Wales will be the happier of the two states with several young

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Cleveland quarterback Cody Kessler stood at the podium talking about the best game of his very short NFL career and started tearing up.Its been an emotional couple of weeks for the rookie.Kesslers younger brother wound up hospitalized with a racing heartbeat days before the quarterback was knocked out of last weeks 33-13 loss to the New England Patriots with an injured chest . Then Kessler learned his great-grandmother had died, a woman he considered a second mother.The third-round pick out of Southern California got a break Sunday on the football field where he threw for a career-high 336 yards in his fourth start, nearly rallying the Browns before losing 28-26 to the Tennessee Titans.Kessler became only the third Browns rookie to throw for at least 300 yards, second only to Brandon Weedens 364 yards passing Dec. 2, 2012, at Oakland.Tennessee sacked Kessler six times and hit him five other times, but Kessler never flinched as he kept trying to rally the winless Browns (0-6).Unless they force me to stay out like they did last week, Im not coming out, Kessler said. It was a little painful, but at the same time you want to do it for the guys as well. Its not for myself, its for the guys around me.Talking to reporters after the game, Kessler said he couldnt come out of a game, not with his brother, Dylan, dealing with a heart condition that hospitalized him before the Patriots game.The condition will keep his brother from playing high school football or much of anything for two months and hell be wearing a heart monitor.Kesslers great-grandmother died a week ago, a woman he was so close with that the quarterback considered her as another mother.Its stuff that you cant control and youve just got to move on, Kessler said as he choked up and then walked out of the interview room.The Browns are off to their worst start since 1999 when they lost their first seven as an expansion franchise. Kessler, their third quarterback to start and among five to play already, gave them a chance late at an improbable rally.He threw two touchdown passes to Terrelle Pryor Sr., the second with 2:07 left, before guiding a nine-play drive for another TD that set up a second onside kick.Hes battling his butt off out there, Browns left tackle Joe Thomas said. There were a couple times where he took some really big hits scrambling on fourth down trying to make plays and youre thinking, `Wow, he wont be able to get up from that, and (he) pops right back up and gets right back in the huddle like nothing happened. And thats really admirable.Kessler had a 105.3 passer rating while driving the Browns on a 75-yard drive and a 62-yard drive to rally Cleveland after trailing 28-13. Kessler also threw incomplete under pressure on a 2-point conversion.Still, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson said the rookie played hard.He gave us a chance to win, to be in the game, Jackson said.Pryor made it clear he loves playing with Kessler and the rookies passion, especially with all the hits the quarterback took.Hes a warrior, Pryor said. Thats what pushes us all. I took a little hit as well and it makes you just keep pushing. He was getting creamed, man, and he just got up and kept fighting. The kid has unbelievable heart. Im a big fan of his.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M. Walker at www.twitter.com/teresamwalker Cheap Coyotes Jerseys .

Plenty to be optimistic about for New South Wales but like game one and two, the Blues failed to take their chances.The Blues new brigade, particularly the likes of Tyson Frizell, James Tedesco, Wade Graham and Jack Bird, look ready to take New South Wales into a successful new era.Queensland were again great but have we just witnessed the beginning of the end for this mighty Maroons outfit? In years past, the Maroons wouldnt have given up a lead with so little time left on the clock and New South Wales wouldve struggled to find a winning play.Maybe the tide is starting to turn...bring on the 2017 Origin series.Key Moments - ? 5th min - NSW turnover ball and Greg Inglis scores in ensuing set of six. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 28th min - Tyson Frizell try gives NSW a 6-4 lead.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 31st min - Cooper Cronk sent to sin-bin for repeated infringements.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 31st min to 41st min - NSW fail to capitalise on the numerical advantage.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Halftime - NSW lead penalty count 9-1 but only lead 6-4 on the scoreboard.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 42nd min - Andrew Fifita makes it 12-4 just 25 seconds after Cronk returns to field.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 52nd min - Gavin Cooper try on debut for Queensland.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 52nd min - Fifita brain explosion after try being score lands him in sin-bin for 10 minutes.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??? 75th min - A dreadful error from Josh Mansour gifts Darius Boyd a try and Queensland a lead.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??? 79th min - Michael Jennings helps NSW snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with a late try.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ????80th min - Paul Gallen ends his Origin career with the final conversion in a dramatic 18-14 Blues win.The Difference -As was the case in all three games - there was a split hair between the two teams. Both teams could make a sstrong case for saying they couldve won the series with a whitewash but fact remains Queensland retain the shield for another year.dddddddddddd.New South Wales come away empty handed but have gained a lot from this series and maybe, just maybe, the new breed could be about to swing the momentum in favour of the Blues for the coming years.Telling tactics -Queenslands pet play has always been to attack down their left side and it worked a treat again in Origin III but unlike the Maroons of the past they conceded a late-try to lose in dramatic circumstances.New South Wales not only won the match but have won a great deal of confidence and belief. It is a fitting way to send Paul Gallen out but the Blues look to be in good hands with a talented and brave new generation of stars ready to take up the fight.?Debutants displays -The debutants from both sides will be pleased with their efforts but New South Wales will be the happier of the two states with several young stars having a taste of Origin and a rare taste of a Blues Origin win.James Tedesco looks to have a mortgage on the Blues No.1 jersey, Tyson Frizell also looks to be built for the Origin cauldron and Gavin Cooper also put in a strong performance and didnt look out of place in Queensland colours.Where to now -NSW - Until game three, the Blues wouldve been concerned about the future but its amazing what a victory can bring. Laurie Daley has lost the series but his investment in the future could pay huge dividends in the long run.Queensland - Mission accomplished despite defeat in game three. The Maroons will celebrate another series win but how much doubt will this defeat leave in the minds of their aging superstars? Only time will tell but it would be stupid to write-off the Queensland champions. ' ' '
