CARSON, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Galaxy clinched a playoff berth with a scoreless draw against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday night. The Galaxy (15-11-7) are third in the Western Conference, two points behind Portland and one back of Real Salt Lake. They were eliminated from contention for the Supporters Shield, which goes to the team with the best regular-season record. Seattle also secured a playoff spot with the result, and will take on Los Angeles in a regular-season finale next Sunday night. The Galaxy have won the last two MLS Cups. "A hard-fought contest, kind of like a playoff atmosphere," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "San Jose played a good game, the kind of game we thought theyd play, and in the end its probably a fair result." Asked about the playoff berth, Arena cracked: "Oh, Im just doing cartwheels over that." The Earthquakes (13-11-9) are sixth in the West, three points behind Seattle and Colorado. The top five teams in each conference make the playoffs. San Jose reaches the post-season if Colorado loses to Vancouver next weekend and the Earthquakes beat FC Dallas while scoring at least 13 goals, more if the Rapids score. "Weve got a very disappointed locker room right now," San Jose coach Mark Watson said. "Well approach (next weeks) game trying to score as many goals as possible, but I think weve put ourselves in a very difficult position." Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and Omar Gonzalez returned to the lineup for the Galaxy, who had more of the ball and the better play but struggled to create chances. Their best opportunity was in the 83rd minute, when Marcelo Sarvas forced a leaping stop from goalkeeper Jon Busch. Los Angeles thought it deserved a penalty kick when Gyasi Zardes went down in San Joses box after a challenge from Walter Martinez, but referee Baldomero Toledo made no call. The Earthquakes had four legitimate scoring chances, all in the first half, and were pressing in the final minutes. Clarence Goodsons diving header from a free kick rolled just past the right post in the 15th minute. Davon House Packers Jersey .

Tampa Bays second-year running back rushed for 1,454 yards and scored 12 touchdowns as a rookie, and the Buccaneers believe hes capable of performing even better in 2013. Especially with two of the teams best players -- guards Carl Nicks and Davin Joseph -- returning from injuries to strengthen the offensive line. Martin finished third in the NFL behind Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson with 1,926 total yards from scrimmage in 2012. He was fourth in rushing behind Peterson, Alfred Morris, Marshawn Lynch and Jamal Charles after being selected with the 31st overall pick of last years draft. Now, hes eager to build on that success. "Im more confident in what Im doing out there. I cant wait for the season to start," Martin said following practice during the teams three-day mandatory minicamp. "Theres a lot of room to improve. Its the second year in this system," the former Boise State standout said. "Getting a second year under our belt, everyone looks pretty comfortable." The Bucs traded up to select the 5-foot-9, 215-pound Martin late in the first round of the draft, confident that he had the size and toughness to be an every-down back as a pro. After a relatively quiet first six weeks of his rookie season, Martin burst into the spotlight with a 29-carry, 135-yard performance in a nationally televised Thursday night game against Petersons Minnesota Vikings. He also turned one of his three pass receptions into a 64-yard touchdown. The following week he averaged 10 yards per carry while running for 251 yards and four TDs to key another road victory at Oakland. The team-record output included touchdown bursts of 45, 67 and 70 yards, making him the first player in NFL history to score three rushing TDs of 45 or more yards in the same game. "Every day he comes in and gives it his best," quarterback Josh Freeman said, adding the return this season of Nicks and Joseph, should give Martin a chance to be even more effective in 2013. "Having Carl and Davin back and healthy, thats going to make a huge diffference," Freeman added.dddddddddddd"Im not saying youre expecting a drop-off or anything, but those are two All Pro-calibre guys coming back, and I know theyre really hungry, really eager to get back on the field." The soft-spoken running backs success as a rookie may have surprised some people, but not coach Greg Schiano, who has likened Martins style to that of Baltimores Ray Rice, who played for Schiano at Rutgers. As part of his preparation for the upcoming season, Martin has been watching film of some of the all-time great NFL running backs, including Jim Brown and Walter Payton. "Theyre relentless runners," Martin said. "What I learn from watching them is it took three or four guys to bring them down. Dont let one guy bring you down, just always run hard." As good as Martin was as a rookie, Schiano said he -- and the entire offence for that matter -- figures to benefit from a second year in the Bucs system. "Absolutely," Schiano said. "If you look at him, I think he looks better now than he did this time last year -- physically, understanding-wise, all those things. I think theres another level for him for sure." Freeman became Tampa Bays first 4,000-yard passer in 2012, Vincent Jackson had 72 receptions for 1,384 and eight touchdowns, and Martin had five 100-yard games and broke the teams rookie rushing record. To cap it off, Martin was selected to play in the Pro Bowl. "Being a rookie, it was crazy seeing all those vets. Youve got the Manning brothers, Drew Brees, everybody. It was crazy," Martin said, adding one of the highlights of the trip was "just hanging out with the guys" and practicing with players such as Peterson, Lynch and Larry Fitzgerald. His stellar first season also has made him more recognizable around the Tampa Bay area. "That comes with the game and being successful on the field," he said of fan reaction to him in public. "I say: Thank you very much, thank you very much. At the same time youve got to brush it off because youve got to get back out on the field and do it again." Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
