TAMPA, Fla. -- Steady one week, shaky the next.Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are learning how difficult it is to win consistently in the NFL.When you look around the league, thats sort of how the NFL is, coach Dirk Koetter said Monday.He was reflecting on a lopsided loss to Arizona that not only denied the teams bid to begin a season with consecutive wins for the first time since 2010, but will test the resiliency of Winston and a largely young supporting cast.On the heels of throwing for four touchdowns in a season-opening victory over NFC South rival Atlanta, the young quarterback tossed four interceptions and lost a fumble in Sundays 40-7 road debacle.The Cardinals had a disappointing loss, they came back and got after us pretty good. Look at the Rams, who we play this week, Koetter said, reiterating the importance of not allowing a poor performance to mushroom into another moving forward.The Rams lost 28-0 in their opener to the 49ers. They come back with a huge win against Seattle. The Falcons, who we beat last week, go on the road to the Raiders, who were a hot team, and play well enough to get a big win, Koetter said.We havent been tested yet this season in that department, but the fact that were coming into our own home stadium for our home opener, thats definitely going to be what were working for.The Bucs (1-1) have missed the playoffs eight consecutive seasons and havent won a postseason game since the teams 2002 Super Bowl run.A victory Sunday against the Rams (1-1) would give them a winning record beyond Week 2 for the first time since Tampa Bay got off to a surprising 3-1 start under former coach Raheem Morris six years ago.As a rookie in 2015, Winston keyed a 6-6 start before a four-game, season-ending skid led to the firing of Lovie Smith and promotion of Koetter from offensive coordinator to first-time NFL head coach.Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said its much too early to draw any conclusions about the way the team has performed through two games.It is the NFL though, that is why last week I said dont make a big deal out of just one win, the four-time Pro Bowl selection said.Anything can happen, but is it hard to see that this is one loss? No, because it is one loss. We are 1-1. It is what it is. We didnt play well ... and they played better.Winston, the NFLs offensive player of the week after the season-opening win at Atlanta, agreed.I had a game like this last year. The biggest ... lesson I can take away from this, like I said last week, this is a week-to-week thing, the second-year quarterback said.We cant sit and praise people because we won a game. We have to be consistent week in and week out. If theres something I need to do, I need to be more consistent.Veteran receiver Cecil Shorts III said rebounding begins with a good week of practice.You have to come in with an attitude, ready to go each and every day. What you do on the field in practice comes up on Sunday, Shorts said.Rookie defensive end Noah Spence, who notched his first pro sack against the Cardinals, detected a different vibe in the weight room on Monday.Everybodys like a lot more intense ... coming in, ready to get back to work, the second-round draft pick said.Obviously (Sundays) score was real humbling, Spence added. You win some, you lose some. But youve got to come back and fight the next week.NOTE: Koetter did not provide a detailed update on RB Doug Martin, who left Sundays game with a hamstring injury. The coach said the team will know more about the status after the fifth-year pro, the NFLs second-leading rusher last season, has a MRI on Tuesday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLSan Francisco 49ers Jerseys China .

He was optioned to Class A Visalia to begin this season.We havent really had the season that we wanted to, Arizona starter Robbie Ray said. Wins like these are huge.The Mets Kelly Johnson forced extra innings with a two-run homer in the ninth off closer Jake Barrett. The blown save was Barretts fourth in eight chances.I thought we were going to win the game, Collins said. I just thought with the momentum, the energy, I thought we were going to get a base hit and win the game. We just didnt do it.Johnsons blast was needed after Ray spun seven shutout innings, scattering three hits and striking out four. Ray was perfect until Ty Kellys fourth-inning single.Paul Goldschmidt went 2 for 4, driving in the first two Arizona runs, and Jean Segura and Chris Owings each had three hits.

Rivera, from nearby Throgs Neck in the Bronx, made his major league debut at third base in front of about 30 friends and family members. He picked up his first big league hit in the tenth and handled all of his chances in the field.I think after I got my first hit, it kind of felt like, OK, a lot of weight comes off, Rivera said.Randall Delgado (3-1) pitched two perfect innings for the win.TRAINING ROOMMets: INF Jose Reyes (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Class A Brooklyn on Thursday. His assignment had been delayed because the switch-hitter was still having trouble swinging from the right side, general manager Sandy Alderson said on Tuesday.CAPTAIN AMERICA IS GENEROUS TOOInjured Mets star David Wright made sure that those closest to Rivera were close by when the infielder made his debut.
