -- Ball in hand, Danny Woodhead reached for the pylon. The officials hands went up. Touchdown -- and certain victory -- for the San Diego Chargers. Defeat for the Washington Redskins, and a place in the basement of the NFC East. Not quite. Referee Jerome Boger looked at the replay and decided the ball didnt touch the bright orange marker. The ball was placed inside the 1-yard line. First-and-goal. Twenty-one seconds remaining. The Redskins held. One run and two passes failed to move the ball. The Chargers opted to kick a short field goal to send the game into overtime, and Washington won it, 30-24, on fullback Darrel Youngs 4-yard run on the opening drive of the extra period. "First-and-1 on the goal line? Most cases thats a touchdown," Washington linebacker Brian Orakpo said. "Our defence, everybody looked in each others eyes. I could remember: Do not cross this line, this goal line. On the field, London Fletcher and everybody reiterating it to each other, like: They do not cross this line right here." The replay reversal and the goal-line stand made the difference, at least for a few more days, between relevance and season-out-to-pasture for the Redskins (3-5), who, despite their record, remain only 1 1/2 games off the pace in the weak NFC East ahead of a trip to Minnesota (1-7) on Thursday. Young was the unlikely man of the hour. He had carried the ball only twice all season and had scored only three touchdowns in his three-plus years in the NFL. On Sunday, he was the goal-line bruiser, scoring on a pair of 1-yard runs in regulation before storming his way into the end zone 6:01 into the extra period. "Theyll definitely be more aware of DY -- the three-touchdown fullback," quarterback Robert Griffin III said with a smile. Griffin completed 23 of 32 passes for 291 yards with one interception and ran six times for 17 yards. He has been far from consistent in his second NFL season, but he looked more like an RG3-style showcase player Sunday. He overcame an early interception in his own end zone and lived dangerously throughout the game, pitching the ball at the last minute on option plays and scrambling for open space, including a 10-yard ramble that ended when he was flung to the turf by Thomas Keiser. "A lot of people criticize me for some of that stuff all of the time," Griffin said. "And, you know, I couldve went out of bounds and wed have been short of the first down. I saw an opportunity to fly, so I popped out my wings and tried to fly." Griffin also found receivers when they were open -- something else thats been missing this season. Pierre Garcon had seven receptions for 172 yards, and Alfred Morris rushed 25 times for 121 yards and a score. The Chargers (4-4), trying to keep pace in the top-heavy AFC West, overcame a 10-point deficit late in regulation. There was some thought in the San Diego locker room that Woodheads touchdown should have counted. "I thought he got in," said Philip Rivers, who completed 29 of 46 passes for 341 yards with two touchdowns. "Especially when it was called on the field, I thought it was going to be a hard one to overturn." Still, the Chargers needed only 1 more yard to win, and they couldnt get it. Woodhead went nowhere on first-and-goal. A fade route for Antonio Gates on second down didnt come close, and neither did a third-down rollout throw to Keenan Allen. They then settled for overtime, tying the game on 19-yard field goal by Nick Novak with 3 seconds on the clock. "Im not questioning any of the calls," San Diego coach Mike McCoy said. "We did what we thought was best to win the football game and were moving on. ... Hey, in this business, wouldve, shouldve, couldve. If one of those three plays worked, theres no questions asked." The Chargers built a 14-7 first-half lead on special teams. They blocked two field goals -- 11 years to the day since they last blocked one -- and put two punts down at the 1-yard line. Lawrence Guy, picked up off waivers less than a month ago, blocked a field goal in the first quarter and batted a pass that caromed off Cam Thomas and into the arms of Sean Lissemore for a touchdown in the second quarter. Corey Liuget batted down back-to-back passes, then blocked a field goal on the last play of the first half. Notes: The Chargers set a franchise record by not allowing an offensive touchdown for a 12th consecutive quarter. The streak ended when Morris scored in the second quarter. ... Washingtons Santana Moss had his 700th career reception. ... The Redskins other two victories this season came against backup quarterbacks (Matt Flynn and Josh McCown). cheap jerseys . -- The Detroit Lions have signed first-round draft pick Riley Reiff. cheap jerseys from china .

Prior to the game, the Tigers will retire the No. 11 worn by Anderson, who passed away last November at the age of 76. REGINA -- The City of Regina is pushing ahead with plans for a redevelopment project that includes building a new home for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Mayor Pat Fiacco unveiled a broad, conceptual plan for the inner city, complete with flashy videos, at a news conference Tuesday. Fiacco insisted it will be a complex for sports, culture and entertainment -- not just a stadium for the Canadian Football League team. "Im sorry to those that simply want to focus on a football stadium. This isnt about the football stadium," said Fiacco. "The Saskatchewan Roughriders, I love them to death, theyre great for this city, theyre great for this province and this country, but they are a tenant." However, in order to complete the envisioned plan, the Riders would need a new home. Their current home, the aging Mosaic Stadium, would be demolished to make way for mixed-income housing. The plan calls for a facility, along with condos and commercial space, to be built on a site currently occupied by Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. CPR is moving this year and Fiacco argued the city needs to move quickly to develop that prime land near downtown Regina. Fiacco said the facility and the first phase of development on the rail lands should be ready by about 2015. The second phase, a neighbourhood with 700 residential units on the old Mosaic Stadium site, would be completed by 2020. The private sector is expected to pitch in 75 per cent of the overall development costs. The mayor did not say which private partners would be involved or what the new facility might look like. There are questions about whether it would have a retractable roof, like a proposal that the city, the province and the Roughriders put forward last year. Those plans involving the same rail site were put on hold earlier this year due to a lack of federal funding. Saskatchewan had been looking to the federal government to kick in 20 to 25 per cent of the estimated $430-million price-tag for the new facility. But Ottawa was debaating whether to support pro-sport venues. wholesale nfl jerseys. Fiacco insisted the project is different this time around and will move forward. "Were starting from scratch here, OK. Forget about what that entertainment facility looked like. Forget about all of those plans," said Fiacco. "I know people want to see a finished project immediately but that doesnt happen overnight." Fiacco also said he suspects federal funding will be made available due to the type of work being done. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall suggested the province would be at the table, but it wants more details before any money flows. "We know that if theres going to renovations at Mosaic and-or some other solution, a new outdoor or some other multi-purpose facility or a new housing project in our capital city, theres probably going to be a government involvement there," said Wall. "But weve said all along that it needs to not compete with other infrastructure demands ... and we also have said that the private sectors got to step up. So well see what happens now as a result of this proposal coming forward." There has long been talk about building a new home for the Roughriders. Mosaic Stadium, with its bench-style seating, is structurally sound but it is also one of the oldest buildings in the Canadian Football League. It was originally built as a rugby field in 1910 and has been renovated numerous times over the years. The team said in March 2010 that its getting to the point where Mosaic will no longer be usable. Roughrider board chair Roger Brandvold gushed about the new plan. "I think the idea this time around is much bigger than just a stadium. This is all about a redevelopment and opportunity to grow our commercial base, grow the downtown, grow residential and its a complete plan," said Brandvold. "Now you get the private sector involved and now you can make things happen. So this time around Im confident that were going to make this happen." ' ' '
