BUFFALO, N.Y. - Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula are hitting the road to take part in the search for a coach.And a stop in San Diego to interview Chargers offensive co-ordinator Frank Reich on Sunday is on the itinerary, a person familiar with the search process told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not outlined their plans to replace Doug Marrone, who abruptly stepped down Wednesday.Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase was already scheduled to be interviewed in Denver on Saturday.A second person familiar with the process told the AP that the Pegulas will take part in the interviews. That way, the co-owners can familiarize themselves with the candidates and directly address questions regarding their vision for the franchise and its front-office hierarchy.The Pegulas, who also own the NHLs Buffalo Sabres, are new to NFL. They bought the Bills for a league-record $1.4 billion in October from the estate of Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson, who died in March.General manager Doug Whaley will conduct the interviews and President Russ Brandon will take part as an adviser.The team has not put a cap on the number of candidates it will interview, or placed a timetable on hiring a coach.The Bills are in the unusual position of embarking on their sixth coaching search in 14 years despite a 9-7 finish, which matched Buffalos best record in a decade. The Bills, however, missed the playoffs to extend the NFLs longest active post-season drought to 15 years.The teams chain of command was among the reasons Marrone exercised an opt-out clause in his contract, which came into effect with the change in ownership. The second-year coach, who will collect $4 million in salary he was due next season, was unsure whether the Pegulas were going to restructure their front office.The Pegulas have proposed hiring a veteran presence to oversee the football operations.Bill Polian, 72, was a candidate to fill the newly created role. But the Bills former general manager informed the Pegulas on Thursday that Marrones departure and quarterback Kyle Ortons retirement led to his decision to stay in his current role as an NFL TV and radio broadcaster.That makes the coaching search the Bills immediate priority.Buffalo is one of four teams to express interest in Gase, who has spent the past two years overseeing a Peyton Manning-led offence that has been among the NFLs most potent attacks.Gase is available to be interviewed in Denver during the Broncos weekend off, before they prepare to host an AFC Divisional playoff game on Jan. 11. He cannot be hired until Denver is finished playing.Reich is very familiar to Buffalo. The former quarterback spent his first 10 NFL seasons with the Bills, and served as a dependable backup to Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.Reich was most memorably the starter in Buffalos 41-38 overtime win over the Houston Oilers in an AFC wild-card playoff on Jan. 3, 1993. The Bills rallied from a 35-3 third-quarter deficit, which stands as the NFLs largest comeback.Reich completed his second season with San Diego, and first as a co-ordinator. He oversaw a Philip Rivers-led attack that finished 18th in the NFL in yards gained and 17th in points.Reich previously spent four seasons as an offensive assistant in Indianapolis, where he also worked with Manning. In 2012, Reich was a receivers coach with the Arizona Cardinals.Bills defensive co-ordinator Jim Schwartz is also considered a candidate. He joined the Bills a year ago after spending five seasons as the Detroit Lions head coach.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Air Max 97/1 Sean Wotherspoon Fake .

HOUSTON -- Dirk Nowitzki scoffed at the notion that hes playing as well now as he did when he led the Dallas Mavericks to a title in 2011. He will, however, concede that at age 35 hes having a pretty good season. Nowitzki scored 31 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Mavericks to a 111-104 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday night. He joked that his big night was simply luck before getting serious and discussing the work he puts in off the court. "Hopefully I can light it up a couple of more years and then slowly fade away," he said, breaking into a huge smile. Dallas coach Rick Carlisle isnt surprised at what Nowitzki, who is averaging 21.5 points a game, is doing for his team this season. "Hes the great Dirk Nowitzki," Carlisle said. "Hes one of the great players in the history of the game." Nowitzki missed the first 27 games of last season after knee surgery and the Mavericks missed the playoffs for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. He feels like his game is good now and his injury is behind him, but he wants to do more. "The driving the ball is whats missing a little now," he said. "I do a lot of one or two dribble and then up, but I want to get back to driving some more to the basket and get to the foul line. I dont think Im in 11 shape, but compared to the last two years I feel a lot better. The right knee is great and I feel better." Nowitzkis performance on Monday night gave him 25,629 career points, which moved him past Alex English for 13th place in scoring in NBA history. Houston cut the lead to six after a 3-pointer by Aaron Brooks with about 3 1/2 minutes left, but Nowitzki knocked down consecutive baskets to push the Mavericks lead to 107-97. Houston coach Kevin McHale was frustrated that his team was unable to slow Nowitzki down. "We tried a bunch of different stuff," McHale said. "We tried showing and coming back. We tried staying on there. We tried running at him. Nothing seemed to work." Dwight Howard had 29 points and 15 rebounds for the Rockets, who were playing their second straight game without leading scorer James Harden, who was out with a sprained left ankle. Dallas started the final period by using a 9-4 run powered by three 3-pointers, including two from Jae Crowder, to push the lead to 95-82.dddddddddddd Jeremy Lin, who has been out since Dec. 13 because of back spasms, scored 20 and Chandler Parsons had 21 for Houston. Dallas outscored Houston 17-10 over the last five minutes of the third quarter to stretch a one-point lead into an 86-78 advantage entering the fourth quarter. Vince Carter scored seven points during that time and Crowder added five. Monta Ellis had 18 points for Dallas, Carter had 16 and Jose Calderon added 15 points with five assists. With the speedy Harden out, the Rockets relied on their inside game and outscored the Mavericks 60-32 in the paint. But the Mavericks had the advantage from 3-point range, where they made 11 to Houstons seven 3-pointers. "They hit a lot of tough shots tonight, especially in the second half," Howard said. "They shot great the whole game. When a team is shooting that good they are tough to beat." A 15-1 spurt by Dallas to open that second half erased a seven-point halftime deficit and gave the Mavericks a 65-58 lead with eight minutes left in the third quarter. Nowitzki led the way in that stretch, making seven points including a 3-pointer. The Rockets came out flat to start the third, missing six shots and turning the ball over twice in the first few minutes of the quarter. The Rockets finally snapped out of their offensive slump after that, using a 10-4 run to get within 69-68 with about 5 1/2 minutes left in the quarter. Parsons made four quick points near the end of it before Howard put an exclamation point on the run with a nifty sideways alley-oop dunk. Houston led by one point about six minutes before halftime and used an 11-2 run over the next four minutes to extend its lead to 52-42. Howard got things going in that span by scoring six straight points and capped the run with a free throw. The Rockets led 57-50 at halftime.
