SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Chargers got off to a dynamite start under new coach Mike McCoy. The Houston Texans showed them how to finish. Randy Bullock kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired, and the Texans rallied from a 21-point deficit in the second half for a 31-28 victory over the Chargers on Monday night. Brian Cushing returned an interception 18 yards for the tying touchdown with 9:30 to play for the Texans, who roared back from a 28-7 deficit late in the third quarter to spoil the debut of McCoy, the offensive guru hired to revitalize a stagnant franchise. Matt Schaub threw a tipped interception on Houstons first play of the season, but recovered to pass for 346 yards and three TDs. He calmly engineered the final 36-yard drive to set up Bullock, who coolly nailed his NFL field goal. Philip Rivers threw four touchdown passes as the Chargers gave their fans a tantalizing start under McCoy. They also got an agonizing reminder of last season under fired coach Norv Turner, when San Diego blew five halftime leads. Owen Daniels caught two TD passes and Garrett Graham had another for the Texans in the final game of the NFLs opening weekend. While the Chargers showed promise, the Texans began a season of Super Bowl aspirations with a gritty comeback befitting a defending two-time AFC South champion club that got off to an 11-1 start last season. Ryan Mathews caught a 14-yard TD pass on San Diegos first snap, while Eddie Royal made two TD catches and Vincent Brown had another for the Chargers during an auspicious start in the first three quarters for McCoy. He was hired away from division rival Denver to jump-start a team that has missed the playoffs for three straight years. San Diego led 7-0 just 15 seconds into the season, thanks to an interception on Houstons first play and Rivers TD pass on the Chargers first snap. San Diego had a 14-point halftime lead and stretched it to 28-7 early in the third quarter, but Houstons offence finally clicked decisively. San Diego managed just 90 yards in the second half, and the turnover-prone Rivers made yet another big mistake late in an otherwise solid game. Cushing came up big in his first game since missing most of last season with a knee injury and then signing a six-year, $55.6 million extension last week. Rivers under-pressure throw was snagged by Cushing, who got up from his diving catch and rumbled into the end zone. After both teams punted, Schaub got the Texans in position for Bullock, a fifth-round draft pick last year who missed all of his first season with a groin injury. The Chargers fired Turner and general manager A.J. Smith after their first losing season since 2003. In the seasons lowlight, San Diego blew a 24-0 halftime lead in its last Monday night game against McCoys Broncos last October. In front of a Qualcomm Stadium crowd that bought just enough tickets to avoid a local television blackout, McCoys tenure got off to a spectacular start on the first two snaps from scrimmage. Schaubs first pass was tipped into the air by Jarret Johnson, and 330-pound defensive tackle Cam Thomas gathered it in. The San Diego crowd was still cheering when Rivers threw down the Houston sideline to Mathews, who dived in for a score. Although Houston tied it later in the first quarter on Daniels first TD catch, San Diegos defence mostly corralled Schaub and running back Arian Foster. Rivers hit Royal from 6 yards early in the second quarter, and he set up Brown to make an outstanding play with 26 seconds left in the half. Brown, who missed last season with an ankle injury, dived at the corner of the end zone with the ball in both arms, barely clipping the pylon as Johnathan Joseph pushed him out of bounds. Rivers went right back to work after halftime, moving the Chargers 80 yards for a short scoring pass to Royal. Houston responded with a long drive capped by Grahams TD catch. Houston got another boost early in the fourth quarter when Thomas got a 10-yard penalty during a field-goal attempt for unnecessary roughness against Houstons centre, giving a first down to the Texans on a new rule for this season. Daniels caught his second TD pass on the next play from 9 yards on the next snap, cutting San Diegos lead to seven points with 14:44 to play. The Texans then successfully faked a punt with 12 minutes left, converting a fourth-and-1. Although Houston had to punt three plays later, Cushing made his tying interception on San Diegos next offensive snap. Antonio Senzatela Jersey .

Chris Rusin Jersey . -- The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Graham Harrell to the active roster from the practice squad and placed tight end Andrew Quarless on injured reserve. Chris Iannetta Jersey .Y. - His opponent couldnt stop him, and LeBron James didnt quite know what to think when his coach tried.The New Jersey Devils added a veteran scoring winger who has trouble staying healthy, but is coming off a terrific season. Numbers Game looks at the Devils signing Mike Cammalleri. The Devils Get: LW Mike Cammalleri. Cammalleri, 32, has been a productive goal-scorer, topping 20 goals six times in his career, but hes also had a hard time staying healthy, missing at least 15 games in four of the past five seasons. However, if a team understands that injuries are likely to be part of the package, they can also understand that a healthy Cammalleri has not only has he been able to score, but last season he was really effective as an all-around player, putting up strong relative possession numbers despite facing high-quality opposition and starting more of his shifts in the defensive zone. Those relative possession stats were dramatically better than previous seasons, so that doesnt necessarily mean thats his standard level, but its some evidence that Cammalleri is more than just a triggerman. Hes joining a Devils team that already puts up strong possession numbers, but has been unable to finish enough. For whatever it might be worth, Cammalleri is also 7-for-20 (35.0%) in shootouts over the past five years, and while thats a little above average, its miles ahead of what the Devils mustered as a team last year, when they were 4-for-51 (7.8%) in losing all 13 shootout decisions. While Cammalleri plays frequently on tthe wing, hes also played centre -- took the second-most draws on the Flames in 2012-2013 -- and that could be useful for the Devils, who are going to have to mix and match some pieces up front, but have enough to put together three pretty solid lines.dddddddddddd Adding a goal-scorer certainly addresses the Devils needs. They ranked 27th in the league with 2.40 goals per game last season, so adding a proven finisher is worthwhile. The trouble, as it often seems to be with the Devils, is that the term is steep for a 32-year-old. Maybe five years and $25-million is the going rate for what Cammalleri provides, but its hard to envision the Devils getting a positive return on investment when Cammalleri is 35 and 36-years-old. Sure, New Jersey has been getting great production from Jaromir Jagr and Patrik Elias, who are well beyond that age but, among 32 forwards who were at least 35-years-old last season, five managed to score more than 20 goals. The Flames will miss Cammalleri. They added Mason Raymond as a free agent, and Raymonds speed is an asset, but hes not the same kind of offensive threat that Cammalleri is, so its hard to expect that the Flames will thrive offensively without their third-leading scorer from last season.
