CINCINNATI - The Reds extended general manager Walt Jockettys contract through the 2016 season on Saturday, giving him a chance to try to dig the franchise out of a disappointing year. Victor Hedman Jersey .Jocketty was promoted to general manger in 2008. They reached the playoffs three times in four years under manager Dusty Baker, who was fired after the Reds lost the wild card game to Pittsburgh last year.The Reds had a lot of injuries and fared far worse this season under manager Bryan Price, who was promoted from pitching coach. They were 74-86 with two games to play on Saturday, their worst showing since 2008. Price also is under contract through 2016.Jockettys deal was set to expire at the end of the season. His status was the only major question that the team had to settle before heading into the off-season.This franchise has had great success under Walts guidance, and were delighted he has signed a 2-year extension, owner Bob Castellini said.The Reds fired Baker after they failed to advance past the opening round of the playoffs for the third time. Theyve kept the core of their team intact, hoping for a stretch of playoff appearances, but played themselves out of contention in the second half of the season.Jocketty didnt make any trades to improve the roster in July, when Cincinnati was a game and a half out of first place in the NL Central. The Reds could have used an upgrade to their struggling bullpen, a first baseman to fill in while Votto was out, and a right-handed hitter. The bullpen was 0-17 since the All-Star break heading into Saturdays game, and the offence had the fewest hits and runs in the majors over that span.First baseman Joey Votto has missed most of the season with strained muscles above his left knee. Second baseman Brandon Phillips missed time with a torn thumb ligament. Right fielder Jay Bruce was sidelined by surgery for torn knee cartilage.___Follow Joe Kay on Twitter: http://twitter.com/apjoekay Tyler Johnson Jersey .A.

Sanchez had 217 yards on 20-of-29 passing, and LeSean McCoy posted 159 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries for the Eagles (9-3), who raced out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back on their way to improving to 6-0 on Thanksgiving. The only thing preventing the score from being even more lopsided was Philadelphias inefficiency in the red zone. The Eagles scored a touchdown only once and settled for four Cody Parkey field goals in five trips, but it didnt come back to haunt them because of a strong defensive effort. The Eagles ended Tony Romos consecutive games streak with a touchdown pass at 38 and held league rushing leader DeMarco Murray to under 100 yards. Romo completed 18-of-29 passes for 199 yards and threw two interceptions as Dallas (8-4) dropped its third straight home game. Today was an opportunity that we didnt cash in on, but we have to learn from this game and move forward, said Dallas head coach Jason Garrett. Murray failed to reach the century mark for only the second time in 2014. He finished with a season-low 73 yards on 20 carries against the Eagles. The teams will meet again in Philadelphia on Dec. 14. The Eagles started quickly as back-to-back runs of 13 yards by Darren Sproles and 36 yards by McCoy placed the ball at Dallas 22. Sanchez capped the games opening drive by scoring on an option keeper from the 2. After a Dallas punt, Sanchez picked apart the Cowboys secondary, completing 5- of-6 passes on an 88-yard drive that endeed with a 27-yard touchdown grab by rookie wide receiver Jordan Matthews.

The Cowboys responded as Dez Bryants 38-yard catch along the right sideline set up Murrays 1-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. Philadelphia got another big play the next time on offense. Sanchez found an uncovered Jeremy Maclin, who cut across the field to the Dallas 20 on a 58- yard catch-and-run. Sanchez had fumbled on the previous play, but offensive lineman Andrew Gardner alertly pounced on the ball. Parkey nailed a 31-yard field goal to put the Eagles up 17-7 with 12:10 left in the first half. Parkey added two more field goals inside the final two minutes to put Philadelphia up 23-7 at halftime. The rookie made a 22-yarder and then hit a 26-yarder following a fumble by Dallas wideout Cole Beasley. McCoy fumbled on the Eagles first drive of the second half, leading to a 28-yard Dan Bailey field goal, but he atoned for the turnover with a 38-yard touchdown run later in the third quarter. Parkey made a 25-yarder in the fourth quarter. Game Notes The Eagles won the only previous meeting between the teams on Thanksgiving by a 27-0 score on Nov. 23, 1989 ...
