REGINA -- Kory Sheets may need to borrow Geroy Simons cape. After the Roughriders tailback put Saskatchewan ahead for good on a three-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, he celebrated by striking his teammates familiar Superman pose in the end zone. Sheets finished the game with a career-high 133 yards on 26 carries as the Roughriders (2-0) became the only unbeaten team in the CFL with a 36-21 win over the Calgary Stampeders (1-1) at Mosaic Stadium. Simon, the Roughriders much-hyped off-season acquisition, missed his second straight game with an injured leg. "I was just doing that as a tribute to my man," said Sheets. "I told him, Hey, Im going to draw the box and hit the Superman pose if I score." Sheets stated in the lead-up to the game that he felt he was already the best running back in the game, despite having finished nearly 200 yards back of Calgarys Jon Cornish, the league leader with 1,457 in 2012. He let his play do the talking Friday, even after Cornish was held to 42 yards on eight carries. "Were going to see them two more times and possibly three more times in the playoffs, and its a long season so Im not going to say Im happy about doing better than him tonight because he could do better than me next time," said Sheets, who never went for more than 18 yards on a single rush. Sheets had plenty of help, most notably from slotback Weston Dressler who topped all Riders receivers with an effort that began on Saskatchewans opening drive when he caught three passes for 33 yards. Dressler caught a bullet over the middle from quarterback Darian Durant for a 28-yard touchdown in the second quarter and drew a 31-yard pass interference penalty on Calgary linebacker Jonathan Hefney in the fourth quarter that set up Sheets go-ahead score. "Weve got plenty of guys that can make plays so youve just got to be ready for when your opportunity comes," said Dressler, who finished with 10 catches for 108 yards. "Whether its two, three times a game or nine, 10 times a game youve got to be ready for it and youve got to come through when the ball comes your way." It was a tough game for Hefney who was burned earlier in the game with the Stampeders leading 14-11. Saskatchewan slotback Chris Getzlaf outran Hefney for a 32-yard reception in the second quarter and overwhelmed him again on the next play for another nine yards. That led to a 36-yard field goal from Chris Milo, his second of four in the game. Milo also connected from 15, 38 and 29 yards. "When our offensive line is playing as good as they are, youre getting holes, Kory Sheets is running the ball, when all that is going well it makes it really hard to cover the pass game because the (line)backers have to be involved," said Getzlaf. "They have to respect the run game." The seven-year veteran added a 15-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter that put the Riders up 35-21. Getzlaf finished with eight catches for 97 yards. "Hes a guy that I hope that has a very good season," said Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin. "I think he deserves it. "Hes taken a lot of criticism here and there and some of its warranted but at the end of the day hes a guy that I want to see turn into an all-star superstar in this league because hes got the potential to do that." Stampeders quarterback Drew Tate was deadly accurate for most of the game, completing 19-of-25 passes for 231 yards before giving way to Kevin Glenn with five minutes to play. Tate tossed second-quarter touchdowns to Rob Cote and Joe West, and Marquay McDaniel ran in from seven yards out on the games opening drive, as Calgary built a 21-14 lead by halftime. But things came unravelled in the second half. The Stamps were forced to punt on four straight offensive possessions and took a trio of defensive penalties in the fourth quarter that either extended Saskatchewan drives or led directly to Roughriders touchdowns. The Hefney pass interference call was followed by a too-many-men penalty and an unnecessary roughness flag, both of which gave the Riders a fresh set of downs. "We added some veterans and theyre a little bit more mature," said Chamblin. "I think those guys finished and they never panicked when they were down. "They understand that its about 60 minutes in the CFL and they understand the ups and downs of it." Durant played the entire game for Saskatchewan, going 26-for-34 for 258 yards. Glenn went 4-for-7 for 41 yards in relief of Tate and threw an interception to Macho Harris on the final play of the game. Both teams will meet East Division rivals for the first time in Week 3, with the Roughriders in Toronto on Thursday to face the Argonauts and the Stampeders in Montreal on Friday to face the Alouettes. Before the game, the Roughriders honoured four alumni who passed away during the off-season: Jack Gotta, Bryan Illerbrun, Grey Cup-winning coach Eagle Keys and Len Legault.

Nike EXP-X14 Sale . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual.

DAVIE, Fla. -- With the Miami Dolphins desperate to make a game-clinching stop in the closing minutes, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh moved around from snap to snap, even sliding his 305-pound frame to end for one play.The final series, I was all over the field, Suh said.That he was, flushing quarterback Colin Kaepernick out of the pocket on the last play Sunday and then running him down from behind 2 yards short of the goal line as time expired to give Miami a 31-24 victory.Suhs a four-time Pro Bowl tackle who almost always gets double-teamed, so the Dolphins are doing what they can to free him up. And hes doing what he can to make the strategy work.Along with his normal left tackle position, he lined up at right end and even middle linebacker against the 49ers. Typically impassive, Suh grins when talking about how the Dolphins are making the most of his talents.Within the scheme, within the situation, we find the right time to switch, Suh said. I dont really want to give you the ins and outs of why I do it. But yes, I have opportunities where I can put myself in a particular place.It comes from the trust and confidence your coaches have with you, and them agreeing and seeing the things that you can do.Left unsaid is that it wasnt that way last year, Suhs first with Miami, when the team went 6-10 and his impact went largely unnoticed. Suh clearly relishes his revised role under first-year head coach Adam Gase and new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.Vance is one of those great coaches that allows his players to find ways to be successful, Suh said. He gives us freedom within the scheme.On the final series last week, for example, Suh said he came up with the idea of lining opposite left tackle Joe Staley on one play.There was a conversation on the sideline, and I was allowed to go and do that, he said.Joseph said hes receptive to such suggestions because Suhs a consummate pro who understands the game. The Dolphins plan for rushing the passer is based on Suh beccause hes always the focus of the opponents blocking scheme, Joseph said.ddddddddddddEvery week, we try to do one thing different for him just to get him off the double-teams, Joseph said. Its usually on pass rush downs. He enjoys it, obviously, and it helps us win.Suhs unit hasnt been dominant, ranking 20th in yards allowed and 30th against the run. The Dolphins gave up a season-high 475 yards against the woeful 49ers.But the bottom line is that Miami (7-4) has six consecutive victories heading into Sundays game at Baltimore.Unfortunately this is the NFL, and were going to have bad times, Suh said. Were going to give up plays. We want to be able to squash it and get an answer to the problem very quickly. Communication is key, and obviously its up to us as players to go out there and implement.Suh made the video highlights with his victory-clinching play last week, but often his contribution is difficult to measure as he draws two and even three blockers. His 51 tackles and five sacks may look like modest totals, but he ranks in the top three in both categories among interior defensive linemen.Joseph rates Suhs impact comparable to flashier defenders, such as Denvers four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller.He has been a dominant force for us inside -- run and pass game alike, Joseph said. Hes not going to have Von Millers numbers, but for us, hes Von Miller. Hes that important to us.The coaching staff also praises Suhs relentless effort, which was evident on the final play last week.When you get double-teamed all game, Im sure thats got to be frustrating, Gase said. And he never wavers.Thats the case wherever Suh lines up.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
