JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, who has more turnovers than touchdowns this season, is shouldering blame for the teams 0-2 start.I havent played well in two games and our offense hasnt played well in two games, Bortles said Wednesday. For anything to change, Im going to have to play better.It begins against Baltimore (2-0) on Sunday, when the Jaguars will try to avoid starting 0-3 for the third time in the last four years.Bortles has three touchdown passes, three interceptions and a lost fumble. Equally telling are the errant passes and poor decisions -- rookie mistakes that he was supposed to eliminate in his third NFL season.Theres going to be turnovers. Theres going to be penalties. Thats going to happen, Bortles said. We got to eliminate the stupid ones, the pre-snaps, the false starts and then obviously the dumb interceptions and the strip-fumbles. You got to eliminate the stuff that shouldnt happen. But that stuff is going to happen, and its how you handle it and bounce back.Bortles has been at his worst early, throwing interceptions in the first quarter of both games that led to deficits. His second pass of the season opener against Green Bay was behind Marqise Lee, tipped and picked off. His third pass last week at San Diego also was behind Lee, tipped and intercepted. Both opponents scored touchdowns following the turnovers.Bortles bounced back against the Packers and took the lead in the first half. He had a chance to get Jacksonville back in the game against the Chargers, but he fumbled on a third-down play at the San Diego 22.The Chargers ended up taking a 35-0 lead into the fourth quarter and won 38-14. Bortles completed 31 of 50 passes for 329 yards, with two touchdowns, two interceptions and two sacks.Coach Gus Bradley said its a challenge for Bortles to not indict himself for the offenses play.You feel like its on your shoulders and its not, Bradley said. In all areas, we need to step it up. ... Sometimes speed bumps happen during the season. Its not OK, but if this takes us to better places, at least we can hang our hat on that. Thats what Im really looking for this week.The Jaguars believed they would build off last seasons offensive performance. They ranked 18th in the league in total offense and felt like they had some key pieces -- Bortles, receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns and tight end Julius Thomas -- to make another big jump in 2016.But Robinson and Hurns have been mostly non-factors. The offensive line has been shaky again, really struggling to open up running holes, and it could be without left tackle Kelvin Beachum against the Ravens. And Bortles has been far from consistent.Sure, hes topped 300 yards passing both weeks. But the Jaguars are now 0-9 when he reaches that benchmark.The more important record now is trying to stave off 0-3 again.You start 0-2 and its pretty easy for guys to fold up shop already and become pretty negative, Bortles said. I dont think we have the locker room to do that. I know we have a lot of guys that believe in Gus and believe in his philosophies and culture and have bought in.Were going to continue to go about it the way we always have and believe that when we handle what we need to during the week then well perform the way we should on Sundays.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Talk about a 1-2-3 punch for the Toronto Blue Jays in these playoffs.The wild-card Blue Jays have rediscovered their power stroke in October, and are going home with a chance to sweep the Texas Rangers in the AL Division Series after a 5-3 win Friday.Edwin Encarnacion capped a three-homer burst in the fifth inning off Yu Darvish, and Toronto won on a dreary, misty afternoon for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five matchup.One important reminder, though: Last fall, Toronto lost the first two games of the ALDS at home against Texas, then rallied to win the series.I learned something last year ... you got to win three games, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Theyve got a great team over there. You dont lead the American League, powerhouse league, you dont luck into that.Wearing spikes that had No Panic printed on them, closer Roberto Osuna got a five-out save that sent the Blue Jays home looking to clinch the series in Game 3 Sunday night.Osuna entered after reliever Francisco Liriano was hit near the back of the head by Carlos Gomezs line drive. Liriano was taken by ambulance after the game to a hospital, where he was checked out and then cleared to fly home with the team that evening. It was Osunas first appearance since he left the mound in the AL wild-card win Tuesday night with a shoulder injury that left his status in doubt.Kevin Pillar, Ezequiel Carrera and Encarnacion, who ended the wild-card game with a three-run homer in the 11th inning, hit solo homers in a five-batter span in the fifth. Troy Tulowitzkis two-run drive in the second put 20-game winner J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays ahead to stay.Getting behind in the count, and they were looking for fastballs, Darvish said through his interpreter. When I left it on the plate, they got it.Texas scored twice in the eighth, including Gomezs single that struck Liriano. The pitcher walked off the mound.A day after Cleveland homered three times in an inning against Boston and won its ALDS opener, the Blue Jays matched the feat against the team that won an AL-high 95 games this year. The home runs boosted the Blue Jays in a game in which they got outhit 13-6.While Toronto finished the regular season fourth in the majors with 221 homers, only eight came in the last 11 games. They already have eight in three postseason games.Home runs are always a good thing, Gibbons said.Darvish had as many strikeouts (four) in his five innings as homers allowed, becoming the first pitcher in the postseason to allow four homers in a game since Minnesotas Rick Reed against Oakland in Game 3 of the 2002 ALDS.Texas has lost five straight ALDS games to the Blue Jays since winning the first two games iin Toronto last October.dddddddddddd The Rangers dropped to 1-11 in ALDS games in their home ballpark, including Cole Hamels worst postseason outing in the 10-1 series-opening loss Thursday.Weve come back from a lot this year. ... We all believe in each other, said Texas outfielder Ian Desmond, who drove in two runs but was also thrown out trying to score on a grounder.Happ allowed nine hits but only run before leaving one batter into the sixth.You go into a game knowing that at some point theyre going to get their hits, Happ said. But yeah, it was a battle. It seemed like a long five innings.Osuna, who afterward said he felt no pain, came in a little earlier than planned, a move that followed Liriano getting struck.The ball off Gomezs bat was measured at 102 mph, and Liriano turned away just in time to avoid being hit in the face. Gomez winced as the ball caromed into right-center field for a single to make it 5-2.Desmond drove in a run with a grounder before Osuna struck out Carlos Beltran to end the eighth.Adrian Beltre was stranded at second after a leadoff double in the ninth.COOL DOWNAt first pitch, it was overcast with a temperature of 67 degrees, but the game started on time after rain fell overnight and in the early-morning hours at Globe Life Park. It was 90 degrees Thursday at the start of the series opener that was played under bright, sunny conditions.OUT AT HOMEDesmond had a leadoff double in the seventh, but was later thrown out at the plate after third baseman Josh Donaldson fielded a grounder. The out call stood after a replay challenge by the Rangers.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: 2B Devon Travis was scratched from the starting lineup about an hour before the first pitch because of right knee irritation.Rangers: RF Shin-Soo Choo was out of the lineup after playing Game 1, but manager Jeff Banister said Choo was fine physically. Choo was on the disabled list four times this year, and had missed 39 games with a broken left forearm until last weekend.UP NEXTBlue Jays: One of the two losses this season by RHP Aaron Sanchez, the AL ERA leader at 3.00, was to Texas. He gave up six runs, matching his season high, and was the loser in that May 15 game with the bench-clearing brawl after Toronto star Jose Bautista was punched by Rougned Odor.Rangers: RHP Colby Lewis is 4-1 with a 2.38 ERA in nine career postseason games (eight starts) for Texas. In 2010, he won the AL Championship Series clincher to get the Rangers to their first World Series, and beat San Francisco in Game 3 for their only victory in that series.
