Wholesale NHL Jerseys Authentic .Sunday he looked like a rookie, though, and Denver walked away with its first loss of the season along with the sobering realization that the quarterback they need now is Trevor Siemian.Siemian sat out of Denvers 23-16 loss to Atlanta with a sore left shoulder he received after being hurled to the ground last week against Tampa Bay. Against Atlanta, Lynch made his first NFL start and went 23 for 35 for 223 yards, but also took six sacks. He looked every bit like an indecisive rookie and not much like he did in his relief appearance last week against the Bucs.Obviously, you have some butterflies, Lynch said. Its my first NFL start, its not a preseason game and your teams 4-0.Given all that, not even a week to prepare for a team that turned out to be much better than the Bucs was enough. Lynch looked like the rookie who couldnt come close to winning the job in the offseason, after John Elway traded up five places to pick him in the 26th spot.He had a really good week of practice, coach Gary Kubiak said. We felt really good about him going into the game.The way Denvers defense had been playing, why not?By sweeping their first four games with Siemian as the starter, the Broncos dismissed all those who doubted a repeat was possible with an offense that had to reinvent itself following the departure of Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler.Its a delicate balance, and the defense helped validate Kubiaks decision to start Siemian, the seventh-round pick out of Northwestern in 2015, over Lynch and Mark Sanchez, who didnt even make the team after being acquired in the offseason.Turned out, Siemian wasnt simply holding down the spot. He turned out to be quite good, with six touchdown passes and a 99.6 passer rating.One debate that gained steam in Denver last week -- now almost laughable -- was what to do with this abundance of riches. Lynch threw for 170 yards and a TD last week and helped the Broncos pull away from Tampa Bay. How long could Siemian possibly remain a Bronco, given the rookies all-but-inevitable elevation to the starting position?Save that one for later.Kubiak said Siemian practiced all week and was very close to getting the start for this game. We just didnt think he was ready, the coach said.Unsaid in all that is that Denvers next game is Thursday at San Diego, and by sitting out against the Falcons, the hope is that Siemian might be healthy enough to start again.After the Atlanta game, that plan takes on a greater sense of urgency.Indecisive in picking out receivers, Lynch held the ball too long and took six sacks, along with eight more hits.But this wasnt all his fault.For Siemians four starts, the defense created eight turnovers, many of which either went for touchdowns or put the offense in good field position. The defense kept Denver in the lead or within a score for the majority of the first quarter of the season.For Lynchs first start, the defense promptly gave up a 75-yard touchdown drive and the Broncos trailed 7-0 less than 4 minutes into the game.Theyre a team that plays a lot of ... zone, and you have to be very patient, Kubiak said. You get down 13 to them and you cant just pick away to get yourself back in the game. You start pulling down and getting it downfield too much, its tough.Lynch doesnt know when his next start will come. One thing seemed clear after this one: Denvers quarterback of the future is just that. When healthy again, Siemian will be the starter.Im upset, obviously, because we lost, but Im happy I got the first one under my belt, Lynch said. If we get put in this situation again, Ill play better than I did the first time.

I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue.

Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. WASHINGTON -- The Pittsburgh Pirates werent in the mood to celebrate after Andrew McCutchen hit two home runs in a 6-5 win over Washington. The victory, accomplished Monday night against the skidding Nationals, was meaningless in comparison to the ramifications that could come from a ninth-inning pitch thrown by All-Star closer Jason Grilli. After the pitch, the right-hander left with forearm tightness -- leaving his manager and teammates somberly hoping for the best. "Its never good to see somebody in pain, let alone your All-Star closer," starting pitcher Charlie Morton said. Grilli entered in the ninth and gave up a two-run homer to Jayson Werth before leaving with an apparent arm injury after getting two outs. "Pretty much he threw the ball, and his reaction was, he just grimaced a little bit," Pirates catcher Russell Martin said. "It seemed like he was in a little bit of pain. It just looked like his forearm was bugging him. A definite blow. Hopefully its not as severe as it can be and is just something minor." Grilli was not made available to the media after the game. Manager Clint Hurdle tried to remain upbeat, saying, "Well wait and see where Grillis situation goes. Right now its right forearm discomfort. Were going to wait and see how he feels (Tuesday)." Asked what the Pirates would do if Grilli was lost for an extended period, Hurdle snapped, "And what if hes not? Our roster is going to be fine." It was a disappointing ending to a night that started so well. McCutchen connected in the first inning and again in the third to stake the Pirates to a 4-0 lead. The All-Star centre fielder has five homers in his last six games and 14 for the season. Both homers came off Dan Haren (4-11), whos 0-8 in 11 starts since May 9. McCutchen is 18 for 35 with five homers and 12 RBIs in his last nine games at Nationals Park. "Every player always has a ballpark he seems to hit at better than other places," he said. "I guess mine happens to be here." Although he went hitless in his final three at-bats, McCutchen is hitting .431 with 13 home runs and 26 RBIs in 27 career games against Washington. Morton (2-2) gave up three runs, six hits and a walk in 6 2-3 innings to earn his first win in five starts. He was lifted after yielding a two-run homer to Werth. "When you get later in the game, especially if youre pitching well -- which I was -- you like to finish off the outing on a strong nnote," Morton said.

But he got the Pirates in position for the win, and after Grilli departed, Vin Mazzaro retired Steve Lombardozzi on a grounder with a runner on second to earn his first career save. Werths two homers gave him four in two games. Adam LaRoche also connected for the Nationals, who have lost four straight and nine of 11 to fall three games under .500 (48-51) for the first time this season. "Theres a lot of character on this ballclub, theres no quit, theres a lot of fight," manager Davey Johnson said. "By and large everybody swung the bat pretty good." Before the game, general manager Mike Rizzo fired hitting coach Rick Eckstein in an effort to shake up a lacklustreoffence that ranked 27th in batting average and tied for 28th in runs scored. The Nationals failed to get the ball out of the infield until the fifth inning, hit into three double plays and went 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position. But at least they scored five runs, which matched their total for the previous three games. "Thats really the first time weve had something going in a while," Werth said. "It was a good feeling. Hopefully we can get the job done next time and build on that." Ecksteins replacement, Rick Schu, is expected to join the team Tuesday. The Pirates took the lead for good after three batters went to the plate. Jordy Mercer drew a one-out walk and McCutchen followed with a drive into the right-field bleachers. In the third, Haren hit Starling Marte with a pitch and McCutchen homered on a 2-1 pitch. In the fourth, Pittsburgh used a run-scoring groundout by Gaby Sanchez to make it 5-0. LaRoches 14th home run leading off the fifth was Washingtons first hit, and Werth connected with LaRoche at first base with a man on in the seventh. Pittsburgh made it 6-3 in the eighth, scoring a run on a wild pitch by Drew Storen. NOTES: Pirates 2B Neil Walker (strained oblique) joined the team Monday after playing three games with Triple-A Indianapolis. Hurdle said Walker will be activated off the disabled list on Tuesday "If he shows us hes good to move around." ... Nationals starting pitchers have one win in the last 11 games. ... Pittsburghs Clint Barmes played in his 1,000th career game. ... The Pirates have eight homers in their last four games. ... Pittsburgh went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
