JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan has kept a fairly low profile around the team.He got more involved than usual after one of the most embarrassing losses in coach Gus Bradleys four-year tenure.Khan made a rare appearance in front of the team Monday night, a day after a 33-16 loss to Oakland, several people familiar with the situation said. They said Khans message was why are we not winning and what can we do to fix it? The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because details of the meeting have not been disclosed.The owners open forum allowed players and coaches to ask questions and exchange thoughts about whats gone wrong for a team that was expected to make a significant jump this season, the people said.The Jaguars (2-4) play at Tennessee (3-4) on Thursday night.Players and coaches insist what happened against Oakland was a fluke. The Jaguars had a late-game meltdown in the 33-16 loss Sunday. Receiver Marqise Lee was flagged for using a racial slur. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson was ejected after picking up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, including one for using abusive language toward an official. And cornerback Jalen Ramsey was tossed for fighting. Throw in defensive lapses, dropped passes, the teams inability to run the ball and Blake Bortles continued inaccuracy, indecision and inconsistency, and the Jaguars looked like a team on the verge of spiraling out of control.Khan noticed, and wanted to help.It was an unusual move for the billionaire owner who doesnt live in Jacksonville and hasnt been known to meddle.Nonetheless, it was the second time in less than a month he spoke to the Jags. He addressed players and coaches before their annual game in London earlier this month, pointing out that despite a 0-3 start they had a chance to show the world they trusted and believed in what was going on in Jacksonville. He asked for a repeat of Wembley, and the Jaguars delivered.They beat Indianapolis 30-27 for their second straight win across the pond.The Jags now have a chance Thursday to improve to 2-0 after Khan talks.Regardless, Khans increased presence raises questions about whether hes trying to garner information on the current coaching situation. The Jaguars are 14-40 under Bradley, the second worst winning percentage for any coach in NFL history with at least 50 games of experience. Only Bert Bell (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) fared worse, and he also was the owner.Khan has spent millions improving the game-day atmosphere in Jacksonville, working with the city to install the worlds largest scoreboards, revamp club seating and break ground on an indoor practice facility that will connect to an amphitheater.Hes spent even more to upgrade the roster, including a defensive overhaul the last two seasons that had paid small dividends. Wins remain few and far between, though.Khan said earlier this year that a winning record is everybodys reasonable expectation at this point .The Jaguars need to go 7-3 the rest of the way to make that happen, and they play four of the next five on the road.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max 270 For Sale Cheap .

Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. LAS VEGAS -- A plan to build an NFL stadium that could attract the Raiders to Las Vegas hit another milestone on Wednesday, with Gov. Brian Sandoval signaling support for the project and saying he intends to call Nevada lawmakers into a special session early next month to consider a public financing plan.The Republican governor said he spoke with Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis this week and thought Davis was committed and resolute in the teams interest in relocating to our state.Sandoval said the stadium, along with a convention center and police force expansion that were also recommended to him, were an opportunity to invest in Nevadas foundational industry of tourism.We can and must usher in a new era for tourism in the Las Vegas market, while keeping our citizens and visitors safe, and ensuring our position as the global leader in entertainment and hospitality, he said in a statement.The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee last week recommended raising hotel taxes in the Las Vegas area to help put $750 million toward a 65,000-seat stadium. Las Vegas Sands casino magnate Sheldon Adelson plans tto put $650 million toward the venue, which is projected to cost nearly $2 billion.ddddddddddddThree-quarters of NFL owners would need to approve any team relocation, and they could do so when they meet in January. Officials in Oakland, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, said theyre hopeful the team can stay in the Bay Area.You never want to see a community lose their franchise once, much less twice, Goodell said Sunday. I think we can do it in Oakland. I think theres a solution there, but it takes the community to help identify it.Meanwhile, county commissions in the Reno and Las Vegas areas plan to meet next week to fill five vacancies in the Nevada Legislature. Raising hotel taxes would require two-thirds support among the 63 state lawmakers.Sandoval said he wants to allow time for newly appointed lawmakers to review the proposal, then he plans to begin a special session no earlier than Oct. 7 and no later than Oct. 13, depending on his conversations with legislative leadership.
