FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have a brand new quarterback issue.Jimmy Garoppolo had three touchdown passes before leaving in the second quarter with a right shoulder injury as the New England Patriots outlasted the Miami Dolphins 31-24 on Sunday.It was the Patriots eighth straight home victory over Miami (0-2). It came at a price as New England (2-0) was dealt another blow at quarterback with Tom Brady already out his four-game Deflategate suspension.Garoppolos injury came on third down with less than five minutes left in the first half. He was chased out of the pocket and got off a completion to Malcolm Mitchell and driven into the ground on his shoulder by Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso.Garoppolo initially got up, before going down to one knee and being attended to by the training staff. He ended his day 18 of 27 for 234 yards and the three scores.Patriots coach Bill Belichick, never one to reveal much information, said of Garoppolos injury: I dont know yet. So well take it day by day.Garoppolo was replaced by rookie Jacoby Brissett, who led New England to a touchdown on its first possession of the second half. Brissett was 6 of 9 for 92 yards. LeGarrette Blount rushed 29 times for 123 yards and a touchdown. Martellus Bennett also had five catches 114 and a touchdown.The Dolphins, who beat the Patriots in Miami in last seasons finale, had no answers for New Englands offense early and fell into a 24-0 hole as they were stymied by three turnovers. Ryan Tannehill finally found some traction and trimmed a 31-3 deficit to 31-24 with 6:06 to play.Tannehill didnt complete a pass until the second quarter as the Patriots defensive line pressured him into quick throws. The pressure culminated with Tannehill being intercepted by linebacker Jamie Collins late in the first half.QUOTABLE:Patriots WR Julian Edelman on losing Garoppolo: This game is a 100 percent injury rate. Its football and everyones just gotta do their job a little bit better.Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill on the slow offensive start: We couldnt get anything going. We kept putting our defense back on the field after long drives. Its tough on the defense. ... We need to get points on the board early -- and give our defense a break.COMEBACK DOLPHINS: Tannehill found Kenny Stills for a 24-yard touchdown in the third quarter and connected with Jordan Cameron for a 12-yard score in the fourth. Kenyan Drake also had a 7-yard touchdown run as Miami closed the gap. Tannehill completed 20 of his first 21 passes to begin the second half.The usually reliable Stephen Gostkowski missed a 39-yard field goal with 1:08 to play. But Duron Harmon intercepted Tannehills pass in the back of the end zone with 2 seconds remaining. Tannehill finished 32 of 45 for 389 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.We were in a tough situation, Tannehill said. At that point, you can go one of two ways. You can either pack it up for the day, or battle. And those guys battled. Thats what you want to see.QUICK START: Garoppolo had touchdown passes on each of the Patriots first three drives to build a 21-0 lead.He had four completions of over 10 yards on the opening drive, capping it with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola. New Englands second drive mirrored the first with Garoppolo finding Chris Hogan for gains of 19 and 24 yards. The series ended with a 20-yard scoring strike to Bennett .NO GRONK: Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) was inactive for the second consecutive game. But New England made do without him. Garoppolo completed passes to seven receivers before his injury, including six completions to Julian Edelman.Bennett, primarily used as a blocker in last weeks win at Arizona, had an early 26-yard reception to go with his 20-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter.HIGH RISER: Blount was active on the ground to help take pressure off both Garoppolo and Brissett. He brought the Gillette Stadium crowd to its feet during his 26-yard turn in the fourth quarter, which ended with him hurdling cornerback Byron Maxwell.INJURIES: Miami RB Arian Foster left with a groin injury in the second quarter and did not return. Linebacker Spencer Paysinger also left the game with a neck injury.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL NMD Outlet .

Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Atlanta Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur estimated that 90 percent of Major League Baseball players are in favor of stronger penalties for performance-enhancing drug use. He also said changes to the games drug testing agreement might be necessary as a disincentive to players who are cheating the system.The system is flawed, Francoeur told Buster Olney on ESPNs Baseball Tonight podcast Thursday. Theres no other way around it. Guys get docked 80 games (pay) or whatever it is. Yeah, thats a lot of money. But if you sign a $60 million deal and youre losing maybe $5 million, its worth it for a lot of these guys. It stinks because there are buddies of mine who were basically battling these guys for jobs. Its just unfair.I know a lot of guys that have been busted, and theyre good people. I like them a lot. But at the end of the day, theyre cheating the system.Francoeur, a 12-year veteran with the Braves and six other teams, joins pitchers Justin Verlander and Jeremy Guthrie as the latest big leaguer to speak out against PED use and advocate for potential changes to the penalty phase. MLBs joint drug testing program calls for an 80-game ban for a first-time violation, a 162-game suspension for a second offense and a lifetime ban for a third offense.Since January, 57 players have been suspended under baseballs minor league drug agreement, and an additional 12 have been banned under the major league portion. The 12 suspended big leaguers in 2016 are Cincinnatis Juan Duran, the New York Mets Jenrry Mejia, Clevelands Abraham Almonte and Marlon Byrd, Philadelphias Daniel Stumpf and Alec Asher, Torontos Chris Colabello, Miamis Dee Gordon, the Los Angeles Dodgers Josh Ravin, Kansas Citys Raul Mondesi, Seattles Boog Powell and free agent Taylor Teagarden.Gordon, the 2015 National League batting champion, received an 80-game suspension in late April after testing positivee for the performance-enhancing substances exogenous testosterone and clostebol.dddddddddddd He failed a test in spring training only weeks after signing a five-year, $50 million contract extension with the Marlins.Although Francoeur declined to speculate on the possibility of baseball voiding contracts for players who test positive for PEDs, he expects drug testing to be a significant topic of conversation when MLB and the Players Association pick up the pace on labor talks after the All-Star break. The existing labor agreement expires Dec. 1.Its tough, because the union doesnt want to give the commissioners office all this power, Francoeur said. I completely understand that. But at the same time, the Players Association needs to understand the players want stiffer penalties.We stand our ground on a lot of issues, whether its arbitration or free-agency rights. We fight hard for that as a union. But youre probably looking at 90 percent of players that want stiffer penalties on PEDs. I think we have to start listening to the majority of the players, and not the other way around.In recent months, Colabello, Stumpf and Powell are among the players who have responded to PED suspensions with statements that they took banned substances unknowingly. Francoeur said MLB has made enough resources available to players in recent years that ignorance cant be used as an excuse for failure to pass a drug test.For me, the only thing Ill drink is the protein shakes that MLB gives us, Francoeur said. They tell us in spring training, Dont take it if its not certified. If you go to GNC and get some bogus stuff, how stupid can you be? Thats your own fault. (I hear players say), I dont know how this got in me. Well, watch what you put in your body. ' ' '
