- 3 short of the single-game franchise record for quarterbacks he set last season.Taylors 49-yard run was the longest by a quart Antworten

As fully loaded as Sundays SummerSlam card is on paper, its difficult to pinpoint one matchup that stands out above the rest as the no-brainer to headline.In this case, thats a good problem for the WWE to have, considering just how deep the roster has become one month after a brand extension and draft divided it in half. The result has been a number of intriguing storylines set to culminate inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, which will host the 29th edition of WWEs second-biggest pay-per-view.While a showdown between veterans ?Brock Lesnar? and ?Randy Orton? has the most star power of any match scheduled for Sunday night, and is being pushed most prominently across both Raw and SmackDown Live, the ? rest ? of the card offers plenty of bouts that are more important to the companys immediate future after the kickoff of its so-called new era.Lets take a look at whats at stake in each match.Brock Lesnar vs. Randy OrtonThe WWE was fortunate that Lesnar survived his one-off return to mixed martial arts in July without serious injury, outside of the negative press surrounding his pair of doping violations at UFC 200. Thankfully for the WWE, his popularity doesnt appear to have taken a hit with fans because of it.A significant portion of the intrigue going into Sunday night has been the return of Orton, who missed the previous nine months with a shoulder injury, along with the history (or lack thereof) between the two. WWE has billed it as a match 15 years in the making, with some powerful video packages recapping their days in WWEs developmental territory and their simultaneous 2002 debut on the main roster.As much as Lesnar has been a signature attraction in his part-time role since returning to the company, its been the booking of Orton, who returned as a WWE babyface, thats made this a must-see match. WWE has done well to play up the danger of his RKO as the great equalizer to Lesnars size and strength. For a feud with this much star power, a proper buildup isnt essential, but credit WWE nonetheless for cultivating a strong story. With Orton and Lesnar on competing shows, the orchestrated run-ins on both Raw and SmackDown have been flawless.There isnt much at stake in this match, in terms of what the outcome will be, but thats fine because the entertainment value alone should be enough.Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor, for the inaugural WWE Universal ChampionshipSay what you will about the name the WWE has given to its new world title, but the Universal Championship could prove to be the companys most prestigious belt the second its awarded, simply because its home is on Raw. If youre looking to award the title of most intriguing match going into SummerSlam, this is the one, for reasons that go beyond its four-star potential.There isnt one superstar who better exemplifies the WWEs new era than ?Finn Bálor, who held the NXT Championship for 292 days before relinquishing it in April. Fans of the Demon King couldnt have asked for a better ? buildup than his Raw debut on July 25, when Bálor won a pair of matches, including a clean pin over three-time WWE champion ?Roman Reigns? to clinch a spot in this match.The question that looms largest going into Sundays match is twofold; was allowing Bálor to get this far in his first month enough of a tip of the cap to vocal fans asking for change, with ?Seth Rollins? assuming his natural position as ? champion at the top of the heap on Raw? Or is WWE ready to go all-in on its future by strapping a rocket to Bálor and having him win this brand-new title?The more likely scenario would see the Universal Championship in Rollins hands; hes the WWEs top heel and arguably its best performer, and he carried the company throughout 2015 until his November knee injury. Either way, the WWE is in a no-lose situation, with the chance to test just how ready Bálor is for the big stage, with his chilling entrance and unique look as the demon.Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler, for the WWE world championshipAs is the case in all babyface pairings, fans have waited to see who is more willing to adopt heel tendencies. In this case its been ?Dolph Ziggler, who appears rejuvenated after being rescued from the midcard with the way the draft shook ? out -- and hes been the star of SmackDown Lives premier feud in recent weeks.The #ShowOff @HEELZiggler made a STATEMENT before battling @WWE World Champion @TheDeanAmbrose! #SDLive #SummerSlam https://t.co/wdxLcrLrHM- WWE (@WWE) August 17, 2016Its hard to imagine, however, that Ziggler will actually win the title -- especially with how strategically positioned ?Dean Ambrose? is within the show as a fan favorite -- but Zigglers return to the main event level has excited fans who ? have long been clamoring for it. A loss on Sunday would still be a victory for him overall if it leads to more meaningful opportunities on a thinner SmackDown roster.It wouldnt be a surprise, either, if Ambrose and Ziggler produce a sneaky-good match in the process. The unknown quotient remains Bray Wyatt, who has played as big of a role in this feud as Ambrose and Ziggler -- and hes curiously without a match of his own on Sunday. At the very least, consider him in line for a program against the winner.Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte, for the WWE Womens ChampionshipA recent stipulation of this match has barred ?Charlottes?protégé,?Dana Brooke, from being ringside. Lets hope all that does is allow the focus to be on the wrestling ability of these two rising stars, who have a history of ? incredible ? matches together dating back to their time in NXT.Theyve already started to tell the story their match will likely center around, with Charlotte pretending to fire Brooke backstage, only for her to run out and level ?Sasha Banks? so Charlotte could slap on the Figure-Eight.The trap was perfectly executed by @MsCharlotteWWE and @DanaBrookeWWE just days before #SummerSlam... #RAW https://t.co/Rh64MkOue2- WWE (@WWE) August 17, 2016Hopefully their incredible match last month on Raw, in which Banks won the title, was only the appetizer for what will happen Sunday. This rivalry has legitimate Shawn Michaels-Bret Hart-like potential for years to come.Rusev (c) vs. Roman Reigns, for the WWE United States ChampionshipSurprisingly, this pairing has received more airtime on Raw in the buildup to SummerSlam than any other -- further fueling fan disdain for how the company just cant help itself in trying to get Reigns fully over as a good guy.The good news is that they work well together, even if their 27-minute main event on Monday felt like a bit too much of a tease? for how things will play out Sunday night. For how maligned Reigns can be, no one in the company is working harder at the moment. His microphone work has improved, with an influx of comedy of late, and he has proved that he can have a great match with just about anyone.Considering Reigns has closed each of the last two Raw episodes with the upper hand against ?Rusev, a victory for The Bulgarian Brute on Sunday seems likely. The result would be an equal victory for Reigns, likely ? freeing him up for a return to the main event level. Lets be careful not to forget the foreshadowing promo Reigns gave immediately after his loss to Bálor on Raw.The New Day (c) vs. The Club, for the WWE tag team championshipThe recent storyline injury to Big E? has provided this rivalry with plenty of PG-13 comedy along the way. What we have seen inside the ring leading up has been just as exciting.The humor of ?The New Day? is best offset when they are staring down a legitimately physical challenge across the ring -- and thats exactly what ?Luke Gallows? and ?Karl Anderson? can provide.Its been one year since The New Day regained their WWE world tag team championships in a fatal four-way at last years SummerSlam. With ?Big E? sidelined and ?The Club? performing at a high level in the ring and on ? the ? microphone, the timing is perfect -- at least from a storyline perspective -- for the New Day to relinquish those titles on Sunday.John Cena vs. A.J. StylesWill this be the culmination of their summer feud? Its starting to feel that way.Not a whole lot has changed from a storyline standpoint since ?John Cena? returned from shoulder surgery on May 30, only to be confronted on Raw by ?A.J. Styles? about a dream match. Styles got the win with an ? assist ? from The Club at Money in the Bank in June, and Cena got revenge in a six-man tag match at Battleground in July.Their quarrel has been mostly quiet in recent weeks, save for Cena dropping Styles through the announce table on SmackDown Live this week. One thing we know we can count on entering Sunday is a great match, as both have a tendency to raise the level of their performances when the lights get brighter. Considering how under-the-radar this feud has been, dont be surprised if they end up stealing the show.The Miz (c) vs. Apollo Crews, for the WWE Intercontinental ChampionshipWhile the depth of Sundays card has largely relegated this feud to the backburner, this is ?Apollo Crews first real opportunity to show what he can do in a relatively important match. ?The Miz? may just be the perfect foil to help Crews get over, even in defeat. Crews is an incredible talent in the ring, but he probably could have benefited from more time and polish in NXT. Hell be ready one day to wear the IC title, but not yet.Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Chris Jericho and Kevin OwensConsider this a stay-busy feud for ?Enzo & Cass, who could use the in-ring seasoning they will get from the veteran duo now known as Jeri-KO. The humor throughout the buildup, especially from ?Chris Jericho? and ?Kevin Owens,? has ? been nothing short of top shelf as well. That should come as little surprise since some of the best promo cutters in the company are involved.Cesaro vs. SheamusAfter feuding on Raw to less-than-rave reviews in recent weeks, SummerSlam marks the kickoff of their recently announced best-of-seven series. Both ?Cesaro? and ?Sheamus? could work, so they might surprise us ? by ? the end of their feud. Simply from an anticipation standpoint, this one isnt moving me.Carmella, Becky Lynch and Naomi vs. Natalya and Alexa BlissA new generation of womens superstars have benefitted from a recent push on SmackDown Live, but this six-woman tag match, featuring a mixture of veterans and recent call-ups from NXT, took a hit with Thursdays news that ?Eva Marie, who was expected to team with ?Natalya? and ?Alexa Bliss, was suspended for a wellness violation. Who will join them now and face ?Carmella,?Becky Lynch? and ?Naomi? Could the open slot create the opportunity of ? a ? surprise ? return for ?Nikki Bella, who is rumored to have been recently medically ? cleared to compete after recovering from neck surgery? Considering this matchs placement on the card, a higher-profile return further down the road is more likely. Shareef Abdur-Rahim Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April.

"It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The dust had barely settled on the Bills first win of the season, when coach Rex Ryan turned his attention to Buffalos next opponent.Where Ryans concerned, its never too early to begin needling coach Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.Explaining how difficult it is to defend against a running quarterback such as Buffalos Tyrod Taylor, Ryan referenced the Patriots injury- and suspension-depleted position.I can sit and say I dont care who plays quarterback because I know Brady aint, Ryan said, referring to Tom Brady who will serve the fourth and final game of his Deflategate suspension when Buffalo travels to New England next weekend.Steve Grogan can play quarterback. If Belichicks playing quarterback, were coming after him, I promise you that.Game on.Ryan had reason to feel a little better about himself and the Bills (1-2) following a 33-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.The offense finally showed signs of its once-dominant running attack a week after Ryan fired coordinator Greg Roman and replaced him with Anthony Lynn. LeSean McCoy scored twice and Buffalo had 208 yards rushing -- 57 more than the team combined for in its first two games.And Ryans defense played like the bully he once envisioned.The Bills had five sacks, intercepted Carson Palmer four times, and safety Aaron Williams scored on a 53-yard fumble return off a botched snap on a field-goal attempt.The Cardinals (1-2) produced a dud a week after a 40-7 win over Tampa Bay.Arizona combined for 2 yards of offense and no first downs on its first five possessions. And Palmer closed the game by throwing interceptions on each of his final four drives.The Cardinals return home for an NFC West showdown against the Los Angeles Rams (2-1), who have won two straight following a 37-32 win over Tampa Bay.ARIANS SNAPSOf all the things that went wrong, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians focused his frustration on long-snapper Kameron Canadays second bad snap in three weeks. Trailing 23-7 in the third quarter, Arizona kicker Chandler Catanzaro lined up to attempt a 32-yard field goal. Canadays snap sailed high and through the hands of holder Drew Butler. Williams recovered it and returned it for a touchdown.ddddddddddddwo weeks earlier, Canadays bad snap resulted in Catanzaro missing a 47-yard attempt wide left in the final minute of a 23-21 season-opening loss to New England.Grow the hell up, Arians said, when asked how he tends to address Canadays problems. It has nothing to do with anything but whats between his ears.TAYLOR TIMELynns most notable tweak of the Bills offense involved taking the reins off Taylors running ability. After being limited to just 36 yards rushing in his first two games, Taylor had 76 yards -- 3 short of the single-game franchise record for quarterbacks he set last season.Taylors 49-yard run was the longest by a quarterback in team history and he also scored on a 20-yard run.One of the best things he can do is he can run the ball, McCoy said. Why wouldnt you not have him using his legs?Good question.GILMORE BOUNCES BACKAfter being part of a defensive secondary that was burned for 374 yards passing in a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets, cornerback Stephon Gilmore bounced back. He had two of Buffalos four interceptions and played a key role in limiting Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald to seven catches for 60 yards.Corey Graham had a sack and interception. Corey White had an interception starting in place of Ronald Darby (hamstring).IN THE CARDSArizona running back David Johnson had 83 yards rushing and scored on 4- and 22-yard runs. Catanzaro hit a 60-yard field goal , the longest at whats now called New Era Field.INJURIESRyan had no update on the status of receiver Sammy Watkins, who did not play after a teammate stepped on his surgically repaired left foot during a walk-through this week. Starting left tackle Cordy Glenn missed his second straight game after aggravating an injury to his left ankle.Cardinals punter Drew Butler sustained what Arians called a severe sprain to his left ankle. Catanzaro filled in. He had a 47-yard punt out of his end zone, and then shanked a 19-yarder on his second attempt.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
