circumstanc circumstances under any condition and we have the best team so won't be a problem for us. >> all right. 49ers seen here practicing today shaking off the jet lag riding a four-game win streak and facing a winless jacksonville team, which makes you wonder if this game in london will be a distraction for the team. this trip takes them out of the comfort zone. coach harbaugh, as always s, disagrees. >> there is many positives. the team really can spend more time together, everybody has a story. a chance to spend time, more time with the coaches to watch tapes. you don't have to drive home. don't have to drive into work. you just come right down the elevator or the lift. >> the lift. all right. the raiders will host the steelers sunday by the buy week. good news the game is at home the bad news, the past ten

years, the raiders are 0-10 after the by week. getting sacked ten times with three turnovers and hopes to remedy that sunday in this battle of two and four teams. >> i got to take stuff off of them. it's not all on them. i got to inspire those guys and keep on inspiring them and be a leader to them and, you know, it's not all on those guys that played the kc game. they will be better and i'll be better on sunday. >> preseason hoops, warriors and kings in sacramento. mike malone with the king's head man. second quarter andre iguodala for the alley-ooalley-oop. hope to see a lot of that. led all scores with 24 and reverse layup and warriors up one point by 17 but the kings roar back in the fourth. the three, got it. seven seconds remaining and

kings will win it 91-90. i mentioned earlier, i went to the first trip in the nfl, st. louis football cardinals. >> wow. >> that's how long ago it was. played against minnesota. the jet lag was so bad it was one of the worst nfl games ever. they go a week in advance. >> from the west coast, a nine-hour difference. >> ridiculous. >> all right. >> and west, evidently not helpful for the raiders after the by-week. >> not at all. we'll see. that ends this edition of abc news. for all of us here, i'm dan ashley. thanks so much for watching. we appreciate your time. connect with us online, twitter, facebook or your mobile devices.
