Ospreys ran in four tries to earn a 22-5 bonus-point success at 14-man Glasgow and move closer to the top of the Guinness PRO12 table.Although Ospreys had been the more progressive side - leading 5-0 at the break thanks to a try from scrum-half Tom Habberfield - the result hinged on the red card shown by referee George Clancy to Warriors lock Brian Alainuuese in the 46th minute.Ospreys then adopted a much more open style to use the extra man that produced tries for replacement wing Tom OFlaherty, number eight Dan Baker and centre Ashley Beck.Glasgows consolation try was scored by sub wing Junior Bulumakau with 90 seconds left.It was Ospreys first-ever win at Glasgows Scotstoun Stadium and their first in nine visits to Scotland Glasgow kicked off in bitter conditions but it was Ospreys who controlled the opening stages, though without reward.Fly-half Josh Matavesi made a clean break but when he reached the home 22 he was foiled by a textbook tackle from home full-back Peter Murchie.On 12 minutes Matavesi got a second chance to get the scoreboard moving but he pushed his penalty attempt to the right of the posts.Glasgow suddenly came alive when left wing Lee Jones regained his chip ahead but Ospreys full-back Dan Evans hauled him down just short of the tryline.Just when it looked as though the half would end scoreless Ospreys produced a try. Glasgow lost possession and right wing Daf Howells whacked the ball from his own 22 into empty Warriors territory.Chasing scrum-half Habberfield was first to it to hack the ball on before touching down for a try that was signed off by the television match official.From the restart Ospreys again took the initiative with Glasgows task becoming more difficult when Alainuuese was shown a red card for dangerously entering a ruck.With Glasgows defence then drawn inwards, a kick to a wide-open OFlaherty brought an unconverted try on 50 minutes. Sensing blood, Ospreys then unleashed a much more open game with Baker touching down close to the posts in the 58th minute, though Matavesi again missed the conversion.Ten minutes later Beck sidestepped a tackle for the bonus point try with Matavesi adding the extras for the first time. Glasgow had the last word through Bulumakau but they were well beaten. Air Force 1 Alte Nere . Its an influence in football and a big part of the game.

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. ASHBURN, Va. -- After a loss to New England last season, Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins posed a question to the three-time Super Bowl MVP who plays his position for the Patriots.I remember when I asked Tom Brady after the game last year, `When did it click for you? In a sense, I asked him, `When were you no longer a work-in-progress? And his answer was what I would echo here: `Its still clicking. Youve never figured it out. Youve never arrived, Cousins said Wednesday. And the minute you think you have is probably when youre going to be gone.So he is still hoping to improve. And Redskins coach Jay Gruden says his QB is still growing.It places Cousins in a bit of an awkward spot as he tries to prove, once again, he deserves a long-term contract while playing out one season under the franchise tag of just under $20 million.Both the player and team will hope that next Sundays game against the visiting Dallas Cowboys, featuring a pair of NFC East teams that are 0-1, works out better than Week 1: Cousins threw two interceptions, didnt have a touchdown pass, and the Redskins lost 38-16 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.Asked if he thought Cousins appeared tentative, Gruden replied: a little bit.Not scoring a touchdown until late there in the game and having some opportunities to make some plays that we didnt make -- were a little disappointed with the performance of everybody on offense, the coach said. He missed some throws that he normally makes, which Im ssure that he regrets and wishes he had back.ddddddddddddAs for how he would rate Cousins showing against Pittsburgh, Gruden said, I dont grade A, B, C, D, E and F. This isnt college or high school. But he understands that his performance has got to improve, as does everybody on this football team, including the coaches.Cousins went 30 of 43 for 329 yards, which doesnt seem awful at first glance.But there were mix-ups with receivers, cadence confusion that contributed to five false-start penalties, some throws that were off-target, the turnovers and lack of production in the red zone, including a pair of early drives that ended with field goals.Ill always view myself as a work-in-progress, Cousins said, and I think thats how other people can view me, too.Game notes DL Cullen Jenkins practiced Wednesday after re-signing with the team. He was released on cutdown day, Sept. 3. Gruden said the coaching staff would determine whether to have him on the active roster Sunday after seeing where he stands as far as knowing the defense and what kind of shape hes in again. ... DEs Chris Baker (rib, elbow) and Kendall Reyes (groin) and RT Morgan Moses (knee strain) were limited in practice Wednesday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
