After a month on the road, D.C. United returns to RFK Stadium on Sunday to open the second half of the MLS season against the surging Montreal Impact.Sundays match will be the first at home for United since a 2-0 win over New England on June 25. The Red-and-Black went 0-2-2 during their four-game road trip and have only one win in their last seven games, but now return home hoping to climb back above the red line in the Eastern Conference standings. United is 4-4-1 on their home pitch this season.Its been a month on the road. That can take its toll, United coach Ben Olsen said. So coming back is exciting and we are looking forward to playing here at RFK.Montreal (7-5-8) arrives in fourth place on the Eastern Conference table and in good form. The Impact, led by a hat trick from Didier Drogba, are coming off a 5-1 rout of the Philadelphia Union.Drogba has eight goals on the season, and playmaking forward Ignacio Piatti has 12 goals, the second most in MLS.Drogba comes to town, Piatti, two of the best players in the league, so well have our hands full again. We have to be hyper-alert but competitive and play with a little edge, Olsen told the teams website.The Impact have lost only once in their last eight MLS matches, but have never had much success at RFK Stadium. Montreal is 0-3-2 at RFK all-time, including a 1-0 loss last season.This will be the first meeting between the teams this season, and United (5-8-7) will have a new look with the addition of potential offensive upgrades in Patrick Mullins and Lloyd Sam. Uniteds midfield also got a recent boost with the return of Patrick Nyarko, who missed the last two months with a concussion.The past couple weeks Ive been all in with training and pushing myself and obviously the game fitness and the little time Im getting here and there helps to build that fitness and helps build that confidence, Nyarko told the teams website.Ulf Samuelsson Jersey . Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Zarley Zalapski Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. https://www.cheappenguinsjersey.com/991q-jaromir-jagr-jersey-penguins.html . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Orest Kindrachuk Jersey . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. Tristan Jarry Jersey . With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota.LONDON -- The Bengals and Redskins both leave London feeling like losers after a strange shootout of a tie that satisfies nobody.Washington (4-3-1) needed to gain ground vs. Dallas and Philadelphia above it in the competitive NFC East, while Cincinnati (3-4-1) simply hoped to get back to .500 in the weaker AFC North. Instead, both head into their bye weeks with that unlikely No. 1 tacked on to their records like an irritating footnote.The Bengals let their victory slip away in regulation, permitting a 10-play, 45-yard drive that ended in a 40-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins with barely a minute left to knot the score 27-27.Washington got a double dose of regret in overtime, cheering as Hopkins 34-yard kick with barely two minutes remaining cleared the uprights -- only to be whistled dead on a Bengals timeout. His second kick hooked wide left .Yet the Redskins got the ball back at midfield after forcing an Andy Dalton fumble . Kirk Cousins hit Pierre Garcon to the Bengals 33-yard line, into potential winning field-goal range again -- only for the play to be reversed on a dubious pass interference call on Garcon.Its weird, said Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson. On one hand, youre mad, because theres a couple plays that if we make, we can win. But at the same time, we didnt lose. Its bittersweet, you know? Im glad we didnt take the `L, but Im upset we didnt win.Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said hed been thinking to himself, after watching the Seahawks and Cardinals struggle to a 6-6 tie last weekend, how weird it would be to experience an NFL tie himself.Then lo and behold, here we are, he said. It definitely feels more like a loss than a win.I just feel bad, said Redskins cornerback Josh Norman. Tie? Whatever. I just feel like we lost.Other takeaways from Sundays Wembley Stadium draw:TERRIFIC TYLER: If the Bengals are going to reach the playoffs for a sixth straight year, they must improve their red-zone scoring. T key could be Tyler Eifert.The fourth-year tight end played a full game for the first time since offseason back surgery and was a dominant presence. He caught nine balls on 12 targets for 102 yards, many of them gained after the catch on short dump-offs, shovel passes or because of broken tackles.His 15-yard touchdown catch on the Bengals opening third-quarter drive put Cincinnati in front 13-10. It also was the first touchdown generated this season by any Bengals tight end, one year removed from Eifert catchinng 13 TD catches, a team record at the position.ddddddddddddA.J. Green said having Eifert back opened up the field for every other receiver.To see what he can do in the middle of the field is unbelievable, said Green, who made nine catches for 121 yards. I didnt have to worry about both safeties. All I had to worry about was beating the corner every time.Eiferts blocking was instrumental on Cincinnatis final touchdown. He helped seal the end of the defensive line for Jeremy Hill to stride untouched into the end zone on a 1-yard run that put the Bengals up 27-24 in the fourth quarter.Dalton praised Eifert as such a good player ... a big part of this offense.RUNNING FREE: The Redskins ground game aint broken without leading rusher Matt Jones, sidelined Sunday with a knee injury picked up midweek.Undrafted rookie Robert Kelley proved effective, carrying 21 times for 87 yards and his first rushing touchdown, a juking 4-yard carry up the gut on Washingtons opening drive. His final carry in overtime went for 16 yards to the Bengals 13 to put Hopkins seemingly within safe field goal range.Cousins said he was impressed watching the 228-pounder from Tulane read the holes and make the cuts and keep his shoulders downhill and take on contact.KICKING THEMSELVES: Both teams have questions to answer after their kickers flubbed scoring chances. Hopkins hit field goals of 20 and 40 yards, but missed from 34 and 55 -- and he was still the better kicker on the field.The Bengals Mike Nugent has missed all three attempts of 50 yards or more this season, including Sundays 51-yarder that spun low and wide left. Nugent also shanked an extra point, his first miss this season. That point could have turned a tie into the narrowest of victories.SEEING YELLOW: While Josh Norman protested vociferously Sunday that the officials were biased against his team, the stark reality is that the Redskins played by far their most penalty-marred game.Sundays tally was 15 flags for 102 yards, and didnt include a pass interference on Norman on a 40-yard pass to A.J. Green that the Bengals receiver caught despite being held. Washingtons previous top penalty total, achieved in two games, was nine penalties for 75 yards.---Associated Press reporter Zac Boyer contributed to this story.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
