Good Morning: Rafa Nadal Is Coming For Federer’s Record

Rafael Nadal won his 13th title, beating Novak Djokovic in four sets. He called it the most emotional season he's had, returning from knee injury just seven months ago, winning two titles but crashing out of Wimbledon early. He is now certainly within reach of Roger Federer's mark of 17 titles.

 

Chip Kelly's high-tempo offense ran the Washington Redskins ragged in the first half, jumping out to a 19-point lead by halftime. Though RG3 and co. finally got it together in the second half, it wasn't enough to overcome the wide open receivers Mike Vick saw or the running lanes LeSean McCoy created in the first three quarters. The Eagles walked out of DC with a 33-27 win, as RG3 didn't get off to the best start.

 

The San Diego Chargers blew a 21 point lead in the second half as a mature Texans team came storming back to steal a 31-28 victory on the road  The confident Texans were led by QB Matt Schaub, who had 346 yards and three touchdowns, but Brian Cushing scored the game-tying touchdown with an 18-yard interception return that gave Houston all the momentum they needed.
