Welcome to the first installment of what will be a weekly look into the inner workings of QBR, shining a closer spotlight on a quarterback performance that might seem a little on the high or low side of our rankings. For our first foray, lets look at Tennessee Titans quarterback?Marcus Mariotas 3.6 QBR against the Oakland Raiders.At first glance it doesnt look like an epically bad game -- Mariota was 17-of-33 passing for 214 yards with two interceptions -- so why is Mariotas QBR lower than?Ryan Fitzpatricks six-interception game against the Chiefs, which produced a 5.0?First, the most important thing to remember is that QBR is a rate stat, not a counting stat. This means that Mariota was less efficient than Fitzpatrick in Week 3, not necessarily that he cost his team more points with his play. In fact, if we look at our Points Added metric, Fitzpatrick was worse. Points Added estimates the number of points a QB adds (or, in this case, subtracts), versus what an average QB would do, given the same amount of action. In this respect. He cost the Jets an estimated 10.4 points; Mariota only cost the Titans 9.3.Part of what created Mariotas poor QBR is that he struggled mightily on third downs against the Raiders, converting first downs on only two of his 12 plays (he also was flagged for a false start on a third-and-9 in the red zone, which impacted his rating). Looking only at his third-down play, Mariotas QBR was only a 1.3.Mariota had a damaging fumble while attempting to scramble for a conversion on a third-and-13 attempt in the second quarter, setting the Raiders up in?Sebastian Janikowskis field goal range. He also had an interception on a third-and-2 at the end of the first half, but the impact of that play is muted by the fact there wasnt enough time left for the Raiders to run a play or kick a field goal. But make no mistake, it was not a good play.Outside of his third-down issues, Mariota threw an interception that gave the Raiders the ball near midfield and fumbled early in the game. Even though his teammate recovered, since Mariota didnt recover it himself, his QBR is charged the same amount as if Oakland had recovered, and in proportion to where the Raiders would have gotten the ball on the turnover. In this case, Mariotas fumble occurred at his own 30-yard-line, which again would have set up the Raiders in Janikowskis range.Yes, Mariota nearly led a game-tying touchdown drive at the end of the game, but by that point he had already dug a hole so deep that even if he had capped the drive with a TD, hed still be in a similar range to Fitzpatrick. As it was, he was able to bring his QBR up from a 1.7 at the start of the final drive to the 3.6 where it ended.While Fitzpatrick did throw six INTs, they were not as damaging to his QBR because he still managed to drive the Jets into advantageous positions before turning it over. The net effect of his interceptions are still negative and drag his QBR down, but he had built up some positive credit along the way before giving it back with the picks, whereas Mariota simply couldnt move the ball effectively and managed to turn it over in threatening locations, a double-whammy.It is never good to throw an interception, but interceptions deep in opposition territory (which leads to a long field for the opposing offense) are better than giving the ball away near your own end zone, where the opponent is more likely to score. Trevor Story Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. Jairo Diaz Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. https://www.cheaprockiesjerseys.us/ .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.

The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua, unable to finalize a mega-showdown with former world champion Wladimir Klitschko, will instead make his second defense against Eric Molina, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn announced Tuesday.The fight will take place on Dec. 10 at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, with American television coverage ticketed for Showtime, which has a contract with Joshua. The card will be on Sky Box Office pay-per-view in the United Kingdom.Joshua was hoping to face Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs) following the cancellation of Klitschkos Oct. 29 rematch with world champion Tyson Fury because of Furys personal problems, including drug, alcohol and mental health issues. When time began to run short to finalize and then properly promote such a major fight -- the biggest in the heavyweight division -- combined with Klitschko also suffering a mild calf injury, the camps decided to put off the possible blockbuster until spring.While they hope to make the fight for March or April, Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) will stay active by facing fringe contender Molina (25-3, 19 KOs).I am pleased that everything is now set for Dec. 10 and I can concentrate on getting the business done in the ring, Joshua said. There has been plenty of talk about who I may face but all Im doing is concentrating on finishing Molina in style and putting on a great show.The 27-year-old Joshua, the 2012 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist for Great Britain, has not been challenged in any serious manner in his previous title bouts. He won the belt by second-round knockout of Charles Martin in April and then dominated Dominic Breazeale, a 2012 U.S. Olympian, en route to a seventh-round knockout in June.Molina, 34, of Raymondsville, Texas, will be a prohibitive underdog but he is getting his second opportunity to fight for a world title. He challenged Deontay Wilder for his version of the title in June 2015 and, although he rocked Wilder, Molina eventually got knocked out in the ninth round. Molinas other two career defeats came by first-round knockout, in his pro debut in 2007 and to former title challenger Chris Arreola in 2012.Since the loss to Wilder, Molina has boxed once, traveling to Poland and knocking out faded former contender Tomasz Adamek, a former cruiserweight and light heavyweight world titleholder, in the 10th round in April.There is no heavyweight in the world that has bounced back like I have, Molina said. Thats the man that Joshua faces on Dec. 10 and that man is a very dangerous one. Hell fight the toughest Molina that anybody has ever seen, just like Adamek fought the toughest Molina.Im confident. These type of fights dont shake me up. Im a very strong mental fighter. I know exactly what Ive got to do to prepare myself in the amount of time. I know exactly what Ive got to do, mentally, physically, to go there and perform. When you walk out into the atmosphere, half the battle is the mental battle, and if you can stay in the moment mentally you have a shot in any fight.Said Joshua: Every fight is dangerous in this division and this is no exception. I saw Molina have a great fight with Wilder and he is now coming off a strong KO win against Adamek in Poland. Im expecting this to be the toughest fight of my careeer so far and I will be ready for an all-out war.ddddddddddddBefore the fight with Molina was finalized possible opponents included British countryman and one-time top prospect David Price (21-3, 18 KOs), 33, and former world title challenger Kubrat Pulev (23-1, 12 KOs), 35, of Bulgaria. Mandatory challenger Joseph Parker (21-0, 18 KOs), 24, of New Zealand, was also an earlier consideration, but Parker elected to go in another direction and will instead face Andy Ruiz Jr. for one of the world title belts vacated by Fury.The heavyweight division has been turned on its head in the last few months and while many are standing still waiting, Im delighted to get this huge card up and running in Manchester, Hearn said. I have spoken to Eric Molina at length and I know this is going to be a big test for Anthony. We saw in the Wilder fight that he can punch and doesnt give in and is coming off a strong knockout win against Adamek in his backyard in Poland.The card will also include heavyweight Dillian Whyte (19-1, 15 KOs), 28, defending his British title against former world title challenger Dereck Chisora (26-6, 18 KOs), 32, in a bout that will also serve as a world title eliminator. The winner will move a step closer to a mandatory shot at the world title held by Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs).Whyte also has his eye on a possible rematch with Joshua, who, before he won a world title, stopped Whyte in the seventh-round of a brawl in December 2015. Whyte has won three fights in a row since, including winning the vacant British title in by 10th-round knockout of Ian Lewison on Oct. 7.In Chisoras biggest fight, he lost a one-sided decision to then-heavyweight world titleholder Vitali Klitschko in 2012 but vast experience in losses to opponents such as Fury, David Haye and Pulev. The Joshua-Molina card will also include junior bantamweight world titleholder Luis Concepcion (35-4, 24 KOs), 31, of Panama, defending his belt for the second time when he meets Khalid Yafai (20-0, 14 KOs), 27, of England.Former junior featherweight titleholder Scott Quigg (31-1-2, 23 KOs) will face an opponent to be determined. He is moving up to featherweight for his first bout since suffering a broken jaw in a split decision loss to Carl Frampton in their title unification fight in February.The card is one of the strongest we have produced, supported by a huge all-British heavyweight grudge match between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora, Heard said. We are delighted to see the return of Scott Quigg, who will now campaign at featherweight, and Birminghams Kal Yafai has a chance to make history in a brutal fight against world champion Luis Concepcion.Two other fighters of note are also slated to be on the show if they win previously scheduled bouts. Heavyweight destroyer Luis King Kong Ortiz (25-0, 22 KOs), who recently signed with Hearn, first must get past Malik Scott (38-2-1, 13 KOs) on Nov. 12 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Also, womens amateur star Katie Taylor, a lightweight who won a 2012 Olympic gold medal and competed in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, will fight on the card if all goes well in her Nov. 26 professional debut.
