Tim Tebow will not call himself a retired football player though he could see himself as a future coach. A career in politics also could be appealing down the road.One thing is for sure, hell always be a Gator.The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former Florida quarterback is getting prepared to begin another season as an analyst with the SEC Network and ESPN. He also is working with the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team, which honors college football players for their community service and good deeds. Tebow was a member of the 2009 Good Works Team and is now trying to put a spotlight on how other football players -- such as Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson -- are making a difference away from the field.Its even more important in this day and age, in todays culture where we have so much dividing us, Tebow said in a brief phone interview Wednesday. We have so many, 165, young people that have the pressure of competing for their schools and teams and in the classroom and they are still finding ways to help others. They are making huge impacts and changing peoples lives.Tebow, who turns 29 next month, was a first-round draft pick for the Denver Broncos in 2010 before being traded to the New Jets in 2012. Since then he has been to training camp with New England (2013) and Philadelphia (2015), but both times was cut.Asked if he considers himself a retired football player, Tebow laughs and affably avoids the question.I think I consider myself someone that is so blessed to do what I love to do and to be around the game of college football and to be able to be part of something that was so much a part of my life since I was a little boy, he said. But also Ive got a lot of different things going on right now.His new book, Shaken, which comes out in about a month, covers the disappointments of his professional career. He is the co-host of Home Free, a Fox show in which couples compete for a home, but ultimately everyone wins. And the Tim Tebow Foundation is now in 16 countries and growing, he said.Where does his future lie? Hard to say. Both coaching and politics are alluring.I love what coaching is, he said. I love the fact that coaching is teaching and its helping and its mentoring and its loving and its being a father figure. That is something that has always intrigued me.There were rumors and speculation that Tebow was asked to attend and speak at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last week. He declined to address them, again politely laughing off the question.As for a career in politics, Tebow said it fits his view of a life of service to others.My goal has always been able to make the biggest impact that I possible could in peoples lives. If I thought this is the right avenue, this would work, then I would be totally up for going down that path. Do I feel like thats right now? No, not necessarily, he said. Could it happen in the future? Yeah, I definitely wouldnt write that off.Tebow helped Florida win two national championships under coach Urban Meyer, and he remains close with the Ohio State coach, his family and members of the Buckeyes staff. His loyalty, though, remains unquestionably with his alma mater.Coach Meyer is like a father figure to me, Tebow said. But Im a Gator. Ive been a Gator since I was a little boy. My mom and dad were Gators. I had two siblings that were Gators and Ill always be a Gator. So if theyre playing in the national championship (Florida and Ohio State), Coach Meyer might have to be Gator bait. Custom Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys .

This was the biggest comeback for the Raiders since overcoming a 21-point deficit to Indianapolis to win 38-31 on Sept. 10, 2000.The defense also tightened by forcing three straight three-and-outs and then getting a turnover when Khalil Mack deflected Tyrod Taylors pass that Nate Allen intercepted .SEAHAWKS 40, PANTHERS 7SEATTLE -- Thomas Rawls ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, Tyler Lockett took a reverse 75 yards for a score to open the second half and Seattle routed Carolina.Another prime-time game in Seattle was clouded with odd story lines right from the outset when Carolina quarterback Cam Newton was benched for the first play, only to watch backup Derek Anderson throw an interception.The Seahawks (8-3-1) rolled up a season-high 534 yards and kept a three-game lead over Arizona in the division with four remaining.Rawls finished with 106 yards on 15 carries, quiet in the second half after briefly being checked for a concussion.

It came after Denver won a game in similar fashion last month, returning a blocked PAT for the winning points at New Orleans.Berry had another huge play with less than a minute to go in the first half, picking off Ryans pass over the middle and bringing it back 37 yards for a touchdown. After reaching the end zone, the suburban Atlanta native handed the ball to his mother sitting in the stands at the Georgia Dome.Those werent the only big plays for the Chiefs.CARSDINALS 31, REDSKINS 23GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Carson Palmer threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns and David Johnson scored twice.The loss by the Redskins (6-5-1) clinched a playoff spot for the 11-1 Dallas Cowboys.Palmers 25-yard touchdown pass to Johnson with 11:09 to play put Arizona ahead 24-20, the fourth lead change of the second half.After a Washington field goal, Palmers 42-yard pass to J.J.

The Lions, whove won seven of eight, dominated statistically, but four opportunities inside the New Orleans 20 ended with Matt Prater field goals, allowing the Saints (5-7) to stay close until the fourth quarter.This time, however, the Lions pulled away for their most comfortable victory of the season after seven previous victory margins of one to seven points.The Lions also became the first team in 60 Saints home games to stop Drew Brees from completing a touchdown pass, although tight end Coby Fleener had a pass bounce off his hands at the goal line.RAVENS 38, DOLPHINS 6BALTIMORE -- Joe Flacco threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns, and the Ravens overwhelmed the Dolphins in the first half to end Miamis six-game winning streak.Baltimore (7-5) led 24-0 at halftime behind Flacco and a dominant performance from the leagues second-ranked defense.

LeGarrette Blount scored the games first touchdown , rumbling for a 43-yard, ankle-breaking score in the first quarter while spinning around safety Maurice Alexander in the process. He finished with 88 yards on 18 carries.The Patriots (10-2) have won seven of their last eight.On the same day that Los Angeles coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead were given contract extensions, the recently relocated Rams (4-8) proved they still have a long way to go after losing for the seventh time in eight outings.BRONCOS 20, JAGUARS 10JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Bradley Roby returned an interception 51 yards for a touchdown, helping the Broncos gain ground in the AFC playoff picture.Roby picked off Blake Bortles wobbler across the middle in the third quarter and went untouched the other way.

Houston and Detroit also returned interceptions for touchdowns in games the Jaguars lost by less than seven points.The latest one resulted in a seventh consecutive loss for Jacksonville (2-10) and secured another miserable milestone for the small-market franchise. The Jaguars became the fifth team in NFL history to post double-digit losses in six consecutive seasons, joining Tampa Bay (1983-94), Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and Cleveland (2008-13).Jacksonville had a chance to tie in the final minutes, but Bortles fumbled trying to make a play in the pocket.The Broncos (8-4) rebounded from an overtime loss against Kansas City, and with Miamis loss at Baltimore, moved into position to get one of the conferences wild-card spots.BENGALS 32, EAGLES 14CINCINNATI -- Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes and Cincinnati finally got its depleted offense moving without receiver A.J.

The Bengals scored on each of their first six possessions for a 29-0 lead, reinventing themselves with Green and running back Giovani Bernard sidelined by injuries. The previous time they scored on their first six possessions was 2009 against the Bears.The only bad moment: Mike Nugent missed another PAT kick wide to the right, his fourth miss in a span of five tries. Nugent made field goals from 32, 33, 26 and 38 yards, the last one deflecting off the left upright.BEARS 26, 49ERS 6CHICAGO -- Jordan Howard ran for 117 yards and a career-high three touchdowns and the Bears handed San Francisco its 11th straight loss.The 49ers (1-11) extended their franchise-record losing streak and set a club low with 6 yards net passing on a day when Colin Kaepernick got lifted for Blaine Gabbert.The Bears (3-9) finished with a season high in points and picked up a rare win in a matchup between two of the NFLs worst teams.Matt Barkley, making his second start with Jay Cutler sidelined by a season-ending shoulder injury, went nearly the entire first half without a completion. But he led a touchdown drive near the end of the second quarter and finished 11 of 18 for 192 yards.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
