It could be the end of an era at Manly, with coach Trent Barrett admitting hes unsure if injured veterans Brett Stewart and Steve Matai will remain next NRL season.On the same day captain Jamie Lyon confirmed hes likely played his last game due to injury, Barrett could not guarantee comebacks for both Stewart and Matai in 2017.Stewart, 31, hasnt played since his season was cut short due to a knee injury in round 16, while Matai, 32, underwent surgery in April on a troublesome neck problem.I dont think were 100 per cent confident that theyll recover, Barrett said on Tuesday.With 34-year-old Lyon retiring this season, the experienced duo are the last remaining links to the Sea Eagles 2008 premiership and only Daly-Cherry-Evans and Jamie Buhrer also remain from the 2011 title decider.Barrett remained hopeful that the pair, who both have one year remaining on their contracts, would recover for next year.Weve certainly got our fingers crossed they do, because they are very important parts of our team, he said.It has been a frustrating year for the both of them, but wed hate to lose more senior players at this stage.Losing our captains going to be tough enough. Hopefully they can get through.Stewarts future has been under a cloud for some time, particularly after the emergence of young star Tom Trbojevic at fullback over the past seven weeks.His shift to the No.1 coincided with a four-game winning streak that momentarily kept their finals hopes alive, before the side lost its past three games to crash out of contention.Stewarts possible exit, along with Matais could ease some pressure off the clubs salary cap.Its something that weve got to deal with, Barrett said.Its certainly not the boys fault. But we can work around a few different scenarios for next year.Its going okay. Weve just got to hope the the pair of them come good. Keith Tkachuk Jersey .

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.

It also had to sweat out rookie kicker Wil Lutzs last-second field goal attempt from 61 yards, which narrowly missed wide left as the Superdome crowd briefly erupted before realizing the kick was no good.Brees eclipsed 400 yards passing for the 14th time in his career, tying Peyton Manning for the most such performances in NFL history.BENGALS 23, JETS 22EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mike Nugent kicked a 47-yard field goal with 54 seconds left, lifting the Bengals over the Jets.Andy Dalton threw for 366 yards and a touchdown to A.J.

Wentz played mistake-free football despite missing the last three preseason games with injured ribs. He finished 22 of 37 with a 101.0 passer rating.A new quarterback (Griffin) and new coach (Hue Jackson) couldnt help the Browns (0-1) avoid losing their opener for the 12th straight season.Wentz threw a 19-yard TD pass to Jordan Matthews on the opening drive and tossed a perfect 35-yard TD pass down the right side to Nelson Agholor for a 22-10 lead in the third quarter.BUCCANEERS 31, FALCONS 24ATLANTA -- Jameis Winston bounced back from an early interception to throw four touchdown passes, and Tampa Bay claimed a winning record for the first since 2012 by opening the season with a victory over the Falcons.Winston began his second year as a pro by going 23 of 33 for 281 yards, using just about every weapon at his disposal in the matchup between NFC South rivals. He hooked up with receiver Mike Evans, running back Charles Sims III and tight ends Austin Sefarian-Jenkins and Brandon Myers on scoring plays.The Falcons grabbed a 10-3 lead late in the first quarter after Winstons pass for Vincent Jackson was picked off by Desmond Trufant, who returned it 13 yards to the Tampa Bay 9. There was a mix-up between the quarterback and receiver, as Jackson broke outside while Winstons threw to the inside.VIKINGS 25, TITANS 16NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Eric Kendricks returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter and Danielle Hunter scored a 24-yard TD off a fumble return and the Vikings beat the Titans.The Vikings wound up forcing three turnovers in the span of just under seven minutes and also had two sacks.The defending NFC North champs needed the help from their defense in scoring 25 straight points after being shut out in the first half and Adrian Peterson, the NFLs 2015 rushing leader, being smothered.Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer did his best to hide his starter at quarterback after the Vikings lost Teddy Bridgewater to a major knee injury Aug. 30, and after they traded their 2017 first-round draft pick to Philadelphia for Sam Bradford .PACKERS 27, JAGUARS 23JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for anotherr score, leading the Packers to a victory against the Jaguars.ddddddddddddRodgers looked every bit like, well, a two-time league MVP. He extended plays with his feet, escaped sacks and had precision accuracy all over the field.He completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards, with TD passes to Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. He was sacked once for no yards and didnt turn it over.He helped the Packers win their second opener in the last five years. This one came on a sweltering, late-summer day that left some players cramping and others completely exhausted.RAVENS 13, BILLS 7BALTIMORE -- The Ravens used a touchdown pass by Joe Flacco, two field goals and a throwback defensive performance to beat the Bills.Against former defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, now Buffalos head coach, the Ravens limited the Bills to 160 yards and sacked former teammate Tyrod Taylor twice.Thats how Baltimore played defense under Ryan from 1999-2008, and thats how it won the 2012 Super Bowl.Returning from a knee injury that ended his season last November, Flacco went 23 for 34 for 258 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown pass to newcomer Mike Wallace in the second quarter that put the Ravens ahead for good.That, plus field goals of 50 and 37 yards by Justin Tucker, was enough for Baltimores first season-opening victory since 2012.TEXNAS 23, BEARS 14HOUSTON -- Brock Osweiler threw for 231 yards and two touchdowns in his debut with Houston to lead the Texans and their revamped offense win over the Bears.Osweiler, who signed to a $72 million contract from Denver in the offseason, was helped by an offense filled with playmakers.He completed passes to eight different receivers, led by rookie first-round pick Will Fuller, who became the first player in franchise history to have 100 yards receiving in a debut with 107 and a touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins added 54 yards and a score and running back Lamar Miller had 106 yards rushing in his first game with the Texans.Osweilers day started with a hiccup when he threw an interception on the first drive, but soon got going and looked comfortable after that.SEAHAWKS 12, DOLPHINS 10SEATTLE -- Hobbled by an ankle injury, Russell Wilson pulled off another fourth-quarter comeback, throwing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin with 31 seconds left, giving the Seahawks a win over the Dolphins.The expected contenders in the NFC looked flawed offensively and buckled defensively in the fourth quarter, giving up an 86-yard touchdown drive to Ryan Tannehill that gave the Dolphins a 10-6 lead with 4:08 remaining.Thats when Wilson went to work, playing on a right ankle that twisted badly in the third quarter as he was sacked by Ndamukong Suh. Seattle converted fourth-and-1 early in the drive on a 7-yard run by Christine Michael, but the big play was Wilson finding Baldwin for 22 yards on a crossing route on fourth-and-4 near midfield.Wilson hit Baldwin in the corner of the end zone to give Seattle the lead. The extra point was partially blocked by Miamis Jason Jones, but it didnt matter.GIANTS 20, COWBOYS 19ARLINGTON, Texas -- Eli Manning threw for three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Victor Cruz in his first game in nearly two years, and the Giants beat the Cowboys.The Giants (1-0) won the debut of coach Ben McAdoo after 12 years and two Super Bowl titles under Tom Coughlin while spoiling the first game for Dallas Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.Because of Tony Romos back injury, Prescott and Elliott were the first rookie quarterback-running back combo to start an opener for the Cowboys since Roger Staubach and Calvin Hill in 1969.The game ended with Dallas in position for a roughly 57-yard field goal, but Terrance Williams didnt get out of bounds after a catch and the clock ran out. Dan Bailey had four field goals, including two from more than 50 yards.Cruz, who missed most of 2014 with a knee injury and all of last season with a bad calf, broke free in the end zone for a 3-yard TD with 6 minutes remaining, prompting his trademark salsa dance.LIONS 39, COLTS 35INDIANAPOLIS -- Matthew Stafford took advantage of one last chance Sunday and Matt Prater redeemed himself with a 43-yard field goal with 8 seconds to give the Lions a victory at Indianapolis.Prater missed an extra point wide right with 4:04 left in the season opener, a miscue that nearly cost the Lions.Detroit won for only the second time in Indy, and it came just 37 seconds after it looked like Andrew Luck had rallied the Colts for an improbable last-minute victory.It just wasnt enough to avoid Indys third straight opening day loss in a wild finish.After Praters miss, Luck drove the Colts 75 yards and hooked up with Jack Doyle on a 6-yard TD pass with 37 seconds left. Adam Vinatieris extra point gave the Colts a 35-34 lead. ' ' '
