NASHVILLE -- Veteran kicker Ryan Succop has agreed to a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans who chose to go with experience rather than an undrafted rookie. Agent Joel Turner said Monday that Succop is happy with a "very good opportunity" with the Titans. The Titans, who earlier Monday announced they had agreed to terms with linebacker Quentin Groves, had no immediate comment. The Chiefs released Succop on Saturday, going with an undrafted option at kicker. Succop, 27, hit 81 per cent of his field goals over his past five seasons and his career-long is 54 yards. He has spent the past five seasons with the Chiefs who drafted him with the final pick of the 2009 draft out of South Carolina. The Titans had kept Travis Coons out of Washington over Maikon Bonani in the final cuts after cutting Rob Bironas, the NFLs fourth-most accurate kicker who spent the past nine seasons in Tennessee. Now Succop will see his old team Sunday with the Titans visiting Kansas City in the season opener, something Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he thought was a good chance of happening when he spoke to reporters earlier Monday. Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt said Succop, who was due to earn $2 million with Kansas City this season, will be missed. "He set a bunch of records here," Colquitt said before news of Succops new deal broke. "Theres 31 other teams, and five of them really looking for a kicker right now. Ryans going to attach to someone who is looking for a kicker right now." The 6-foot-2 Succop is 119 of 147 on field goals in his career, including 9 of 17 from 50 yards or longer. Coons connected on 2 of 3 on field goals this preseason, and the Titans worked out Jay Feely, Rian Lindley and Garrett Hartley last week. ------ AP Sports Writer Dave Skretta in Kansas City, Missouri, contributed to this report.

It was my fifth straight year attending and, as always, there are many interesting matters discussed as it pertains to the use of statistics in sports.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jim Harbaugh is not about to get picky about wins, pretty or otherwise.His San Francisco 49ers barely beat the lowly Washington Redskins 17-13 on Sunday, and Harbaugh still found plenty of praise for his players making the big plays when it mattered most.San Francisco (7-4) has three straight victories and some much-needed momentum as it enters the seasons stretch run, with two remaining games against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks (7-4), starting with the first meeting Thursday night.The Niners overcame three turnovers and more costly penalties.We turned the ball over and some teams will hang their heads when that happens, Harbaugh said. But thats not what this teams about. This teams about each other. Theyre about the team, the team, the team.Rookie Carlos Hyde scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 4-yard run with 2:59 left. The winning drive included Anquan Boldins 29-yard catch on which safety Ryan Clark was flagged for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty for his hit. Boldin also had a 10-yard catch two plays later.Hes a shining star, a stalwart. I mean, who makes those plays? Harbaugh said.San Franciscos first-team offence scored its first touchdown in the fourth quarter all year.For the past couple weeks youve seen guys laying it all out on the line, Boldin said.Here are some other observations from Sundays game:BOLDINS BIG DAY: Before his clutch catches late, Boldin caught a 30-yard touchdown pass on San Franciscos initial series.The offence struggled much of the rest of the way, and Boldin told himself the offence would need at least one big play to win it. He delivered yet again.Hes proven time and time again that hes a reliable receiver, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. Hes always a person thats going to make big plays, and he did right there for his team.Boldin, who caught a pair of touchdown passes in a win at Washington last November, finished with nine receptions for a season-high 137 yards.ALDON SMITHS FIRST START: Aldon Smith returned last week following a nine-game suspension and played regular snaps, then earned his first start Sunday and had a two-sack outing against Robert Griffin III.Smith insists hes not quite back to form, but making progress. There were several other plays he thought he should have made.Im getting there, said Smith, who also missed five games in 2013 while undergoing treatment following a DUI arrest.He saacked Griffin III on the second play of the game and again with the Redskins driving early in the third quarter to force a punt.ddddddddddddFill-in left tackle Morgan Moses received some of Smiths wrath.I try to play explosive and try to play aggressive and make the opponent, the guy Im going against, feel it, Smith said.He dislocated his left middle finger and popped it back in, saying, It was pretty weird looking.GRIFFIN III ON HIS BACK: Robert Griffin III has been sacked 16 times in his last three games, including five by San Francisco on Sunday as he faced constant pressure again.Even Smith was surprised he kept getting back to his feet.Griffin took criticism during the week for being hard on teammates, then seemed to let all that be forgotten as he kept his team in the game until the end.Theres one thing were not going to do, and thats quit. No matter how gloomy it might look, or whatevers being said, were going to stay positive, he said.MORRIS RUNS: Alfred Morris ran for a touchdown and his first 100-yard game of the season, a rare offensive bright spot for Washington.Morris had a 30-yard gain among his 21 carries for 125 yards.I stopped trying to think too much. I said this weeks ago, I was thinking too much, Morris said. Ive been playing this game since I was 5. I know how to be a runner. I just stopped thinking and stopped trying to make things happen that werent there. Each week has been getting better and better.REDSKINS INJURIES: Washington was already missing left tackle Trent Williams with a knee injury. The Redskins lost several other key faces Sunday. Washington also was missing David Amerson, who didnt play because of a violation of a team rule. Coach Jay Gruden wouldnt elaborate.Cornerback E.J. Biggers left in the first quarter with a concussion, while linebacker Adam Hayward went down with a right knee injury that Gruden called a knee tibia plateau fracture.Cornerback Tracy Porter sustained an AC separation in his right shoulder and was scheduled for an MRI exam on Monday. Running back Silas Redd Jr. suffered a rib contusion.Im really proud of the way they competed. They could have hung their heads, Gruden said. Moving forward if we can play with that type of effort and intensity and continue to prepare, I told our team I think some of these losses will turn into wins down the road.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
