Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota already are the best quarterback duo drafted 1-2 in NFL history.Both players have their teams in playoff contention in only their second season.Winston led Tampa Bay (6-5) to an upset win over Seattle on Sunday and the Buccaneers are one game behind Atlanta in the NFC South. Mariota had his eighth straight multiple TD game to lead Tennessee (6-6) over Chicago and the Titans are a half-game behind Houston in the AFC South.In 2015, Winston and Mariota were the sixth set of QBs to be selected first and second overall in the draft since 1967. This year, it happened again when the Rams took Jared Goff at No. 1 and the Eagles selected Carson Wentz at No. 2.Other QBs going 1-2 were: Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III (2012); Tim Couch and Donovan McNabb (1999); Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf (1998); Drew Bledsoe and Rick Mirer (1993); Jim Plunkett and Archie Manning (1971).Injuries derailed Griffins career. Couch and Leaf were busts. Mirer was a full-time starter for only three seasons.The Plunkett-Manning combination was the most successful of them all. Plunkett was a Super Bowl MVP and Manning was a two-time Pro Bowl pick despite playing for the lowly Saints.So Winston and Mariota have a long way to go.Here are other overreactions following Week 12:OVERREACTION: The Browns (0-12) wont lose next week.REALISTIC REACTION: They have a bye .---OVERREACTION: Seattles loss to Tampa Bay proves the Seahawks (7-3-1) arent on the same level as Dallas (10-1).REALISTIC REACTION: Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman and Co. still have the best chance to knock off the Cowboys in the playoffs.---OVERREACTION: The Raiders (9-2) are on course to meet the Patriots (9-2) in the AFC title game.REALISTIC REACTION: Oakland might not make it out of the AFC West where the Chiefs (8-3) and Broncos (7-4) have superior defenses.---OVERREACTION: Tom Brady is the best blocking QB in the NFL.REALISTIC REACTION: The Jets defense showed incredible mercy avoiding Brady as he led the way on LeGarrette Blounts 10-yard run.---OVERREACTION: Adam Gase is Coach of the Year. His Dolphins (7-4) have won six in a row and are right in the mix for a wild-card berth.REALISTIC REACTION: Jack Del Rio, Dirk Koetter and Bob McAdoo each make a strong case to win it.---OVERREACTION: No Andrew Luck means no playoffs for the Colts (5-6).REALISTIC REACTION: Luck should return from a concussion next week and Indianapolis is only one game out of first place.---OVERREACTION: Playing for the win instead of a tie will cost the Broncos (7-4) the playoffs.REALISTIC REACTION: Theyre tied in the standings with Miami and have five games left. Too much season left.---OVERREACTION: The Cardinals (4-6-1) are the biggest busts of the season.REALISTIC REACTION: Theyve got competition from Green Bay and Carolina (4-7).---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Air Max 270 Clearance . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. Air Max 270 Cheap Sale . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. http://www.airmax270cheapsale.com/ . Breaking three of his own world records on his way to winning in Paris, Chan silenced the critics and left the audiences standing in appreciation and awe. Air Max 270 Wholesale . Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session. Air Max 270 Cheap China . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. SPOKANE, Wash. -- Gonzaga lost two players from last years team to the NBA but the No. 14 Bulldogs have reloaded and are favored to win another West Coast Conference title.Domantas Sabonis left school early to become a lottery pick for Oklahoma City, and leading scorer Kyle Wiltjer graduated and is playing for the Houston Rockets. The All-America selections take 37 points and 18 rebounds per game out of the lineup.Only two starters, Przemek Karnowski and Josh Perkins, are back from a team that finished 28-8 last year and lost in the Sweet 16.Karnowski, who missed most of last season with a back injury, is a 7-foot-1 center who averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds two years ago. Perkins, a guard, averaged 10 points and 4 assists per game.We have depth at pretty much every spot, coach Mark Few said. Were really balanced; the guys are kind of equal ability across the board. I dont know if any one guy is going to play 35 minutes every night and we cant live without him. That hasnt been the case in many of the years prior.Gonzaga has made 17 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament but never advanced beyond the Elite Eight. This team is a good bet to make it 18 straight trips.Much of the optimism centers on a trio of transfer students.Guard Nigel Williams-Goss becomes eligible after transferring from Washington, where he averaged 15 points and 5 assists per game.Guard Jordan Mathews is a graduate transfer from California, where he averaged 13.5 points. Forward Johnathan Williams is a transfer from Missouri, where he averaged 11.9 points and 7 rebounds.Also back from last year are Silas Melson and Ryan Edwards. Four freshmen are on the roster, as is transfer Jeremy Jones from Rice.Few said his challenge is getting the transfers dialed into the Zag way and getting the new guys (to do the same), and figuring out what we can do with the old guys.Karnowski is pleased to be back on the court after playing only a handful of games last season.dddddddddddd.I think (last season) was a huge life lesson for me, for the appreciation of things that you have every day, said Karnowski, who had back surgery on Dec. 31. It was hard to do any daily activities when I was injured.To get to where we are right now its just a great story and a testament to him, Few said of Karnowski. You just wish for nothing but the best. You want a happy ending.Things to watch:FEWS RECORD: Few has a record of 466-111 in his 17 years at the helm and has never failed to get to the NCAA Tournament. His winning percentage of .808 is the highest of any active Division I coach.NON-CONFERENCE: Gonzagas non-conference slate is not as brutal as in some years. The Bulldogs play San Diego State, No. 10 Arizona, Washington, Tennessee and either Florida or Seton Hall in the early going.AWARDS WATCH: Jordan Mathews is one of 20 candidates for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award. Nigel Williams-Goss is one of 20 candidates for the 2017 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. Both honors are presented by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.PRESEASON POLL: Gonzaga once again topped the West Coast Conference preseason poll. For the 16th straight year, WCC coaches picked the Zags to win the regular-season title. No. 17 Saint Marys, which returns every key player from last seasons co-championship squad, was picked second. Gonzaga has won or shared 15 of the last 16 WCC regular-season titles.THE GREAT KARNOWSKI: Known as Shimmick, Karnowski is the 39th player in program history to top 1,000 career points and is nine rebounds shy of becoming the 14th player with at least 600 career rebounds. Only eight Gonzaga players have done both. ' ' '
