JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Theyve been dubbed The A-Team, a fitting nickname for more reasons than the obvious.Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson are one of the best receiving duos in the NFL. They might even be the best in Jacksonville Jaguars history, better than that other tandem that started giving defenses fits two decades ago.I have the same feelings about those guys that our fans do, said retired Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith, a five-time Pro Bowl selection. We are all hopeful that these guys are the second coming. Lets get it right, though: I dont want these guys breaking my records, but I want them to win. Im sure Keenan (McCardell) feels the same way.Smith and McCardell have plenty of breathing room in the record books -- at least for now. But if 2015 was any indication, Hurns and Robinson will end up holding many of Jacksonvilles receiving marks by the end of their careers.Hurns caught 64 passes for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns in his second season. The Jaguars rewarded him with a four-year, $40.6 million contract extension that included $20 million guaranteed.Robinson was even better, notching 80 receptions for 1,400 yards and 14 scores. Robinson set a franchise record for TDs by a receiver and made the Pro Bowl in his second year.Jacksonville hadnt had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2005.So what will they do for an encore?The Jaguars arent even sure, but they wont be surprised by anything. After all, Hurns and Robinson were the most accomplished receiver combination aged 24 or younger in NFL history last season.The work ethic and the want-to attitude for those two guys is unbelievable, quarterback Blake Bortles said. They obviously hear all of the hype and all of this stuff about each other and about themselves individually, and it does not bother them one bit. They come to work every day and want to get better, want to be a part of this team and want to make us successful.Its impressive and fun to be around every day.The A-Team has individual strengths, too.Hurns, signed as an undrafted rookie from Miami in 2014, is durable, dependable and versatile. Hes missed just one game in two years, dropped one pass last season, and plays from the slot as well as he does outside.You can run a lot of different routes and you get great, great matchups, Hurns said.Robinson, a second-round pick from Penn State in 2014, has freakish athletic skills, including the ability to make circus catches near the sideline and outjump defenders downfield.Hes unbelievable, Bortles said. He has a mind and a motor that doesnt stop, and even though he put up good numbers last year, he is going to continue to work his tail off and wants to be better each and every year. He is a guy you love playing with, and I definitely love to throw it to him because he is a playmaker.Other things to know about the Jaguars before they open the season Sunday against Green Bay:BETTER BORTLES? Bortles ranked second in the NFL (behind Tom Brady) with 35 TD passes last season, but he also led the league in fumbles (14), interceptions (18) and sacks (51). So theres plenty of room for growth. The third-year starter spent a week in California working with mechanics guru Tom House and believes being in the same scheme for a second straight year will help. The numbers and stuff that we were able to put up were great, but I didnt think we did it consistently, he said.DEFENSE SPENDING: After firing coordinator Bob Babich and promoting Todd Wash to replace him, the Jaguars spent more than $125 million in free agency on Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson and Prince Amukamara, and used the teams first four drafts picks on that side of ball. It was a massive makeover to one of the leagues worst units. Now, the Jags have the second-highest paid defense in the league and raised expectations. One concern: Theyre counting on Dante Fowler Jr., who missed his rookie season because of a knee injury, and rookie Yannick Ngakoue to generate a consistent pass rush.WOE LINE: Jacksonville allowed an NFL-high 122 sacks the last two years, a glaring weakness on an improving offense. The team believes Brandon Linder returning from a shoulder injury and moving to center will solidify things up front. But the big concern is the left side, where offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum is coming off knee surgery, and Luke Joeckel has little experience at guard.FANTASY WATCH: Bortles, Hurns and Robinson are Jacksonvilles top fantasy plays, but tight end Julius Thomas and running back Chris Ivory should be viable options. Thomas is healthy again after missing much of last season with a broken bone and torn tendon in his right hand. And Ivory, a 1,000-yard rusher for the Jets in 2015, is expected to be the teams short-yardage and goal-line back.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Anthony Davis Lakers Jersey .

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Mike Zunino hit his first career home run on a tiebreaking solo shot in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners held on for a 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. Two days after making his big league debut, Zunino connected on a 1-1 pitch from Oakland starter Tommy Milone (6-6) and hit a towering shot to centre field to help snap Oaklands 11-game home winning streak. Raul Ibanez added two hits and an RBI for the Mariners, while Joe Saunders (5-6) allowed five hits over seven innings for his first road victory of the season. Chris Young homered and had three hits but the As, coming off an 18-inning win against the New York Yankees, couldnt get much else going. The Mariners had lost five of eight before beating the division-leading As to begin a seven-game road trip. They did it behind a steady offence -- every starter but Kendrys Morales had at least one hit -- and a stellar effort from Saunders. The Seattle left-hander struck out four and walked two, pitching out of jams in the second, third and seventh. Saunders had been winless in his six previous starts away from Safeco Field and had a 9.00 ERA on the road before handcuffing the As. Danny Farquhar pitched the eighth and allowed Youngs homer, and Oliver Perez worked the ninth for his first career save. Perez was in the closers role after Seattle manager Eric Wedge decided to go with a by-committee approach following Tom Wilhelmsens recent struggles. Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the second when Mike Morse doubled and scored on Zuninos double-play grounder. Morse had been in a 2-for-18 slump. The Mariners defence gave Saunders a lift when Oaklands Nate Freiman was thrown out at home trying to score from second on a single by Derek Norris in the bottom of the second before the As tied it in the fifth.dddddddddddd. Adam Rosales reached on a fielders choice grounder and scored when Seattle second baseman Nick Franklin and right fielder Jason Bay bumped into each other chasing Eric Sogards fly ball. Franklin appeared to make the catch but Bays glove hit Franklins and the ball popped out and rolled away as Rosales circled the bases. Sogard was credited with an RBI double. Milone pitched into the seventh but left following Zuninos homer and a two-out throwing error by shortstop Jed Lowrie. He struck out four and walked three. Franklin singled leading off the eighth against As reliever Dan Otero and scored on Ibanezs two-out sharp liner that skipped off Freiman into right field line to make it 3-1. Young, batting in the leadoff spot for the first time this season while Coco Crisp rested his bruised right heel, homered off Farquhar to make it 3-2. Notes: Wilhemsen has a team-leading 16 saves but allowed five earned runs in his last outing on Wednesday. ... Oakland 3B Josh Donaldson was also rested a day after suffering a leg strain. ...
