LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery expressed remorse for his failure to help the team over the past month while he served a suspension for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances.Speaking publicly for the first time about the four-game ban, Jeffery said his absence probably cost the Bears a couple of victories.Just got to know what you put in your body, he said Wednesday. I want to say that I feel like, if I was playing, some of those games we would have had a different outcome. We probably would have won.When asked if he let the team down, Jeffery didnt hesitate.Most definitely, he said.Minus Jeffery, Chicagos wide receivers dropped an NFL-record eight passes in a 27-21 loss to Tennessee on Nov. 27.Last Sunday, reserve wideout?Josh Bellamy?dropped a pass from quarterback Matt Barkley that wouldve put the Bears in position to either tie or win in regulation against the Lions. Instead, the Bears lost 20-17 to fall to 3-10.Jeffery declined to discuss the banned substance he ingested.Im going to own up to it and I accept the punishment. At the end of the day, its my name on it, so Im moving forward with it, Jeffery said. So it is what it is. I learned from it. Thats all I can say.After practice Wednesday, Jeffery revealed that he spent part of the suspension training in the state of Washington, and that he picked up yoga.I thought why not? Ive got nothing else to do, Jeffery said with a laugh.A former Pro Bowler, Jeffery, 26, played in just nine games last year because of injuries, but still caught 54 passes for 807 yards and four touchdowns.He signed a one-year franchise tag tender worth $14.599 million in March, but he lost $3.45 million -- the equivalent to four game checks -- due to the suspension. He started all nine games prior to his suspension, but he had only 40 receptions for 630 yards and one touchdown as the Bears suffered multiple injuries at quarterback.Jefferys best two seasons occurred from 2013-14, when he caught a combined 174 passes for 2,554 yards and 17 touchdowns.The veteran receiver does not believe the PED suspension will impact how teams view him if he reaches free agency in the offseason. The Bears have the right to apply the franchise tag to Jeffery again -- at an increased cost.Its up to [GM Ryan Pace] to judge, however the situation plays out, Jeffery said. But right now, Im on this team. Thats all I care about and am focused on. Im just going to go out there and just play hard. Whatever happens, happens. But Im just going to go out there and play hard.It felt great. I was excited to get back out there with my guys. I missed playing football.Frank Robinson Nationals Jersey .

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- There was no celebration after the game for Earthquakes interim coach Mark Watson. San Joses players prefer waiting for something a bit bigger. Sam Cronin scored the winning goal in the 52nd minute and the Earthquakes beat the Colorado Rapids 2-1 on Saturday night to give Watson his first win. "Well wait for something bigger, like a playoff win, but there will be one," San Jose midfielder Chris Wondolowski said. But there were some fireworks between Watson and Rapids coach Oscar Pareja as the two walked off the field following a testy game that featured a red-card ejection. "It wasnt the prettiest game," said Watson. "But the results were good." Neither coach would discuss their postgame conversation, but Pareja wouldnt deny that it had something to do with the red card to Rapids leading scorer Atiba Harris in the 18th minute. "Well keep it between us," said Watson. Colorado played the final 72 minutes without Harris, who was ejected for sliding into Alan Gordon. Gordon was on the ground when Harris slid into his right leg. "Ill have to look at the film before commenting on the play," Pareja said. "I can say we were frustrated by our play in the first half, but played better a man down in the second half." Steven Lenhart scored his first goal of the season in the 11th minute to give San Jose a 1-0 lead, ending a two-match scoreless drought. The Earthquakes, shut out in their last two games, had scored only 13 goals in their first 15 games this season. Watson replaced Frank Yallop after San Joses 3-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on June 1.dddddddddddd The Earthquakes (4-6-6) had only one win in their previous 11 matches and were 0-5-2 on the road under Yallop. "He did a great job coming in here and commanding our locker room," Wondolowski said. "It was a bit similar to the way it was, but it was a great mix." Nathan Sturgis scored in the 67th for Colorado (5-5-5), which snapped a six-match unbeaten streak. The Rapids were 3-0-3 in that span. Neither team had a shot on goal before Lenhart outraced the defence for the ball a few strides past midfield. He drilled the ball from just outside the box into the upper right corner of the net past Clint Irwin to make it 1-0. The Rapids had their first scoring chance in the 30th minute when Dillon Powers put a shot into the breadbasket of Busch for a save. Deshorn Brown had a follow up shot, but sailed a header over the crossbar. Cronin extended the lead with his second goal of the season, picking up a loose ball and eluding Irwin as he came out beyond the penalty box then firing the ball into the back of the net. Irwin later stopped Lenhart from in close, Colorado regained possession and Brian Mullans cross set up Sturgis goal. Lenhart had a second goal waved off by an off-sides call in the 85th minute. San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch caught a shot by Edson Buddle with a minute left. "Our play changed in the second half," Watson said. "We didnt have to take the game to them. They had to take the game to us." ' ' '
