ASHBURN, Va. -- Sometime before the Washington Redskins open the season, coach Jay Gruden may pull out the tape of a first-round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers to remind players new and old of what went wrong.Its something we all learned from, were all sick about still, Gruden said. If youre a competitor and you lose at home in the playoffs, its something that youll never forget.The Redskins dont forget the end, and skeptics remember that the team went winless against winning teams last season but still captured the NFC East. Washington isnt any less likely to win the division this season, especially after Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romos injury, yet players still believe they have plenty to prove.Weve got to show that it wasnt just a one-hit wonder thing last year, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. Weve got to show that we can be a consistent winning franchise.Back-to-back playoff appearances would go a long way toward illustrating that the Redskins are at least building toward consistency. But remaining atop the division will be more of a challenge facing a first-place schedule than it was last year with a last-place schedule.Still, the Redskins may be better on paper than in 2015 with Kirk Cousins in his second year as starting quarterback, many of the same receivers to throw to and a defense bolstered by the signing of All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman. Continuity has replaced distractions and strong drafts have stockpiled usable talent.The job that the front office has done will continually add depth to this team and continually add playmakers and cornerstones to this team, four-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams said. The confidence just comes along with it. We know were a talented bunch, but at the same time we know that you cant win a game on paper. Our plan is to go out and prove it on Sundays.Five Sundays -- and Thanksgiving -- against the Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants could make the difference. Norman signed a $75 million, five-year deal to face the likes of Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham Jr., after Washington ranked 25th in the NFL in pass defense last season.Cornerback-turned-safety DeAngelo Hall called this secondary the best group Ive ever been around, counting the Oakland Raiders 2008 group that featured Hall, Nnamdi Asomugha, Gibril Wilson, Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson. Cousins throwing targets of tight end Jordan Reed and receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon are back, too.And theres certainly no shortage of motivation for Jackson and Garcon, each in the final year of his contract. Garcon was with the Indianapolis Colts when they were a perennial playoff team and went to a Super Bowl, so he knows it takes more than hunger and desire to win consistently and prove doubters wrong.Were putting the pieces together to head in that direction, but weve got a lot of things to work on, Garcon said. Indy wasnt Indy all in one year. It takes time, just like New England takes time. ... You just have to keep the pieces together and keep them working.Here are five things to watch for with the Redskins this season:TOUGH SKEDDING: After opening at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, the Redskins still have to visit the reigning NFC West-champion Arizona Cardinals and AFC North-champion Cincinnati Bengals and host the NFC-champion Carolina Panthers and NFC North-champion Minnesota Vikings. Six games against playoff teams, including a rematch against Green Bay, will test Washington all season.CHIP ON COUSINS SHOULDER: How does a quarterback who threw for 4,166 yards and 29 touchdowns with a league-best completion percentage of 69.8 get to feel underappreciated? When he doesnt have a long-term deal -- and Cousins will make $19.95 million on the franchise tag while trying to prove he deserves a major commitment.RUNNING OF THE JONES: With Alfred Morris in Dallas, Matt Jones will be relied on as the No. 1 running back, though undrafted rookie Robert Kelley could push for an increased workload after an impressive training camp. Jones missed much of the preseason with a shoulder injury that bears watching.RUSH HOUR: Linebacker Junior Galette will miss another season after tearing his other Achilles tendon, so its on Kerrigan, defensive end Chris Baker and others to improve the pass rush that was middle of the pack last year. Normans presence cant hurt in that department if hes as good as advertised.NORMAN THE TARGET: Normans performance will be watched closely because of his inflammatory offseason comments, his contract and huge expectations. No. 2 cornerback Bashaud Breeland may be just as good and has a chance to show it if quarterbacks avoid Norman at all costs.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNike Air Max 90 Clearance Sale .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

Chittagong Vikings 185 for 5 (Smith 69, Malik 63, Kamrul 2-29) beat Barisal Bulls 107 (Enamul 42*Nabi 3-16, Roy 2-16) by 78 runsScorecardMohammad Nabi led a solid bowling display by Chittagong Vikings, who bowled out Barisal Bulls for 107 to seal a 78-run win in their 2016-17 Bangladesh Premier League clash in Chittagong. This came after half-centuries from Dwayne Smith and Shoaib Malik powered Chittagong to 185 for 5 after they opted to make first use of the surface.Nabi took out the Barisal openers in the second over of the chase, and when he dismissed Jeevan Mendis in his next over, Barisal were reeling at 12 for 4. It wouldnt be long before Nabi would be in the thick of things again as he plucked a catch at deep midwicket to send back Mushfiqur Rahim, who had added 25 for the fifth wicket with Rayad Emrit. That Barisal got to 107 was down to Enamul Haques unbeaten 42 at No. 8. Enamul walked out with the score 37 for 6 - it would soon become 39 for 7 - and began a brief recovery through a 42-run eighth-wicket stand with Taijul Islam. That would make for scant compensation, however, as Barisal added 26 more for the last two wickets before folding in the 19th over. Enamul was left unbeaten on 42 off 37 balls. He had struck one four and four sixes.Nabi finished with 3 ffor 16 in three overs and had support all around.dddddddddddd Subashis Roy, who opened the bowling, and Taskin Ahmed were both economical and took two wickets each. Malik and Imran Khan, the left-arm medium pacer, took a wicket apiece.When Chittagong batted, they enjoyed a solid start from Tamim Iqbal, the captain, and Smith who put on 43 in 5.4 overs for the first wicket. Tamim struck a run-a-ball 19 before falling to the right-arm medium pace of Kamrul Islam Rabbi. It was then the turn of Anamul Haque to play second fiddle to Smith in a 39-run second-wicket partnership. Malik joined Smith in the 11th over and Chittagong biffed 103 runs in 58 balls during his stay. Smiths burst was ended by Thisara Perera in the 16th over when he was caught at deep midwicket for a 49-ball 69 that contained six fours and three sixes. But Malik ensured a strong finish for Chittagong as they slammed 55 runs in the last four overs. Malik fell off the final ball of the innings for a 30-ball 63. He pinged nine fours and two sixes.Kamrul took two wickets, as did Perera, although he leaked 37 runs in four overs. Emrit finished with 1 for 41 from his quota of overs. ' ' '
