Derek Carr spoils Jon Gruden's return to coaching in the NFL

Maybe, just maybe, Jon Gruden still knows what he's doing. Instead, a mad genius seemed to emerge during his first game as a head coach since the 2008 campaign, only to be ruined by the play of quarterback Derek Carr.

The Oakland Raiders are far from perfect. Monday's 33-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum said as much. But Gruden's squad proved to be far more competitive than expected and didn't look like a complete disaster.

It's not a high bar, one earned after months of mystifying decisions.

Gruden is the personification of the NFL's counterculture after signing a 10-year, $100 million contract to return to the Raiders organization.

At his NFL Scouting Combine press conference, the coach, who left the sidelines nine years earlier to join the trying to throw the game back to 1998" when asked about analytics usage, per the Monday Night Football booth, joked about " Las Vegas Review-Journal's Michael Gehlken.

Oakland's approach to free agency turned the coach's comments into something more than a joking matter as the franchise undertook a George Allen-esque retooling, making its roster the league's oldest, according to the Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski.

These moves became appetizers for the entree: trading the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Khalil Mack, to the Chicago Bears. Oakland's return on the deal is immaterial because it moved an elite performer in his prime at a premium position just nine days before the start of the regular season.

Gruden serves as the organization's shot-caller, and he didn't help matters when he stated during an ESPN interview aired Monday, "Obviously, Khalil Mack didn't want to play here."

All of this built over weeks and pointed toward a coach who lost touch with the modern game. Yet the Raiders came prepared to face one of the NFL's best teams to open the season. Eventually, the Rams' talent overwhelmed them, but not without a fight.

During the first half, Oakland looked like a completely different team compared the squad that finished 5-11 a year ago.

Gruden's play-calling doesn't seem to have faded, either. The coach allowed his talented offensive line to take over by implementing a physical, downhill rushing attack that further accentuated Marshawn Lynch, and Beast Mode took over to score the game's initial touchdown with a Juggernaut-like determination:

HOW?! BEASTMODE carries the WHOLE defense into the end zone! #LARvsOAK #RaiderNation https://t.co/KF12UVZ9jQ

The Raiders offensive line went toe-to-toe with the Rams defensive front and didn't blink despite staring at Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers. Los Angeles managed one sack, and Donald didn't even register a quarterback hit.

The game plan worked for the first 30 minutes. Gruden utilized tempo, spread looks and misdirection to complement his traditional West Coast passing attack. Getting the ball into the hands of playmakers served as the primary goal.

In one area, the Raiders were wildly successful. Tight end Jared Cook-one of 15 players on the roster at least 30 years old-set or tied career highs with nine receptions for 180 yards. Cook proved to be too much for the Rams safeties and linebackers to handle.

Also, the early portions of the game saw Carr get the ball out of his hand quickly and decisively.

Oakland led 13-10 going into the third quarter before everything started to crumble. The deficiencies still found in the Raiders roster began to show.

Bruce Irvin and Co. generated one sack and another quarterback hit. That's it. Jared Goff had all night to throw, and the only sack came from the quarterback drifting backward into Irvin after holding the ball too long. The rookie triumvirate of Maurice Hurst, P.J. Hall and Arden Key made little to no impact. The lack of a pass rush will likely haunt the Raiders throughout the season.

Even so, Carr's disappointing performance is the most disheartening aspect of the loss. Raiders owner Mark Davis made Carr a $125 million quarterback in the 2017 offseason, and his play didn't come close to reaching his worth.

All three of Carr's interceptions can be placed directly at the quarterback's feet. He underthrew Cook near the end zone, and safety John Johnson came down with the ball.

In the second half, Donald collapsed the pocket, Carr threw a lollipop off his back foot with no receiver in sight and linebacker Cory Littleton easily intercepted the pass. Finally, the quarterback made the right read and tried to lead his tight end only to throw the ball into Marcus Peters' waiting arms, which turned into a pick-six.

Carr managed 303 passing yards yet barely acknowledged his weapons at wide receiver. Amari Cooper, Jordy Nelson and Seth Roberts combined to make five catches for 43 yards.

"We called their numbers," Gruden said after the game, per the San Jose Mercury News' Matt Schneidman. "We tried."

The 55-year-old coach is famously tough on his starting quarterback, and Carr described the challenges, or lack thereof, working with his new head coach in July on the Jim Rome Show:
"We are so similar. It's so funny. When he was going to be a coach, the No. 1 question was like, 'How are you guys going to get along?' And both of us would just sit there and laugh together. ... We love football. We want to win. We love to compete. We love to demand from one another. I demand from him, he demands from me. I'm in his ear every day, 'What do you have for me today?' 'What are you teaching me today?' And he's in there pushing me. I can complete in practice-go 30 for 31, we'll spend an hour talking about that one I missed and how it can be the difference in a game. And that's exactly how I want it."
The two are going to have plenty to talk about this week since Carr's decision-making and overall performance weren't good enough.

"Losses with Coach Gruden feel a little bit different than they've ever felt before," Carr said, per Schneidman.

Does this mean the Raiders would have won if their quarterback didn't make as many mental mistakes? Probably not.

However, solid play at the game's most important position, a roster that can compete and a coach embracing modern offensive elements will make the Raiders a tough out against any opponent. They showed exactly that for two quarters Monday night.

The Rams are a better team right now. That's OK, since the Raiders don't seem to be hopelessly lost with Gruden leading the way.

The hiker who went missing on Mount Hood in late August and was found dead at the bottom of a ravine Monday was likely killed by a cougar

The hiker who went missing on Mount Hood in late August and was found dead at the bottom of a ravine Monday was likely killed by a cougar, authorities said -- a shocking twist in the missing persons case.

The body of Diana Bober, 55, was found Monday at the bottom of a 200-foot embankment on the famous Oregon mountain's Hunchback Trail, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

Bober was last seen on Aug. 29 when she went for a hike on the trail. Her backpack was found by two hikers on the following day and her car was left in a parking lot at the base of the mountain.

Craig Roberts, Clackamas County sheriff, made the surprising announcement at a press conference later in the day that Bober was likely killed by a wild cougar, also known as a mountain lion or puma.

"She was discovered deceased on a hiking trail about two miles from the Zigzag ranger station on Sept. 10," Roberts said. "I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Bober family and friends for their loss.

"I want to tell you Diana Bober's autopsy was today, it was determined she died of an apparent animal attack," he explained. "Her injuries are indicative of what experts say was probably a cougar. We're waiting for final confirmation of what type of animal was responsible for this attack."

Bober said the fatal attack was the first on record by a cougar in the state.

AP

"Because this is an unprecedented event in Oregon we don't believe that the threat to the public that's posed by cougars is any greater today than it was yesterday," Brian Wolfer, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's watershed manager, said. "However, we don't know and can't quantify the threat that this particular animal may pose to the public."

The Hunchback Trail has been closed to hikers as a precaution.

Wolfer said about 6,600 cougars live in the state, and reports of them threatening livestock or pets are common, but human attacks are unheard of. Authorities continue to search for the animal. Male cougars can grow to be 120 to 200 pounds and generally hunt deer, elk, hares and wild birds, like turkeys.

Bober is the second person in the Northwest to die in a cougar attack this year. A cougar killed a mountain biker in North Bend, Washington, in May, and mauled a second rider.

Officials killed that mountain lion following the attack.

The Pentagon is investing $2 billion into artificial intelligence

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Pentagon's high-tech research agency laid the groundwork for the Internet, stealth aircraft and self-driving cars. Now, it's going big on artificial intelligence.

At its 60th anniversary conference on Friday, DARPA announced a $2 billion investment to push the frontier of AI forward.

"We think it's a good time to seed the field of AI," John Everett, the deputy director of DARPA's Information Innovation Office, told CNNMoney. "We think we can accelerate two decades of progress into five years."

Artificial intelligence, which lets machines perform tasks traditionally done by humans, is a trendy topic in technology and business circles. For example, Google recently delighted and alarmed observers when it showed how an AI system could call a restaurant and book a reservation while sounding entirely human.

Breakthroughs in the last decadehave inspired companies to recruit top AI talent away from academia. Machines are now much more accurate at recognizing speech, understanding images and processing words, leading to products such as Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Waymo's self-driving vans.

The country's biggest and most innovative companies rely on it to stay ahead of competitors.Waymo's autonomous vehicles have driven more than 9 million miles on US roads thanks to artificial intelligence.

National governments, such as Canada, China, India and France, are prioritizing AI now too.They view artificial intelligence as essential to growing their economies in the 21st century. Most notably, China has said it wants to be the global leader by 2030.

DARPA's investment will focus on creating systems with common sense, contextual awareness and better energy efficiency. Advances could help the government automate security clearances, accredit software systems and make AI systems that explain themselves.

But the industry has a hype problem, too. Machine learning relies on algorithms that learn from huge data sets. A computer might be shown millions of pictures of cats, and over time, it will recognize when another photo includes a cat. But these AI systems often require thousands of computer chips processing data for weeks before they learn something.

"Machine learning is remarkably inefficient," Everett said. "It can do amazing things, but it's also remarkable what it can't do."

For example, a next wave of artificial intelligence is required to support advanced in-home robots. Ask a robot to "pick up the living room," and it won't know what that means, Everett said. It will struggle identifying which items need to be picked up, and which don't.

DARPA wants to embrace AI methods that are similar to how humans learn. And sometimes, a human can learn something from watching a single example.

The agency may ultimately invest even more money into the development of AI, Everett said.

"If we get positive results and they're important, and they're relevant to the military and national security, we're not going to stop," he said.

Hurricane Florence: The Category 4 storm has its sights set on the Carolinas.

Track the storm: The hurricane is expected to approach the Southeastern US coast on Thursday. You can track it here.

The next forecast: Officials will release an updated forecast at 5 p.m. ET. We'll update here as soon as we know more.

How are you preparing? Text, iMessage or WhatsApp your videos, photos and stories to CNN: +1 347-322-0415.

Brock Long, the top official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, urged residents in the path of Hurricane Florence to heed all warnings.

The Category 4 storm, he said, is "setting out to be a devastating event." Federal authorities are concerned about the storm surge, which he said has triggered evacuation orders.

Long added:

"I think the expectation needs to be set with the citizens in this area that if you have been asked to leave, get out of the areas that are going to flood and get into a facility that can with stand the winds. Let's set the expectations as well. This has an opportunity of being a very devastating storm. The power will be off for weeks. You're going to be displaced from your home in coastal areas. There will be flooding in the inland areas as well."

Watch:

President Trump said Tuesday he expected Congress to approve funds for disaster relief following landfall of Hurricane Florence on the Atlantic coast.

"We'll go to Congress. Congress will be very generous," Trump said in the Oval Office.

He said the costs would not impede recovery efforts during or after the storm.

"I think that any amounts of money, whatever it takes, we're going to do," Trump said.

President Trump just had a meeting with Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials as Hurricane Florence continues to barrel toward the East Coast.

The President said the US is "ready as anybody has ever been" for the storm.

"The safety of American people is my absolute highest priority. We are sparing no expense. We are totally prepared. We're ready," he said. "We're as ready as anybody has ever been."

Trump added that this hurricane will be "a very large one, far larger than we've seen in perhaps decades."

"Again, they haven't seen anything like what's coming at us in 25, 30 years. Maybe ever," Trump said.

Hurricane Florence is a currently a Category 4 storm, but it may continue to fluctuate in intensity as it moves closer to landfall.

Here's why categories matter: Meteorologists use the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to measure a hurricane's strength.

The system divides storms into five categories:

Category 1: Winds 74 to 95 mph (Minor damage)

Category 2: Winds 96 to 110 mph (Extensive damage - Can uproot trees and break windows)

Category 3: Winds 111 to 129 mph (Devastating - Can break windows and doors)

Category 4: Winds 130 to 156 mph (Catastrophic damage - Can tear off roofs)

Category 5: Winds 157 mph or higher (The absolute worst and can level houses and destroy buildings)

This animation shows what each category of storm is like:

South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice is not sticking around for Hurricane Florence to make landfall.

The Republican lawmaker plans on leaving the evacuation zone because of the dangers the storm could bring. He's hoping others will do the same.

"This is a massive, powerful, destructive, devastating beast and it is headed right at us," Rice said, while speaking to CNN in Myrtle Beach.
Watch more:

Jim Darling and his parrot, Maximus, are planning to ride out the massive Category 4 storm, which is expected to hit the Carolinas Thursday.

"I'd rather just be at home, then stuck in a hotel somewhere," he told CNN on Tuesday while he was out shopping for supplies in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

State and local authorities are urging residents to leave some coastal areas before the dangerous storm makes landfall.

Despite the warnings, Darling, who's originally from Boston, said he faced worse storms in the past and was prepared to hunker down at his home. He stocked up on water, batteries, food and milk ahead of Hurricane Florence.

"I am not really worried about it. I won't be calling anybody to help me out anyhow, I can take care of it myself," he said.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just released an updated forecast for Hurricane Florence.

Parts of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia remain under a hurricane watch.

The next update will come at 5 p.m. ET. You can also track the hurricane with CNN's storm tracker.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, while announcing mandatory evacuations for the state's barrier islands, urged residents to heed the orders.

"This storm is a monster," he said. "Even if you've ridden out storms before, this one is different. Don't bet your life on riding out a monster."

He continued: "The time to hope Hurricane Florence away is gone."
Watch more:

Approximately 1,473,340 people wereunder mandatory evacuation orders in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, ahead of Hurricane Florence.

This does not include what are likely large tourist numbers as well.

Here's a breakdown for each state:

North Carolina: 193,661 residents are currently under mandatory evacuation orders.

South Carolina: Five counties currently under mandatory evacuation. That's approximately 1,039,679 residents.

Virginia: Portion of Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk are under mandatory evacuation, which is about 240,000 residents, according to state officials.

Authorities say a dead hiker whose body was recovered this week was likely killed by a cougar, marking the first fatal attack by a wild cougar in Oregon and the second in the Pacific Northwest this year

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
PORTLAND, Ore. - Authorities say a dead hiker whose body was recovered this week was likely killed by a cougar, marking the first fatal attack by a wild cougar in Oregon and the second in the Pacific Northwest this year.

Search and rescue teams found the body of Diana Bober, 55, on Monday off a trail in the Mount Hood National Forest in Welches, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of Portland. Her body was several miles from where searchers found her car last week near a ranger station.

Bober, an avid hiker who often trekked in the Mount Hood and Columbia River Gorge area, was last heard from by family and friends on Aug. 29. She was reported missing on Friday and it's still unclear when she started her hike, said Sgt. Brian Jensen of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.

Her body had injuries consistent with a cougar attack and a medical examiner ruled out the possibility that she was mauled after she died of another cause, Jensen said. DNA samples collected at the scene were being flown by the Oregon State Police to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service laboratory for further analysis, he said.

Authorities warned a local school district of the attack and advised other hikers to stay out of the area.

Oregon wildlife officials are attempting to find and kill the animal, he said.

"This is an unprecedented event in Oregon," said Brian Wolfer, watershed manager for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. "We don't know what risk it poses to the public."

Cougar sightings are relatively common in Oregon, particularly in more rural areas, but Bober's death appears to be the first fatal attack.

There are about 6,600 cougars - also called commonly called mountain lions or pumas - throughout Oregon. State wildlife officials get about 400 complaints about the animals each year, according to authorities.

Cougars can be killed by landowners or law enforcement officials when they pose a threat to human safety or cause damage to livestock or agricultural crops. They also can be hunted.

Over the past decade, about 20 cougars have been killed each year in the wildlife management area where Bober's body was found.

In May, a mountain biker in Washington state was killed by a cougar on a trail east of Seattle, the first fatal attack in that state in 94 years.

Hurricane Florence has reached a surprising 83 foot high waves as it barrels toward the east coast. Forecasters predict it will hit land late Thursday night.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hurricane Florence's potentially devastating winds are generating enormous waves as high as 83 feet as it continues to make its way toward the East Coast and insurers predict it will become the costliest such storm to ever hit the continental U.S.

The National Hurricane Center said Wednesday the massive waves were produced by being trapped along with very strong winds moving in the same direction of the storm's motion. The center said the waves were measured by satellite.
HURRICANE FLORENCE'S PATH: TRACK THE STORM HERE
As of 11 a.m., the Category 4 storm was about 485 miles southeast of Wilmington, N.C., and moving northwest at about 15 mph. The hurricane's maximum sustained winds were at 130 mph.

Forecasters predict the storm will make landfall late Thursday night or sometime Friday.

According to Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean, current forecast puts Florence stalling upon reaching the Carolina coast before making a slight shift south and barreling down South Carolina. She said it will become a "major flooding event."

The shift south and west encompassing more of South Carolina and western North Carolina. The National Weather Center called Florence will likely be "the storm of a lifetime" for portions of the Carolina coast.
HURRICANE FLORENCE COULD BRING CATASTROPHIC STORM SURGES: WHAT ARE THEY, AND HOW CAN YOU PREPARE?
In addition to the hurricane-strength winds blowing ashore Friday, Florence has the potential to bring a storm surge upwards of six feet in parts of the coastline including up to 13 feet from Cape Fear north to Cape Lookout.

The hurricane could also produce heavy and excessive rainfall - up to 40 inches in isolates areas in the Carolinas and anywhere between six to 12 inches elsewhere in the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic region.

It will also pass directly over two nuclear power plants - the Brunswick Nuclear Plant, which is located 30 miles south of Wilmington, as well as the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant in New Hill, about 23 miles from Raleigh.
HURRICANE FLORENCE EMERGENCY CONTACTS TO NOTE AS 'EXTREMELY DANGEROUS' STORM HITS EAST COAST
Analytics firm CoreLogic predicts that the damage from Florence could be more than $170 billion - making the most expensive hurricane to hit the continental U.S.

Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, which decimated parts of the Gulf states and Texas in 2005 and 2017 respectively, cost more than $125 billion. Hurricane Sandy which hit the Mid-Atlantic and New England in 2012 came in at $65 billion, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Authorities, including President Donald Trump and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are urging residents in the Carolinas as well as parts of Virginia and Georgia to evacuate as the storm continues its path.

Jeff Byard, FEMA associate administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery, called Florence "a very dangerous storm."

"This is going to be a Mike Tyson punch to the Carolina coast," he warned.
'EXTREMELY DANGEROUS' HURRICANE FLORENCE TO BE A 'MIKE TYSON PUNCH TO CAROLINA COAST'
President Trump declared states of emergency for North and South Carolina and Virginia, opening the way for federal aid. All three states ordered mass evacuations along the coast.

On Wednesday morning, the president urged those in the path of Florence to "get out of its way."

"Don't play games with it," he added. "It's a big one."

On Wednesday, people across the region rushed to buy bottled water and other supplies, board up their homes, pull their boats out of the water and get out of town.

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said that while Florence is expected to slow down considerably by late Thursday and into Friday, it will still be an "extremely dangerous major hurricane" when it makes landfall.

Hurricane Florence's potentially devastating winds are generating enormous waves as high as 83 feet as it continues to make its way toward the East Coast and insurers predict it will become the costliest such storm to ever hit the continental U.S.

The National Hurricane Center said Wednesday the massive waves were produced by being trapped along with very strong winds moving in the same direction of the storm's motion. The center said the waves were measured by satellite.
HURRICANE FLORENCE'S PATH: TRACK THE STORM HERE
As of 11 a.m., the Category 4 storm was about 485 miles southeast of Wilmington, N.C., and moving northwest at about 15 mph. The hurricane's maximum sustained winds were at 130 mph.

Forecasters predict the storm will make landfall late Thursday night or sometime Friday.

According to Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean, current forecast puts Florence stalling upon reaching the Carolina coast before making a slight shift south and barreling down South Carolina. She said it will become a "major flooding event."

The shift south and west encompassing more of South Carolina and western North Carolina. The National Weather Center called Florence will likely be "the storm of a lifetime" for portions of the Carolina coast.
HURRICANE FLORENCE COULD BRING CATASTROPHIC STORM SURGES: WHAT ARE THEY, AND HOW CAN YOU PREPARE?
In addition to the hurricane-strength winds blowing ashore Friday, Florence has the potential to bring a storm surge upwards of six feet in parts of the coastline including up to 13 feet from Cape Fear north to Cape Lookout.

The hurricane could also produce heavy and excessive rainfall - up to 40 inches in isolates areas in the Carolinas and anywhere between six to 12 inches elsewhere in the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic region.

It will also pass directly over two nuclear power plants - the Brunswick Nuclear Plant, which is located 30 miles south of Wilmington, as well as the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant in New Hill, about 23 miles from Raleigh.
HURRICANE FLORENCE EMERGENCY CONTACTS TO NOTE AS 'EXTREMELY DANGEROUS' STORM HITS EAST COAST
Analytics firm CoreLogic predicts that the damage from Florence could be more than $170 billion - making the most expensive hurricane to hit the continental U.S.

Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, which decimated parts of the Gulf states and Texas in 2005 and 2017 respectively, cost more than $125 billion. Hurricane Sandy which hit the Mid-Atlantic and New England in 2012 came in at $65 billion, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Authorities, including President Donald Trump and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are urging residents in the Carolinas as well as parts of Virginia and Georgia to evacuate as the storm continues its path.

Jeff Byard, FEMA associate administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery, called Florence "a very dangerous storm."

"This is going to be a Mike Tyson punch to the Carolina coast," he warned.
'EXTREMELY DANGEROUS' HURRICANE FLORENCE TO BE A 'MIKE TYSON PUNCH TO CAROLINA COAST'
President Trump declared states of emergency for North and South Carolina and Virginia, opening the way for federal aid. All three states ordered mass evacuations along the coast.

On Wednesday morning, the president urged those in the path of Florence to "get out of its way."

"Don't play games with it," he added. "It's a big one."

On Wednesday, people across the region rushed to buy bottled water and other supplies, board up their homes, pull their boats out of the water and get out of town.

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said that while Florence is expected to slow down considerably by late Thursday and into Friday, it will still be an "extremely dangerous major hurricane" when it makes landfall.

Sam Darnold demonstrated no trouble adjusting to the NFL in his first career game. And because of the Jets backfield, the quarterback’s transition could remain easier than most assumed it would be.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sam Darnold demonstrated no trouble adjusting to the NFL in his first career game. And because of the Jets backfield, the quarterback's transition could remain easier than most assumed it would be.

While Darnold rightfully owned the headlines with his sparkling debut Monday night, running backs Isaiah Crowell and Bilal Powell provided the rookie with tremendous support in the Jets' 48-17 win over the Lions, combining for 162 yards and two touchdowns on just 22 carries.

"It always helps to have a running game as a quarterback, no matter who you are," coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday. "With the offensive line blocking, and the runners doing what they did, I thought it took a lot of weight off of him."

Though Crowell had only six 100-yard games in his first four seasons with the Browns, the 25-year-old free-agent signing looked like a bargain in his Jets debut.

Crowell scored the team's first touchdown - tying the game on a 6-yard run in the first quarter - and then broke free for a 62-yard touchdown run in the final minute of the third. Crowell finished with 102 yards on 10 rushes, and tied Mark Ingram for the most 50-plus yard runs (six) in the NFL since 2014.

Powell averaged 5 yards per carry, and added one reception for 5 yards.

Jets linebacker Darron Lee received Pro Football Focus' highest grade of any defensive player in the NFL after picking off Matthew Stafford twice and returning one interception for a 36-yard touchdown. Last season, the 2016 first-round pick was graded 52nd, out of the 52 linebackers.

"The game slowed down for him," Bowles said. "I don't think he's doing anything he hasn't done. He has more knowledge of the game, and the film study is easier, and he's working his tail off to be the best player he can be, and we're happy with it."

Lee boasted after the win that the Jets knew what plays the Lions were running, but Bowles said the linebacker may have been exaggerating.

"We didn't know any audibles. We didn't know any plays," Bowles said. "Those guys did a good job following the assignments that the coaches taught them. They were anticipating certain things when they had certain formations, and they were in the right positions to make those types of plays, but I don't think we knew the plays."

Bowles said Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) was "close" to playing, but his status for Sunday's home-opener against the Dolphins is uncertain. ... The status of safety Marcus Maye (foot) also was unclear after he missed Monday's game.

"[Kearse] was making the case to play, but I decided not to play him," Bowles said. "Too early to tell [this week]."

pregnant mom of three heard screaming over the phone with her husband before car crash.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A pregnant mother-of-three was killed over the weekend when a BMW being driven by a suspected intoxicated boxer crashed into her vehicle while she was on speakerphone with her husband - leading him to hear her scream moments before the deadly impact.

Marcos Forestal, 28, was taken into custody after he was involved in a crash that killed Krystil Kincaid and her unborn child on Sunday, police said. Kincaid, who was eight months pregnant, was driving in Hemet, California, around 8:30 p.m. when Forestal veered his BMW into her lane and collided with her minivan, KTLA reported.

Forestal was allegedly speeding at the time of the collision.

The minivan was partially on fire when first responders arrived at the scene. They put out the flames and worked to extract Kincaid, whose legs were pinned underneath the dashboard, according to a GoFundMe page set up for the 29-year-old mother.

"Firefighters used the 'Jaws of Life' to extricate the trapped woman from her vehicle and she was air-lifted to an area trauma center, where both she and her unborn child later died," the fundraising site stated.

Kincaid's husband, Zach, told NBC4 he was on speakerphone when the crash occurred and could hear her screams.

"She yelled and she screamed in terror," Zach Kincaid said. "It was a mixture of impending doom, realization she wasn't ever going to see her kids again."

"I heard the crash. I heard the tumbling and then, silence," he said.

Zach Kincaid told KTLA his children thought they were visiting their mother at the hospital to welcome their new sibling.

"They thought they had a baby sister here," he said. "They got the worst news of their life. They were told that they don't have a mom, or a baby sister, anymore."

Krystil Kincaid leaves behind a daughter, 11, and two sons, ages eight and four. She also had a 14-year-old stepdaughter.

Forestal is a Cuban boxer who is the World Boxing Federation International Super Bantamweight champion, according to the website. After Sunday's crash, a man identified as Forestal said in a livestream video that he "had an accident," El Nuevo Herald reported.

"Guys a car appeared and I had an accident," Forestal said. "Look at what happened to me, gentlemen. A car came out in front of me and look and what happened to my car."

Officials arrested Forestal at the scene on suspicion of driving while intoxicated that resulted in major injuries. His charges were later upgraded to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Forestal's manager said in a statement: "I would like to extend my deepest condolences to those that have lost their loved ones in this horrible tragedy. At this time, we are cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation."

Maui was hit with heavy rain and powerful winds Wednesday as a gradually weakening tropical storm neared Hawaii, with forecasters predicting Tropical Storm Olivia could dump 5 to 10 inches (12 to 25 centimeters). Some places could get as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Maui was hit with heavy rain and powerful winds Wednesday as a gradually weakening tropical storm neared Hawaii, with forecasters predicting Tropical Storm Olivia could dump 5 to 10 inches (12 to 25 centimeters). Some places could get as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters).

The downpours started before dawn on Maui and the northern part of the Big Island, said National Weather Service meteorologist Melissa Dye. No rainfall totals were yet available.

Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa urged residents to store drinking water and warned that they should plan for power outages, landslides, high surf, fallen trees and flooded roads.

"Nature has a real funny way of not giving us advance notice," Arakawa said.

Olivia was about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Maui and packing winds of 45 mph (72 kph) early Wednesday.

Dye said there were sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph (32 to 48 kph) on Maui. The storm, which was a hurricane earlier in the week, has been slowly losing power as it nears the state.

Tropical storm warnings were canceled overnight for the Big Island and Kauai, but remain in place for Oahu, Maui and small islands surrounding Maui.

A flash flood warning was issued for Molokai island, and a wind gust of 51 mph (82 kph) was recorded at the airport on the island of Lanai. The storm was later expected to impact Honolulu and other parts of Oahu, where Dye said some showers were falling Wednesday.

Schools, courts and government offices will be closed in Maui County on Wednesday in preparation for the storm.

Scott Zaffram, a senior response official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said emergency teams and supplies were ready on Maui.

The National Guard has mobilized personnel and trucks to the east side of Maui, said Herman Andaya, administrator of the county's emergency management agency.

Hawaiian Airlines cancelled flights by its commuter airline, Ohana by Hawaiian.

Officials were worried about landslides in west Maui because brushfires during Hurricane Lane three weeks ago wiped out vegetation, Maui County spokesman Rod Antone said.

Maui's Costco was a "packed house" all day Monday, but the stream of customers slowed by Tuesday afternoon, said general manager Tony Facemire. Lines at the gas pumps remained long Tuesday, he said.

The store was well-stocked with most items, but was out of lanterns, flashlights and generators, he said.

The owner of the only hardware store in the small town of Hana on the east side of Maui said he was determined to stay open so residents could buy tarps, screws or other supplies for their homes.

"I think it's important for us to try to stay open as much as possible, without jeopardizing the well-being of our staff," said Neil Hasegawa, owner of Hasegawa General Store.

The storm was expected to affect Hana starting Tuesday night, and residents were bracing for the community with a population of 1,200 people to take the brunt of the storm, Hasegawa said.

Those who prepared for Hurricane Lane have largely left those preparations in place for Olivia, he said.

"I think they're even taking it more seriously than Lane," Hasegawa said. "You can see the track going ... it's like barreling down on this eastern end."

Hana is a popular day-trip destination for travelers staying in Maui's resort towns. But Hasegawa urged people who don't need to be in Hana to stay away because they could become trapped and take up limited shelter space.

Visitors Aaron Huston and his girlfriend Selena Palamides weren't letting Olivia spoil their Maui vacation.

The Seattle couple stocked their hotel room mini-fridge with munchies and bottled water, "just in case we can't go out," Huston said.

They tried to get more sightseeing done Tuesday in case they're stuck at their resort in Wailea on Wednesday.

"It sucks but there's nothing we can do about it," Huston said. "It's better than Seattle rain."

Resort workers were preparing for the storm by taking down beach cabanas, he said.

Public schools on the Big Island, Oahu and Kauai will be open.

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said his city's offices will be open as usual. City buses also will be running normally unless winds exceed 40 mph (64 kph).

"We don't want to overreact and tell everyone to stay home when maybe it's not going to be as bad," said Caldwell.

On Oahu, Nakoa Ching prepared for the storm with a hurricane kit, food and stoves and had friends with generators.

"We cleaned up all the loose material, put (it) in the sheds and stuff but we didn't go buy and invest in plywood or anything like that. It is what it is, you know," Ching said.

A 16-year-old Michigan high school student died Wednesday after she was stabbed during a fight, police said.

The fight was between two female students in a Fitzgerald High School classroom, Warren police said. The teen who was stabbed died from her injuries. She wasn't immediately identified.

A 17-year-old female student, whose identity wasn't released, was arrested in the stabbing, according to FOX 2 Detroit.

The fight between the two students started around 9:30 a.m. and was thought to have been over a boy, but that couldn't immediately be confirmed, Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said. The 17-year-old student stabbed the victim twice in the chest with a kitchen knife, he said. A school resource officer began giving the victim CPR until paramedics arrived.

No other students were injured, Dwyer said.

Warren police were planning on pursuing a murder charge, according to FOX 2 Detroit.

The school was placed on lockdown when the fight started, Fitzgerald Public Schools Superintendent Laurie Fournier said in a statement. The school was dismissed at 10 a.m.

Lions Head Coach, Matt Patricia, says that there were many things that lead to the Lions Monday Night loss to the New York Jets. Tipping the plays to the Jets players was not one of them according to Around the NFL writer, Herbie Teope.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From turnovers to an absent running game, the Detroit Lions saw a lot of things go wrong in Week 1's loss to the New York Jets.

Tipping off plays to an opponent, however, is apparently not one of them.

After numerous Jets players said they knew what plays were coming, Lions coach Matt Patricia downplayed the opponent's postgame comments and attributed the Jets' success to execution.

"I think we're talking about something that's pretty common to when you have to face an opponent, there's going to be things there that you're very familiar with," Patricia told reporters Tuesday in a teleconference, via the Lions' official website. "And obviously, I would say on both sides of the ball there's some high familiarity with some of the things that they do that we worked. They just obviously out-executed us and that was the biggest problem."

Patricia raises a valid point on familiarity, of course. The head coach pointed out in general terms that throughout the course of a game, situations will come up that are identifiable to players based on seeing and hearing things from previous studying of game film or scouting reports.

There is also a matter of knowing an opponent's tendencies, and Patricia and the Jets are accustomed to each other from Patricia's previous tenure with the New England Patriots.

Additionally, the Lions' first-year coach is acquainted with various members of the Jets' coaching staff, including offensive line coach/run-game coordinator Rick Dennison and offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates, and what each coach prefers to accomplish within schemes.

"I would say that was very much, on the flip side, a Dennison run game, it was a Bates' offensive pass game," Patricia told reporters. "It was a Todd Bowles and Kacy [Rodgers] defense. So, I think on both sides of the ball we knew exactly what everybody was trying to do. They obviously executed a lot better than we did."

Whatever happened Monday night, Patricia's team was clearly at a disadvantage as the Jets throttled the Lions in all phases of the game en route to a 48-17 win.

If it's a matter of execution without regard to if an opponent recognizing a play, the Lions have the remaining part of the week in practice to get it right before squaring off against the San Francisco 49ers.

Hurricane Florence's 'Mike Tyson punch' is shaping up to deliver disaster for days to the Carolina coast.Hurricane Florence is forecast to pause late this week just off North Carolina's coast and turn left -- a development that would still smash the Tar Heel State with life-threatening storm surge, catastrophic winds and inundating rain while putting more of South Carolina in greater danger.
