JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has quite a streak going against AFC South rival Houston.Bortles has thrown a Pick-6 in three consecutive games against the Texans, tying an NFL record set by Peyton Manning.Ive got to be a better tackler, Bortles joked Wednesday.Or a better passer.Bortles has had 11 of his 50 interceptions returned for touchdowns during his three NFL seasons, a statistic that made headlines two weeks ago when his Pick-6 total surpassed his career wins (10).The Texans (7-6), who host the Jaguars (2-11) on Sunday, have been the biggest beneficiaries.Kareem Jackson returned a pick 42 yards for a touchdown in Houstons 24-21 victory in Jacksonville last month. Jackson also brought one back 27 yards for a score in Houstons 30-6 win last January. And Andre Hal started the streak by taking a 31-yarder the distance in Houstons 31-20 victory in Jacksonville in October 2015.Two of them for sure have been kind of long, out-routes to the field that were either late or I should have just gotten off of and gone to the next progression, Bortles said. I remember the last two. There was one last year on a slant that he housed at Houston and then obviously the one earlier this year are the two I remember for sure.They probably run together. After all, Bortles already has three interceptions returned for touchdowns this season. Those came in Jacksonvilles last five games.Another one Sunday in Houston and Bortles would become the first player in NFL history to throw four Pick-6s against the same team in four straight games. Manning had three returned for scores in three consecutive games against San Diego (2010-12).Thats something Ill try not to do, Bortles said. I think they do a good job. Their corners kind of jump at stuff, kind of recognizing routes and being aggressive, so I think its on me to kind of make better decisions.Bortles has completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 3,187 yards this season, with 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. His failure to match or improve on last years numbers -- he ranked second in the league with 35 TD passes -- is a big reason Jacksonville has lost eight consecutive games and fallen well short of preseason expectations.Still, the Jaguars have had chances.They have had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter in five of the last six games. They had 11 possessions in those situations, delivering six punts, three turnovers on downs, an interception and a fumble.Regardless of the losing streak and the changes that are surely coming after the season, Bortles believes theres something to be gained by playing well in the final three games -- all against division teams.One of them is going to go play in the playoffs, Bortles said. Every team wants to own the division theyre in. So thats definitely still our goal and we got a chance to go play these three guys. I dont think spoiler is the right word to use. I think you want to more so get the chance to say, `How are we against one of these playoff teams and stack up?You really dont want to talk about it or think about it, but lets build something going into the offseason for next year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Swell Wood Bottle Sale .

SAN DIEGO -- Manti Teo is one of four draft picks whove signed contracts with the San Diego Chargers. Teo, the linebacker from Notre Dame, was picked by the Chargers in the second round after slipping out of the opening round in part because of a poor performance in the national championship game against Alabama. Teo also was part of a girlfriend hoax that drew national headlines. But the Chargers new brain trust, general manager Tom Telesco and coach Mike McCoy, said they werent bothered by the scrutiny Teo has been under the last four months. The Chargers even traded up in the second round to pick the linebacker. Also signing four-year deals Thursday were third-round pick Keenan Allen, a wide receiver from California; sixth-rounder Tourek Williams, an outside linebacker from Florida International; and quarterback Brad Sorensen, a seventh-rounder from Southern Utah. First-round pick D.J. Fluker, a tackle from Alabama, and fifth-rounder Steve Williams, a cornerback from Cal, remain unsigned. Teo became the butt of national jokes after it was revealed he was dduped into an Internet romance with a girlfriend he never met.dddddddddddd The too-good-to-be-true story began with Teos incredible performances after learning his grandmother and what he believed was his girlfriend had died within hours of one another in September. Teo said it inspired him to play his best football all season, and it was so compelling that it helped turn Teo into a Heisman Trophy contender as he was leading the Fighting Irish to an undefeated regular season and into the national title game. On Dec. 26, Teo notified Notre Dame officials that he had received a call from his supposedly dead girlfriends phone three weeks earlier. The school investigated and -- after Deadspin.com broke the story of the fake girlfriend -- athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced at a news conference that Teo had been duped. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, 22, later said he created the online persona of Lennay Kekua, a nonexistent woman who Teo said he fell in love with despite never meeting her in person.
