SAN DIEGO -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso couldnt have played his first career pick-6 any better.It was the highlight play of his career so far, and left the San Diego Chargers stunned, again.Alonso deked Philip Rivers into thinking he was going to cover a slot receiver, then broke off, jumped in front of Tyrell Williams for the interception and outraced everyone 60 yards to the end zone with 1:01 left to give the Dolphins a wild 31-24 victory Sunday.Maybe he was expecting me to go up the seam, Alonso said.He didnt. Once he had the ball, all Alonso needed to do was outrun Williams for the score.I mean, thats my first touchdown on defense ever, like high school, college, he said. I felt good.The Dolphins (5-4) intercepted Rivers four times in a 13-minute span in the fourth quarter and won their fourth straight game.With the score tied and the Chargers (4-6) on the Miami 42, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said he was thinking through some timeout scenarios and looked up and saw his hands on the ball. Hes a very instinctive player and I know a couple of times he gambles and loses but a lot of times he gambles and hes right.Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill said he saw Alonso buzz out right before the snap and as soon as Phil started looking that way, I was happy he didnt see him.Rivers tied his career high with the four picks.Obviously it cant happen down in there, said Rivers, who helped the Chargers to a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. There were two of them when we were fixing to score, and then obviously the last one there with a chance to win the game with a field goal. The guy made a great play.Two plays into the ensuing drive, Rivers was intercepted again, by Tony Lippett, his second of the game.Too many missed opportunities with the chance to take the lead a few times. I didnt get it done, Rivers said.Rivers threw three touchdown passes to move past John Elway for eighth place on the career list with 301.Rivers 51-yard touchdown pass to Williams with 4:04 left gave the Chargers a 24-21 lead.Miami came right back to get a 27-yard field goal from Andrew Franks to tie it. That was set up by Tannehills 56-yard pass to DeVante Parker and a roughing-the-passer call that put the ball on the San Diego 10.Damien Williams scored on a 2-yard run and on an 18-yard pass from Tannehill for the Dolphins.Jay Ajayi ran for 79 yards, ending his streak of three straight 100-yard games, but he had big runs to set up two touchdowns by Williams.MOMENTUM SWINGThe Chargers blew a great opportunity to jump back into the lead after Jakeem Grant muffed a punt and Darrell Stuckey recovered it at the Miami 5. The Chargers had five chances from the 5 or closer -- thanks a holding call against Byron Maxwell -- and ended up with Rivers being intercepted by Lippett in the end zone after forcing a pass into double coverage.After Miami went three-and-out, Rivers gave it right back when he was intercepted by Byron Maxwell with 6:49 to go. The Dolphins failed to capitalize.Losing this way was like a shot under the chin, Stuckey said. Its a tough one. Weve got to find a way to take advantage of opportunities we get. Its the same old, same old story every time, for us, not taking advantage of opportunities.RECORD BOOKRivers threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates for a 10-0 lead. It was the 82nd time those two connected, extending their NFL record for a quarterback-tight end duo.Gates needs two TD catches to tie Tony Gonzalezs NFL record for touchdown grabs by a tight end (111).WEST COAST WEEKKenny Stills, who went to La Costa Canyon High in northern San Diego County, caught a 39-yard touchdown pass from Tannehill in the second quarter. Since the Dolphins are playing at the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday, theyre staying in Carlsbad this week. That gave Stills a chance to show some teammates his high school and to make a special visit. I got to see my dog for the first time in like a year and a half, said Stills, who stayed in Miami last offseason to work out.TOUGH WEEKIt was the second big loss for the Chargers in less than a week . On Tuesday, voters soundly rejected the teams request to raise hotel occupancy taxes to raise $1.15 billion for a $1.8 billion stadium and convention center annex downtown. Its unclear whether the Chargers will try another plan in San Diego or move to Los Angeles.INJURIESChargers CB Brandon Flowers left late in the third quarter and was being evaluated for a concussion. ...

LAS VEGAS -- Part spectacle and part celebration, the sport of mixed martial arts once again took center stage in the sporting world on Saturday with UFC 200.After the biggest and arguably deepest card in UFC history, the logical question is simple: Whats next?Heres a look at what the near future could (and in some cases should) bring for the 10 biggest winners of the event, including Amanda Nunes, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier.Amanda Nunes: In the revolving door that is the UFCs title picture at womens bantamweight, Nunes made quite an emphatic statement by the ease with which she lifted Miesha Tates title. With the 135-pound belt having now changed hands three times in the past nine months, the division is as wide open as ever. The good news for Nunes is that shes in a prime position for an immediate and marketable title defense. Former champion Holly Holm, who lost her title to Tate in their March thriller, likely makes the most sense, should she get past Valentina Shevchenko on July 23. But dont count out the return of Ronda Rousey. UFC president Dana White told SportsCenter late Saturday that he feels Rousey will be back by the end of this year or early next year. If the UFC can convince Rousey to return by November, there wouldnt be a better venue for her than the promotions long-awaited debut at Madison Square Garden.Brock Lesnar: In his first appearance since 2011, the former UFC heavyweight champion looked fresh in his dominant decision win over Mark Hunt. Lesnars return was deemed a one-off by current employer WWE and The Beast will quickly transition to promoting his Aug. 21 SummerSlam bout against Randy Orton. Its hard to imagine, however, this was the last time we see Lesnar, who turns 39 on Tuesday, inside the Octagon. Yes, no one outside of Lesnar and the McMahon family knows the specifics of his part-time WWE contract. Its also true that his victory over Hunt would be the perfect swan song after Lesnars initial UFC run was compromised by diverticulitis. But take a gander at Lesnars postfight comments and try to convince yourself his competitive nature wont bring him back.I had 12 inches of my colon removed [in 2011] and jumped back into the Octagon three months later. I mean, who does that? Come on, Lesnar said. Ive been gone five years and I stepped into the Octagon tonight with the guy ranked No. 8 in the world [at heavyweight]. You can write what you want to write but I think Im the toughest son of a bitch around and this puts me right in the game. Granted, Ive got some work to do but dont we all. If I want to make that decision and keep fighting, I will.Daniel Cormier: The light heavyweight champion had quite an emotional week after chief rival Jon Jones was pulled from the UFC 200 main event for a doping violation. Cormier then endured three rounds of boos for using his size advantage and wrestling to maul crowd favorite Anderson Silva. With Jones facing a possible two-year suspension from the USADA, Cormier is left without an obvious next opponent. He plans on staying busy and will look to face whoever is next in line, mentioning former title challengers Anthony Johnson and Alexander Gustafsson. The problem is Cormier is fresh off of wins against both fighters in the immediate aftermath of Jones being stripped of the title in 2015.Anderson Silva: As far as moral victories go, Silva seemed to take extra joy in his ability to go the distancce with Cormier on two days notice.dddddddddddd. At 41, the Spider was moving up in weight just two months removed from gall-bladder surgery. Silva showed incredible toughness and endeared himself even further to the adoring crowd by rallying to hurt Cormier with a kick to the body in the final minute of the fight. Considering the money he is still able to command, it doesnt appear Silva is going anywhere. A victory lap of fun fights against vulnerable or equally faded big names would seem most apropos. Silva, however, would prefer a rematch with 37-year-old Michael Bisping, who won a disputed decision over him in February before upsetting middleweight champion Luke Rockhold last month. While Silva is clearly a shadow of his once great self, that shadow can still excite a crowd and give most fighters a difficult challenge.Jose Aldo: A convincing win over Frankie Edgar in their interim featherweight title rematch quieted any fears that Conor McGregor had stolen Aldos aura of invincibility by taking his title in 13 seconds last December. Aldo, who previously went a full decade without losing, was back to being Aldo again on Saturday and spent the majority of his postfight interviews calling out McGregor, who was cageside. A title unification rematch will be a major event for the UFC later this year regardless of the outcome of McGregors big-money rematch at welterweight against Nate Diaz in August.Cain Velasquez: One year removed from losing his heavyweight title in the high elevation of Mexico City, the Velasquez of old made a triumphant return in a one-round dismantling of Travis Browne. Velasquez wants his belt back and his performance only helped fuel those who believe hes still the best heavyweight in the world. Velasquez said he expects to challenge the winner of new champion Stipe Miocics first title defense on Sept. 10 against Alistair Overeem.Julianna Pena: The Venezuelan Vixen took a considerable step forward with her convincing decision win over former title challenger Cat Zingano. Pena is 4-0 since making her UFC debut in 2013 and could become a dark-horse title challenger sooner than later should the unpredictability surrounding the title picture at womens bantamweight continue.TJ Dillashaw: The former bantamweight champion avenged a dubious split-decision loss to Raphael Assuncao from 2013 with a dominant win on Saturday. Dillashaw deserves a second chance at Dominick Cruz, who took his title by debated decision in January, and he deserves it now.Sage Northcutt: The 20-year-old lightweight prospect rebounded from his first defeat in January by outpointing Enrique Marin. But Super Sage was sloppy throughout and was forced to make a pair of dramatic escapes from submission attempts in Round 2. The once-great Northcutt hype train remains parked back in the station. More seasoning against opponents on the level of Marin is needed.Diego Sanchez: Hopefully retirement is next for the all-action Sanchez, who went out on his shield once again in a first-round TKO loss to Joe Lauzon. He may be the most intense fighter the UFC has ever seen and is amazingly just 34 despite leaping onto the scene in the first season of The Ultimate Fighter in 2005. Though Sanchez has provided fans with so many memorable wars, its time to say goodbye. ' ' '
