EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Los Angeles Rams offense is still struggling, and Jeff Fisher is still sticking with Case Keenum as his starting quarterback for now.So, for all those calling for Jared Goff to finally get his chance, keep calm and remain patient.No, Im not going to go into a quarterback situation, Fisher said after the Rams 9-6 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. I dont believe its quarterback play. I think its collectively were making mistakes.Fisher insisted that hes not putting the struggles of the offense -- the Rams have 29 total points in their past three games -- on Keenums shoulders. He was then asked if changing quarterbacks might get the offense going.Well, its always a possibility when his time comes, Fisher said of Goff, this years No. 1 overall draft pick.But I think Case did a nice job. We didnt get the ball in the end zone, but he scrambled and picked up some key first downs and kept drives alive, and thats what youve got to do against a defense like that.Keenum went a ho-hum 17 of 30 for 165 yards, but had no turnovers after throwing eight interceptions in his previous four games. The talk this week as Los Angeles prepares to host Miami will inevitably be whether Goffs time will come sooner rather than later.I keep saying and Im going to keep saying this until he starts his first game, that hes improving, Fisher said. Hes a play away from going into the game and hes improving.The Jets quarterback situation remains uncertain after Bryce Petty made his first NFL start in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick, but couldnt get much going against the Rams defense.Petty, a fourth-round draft pick out of Baylor last year, went 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown, but was intercepted by Alec Ogletree with just under two minutes remaining to seal the Jets loss.Im not going to let this define my career, Petty said. Im not going to let this define me.Fitzpatrick was listed as questionable with a sprained left knee, suffered last weekend at Miami.After the game, coach Todd Bowles said Fitzpatrick wasnt completely healthy, although he was active for the game and served as Pettys backup, while rookie Christian Hackenberg was inactive.Bowles would not commit to who his starter would be in the Jets next game against New England in two weeks.Well evaluate that next week, Bowles said. Weve got the bye week to evaluate that and well see how Fitz feels. Well watch the film on Bryce and well make the determination next week.Here are other things to know from the Rams squeaker of a victory over the Jets:DEFENSE RAM TOUGHLos Angeles defense is holding up its end of the bargain, allowing only 26 points over the past three games.After New York got the ball with 2:55 remaining and down by three, Petty tried to lead the Jets down the field. But on second-and-7 from the 42, Pettys pass to Quincy Enunwa was picked off by Ogletree, who took it out of the receivers hands and Enunwa then tried to wrestle it away from the linebacker to no avail.I had that area of zone and I was playing the receiver, Ogletree said. I saw him throw the ball. We kind of tied up and I was able to rip it out from him and make the play.MISSED OPPORTUNITYPetty misfired on a long pass on third-and-14 from the Rams 32 that couldve been an easy touchdown in the closing minute of the first half, slightly overthrowing Robby Anderson, who was wide open but had to reach high as the ball tipped off his hand. It could have been a huge momentum changer heading into halftime.Ive got to hit that, Petty said. Ive got to make that as easy as possible. I wish I had that one back.SPECIAL SPECIAL TEAMERSWith the Rams offense struggling, their kickers continue to keep them in games.Greg Zuerlein provided all the offense against New York with three field goals. Meanwhile, Johnny Hekker averaged 51.7 yards on seven punts, including a booming 78-yarder -- fourth-longest in franchise history -- that flipped the field and helped lead to the winning score.Its like golf, Hekker said. You strike the ball and it goes. It felt pretty good.GURLEY STILL GROUNDEDTodd Gurley, last seasons Offensive Rookie of Year, still has yet to run for 100 yards in a game this season after rushing for 125 or more five times last season. He finished with 64 yards on 21 carries.Gurleys longest run of the season, 21 yards in the fourth quarter, was wiped out by Greg Robinsons holding penalty. But he rebounded with a decent performance after having just 10 yards on 10 carries at halftime.When we needed him, he came through, Keenum said. Thats what great players do in this league.TOUGH LOSSThe Jets 9-6 defeat was their first to a team that didnt score a TD since falling 9-0 to Green Bay in 2010 -- and only the ninth time it has happened in franchise history.---AP freelance writer Mike Farrell contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLPJ Tucker Jersey .

The research suggests the rule, which outlawed bodychecks aimed at the head and checking from a players blind side, has not led to lower concussion rates among pro hockey players since it came into force in the 2010-11 season. The senior author of the work said the league should take another crack at the rule change, noting that as it stands the wording is too subjective and gives referees leeway not to enforce it. "If player safety is the prime priority of the NHL in bringing this kind of rule in ... then they need to relook at this in a very serious way and adjust things," said Dr. Michael Cusimano, a neurosurgeon who heads the injury prevention research unit at Torontos St. Michaels Hospital. "If it isnt a priority, I could see them just leaving things the way they are and its kind of a Band-Aid response to a major problem." The NHL did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment on the article. And the NHL Players Association declined to comment because it hadnt had a chance to review the study. But another concussion expert applauded the work, saying Cusimano and his team had performed a service by exploring the impact of the rule change. Dr. Charles Tator, a brain surgeon with Toronto Western Hospital, said the changes lack of impact has an effect not just in the arenas of the National Hockey League, but on rinks where kids who dream of making it to the NHL some day emulate their professional heroes. "Professional hockey is still a bad influence on the amateurs," said Tator, who is project leader for the Canadian Sports Concussion Project at the Krembil Neuroscience Centre. The study was published Wednesday in the journal PLoS One. Cusimano and colleagues painstakingly put together data on reports of concussions and suspected concussions -- based on reports of symptoms -- from a variety of sources. Some of the information came from teams, others from media reports. The information was gathered for both the NHL and the Ontario Hockey League, which has stricter rules on checks to the head than the NHL does. The OHL rule penalizes any hit to the head of another player, intentional or unintentional. The data showed that there was no statistical significance in the incidence of concussions in the NHL in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons compared to the 2009-10 season. That latter was the year before the NHL rule change went into effect. The researchers estimated there were about 5.233 concussions per 100 games in the NHL regular season.dddddddddddd Despite its stiffer rule, the OHL didnt have markedly different concussion rates, clocking 5.05 per 100 games in the regular season. The analysis also showed that the type of hits outlawed by the NHL rule werent actually the major cause of concussions. About 28 per cent of interactions produced a concussion also generated a penalty call, said Cusimano. In that 28 per cent, the bulk of the penalties were for fighting. "And blindsiding, which was what the rule was initially was written about, was only 4.1 per cent of all those.... But four per cent of 28 per cent is a very small number." "I wasnt totally surprised, but I was disappointed that we werent able to show a difference," Cusimano said. "Part of its the way the rules written. Part of its the way the rule is enforced. Part of its the penalties associated with the rule. And part of it is that concussions are also coming from other causes like fighting, that is still allowed." The way the NHL rule is worded gives referees outs to avoid levying penalties for some of the hits, for instance in cases where players are deemed to have put themselves in a vulnerable position. "So its like his fault, because he put himself into a vulnerable position. And this highlights one of the major problems in sport and particularly in hockey these days. We victimize the victim even more, rather than looking at the game and the system and saying: What can we do to reduce these injuries?" Cusimano said. He suggested that if the league wants to get serious about protecting players, it has to raise the cost of concussion-inducing hits, both on the player who inflicts the injury, and on the team which sent him out to do it. If the player who sidelined Pittsburgh Penguin captain Sidney Crosby for a year was forced to spend as much time off the ice for the injury, the culture of teams might start to change, Cusimano suggested. "If there were more severe consequences to those who inflict that kind of injury -- lets say that player was out for an equal amount of time as Crosby -- that might have more impact," he said. Tator estimated that hockey has moved only about 10 per cent of the way down the path it would need to take to make the game safe for amateurs and professionals. "In terms of injury prevention, it isnt enough to enact regulations," he said. "The other half of the coin is enforcement. And if you really arent strictly enforcing a rule, the rule is going to be ineffective." ' ' '
