JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After another subpar performance by quarterback Blake Bortles and receiver Allen Robinson, the Jacksonville Jaguars put them in a room so they could get on the same page.It was a clear reaction to Robinsons increased aggravation, Bortles continued inaccuracy and a seven-game losing streak that mostly can be blamed on the teams offensive failures.I think both of them are frustrated, obviously, because theyre not getting the numbers that they had last year and obviously the wins arent coming, so I think they feel that they both can help this team so much, but they have to get on the same page, offensive coordinator Nate Hackett said Thursday.I think its one of those things is the more they talk, the more theyre together. I think its just going to keep their relationship going and allow them to get to where they were last year.Bortles threw 35 touchdown passes in 2015, 14 of them to Robinson.Bortles set several team records and looked like a franchise quarterback. Robinson was his go-to guy, finishing with 1,400 yards and making the Pro Bowl in his second season.Its been a struggle since.Bortles has clearly regressed , his sloppy mechanics leading to poor footwork and bad throws weekly. He has 20 touchdowns and a league-high 19 turnovers for the Jaguars (2-10), who host the Minnesota Vikings (6-6) on Sunday.Robinson has 56 receptions for 622 yards and six scores. But he has eight catches for 73 yards and a touchdown in the past three games, and the Jaguars have gone more than a month without a play gaining at least 30 yards.A second-round draft pick from Penn State in 2014, Robinson averaged 17.5 yards a catch last season and had 13 receptions of at least 30 yards. Hes averaging 11.1 yards a catch this season and has just one reception of at least 30 yards.Robinsons dissatisfaction became obvious in a 20-10 loss at Denver on Sunday. He ripped off his helmet and starting yelling at an official after a failed fourth down conversion early in the fourth quarter.Robinson thought he was interfered with on the play, but no flags were thrown.Robinson vented after the game, too, mocking the amazing officiating and adding that hes never been this frustrated playing the game of football in my life.A day later, Robinson and Bortles were hashing out their problems with Hackett.Its hard because its frustrating, Bortles said. I know he gets unbelievably frustrated with everything going on as am I.Both of us have a respect for each other and we both have rooted for each other and I think are on the same page, but I think there comes a time and a point where we need to sit down and just talk about it. And not in a negative way at all, lets just find out a way to get on the same page so we can make plays.Robinson declined to discuss specifics of the meeting Thursday, saying thats between me, Blake and Nate.Theres surely no one person to blame for Jacksonvilles yearlong offensive woes. No doubt, Bortles has been the main issue.But coach Gus Bradley fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson in late October because he was unhappy with the teams commitment to the run game, and Robinson has bobbled three passes that resulted in interceptions.We want those connections to happen and I think weve just got to continue to work and just continue to play, Hackett said.I think both of them press because they care so much. Its almost like their biggest weakness. They care so much and they want to be good so bad and they just want to take it to another level that its almost sometimes they press a little too much instead of just playing and going out there and doing what they both do well.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Ultra Boost Uk . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- The fourth time, in a field of four, was the charm for Johnny Sauter.Sauter won the inaugural Chase in the Camping World Truck Series with a strong third-place finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He beat Matt Crafton, Christopher Bell and Timothy Peters in a race in which the highest finisher among the four drivers would win the championship.For Sauter, who finished fourth in the standings the past three years, the format produced his first career NASCAR championship. He did it in his first year with GMS Racing after leaving Thorsport Racing.I think a lot of people questioned that move, Sauter said of his move to the young race team.He wasnt sure he had a strong enough truck to get to the front until the last segment of the race.With 50, 60 [laps] to go, I was like, We really got something here and I started picking people off, he said. Im just a small part of this deal. The whole team executed flawlessly tonight.The 38-year-old has had a career year driving the No. 21 Chevrolet for GMS Racing. He won three races, had 12 top-five finishes and a dominant run in the Chase. Sauter won back-to-back races at Martinsville and Texas, and was runner-up at Phoenix last week. Sauters 13 career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victories tie him for 11th most all-time in series history.Crew chief Joe Shear Jr. moved to GMS Racing to work with Sauter, and the pairing delivered a title.I knew they had all the pieces in the puzzle, I knew it was a great fit or I wouldnt have done it, Shear said. Its just unbelievable. This is the greatest thing in the world.William Byron won the race -- his seventh victory of the season -- to wrap up the owner championship for Kyle Busch Motorsports. It was bitterswweet because it likely should have been Byron celebrating the driver title.ddddddddddddByron was headed toward the win last weekend at Phoenix that would have put him in the final four, but his engine blew in the closing laps. He was eliminated from title contention after the failure.It feels awesome. Its incredible, Byron said of the win. This team has worked hard all year. Just had an unfortunate situation last week that we couldnt control.Busch collected the championship trophy for the second consecutive year and fifth overall.Such a spectacular season by William Bryon, they were flawless, all the way up until Phoenix, Busch said.Tyler Reddick, driving his final race for Brad Keselowski, finished second. Hes moving to an Xfinity Series ride next year for Chip Ganassi.Kyle Larson finished fourth, but led a race-high 76 laps.Crafton, a two-time Truck Series champion, was denied a third title after finishing seventh. He and Sauter waged a decent battle for position during the race, but a poor final run cost Crafton.I kind of figured it was a matter of time. We were just really bad on that last run for whatever reason, he said.Bell finished eighth in trying to win the driver title for Busch.Overall, it wasnt really our year, he said. Just wasnt quite good enough all year long.Timothy Peters was ninth and the lowest-finishing driver of the title contenders.Hey, all in all, we said in the beginning of Daytona that we wanted a shot, Peters said. We had that down here, and we came up just a little bit short. We know what we need to do over the offseason, and cant wait for Daytona. ' ' '
