LANDOVER, Md. - No sense in pretending the Washington Redskins are close to being good, not after a 27-point loss to their biggest rival to end a 4-12 season.The Redskins took a 44-17 drubbing Sunday from the Dallas Cowboys, looking every bit the mess theyve come to symbolize for much of the past decade.We need to change a lot, first-year coach Jay Gruden said. I honestly think if you dont change something, youre probably going to get the same results. Theres going to be some change going on, and its something we have to look at.Gruden wasnt ready to go into specifics, but much will be focused on the quarterback position. The coach changed starting QBs five times this season and was often blunt in his assessment of Robert Griffin III, who missed six weeks with an ankle injury, was later benched and then regained his job after Colt McCoys season-ending neck injury.With neither Gruden nor Griffin expected to go anywhere, the franchises hopes will likely hinge on whether their partnership can work.Grudens quick review of Griffin on Sunday: Hes out there trying his best. That starts right there. We have to get his best effort from him.Griffin committed three turnovers Sunday: two red zone interceptions and a fumble that was returned for a touchdown. He completed 27 of 41 passes for a career-high 336 yards with one touchdown, ending the season with four touchdowns, six interceptions and an 86.9 passer rating.Its been a really long year, Griffin said. Its been a tough year, a lot of adversity and a lot of things you cant control. I know who I am. I know what I have to get better at, and thats what Ill focus on this off-season.On his relationship with Gruden, Griffin said: I want to be here. I want to be here to help this team win, to help turn this thing around and change the culture. Thats my only focus. If coach Jay and the organization wants me to be around, Ill be ready to go.The Redskins didnt put up much resistance against the Cowboys (12-4), who had already clinched the NFC East and were playing with little or nothing on the line as far as playoff seeding.Theyre 12-4. Were 4-12. Right now, were far away, Gruden said. Theyre going to the playoffs. Were not. Were not very close to them right now.The Redskins lost seven of eight to finish last in the division for the sixth time in seven seasons. This season ended with 100 or so protesters outside the stadium condemning the teams nickname, the inside of the stadium well-populated by Cowboys fans as the game took on a preseason feel in the second half, and owner Dan Snyder hardly the picture of joy as he took it all in seated next to Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs.The Washington Redskins wont play another meaningful game until September of 2015, said veteran safety Ryan Clark, who had a rough game Sunday and is a top candidate to be among the changes referenced by Gruden.Those things go away. Footballs like a woman. They only remember the bad things. The bad things will linger. The good things, they dont talk about next year.Notes: The Redskins lost three linemen: T Trent Williams (high ankle sprain), T Tom Compton (knee sprain) and G Chris Chester (sprained toe), forcing TE Logan Paulsen to line up at tackle late in the game. ... The Redskins three quarterbacks combined to complete 364 passes this season, a franchise record.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Kd All Star Shoes 2019 . -- Tony Finau won the Stonebrae Classic on Sunday for his first Web.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.Y. Humphries and Moyse laid down a track-record time of 56.63 seconds in the first heat to grab the lead, and edged Elana Meyers and Lauryn Williams of the U.S. by 0.12 seconds. "To come out to any track and set a record, knowing no ones gone faster than that, it just proves to both of us and it cements that were where we need to be," Humphries said. Humphries and Moyse finished in one minute 53.66 seconds. Meyers and Williams were timed in 1:53.78, and Jamie Greubel and Katie Eberling finished third for the U.S. in 1:54.00. Moyse, whos been nursing a back injury, did not train all week. "She didnt push all week and then today comes in and we have the two fastest starts," Humphries said. "I think it shows the comfort we both have for each other." Humprhies bounced back from her worst World Cup result in nearly two years, when her historic streak of 15 straight podium finishes -- including 11 victories -- ended in Park City, Utah last week. With Moyse out, heavy snow bounced Humphries and Chelsea Valois off the podium. Edmontons Jenny Ciochetti and Valois, of Zenon Park, Sask., placed 14th at 1:55.34. Americans swept the podium in the mens event with Steven Holcomb adding to his undefeated start. Holcomb and Chris Fogt finished two runs in 1:50.19. Nick Cunningham and Johnny Quinn were second in 1:50.74, and Cory Butner and Chuck Berkeley were third in 1:50.dddddddddddd85 -- capping off a sweep that came on the heels of the U.S. women winning a gold and tying for silver at a World Cup race in Park City, Utah last weekend. Holcomb has now won all six World Cup mens bobsled races this season, four of them coming in two-man. He extended his lead in the World Cup two-man standings to 136 points over Cunningham. But Holcomb was more impressed with the 1-2-3 U.S. finish than extending his own personal start. "Thats huge," Holcomb said. "These guys have been performing well all year. For them to finally put it together on the last day of 2-man, last day of the North American tour, I think thats really going to help bring that motivation and confidence into Europe. Its definitely going to be harder over there. We had to take advantage of our North American experience and capitalize on it here because trust me, its going to get a lot more difficult." Calgarys Chris Spring and Jesse Lumsden, of Burlington, Ont., were the top Canadian sled in sixth with a time of 1:51.02. Justin Kripps, of Summerland, B.C., and Edmontons Bryan Barnett posted their second-straight eighth-place finish with a time of 1:51.13. "Im really happy with the way weve started off the season," said Kripps. "I know were capable of more. We have some things to clean up, but we are moving in the right direction." Lyndon Rush, of Humboldt, Sask., and Calgarys Lascelles Brown were 13th at 1:51.77. ' ' '
