The first season was a disappointment as he ran for 273 yards on 84 carries through seven games. The second season saw him score 11 touchdowns over nine games Joe Thomas Jersey , win AFC offensive player of the month for December and average six yards a carry on his way to 1,059 rushing yards.Henry’s goal for this year is to have a full year that reflects the kind of productivity he showed in the second half of 2018.“You have to play at a high level,” Henry said, via the team’s website. “You can’t have that inconsistency throughout the season like I had last year. Seasons come with adversity, but I have to focus on being consistent and efficient and being a great player for this team.”Henry missed time with a lower leg injury this summer and won’t play in the preseason, but he said he’ll be good to go for Week One and the start of his effort to put together the full season that eluded him last year. The official Browns T-shirt slogan for 2019 should have been Chris Hubbard Color Rush Jersey , “This is fine.”Even when they win, if feels like they lost. Today’s distractions came from receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who reportedly has told players and coaches from other teams that he wants out of Cleveland — and who refused to address the situation after the game.Quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is always brutally honest, criticized the team’s training staff for the way that it handled Beckham’s sports hernia, which has plagued him all season.“It wasn’t handled right in our training room https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Seth-Devalve-Jersey ,” Mayfield said.That’s a stunning comment from Mayfield, one that will potentially create hard feelings and awkward moments in the building. But maybe that’s what needs to happen to finally drag the Browns out of the doldrums and into consistent contention.If players aren’t doing their jobs, they get called out. Others whose job performance is critical to the success of a football team shouldn’t be immune from that.
This week https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Geronimo-Allison-Jersey , the Green Bay Packers return home for their first game at Lambeau Field in a month. But for the second straight week, the green and gold get to face a bottom-tier NFC East team, as Washington heads to town for their first game in Lambeau since 2013.The two teams have played three times in the last four seasons, but all three of those contests game in the DC area. The Packers won a Wild Card game following the 2015 season, then lost two straight regular season games in 2016 and 2018. Now with the teams sporting opposite records, Green Bay has a chance to maintain at least a full-game lead on the Minnesota Vikings with a win on Sunday.This week’s game, however, is hardly one of the premier matchups on the schedule or even in its own time slot. Both honors probably belong to the San Francisco 49ers-New Orleans Saints contest, one that will have a huge impact on the NFC’s playoff seeding. Surprisingly, however Oren Burks Jersey , a 49ers win to push them to 11-2 may not even push them ahead of the Saints, who would be 10-3, because of the Seattle Seahawks holding a tiebreaker.The Packers, however, have a chance to get their defense clicking. Washington’s offense ranks in the bottom two or three in the NFL in essentially every notable statistical category, sitting last in points, yards, and first downs, and in the 30s in several other areas. Apologies to those of you outside the upper Midwest or the DC-Maryland-Virginia area, as you probably will not get the game on your local TV. Check out the map and the rest of our Game Primer below here to get ready for Sunday’s contest.WHO?Washington (3-9) vs. Green Bay Packers (9-3)WHEN?Sunday Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , December 8, 201912:00 Noon Central Time (1:00 PM Eastern)WHERE?Lambeau FieldGreen Bay, WisconsinHOW?506sports.comWashington vs. Packers in greenGame not available on AFNTV BroadcastFOXCommentators: Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber, Lindsay CzarniakRadio BroadcastPackers Radio NetworkWTMJ.comSirius 81, XM 225ANYTHING ELSE?OddsPoint spread: Packers favored by 13 pointsOver/under total: 42Last MeetingWeek 3 2018: @Washington 31, Packers 17All-Time Head-to-Head RecordRegular season: Packers lead 18-15-1Playoffs: Packers lead 2-1 Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith has come a long way from a torn ACL that derailed his career and caused him to plunge out of the top 10, losing millions in the process. After one season as a full-time starter, he has now received millions, in the form of a second contract.Here are the Smith terms Jimmy Graham Color Rush Jersey , per a source with knowledge of the deal.1. Signing bonus: $5 million.2. 2019 base salary: $835,678, fully guaranteed.3. 2020 option bonus: $8 million, due on the fifth day of the league year, fully guaranteed.4.2020 base salary: $5.171 million, fully guaranteed.5. 2021 base salary: $7.2 million, guaranteed for injury; fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2021 league year.6. 2022 base salary: $9.2 million; guaranteed for injury; fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2022 league year.7. 2023 base salary: $11 million.8. 2024 base salary: $11 million.9. 2025 base salary: $12.35 million.The deal also has a $500,000 annual de-escalator, if he fails to participate in 90 percent of the offseason workouts.The contract includes $19 million fully guaranteed at signing, and another $16.4 million in injury guarantees.Smith’s new contract runs through 2025. It’s a six-year extension through the end of his rookie deal but a five-year extension beyond the no-brainer restricted free agency tender that the Cowboys most likely would have applied at a first-round level. (Smith’s inability to play as a rookie made him ineligible for the franchise tag in 2020.)The new-money average of $12.75 million puts Smith at No. 5 among all inside linebackers https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Muhammad-Wilkerson-Jersey , but the total guarantee of $35.4 million puts him at No. 2, only behind Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley.For Smith, the guarantee is the key. Not long ago, it appeared he’d never reach his full NFL potential. He quickly has, and he needed to grab the cash while he could — especially in light of the inherent dangers of the linebacker position and his specific injury history, a torn ACL that wiped out his first season and kept him from reaching his stride until his three NFL campaign.
https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Tarell-Basham-Jersey , the Indianapolis Colts are creating a buzz around town.They ran the ball effectively Sunday against one of the league's top defenses, stymied two of the league's premier receivers in back-to-back weeks and ended Houston's nine-game win streak and Dallas' five-game win streak.Earning victories in their last two games could send the Colts back to the playoffs for the first time in four years and they could be a difficult matchup in the postseason, if they make it. "I can absolutely feel a significant difference in the last few weeks compared to the beginning of the year," coach Frank Reich said when asked about the atmosphere around town."Not that I get out very much because I don't, but the little bit I do, the Starbucks in the morning or wherever it may be on a Friday night for dinner with my wife. You can feel the excitement by the fans and it's exciting for all of us here in the building. It's fun to see."It's been a long time coming for a team that seemed like an annual postseason lock for a 15-year span starting in 1999.When the Colts went 8-8 and missed the playoffs in 2015, fans largely considered it an aberration because Andrew Luck missed nine games with injuries.Luck returned in 2016, but when the Colts again finished 8-8 and missed out, the debate changed. Many wondered if the team needed a fresh start and team owner Jim Irsay responded by firing general manager Ryan Grigson.Then with Luck missing all of last season to recuperate from surgery on his throwing shoulder, the Colts staggered to a 4-12 mark, missed the playoffs for the third straight year and coach Chuck Pagano was fired.Many outsiders figured the Colts needed a major overhaul, a perception that was reinforced by Josh McDaniels' decision to back out of a deal to become Indy's new head coach shortly after New England's Super Bowl loss, Luck's lingering rehab and Indy's 1-5 start this season.But general manager Chris Ballard and Reich, Indy's second choice as coach, have put together a winning combination by staying the course.The balanced offense Grigson and Pagano craved for so long finally materialized after Indy (8-6) found two key solutions to its offensive line woes in the draft — left guard Quenton Nelson and right tackle Braden Smith. Luck benefited by turning in the best season of his career and the Colts have overcome injuries to win seven of their past eight."A good leader will get guys to do what he wants them to do and believe in themselves whether you're 1-5 or 7-1 through the last eight games," offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said Tuesday."It's obviously his leadership abilities and then Frank being an example of what we want players to be. What I mean by that, is that we want players to be the same guy every single day. … Frank definitely does that because he is the same guy every day."The defense might be the biggest surprise.After years of languishing near the bottom of the league rankings, first-year coordinator Matt Eberflus has worked wonders.Originally hired by McDaniels and inherited by Reich, with a strong recommendation from Ballard, the Colts made Pro Bowl receivers Amari Cooper and DeAndre Hopkins look ordinary the past two weeks while holding NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott to 87 yards rushing and pitching their first shutout in more than four years on Sunday.They've consistently put pressure on quarterbacks, forced turnovers and against the Cowboys delivered big play after big play with a simple philosophy — run to the ball."Hustle is a learned skill," Eberflus said. "It is the coach's job to stay on it with the player to give him the feedback on every single play. That starts way back in OTAs (offseason team activities, all the way through minicamp and then through training camp every single play."Now comes the hard part — finishing strong.A victory over the struggling Giants, coupled with a loss by either Pittsburgh or Baltimore this weekend, would give the Colts control of their destiny in the season finale at Tennessee (8-6), a team Luck has never lost to as a starter.It's enough to get everybody outside the locker room talking about potential playoff matchups for the first time in four years."We're playing great football," receiver T.Y. Hilton said after Indy's most recent victory. "Right now, you're either the train or you're on the tracks. Right now, we're rolling, so you better get on the train."Notes: Indy put starting defensive tackle Al Woods (foot) and backup linebacker Skai Moore on injured reserve Tuesday. Safety J.J. Wilcox was signed to the active roster, taking the spot of Woods. Former Indiana University star linebacker Tegray Scales was added to the practice squad. This season was a blast to be a Colts fan Tyquan Lewis Jersey , taking us on a ride down the stretch that most could not have expected. In many ways, good coaching and game planning alleviated the need to have top talent in many areas, and allowed the Colts to succeed despite some holes in the roster. With the offseason at hand, it is time for the team to begin the postmortem of this season, looking deeply at all the places they failed or performed below expectations. The front office will then set to work identifying ways to improve on their areas of need both in free agency and the draft. With the right additions, this team could be really good in the coming season.Here are the top team needs for the 2019 season: Wide ReceiverPhoto by Tim Warner/Getty ImagesThe Colts got the opportunity to see first-hand how big an impact an elite group of skill position players can make an offense in their road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. While they have a top receiving threat in T.Y. Hilton, they really have very little behind him both in terms of talent, and also in general in terms of bodies under contract. Ryan Grant and Dontrelle Inman will be unrestricted free agents this offseason, and I would expect to see Grant walk after a disappointing season. With Deon Cain set to return from an ACL tear, there is hope that he could step into a role as the number 2 wide receiver to T.Y. Hilton, but it would be foolish to assume that he can. While he looked incredible during training camp, he didn’t see real game action outside of his brief preseason play before injury, and he’ll be coming back from a significant injury which will likely hamper him to some degree. The Colts will be likely to address the receiver position both in free agency and the draft. It would also make sense for them to attempt to re-sign Dontrelle Inman, who really came on late in the season as a reliable weapon. If they manage to hit on a pickup and have Cain be as good as he looked to start the offseason last year, all the better.Defensive LinePhoto by Bob Levey/Getty ImagesWhile the Colts had a stout front seven against the run, they’ll be losing a couple key players and will need to look at replacements. Both Margus Hunt and Al Woods will be free agents this offseason, and with both men at 32 years old, it is tough to see Chris Ballard re-signing them. If there is one thing you can count on, it is that Ballard will continue to invest in the defensive and offensive lines, as he has repeatedly talked about the importance of winning in the trenches. There is always speculation about getting someone like DeMarcus Lawrence through free agency, but in a league where pass rush is at a premium, it is tough to see Dallas letting him go. Much of the rest of the free agent class of defensive linemen are on the back end of their career, meaning that Ballard will likely look to the draft to replenish talent while possibly signing another Denico Autry, a role player who is a good fit for the Colts’ scheme. Additionally, Jihad Ward, who played 6 games for the Colts before heading to IR, is a free agent and it would not be surprising to see the Colts re-sign him.We should expect both the edge rusher and interior defensive linemen to be a major draft priority for the Colts this offseason.SafetyPhoto by David Eulitt/Getty ImagesMalik Hooker, George Odum, and Ahmad Thomas are the Colts’ only safeties who will be under contract to start the 2019 season at present. That means there are going to be some tough decisions ahead for them. Clayton Geathers and Matthias Farley are strong locker room leaders and are still relatively young, both are 27, but neither is a standout safety. There are some intriguing prospects on the market in free agency at the safety position Ryan Grant Color Rush Jersey , including Eric Reid, Kenny Vaccaro, and most notably, Landon Collins. It is my opinion that if Landon Collins actually hits free agency, the Colts should do whatever they can to bring him in. Pairing Collins and Hooker in the Colts safety room would make it one of the nastiest safety tandems in the NFL. Were I Chris Ballard, I would then go ahead and re-sign Geathers and Farley to be an incredibly talented backup duo. It wouldn’t surprise me to see a player picked up in the middle rounds of the draft to fill a safety position either.CornerbackPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesAt the beginning of the 2018 season, many might have put this position at the very top of the list as the Colts’ most prominent need. While it is still definitely a position in need of significant upgrade, the breakout season for Kenny Moore and an incredible back half of the season for Pierre Desir has alleviated the pressure to upgrade immediately at corner. Additionally, Quincy Wilson came on as the season progressed, and showed that there might yet be hope for him as a starter in this defense. Having said all that, there is certainly a need to add blue chip talent to this cornerback group. Pierre Desir will be a free agent, and while they’d like to retain him, at 28, they need to be considering adding new young players who can grow and develop in this system. There isn’t really an all-star cornerback who will be a big draw in free agency, so I’d look for them to re-sign Desir and invest in a player through the draft to fill out this room in the long term. Tight EndPhoto by Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesSeeing the tight end group listed here might be a bit of a surprise. Jack Doyle will likely return healthy, and Eric Ebron had a career year. Mo-Alie Cox really came on as a blocker toward the end of the season and is still a very raw prospect as well. The position looks like a relative strength for the team. However, Jack Doyle will be entering a contract year, and will be 29 to start the season. He very well could be re-signed and play for several more years, but the Colts would be wise to be looking for his long-term replacement. Eric Ebron proved that while he is a deadly red zone weapon, he simply will never be a dominant tight end in the way that someone like Travis Kelce or Rob Gronkowski are able to be. Getting Doyle back to pair with Eric Ebron will make this group a dynamic one, but given Frank Reich’s tendency to use lots of heavy packages and multiple tight ends, it would be almost surprising not to see the team draft one. ConclusionThe good news for the Colts is that their areas of need line up really well with strengths of this year’s draft class. That is GM Chris Ballard’s preferred means of roster replenishment, and it seems as though the talent is going to be there for him to pull from. In fact, according to The Draft Network, interior defensive line, edge defender, and wide receiver are the deepest positions in this draft. That is great news for the Colts, and if they can have another draft class like the one they had in 2018, we can expect another really fun year.
Last season Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , Bobby Wagner took his game to another level, becoming a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate in a league dominated by quick twitch edge rushers and disruptive forces inside. Though he didn’t end up winning the award, he seemed to finally settle the debate surrounding the best off-ball linebacker in the NFL. The second level belonged, and still belongs, to Bobby Wagner. For an encore in 2018, Wagner is playing even better. His game dropped off a bit towards the end of last season, as injuries slowed him down. He hasn’t faced such a problem in 2018 and is destroying everything in his path on the way to another first-team All-Pro selection. The soft-spoken Wagner didn’t begin to gain much traction in the Defensive Player of the Year race last season until around this time, when his weekly dominance became too much to ignore. This year Duane Brown Color Rush Jersey , it was a comment from Pete Carroll following the Seahawks’ loss to the Chargers that got the ball rolling. This is a defender who was a part of one of the best units of all-time, which featured at least two future Hall of Famers, and he will likely go down as the best of the bunch. And somehow, his best half of football came earlier this season. Less than a month later, he may have topped that performance, dominating in Seattle’s victory over the 49ers. Again Carroll heaped praise upon his star defender, saying Wagner’s “playing as good as you can play the game.”In 2018, Wagner will again likely be beaten out by Aaron Donald for Defensive Player of the Year. Donald is breaking the mold and opposing offenses on a weekly basis K.J. Wright Color Rush Jersey , so that’s completely justified. But through 13 weeks, Wagner has been impossibly good: Playing over 91% of the defense’s snaps, Wagner has 99 tackles and has accounted for 15% of the team’s tackles—without missing a single one. This is the second consecutive season Wagner’s entered the regular season’s final month yet to miss a tackle. Incredible became the standard on Seattle’s defense during a historic four year run earlier this decade. In keeping with the tradition, Wagner has made incredible look completely normal for a Seahawks defense that is led by its middle linebacker.

Meanwhile http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jason-spriggs-jersey , Spencer Ware is the only real notable player picked in this spot in recent years."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareSharePackers Draft Pick History: Seven picks at #194 with little to show for itJay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY SportsThe Green Bay Packers hold ten draft picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, and for a team that has a storied, 100-year history, they have predictably made selections in the past at every one of these draft slots. Over the next few days leading up to this year’s draft, Acme Packing Company will examine the Packers’ history at each current slot for 2019, as well as run down the names of recent picks around the league at the position.The Packers’ second draft pick in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft comes courtesy of the Seattle Seahawks. General manager Brian Gutekunst obtained the 194th overall pick in the draft last August, when he traded backup quarterback Brett Hundley to Seattle. If the Packers make their pick there, that will be the eighth time they have selected in that spot in team history. However, of the team’s seven picks, only one ever played in an NFL game.There’s not much in NFL history, either. The top player picked there in the NFL Draft by Approximate Value is receiver Leonard Thompson, the Lions’ pick in 1975. However, the Denver Broncos made linebacker Dave Edwards the 194th pick of the 1962 AFL Draft Womens Jimmy Graham Jersey , and he went on to a great career. However, it was in the NFL, not the AFL, as he became a starter for the Dallas Cowboys for over a decade.Meanwhile, the most notable recent pick at 194 is Spencer Ware, who has built a nice career as a backup running back for a handful of NFL teams, most recently the Kansas City Chiefs.Here are the names in the Packers’ history and over the past eight years in the NFL.Packers’ History at #1941939: Willard Hofer, B1940: Vince Eichler, B1942: Henry Woronicz, E1949: Larry Cooney, B1961: Nelson Toburen, LB1969: Doug Gosnell, C1974: Monte Doris Bryan Bulaga Jersey White , LBToburen is the only player in this list to play in the NFL, suiting up for 24 games with one start over the 1961 and 62 seasons. He was part of NFL Championships in both of those campaigns, however.Recent History at #1942018: Russell Gage, WR, LSU (Falcons)2017: Vincent Taylor, DT, Oklahoma State (Dolphins)2016: Cory James, LB, Colorado State (Raiders)2015: Nick O’Leary, TE, Florida State (Bills)2014: Keith Wenning, QB, Ball State (Ravens)2013: Spencer Ware http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-kentrell-brice-jersey , RB, LSU (Seahawks)2012: Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa (Eagles)2011: Markell Carter, LB, Central Arkansas (Patriots) SEATTLE (AP) — Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have faced off in a few memorable games in Seattle, from the “Fail Mary” to an unforgettable NFC championship game that sent the Seahawks to their second straight Super Bowl.For the fifth straight regular season — and the seventh time overall since 2012 — Green Bay and Seattle will meet again on Thursday night, but this time it’s positioning in a jumbled NFC playoff picture at stake.Washington, New Orleans, Chicago and the Los Angeles Rams are the division leaders in the NFC, leaving a pile of seven teams — including Seattle and Green Bay — within a couple of games of each other likely competing for the two wild-card spots. And every advantage or tiebreaker in that race — such as a head-to-head victory — could end up being crucial.“I know that this team is very, very capable of doing what we’re setting out to do,” Wilson said. “I think everybody should watch out (for) what we can do.”Seattle (4-5) has dropped two straight after winning four of the previous five Justin McCray Jersey , and hasn’t lost three straight since the middle of the 2011 season. Green Bay (4-4-1) snapped a two-game losing streak with a 31-12 thumping of Miami last week.The “Fail Mary” in 2012, the 2014 season opener when Seattle raised its Super Bowl banner and the NFC title game after the 2014 season are the only three times Rodgers has lost to the Seahawks in his career.The past two matchups with Seattle have been among Rodgers’ best, throwing for 311 yards in a 17-9 win to open last season and in 2016 posting a 150.8 passer rating in a 38-10 Green Bay rout.He also has the distinction of having won in Seattle — although that came 10 years ago.“It’s a tough environment like I said but we’ve definitely done it before,” Rodgers said. “You’ve just got to start fast, take care of the football. They’re very good at turning the ball over. I know this is different personnel on their side of the ball than we’ve seen over the years, but they’re still playing really well.”Rodgers and Wilson are being helped this year by improved run games that are among the best in the league. Green Bay’s Aaron Jones leads the NFL in yards per carry, while Seattle has the No. 1 rushing offense and last week rushed for 273 yards against the Rams without starting running back Chris Carson.Here’s what else to watch for on Thursday night:FIRST UPSeattle expects Carson to be available after missing last Sunday’s game with a hip injury. If Carson can go, he will be the starter. But Seattle finally saw the promise of rookie first-round pick Rashaad Penny last week when he rushed for 108 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. Penny showed the burst and big-play ability that had been missing through the first half of the season.Expect Penny to get additional chances no matter Carson’s health as the Seahawks look to use its three-back trio — Carson, Penny, Mike Davis — all of whom have 100-yard rushing games this season.SECONDARY MATTERSAnother week, another lineup shuffle likely in the Green Bay secondary. Kentrell Brice was walking in the locker room with a boot on his left foot early in the week, making it appear unlikely that he will be ready to go on a short turnaround.The Packers traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to Washington two weeks ago. Jermaine Whitehead was released last week. No Brice would mean probably mean veteran Tramon Williams and second-year player Josh Jones starting at safety. Kevin King (hamstring) also appears likely to miss another game, while fellow cornerback Bashaud Breeland (groin) was limited during the week.HERE’S JIMMYTight end Jimmy Graham is returning to Seattle for the first time since signing with the Packers as a free agent in the offseason. With just two touchdowns so far this year Womens Josh Jones Jersey , Graham perhaps hasn’t had quite the impact in the end zone as in 2017, when he had 10 scores with Seattle.But with 33 catches through nine games, Graham in on pace to match the production he had with the Seahawks. He’s also taking pride in his run-blocking, and his part in helping Aaron Jones run for career highs of 145 yards and two scores last week.“I know everybody knows me for running go routes and snagging touchdowns, but I think I’ve dedicated myself to the run, to being a part of that because I’m a tight end now,” Graham said on Sunday. “For us to be successful I’ve got to do those things and I’ve got to be good at them.”QUICK TURNAROUNDBecause of the quick turnaround from last Sunday several players have been ruled out. Along with Brice and King, the Packers have also ruled out wide receiver Randall Cobb and linebacker Nick Perry.Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright was listed as doubtful because of a knee injury that knocked him out of last Sunday’s game early. Carroll said Wright would be a game-time decision. Seattle sat Carson and guard D.J. Fluker against the Rams and both appear set to play against the Packers.
OffseasonDavid Morgan undergoes knee surgeryNew Brett Jones Jersey ,50commentsBut he should be fine in time for campCDTMinnesota Vikings’ tight end David Morgan is, apparently, a bit of a wild man. A few days ago, he won a contract from Chubbies to be a model for their clothing line for the next couple of years.And, apparently, he celebrated by. . .getting his knee operated on.Close, Personal Friend of The Daily Norseman Tom Pelissero™ is reporting that Morgan recently had surgery to do some “clean up” on the knee that caused him to miss several games in 2018. Before anyone gets too freaked out Dan Bailey Jersey , however, it’s expected that he’s going to be ready to go by Training Camp.Morgan hasn’t lit up the stat sheet since the Vikings drafted him in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. However, as Pelissero points out, he’s going to be a big part of the Vikings’ offense in 2019 because of his blocking skills. Hopefully the current prognosis is accurate and he’ll be able to get out on the field right away at the start of camp in. . .six weeks? Ugh.

LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys 2019 , I have a perfect streak of predictions going in the same way that the Browns do since the start of last year. Yes, none of last week’s bold predictions panned out, including the bonus prediction and the game forecast (this may be record setting, but no applause is necessary on your part just yet.) Hopefully this week will be more conducive to wild optimism.Disclaimer: A Bold Prediction is not something that is likely or probable to happen. Bold Predictions are blind guesses that are laughably optimistic beyond what anyone can reasonably expect to happen, but not so far as to be virtually impossible. Saying that Leonard Williams will get a sack is not a Bold Prediction, nor is saying that Bilal Powell will run for 650 yards. By definition, Bold Predictions are unlikely, but not impossible, to occur. Since this is a Jets site, they are also pro-Jets predictions. As always, the Final Score prediction is meant to be realistic, not a Bold Prediction.Here are the Bold Predictions for this rare Thursday Night Jets appearance:The much maligned Jets offensive line doesn’t surrender a single sack and the Jets rush for over 150 yards.Sam Darnold has no turnovers despite throwing for over 300 yards once again.Robby Anderson finds some chemistry with Darnold, going off for over 100 yards and 2 TDs.Leonard Williams finally blows up the stat sheet, posting at least 2 sacks, a forced fumble, and 5 tackles.Three different Jets will force fumbles and one will be returned for a TD.And a bonus prediction: There will be at least 200 million references to Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and their draft status.Final Score: The Jets manage to break 2 streaks by losing to the Browns 23-20 in overtime.

On paper Infant Joejuan Williams Jersey , the New England Patriots should have few problems against the New York Jets tonight: the team is 6-0 and entered Week 7 ranking first in the NFL in scoring on both offense and defense. The Jets, meanwhile, are just 1-4 heading into the Monday night showdown and have had some major struggles on both sides of the ball. Furthermore, the Patriots won the first meeting with a final score of 30-14.Football, however, is not played on paper and the Jets do present a formidable challenge despite their record and the accompanying statistics — and not just because they field a different quarterback this time around. After all, the team’s defense is also returning to full strength with linebacker C.J. Mosley and first-round defensive tackle Quinnen Williams expected to play after missing the Week 3 game against New England.Mosley and Williams are projected to see considerable action as two cornerstone players in the defense of coordinator Gregg Williams. The veteran coach, meanwhile, will incorporate them into one of the most aggressive schemes in the entire league: whether it is blitzes or disguised coverages, Williams like to challenge opposing offenses on a down-to-down basis and keep them off balance from the first to the last snap of the game.The Patriots experienced this during their first game against the Jets. They did score 30 points, yes, but New England’s passing game did have some problems going up against the coverage looks Williams and his unit threw at them — particularly after wide receiver Julian Edelman left the game in the late second quarter because of a chest injury. Just take a look at the Jets’ very first defensive snap of the game as an example:NFL Game PassUsing a 21-personnel package (two tight ends, one tight end, two wide receivers), New England saw plenty of motion on the other side of the line of scrimmage before the snap. The defense ultimately aligned in what looked like a single-high scheme like Cover 1 or Cover 3, but did move its weak-side perimeter cornerback — Nate Hairston (#21) — towards the middle of the field once the play got underway to show a different coverage: Cover 2.In its essence Joejuan Williams Jersey Draft , Cover 2 is a zone defense with the two safeties splitting the deep responsibilities. Just like every other coverage it does have its weaknesses, though, and the Patriots actually were in a position to exploit one of them: the aforementioned Julian Edelman (#11) originally aligned in the right-side slot and ran up the seam into the bubble created by the two safeties splitting wide to patrol their respective sides of the field.Quarterback Tom Brady (#12), however, is looking at the play differently: he is expecting a single-high look that would give tight end Ryan Izzo (#85) and his out-cutting route an opening on the left side of the field. With the Jets playing an inverted Cover 2, however, this portion of the field was crowded and Brady had to dump the football off to running back Brandon Bolden (#38) for what turned into a modest gain of 11 yards.Had Brady anticipated the post-snap switch or would have had more time in the pocket, however, he likely would have gone to Edelman over the top against the two-safety look. Alas, it was not meant to be as the Jets were able to lock down his initial read and force a short pass underneath — not the only time that da that the Jets were able to throw the Patriots off balance with their disguised Cover 2 looks.“The Jets played a lot of Cover 2, but they had two or three different ways of the way they played it and it kind of looks the same,” said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick after the first game against New York. “It’s not the same, and it really can affect the receivers’ rules and their adjustments because it just, it looks differently. Experience and understanding concepts and understanding route concepts and route coverages, that’s a big area of growth for the passing game.”This disguise-heavy look, as Belichick pointed out Joejuan Williams NFL Jersey , challenges a player’s schematic understanding of the defense he sees — a vital part of the Patriots’ offense as routes oftentimes develop differently against coverages. Edelman, for example, ran an appropriate route against the Jets’ Cover 2 on the play above, but Brady was not on the same page initially and had to go elsewhere against what initially looked like a single-high coverage.Tonight, the Patriots will likely face similar concepts as the Jets and Gregg Williams love to challenge a quarterback’s chemistry with his receiving corps. And with Josh Gordon and Rex Burkhead out because of injury, Brady and company will have to be on point in this area. Experienced options like Edelman, Phillip Dorsett and James White certainly help, but a youngster like Jakobi Meyers also needs to show strides and prove that he can earn his quarterback’s trust. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Ben Watson is at the point of his career in which he doesn’t want to take anything for granted.Not the 15 years the tight end has already played in the NFL with four teams. Not the Super Bowl he won with the Patriots as a rookie in 2004. And certainly not the opportunity to postpone his retirement to return to New England — the franchise that drafted him — despite facing a four-game suspension to begin the 2019 season for testing positive for a banned substance.But after the 38-year-old completed the first day of the Patriots three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, he said he wants to make the most of this latest chance to prolong his career.“You never know the road you’re gonna take,” Watson said. “My wife always says ‘Enjoy the journey.’ That’s something I’ve tried to do, although I’m very intense. I don’t enjoy it all the time as much as I should. But there really is a journey to life as well as to the NFL in general. I’m happy my journey brought me back here.”Watson, who spent last season with the Saints, announced in December that he would retire at the end of the 2018 season after dealing with years of injuries, including a torn Achilles tendon that sidelined him for the entire 2016 season when he was with the Ravens.He said in a Facebook post last week that in the aftermath of his decision to retire he was prescribed a testosterone supplement by his doctors to help his body begin to heal from the years of football.Before he could officially file his retirement papers, he said he was randomly drug tested following the end of last season. He was notified of a positive test Joejuan Williams NFL Draft , but cast it aside because he had no plans to return to football.That changed in late April when teams, including the Patriots, began to make overtures for him to return. While mulling over the offers, he said he was open about the positive drug test to his potential suitors.It didn’t deter the Patriots, who wound up signing him to a one-year, $3 million deal last month as they continue to look to fill their void created at the position following the retirement of Rob Gronkowski.It’s a new start for Watson, who is entering his second stint in New England after stops in Cleveland, New Orleans and Baltimore.Despite the impending suspension, he will have a realistic chance to make New England’s roster. He began the Patriots’ offseason workouts as one of only three veteran tight ends on the roster, joining Austin Seferian-Jenkins, 26-year-old Matt LaCosse and a handful of rookies.That group thinned out a little more after the team released Seferian-Jenkins on Tuesday.But Watson said he’s not approaching his second stint in New England with thoughts about being Gronk’s successor.“None whatsoever. Every year is a new team, whether a same player in in the same position or not, there’s always turnover in the NFL,” he said. “So, my biggest thing is always learning what to do and perform to the best of my abilities.”Still, the Patriots are going to need to find somebody at the position that 41-year-old quarterback Tom Brady trusts and is comfortable throwing to in the offense.Watson is four years removed from his 2015 season with New Orleans in which he caught 74 passes for 825 yards and six touchdowns — all career highs. He appeared in all 16 games for the Saints last season Joejuan Williams Buffalo Bills Jersey , catching 35 passes for 400 yards and two touchdowns.He said finding chemistry with Brady is something he will have to rediscover, but that the comfort is certainly there for the two vets.“There’s very few guys I can step on the field with and say, ‘Man, I look up to that guy.’ I played with one in New Orleans in Drew Brees, a guy that’s been in the league a few more years than me,” Watson said.“Obviously coming in as a rookie and walking into a locker room where Tom Brady who was a young Tom Brady then, just four or so years in the league, but he was very accomplished.“For him to still be on the field is very cool for me. In that I’m still an older guy, but there’s still somebody for me to sort of pattern myself after as well.”Notes: The Patriots signed third-round pick and defensive lineman Chase Winovich. The 6-foot-3, 255-pounder was a four-year letter winner at Michigan, playing in 45 games with 26 starts and totaled 185 tackles, 18 sacks and three forced fumbles.
the most players taken in the NFL draft for the 13th year in a row.Twelve of the first 24 picks of the second round Friday night were from the SEC Wayne Gallman Jerseys 2019 , and at the end of the third the conference could lay claim to more than a quarter of the players drafted, 28 of 102.The Big Ten, which had seven players go in the third round, has 16 picks so far, followed by the ACC (12) and the Pac-12 and Big 12 (11 each).Florida offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor was the first of three straight SEC players chosen in the second round, going No. 35 overall to the Jaguars. South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel (49ers) and Mississippi offensive lineman Greg Little were next.Missouri quarterback Drew Lock White Sterling Shepard Jerseys , who went No. 42 to the Broncos, started a run of four SEC players taken over five picks.The SEC, which had nine first-round picks Thursday, had 19 players taken Friday.“In the SEC, I had 35 career starts. I left a year early, but I feel like I was ready and prepared to play in the NFL because I played against a lot of great competition Sterling Shepard Jerseys 2019 ,” Taylor said. “Definitely playing at Florida, playing in such a great conference prepared me for this role.”Every SEC school except Arkansas and Tennessee had at least one player drafted in the first three rounds. Alabama has a league-high five and Mississippi and Mississippi State have four each.Defending national champion Clemson has had four players selected to lead the ACC.Last year, the SEC had 27 players drafted through three rounds and finished with 53, and Alabama led the nation with 12.Southern California, the school that has produced the most drafted players in history, didn’t have a player taken until offensive tackle Chuma Edoga was picked by the New York Jets with the 92nd overall pick. That’s the longest USC has had to wait for a player to be selected since 2001.Old Dominion had its first player drafted in program history when defensive end Oshane Ximines went to the Giants in the third round.

As arrangements were being planned, the team announced a special tribute to Castro will take place the weekend of the home opener, September 22nd in Orchard Park.Castro’s long-time girlfriend Veronica Borjon and the team announced that instead of holding an event in Western New York now White Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys , it would be best to wait until a raucous Bills crowd could be in attendance. “Before his death, Castro – a mortician – daydreamed about the idea of having another viewing this month at New Era Field,” according to The Buffalo News, who profiled Castro weeks before he died. “If Borjon had decided on such an event, she believes the Bills would have done their best to make it happen. But the sequence of memorials in Texas will be tiring for the entire family, and their son Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys 2019 , Gino, is still not done with the school year.”In the meantime, Bills fans (and non-Bills fans) are celebrating Castro’s legacy with a campaign aimed at providing school supplies to needy children. With the note #PANCHOSPACK in the subject line for donations, people have donated more than $60,000 in Pancho’s name to a local charity.Those backpacks will be distributed in Western New York and throughout Texas in Castro’s memory.

Corporate sponsors White Ramon Humber Jerseys , past and present Bills players, and football fans from all over the country have lined up to be a part of Castro’s legacy.
Green Bay Packers.Coming off a victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday to move to 3-0 Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , the Packers got to remain at home for a short four-day week. This evening, they welcome the Philadelphia Eagles into Lambeau Field for Thursday Night Football.The Packers have basically all of their key players available tonight. Edge rusher and defensive captain Za’Darius Smith is in the lineup, a good sign for the Packers’ defense as a whole. Smith showed up on the injury report on Tuesday with a knee issue Josh Jones Jersey White , but he is active for the game and will start.The Eagles will be missing two defensive starters in cornerback Ronald Darby and defensive lineman Tim Jernigan, leaving the Packers with some advantageous matchups when Green Bay has the football.Tune in to see if the Packers can move to 4-0 in tonight’s game!Game UpdatesA Twitter List by TexWestern The Packers fell behind the Eagles by a touchdown early in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s game and their ensuing drive gave them a prime opportunity to tie the game.After a pass interference penalty on Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox, Green Bay had a first down on the Eagles’ 1-yard-line. They opted to throw the ball on the next four downs and all four passes fell incomplete Aaron Jones Jersey White , which left the score unchanged and left Packers head coach Matt LaFleur to say it was a “great question” to ask why the team didn’t try at least one run play to get the ball in the end zone.Outside of runs by Aaron Rodgers, the Packers managed 31 yards on 15 attempts and LaFleur’s answers about going pass-heavy focused on that lack of success as well as the impact of losing Jamaal Williams to an injury early in the game. LaFleur also noted that having Rodgers played a role in his thinking.“When you have one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, you trust him to continually gain yards and get down the field. We were able to accomplish a lot of what we wanted to do http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-ray-nitschke-jersey ,” LaFleur said, via PackersNews.com.They couldn’t accomplish all of what they wanted to do and they ultimately wound up with their first loss of the season as a result.
http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-randy-moss-jersey , when I’m myself, I can play well,” Griffen said Tuesday, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.The Vikings defensive end made 13 sacks and a third consecutive Pro Bowl in 2017. He dealt with mental health issues in 2018, keeping him out five games, and finished with only 5.5 sacks.Griffen opened up about his personal issues, saying he’s in a good place after a “rough year” that included hospitalization over concerns about his well-being.“It’s a progression each and every day,” Griffen said. “I’m taking it day by day, staying consistent with my life outside of football with those matters and stuff like that, and I’m happy. I’m happy. Am I back to myself? Yeah, I’m back to smiling, joking Womens Ameer Abdullah Jersey , that fun guy to be around, but I truly have an understanding of the things that I have to hold myself accountable with day in and day out. That’s what I took upon myself this offseason to handle and make sure I got a good handle on that to be able to come back with an open mind and ready to play football at a high level again.”Griffen, 31, took a pay cut to stay in Minnesota. He called it a “tough pill to swallow” but wants to finish his career with the Vikings. MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings hit their stride last year well before midseason, using an eight-game winning streak to build a 13-3 record for the second seed in the NFC.This year, the second half of the season is going to be much more difficult.More Vikings coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Rookie Bradbury is central figure to Vikings’ overhauled offensive lineVikings depth at cornerback being tested, Hughes still not clearedPlayers to watch at Minnesota Vikings 2019 training campTop Tweets: Vikings WR Diggs makes push for All-NFL Style TeamThe challenge starts with the schedule. The next five games include trips to Chicago, New England and Seattle, with two division-leading foes and one of the toughest venues to play in. Detroit and Green Bay are the home opponents during that stretch, bringing two dangerous quarterbacks to U.S. Bank Stadium.The Vikings are also 4-3-1, just behind the Bears in the NFC North and slightly ahead of the Packers, so they’ve squandered their margin for error.“I’m not disappointed Marcus Epps Minnesota Vikings Jerseys ,” coach Mike Zimmer said. “It is what it is. We have eight more games to go, and that will determine what we end up doing.”After losing 30-20 to New Orleans on Sunday night , the Vikings were mostly upset about the way they let the game slip away . They were in control late in the second quarter with a 13-10 lead, when Adam Thielen plunged forward for extra yardage and lost the ball at the 14-yard line. The Saints turned that fumble into a touchdown, making the potential cost of that rare mistake by Thielen a whopping 14 points.“It’s more frustrating because I think we had it going execution-wise and scheme-wise and all that,” Thielen said on Monday.“I think when it’s maybe a lack of concentration or just being too relaxed or what have you, that’s the frustrating part. Because you know how many times that you’ve done it a different way and the right way, and the one time you slip up it costs you maybe the game.”The other half of Minnesota’s dominant receiver duo, Stefon Diggs, was responsible for the other devastating turnover. Diggs stopped his drag route short before an under-pressure Kirk Cousins dumped the ball off to the spot where he expected Diggs to be had he kept running. The interception was returned for a score to give the Saints a 27-13 advantage.Thielen and Diggs were outspoken after the game about their acceptance of blame, but Zimmer wasn’t having it, and he said as much to the team.“Like I told them in the meeting today Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , the receivers need to stop saying that stuff because one person doesn’t lose a game. One person doesn’t win a game. We win around here as a team. We lose around here as a team,” Zimmer said.“Guys make mistakes, miscommunication, whatever you want to call it happens. I will never put any one of those one things on one player, ever.”Though the loss clearly hurt the Vikings in the conference and division standings, there were reasons for them to feel better about where they’re headed at the halfway mark. Thielen and Diggs don’t have a pattern of such gaffes, for one. They also played without six injured starters, and young subs such as right tackle Brian O’Neill, linebacker Eric Wilson and cornerback Holton Hill fared well in extended action.“I’m encouraged after this ballgame. I’m encouraged after the last four weeks,” Zimmer said. “If I was ticked off, I’d let them know. Trust me.”
The best of the games has the 8-1 New England Patriots heading to the City of Brotherly Love to square off against the 5-4 Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LII.The Patriots are looking to rebound from their first loss of the 2019 season Le’Veon Bell Jersey 2019 , a 37-20 shellacking at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens last week. After feasting on the dregs of the NFL to start the season the Patriots now find themselves facing five straight games against playoff contenders. This stretch should reveal a lot about the Patriots’ chances for yet another Super Bowl title.The Eagles have had a wildly uneven season so far in 2019. They have yet to string together more than two straight wins or two straight losses. The Eagles have beaten some very good teams and lost to some very bad teams. Coming off two straight wins against the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears, who knows what the Eagles will bring to the table this week against the Patriots? In other late afternoon action, the 8-1 San Francisco 49ers, like the Patriots, look to rebound from their first loss of the season last week. The 49ers draw a favorable matchup at home against the 3-6-1 Arizona Cardinals. Also in the late games the sad sack Cincinnati Bengals, the only remaining winless team in the NFL, make the long trip west to take on the 5-4 Oakland Raiders. The Raiders look to feast againt the hapless Bengals in what is shaping up as a surprising playoff push by the Raiders in Jon Gruden’s second year of his return to the sidelines as Raiders’ head coach. Enjoy the games everybody. Use this thread to comment on whichever late afternoon games catch your fancy. BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP)When linebacker Danny Trevathan returned to practice Monday after recovering from a pulled hamstring White Sam Darnold Jerseys , it left the Chicago Bears missing only one inside linebacker – first-round draft pick Roquan Smith.When Smith will join the team is hard to say.After the New York Jets reached a contract agreement Monday with quarterback Sam Darnold, Smith became the lone unsigned pick from the 2018 draft class.”We will continue to keep trying to do our best to make this thing happen,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said after Saturday’s practice. ”At the same time, what we need to do is we need to focus on who’s here right now, right? That’s the realism of it all.”Cash is not the problem – at least in terms of how much Smith is to be paid. That amount is slotted for the eighth pick of the draft.The stumbling block is whether the Bears should be allowed to take back guaranteed bonus money in the future from Smith if he is ever suspended for disciplinary reasons, including a violation of the league’s new rule preventing players from leading with their helmets.”Well, for both sides, it’s more of a language deal Sam Darnold Jerseys 2019 , a language-type deal,” Nagy said.Asked specifically if the issue is the helmet rule, Nagy said: ”That’s part of the issue with it. As far as the details, I’m not going to get into all that right now. That wouldn’t be fair to either party, but there’s some of that to it.”The new rule stipulates a player will be penalized for lowering his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet. The player will be ejected and could be subject to suspension if he is determined to have lowered his helmet to ”establish a linear body posture.”The Bears had a somewhat similar situation last year with Trevathan when he was suspended for an illegal hit on Packers wide receiver Davante Adams.In that instance, Chicago management never sought to reclaim any bonus money given to Trevathan.”They were on my side about the hit against Green Bay,” Trevathan said.As a result, Trevathan remained optimistic his new teammate will soon be in camp.”So I’m sure they’ll work it out White Joe Namath Jerseys ,” Trevathan said. ”It’s just details within a contract. We want him here.”Trevathan said he has been in contact with Smith during the holdout.”I’ve been talking to him, just making sure as a person he was all right, he’s not fading away from the game that he loves,” Trevathan said. ”I just make sure that he’s all right. I’ve been through some stuff.”I’m pretty sure he wants to take care of himself and he wants to get back in. I’m sure he’s missing just as much as we are.”Smith was fully involved in off-season work with the Bears, so Trevathan doubts his teammate will have any trouble catching up after the holdout ends.Chicago has an extra preseason game this season, so Smith’s holdout has come at a time when the Bears normally wouldn’t have been in training camp. They open preseason Thursday night in Canton, Ohio, against the Baltimore Ravens in the Hall of Fame Game.The Bears have traditionally been among the first teams to get all their draft picks signed. In one 10-year stretch Joe Namath Jerseys 2019 , they were the first team to sign all their picks nine times.They haven’t had a holdout of note since Cedric Benson missed 36 days in 2005.Nick Kwiatkoski and John Timu have taken most of the snaps at inside linebacker during training camp with the first team. Trevathan is practicing on a limited basis until he’s 100 percent healthy.Kwiatkoski has earned Nagy’s respect in scrimmages. A third-year player, Kwiatkoski had been a reserve but played extensively each of his first two years because of injuries and suspensions to Trevathan and former Bear Jerrell Freeman.”I love his mentality,” Nagy said of Kwiatkoski. ”He didn’t blink when we drafted Roquan. He stepped right on in there and put the horse blinders on and went after it.”—
His arm was hit as he tried to throw Youth Rob Gronkowski Jerseys , resulting in a fumble for yet another turnover. Rarely has the Bengals quarterback looked so bad. The Ravens have a way of doing it to him. Dalton matched his career high with four interceptions and lost a fumble Sunday, helping Baltimore pull away to a 20-0 victory – the first time Cincinnati has been shut out in a home opener. ”I know the type of player I can be,” Dalton said. ”I can’t let this affect the next one.” The Ravens have a history of tormenting Dalton. He’s thrown four interceptions only one other time during his seven-year career, against the Ravens in 2013. He’s thrown three interceptions in a game nine times, four of them against Baltimore. Two of the interceptions Sunday were tipped. One was forced into double coverage in the end zone . With the latest loss, Dalton is 6-6 career against Baltimore with 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He was under constant pressure Sunday as he went 16 of 31 for 170 yards. His passer rating of 28.4 was the second lowest of his career. Last season, he threw only eight interceptions in 16 games; he’s halfway to that total already. ”Andy is our leader, and none of us in the locker room are worried about that,” running back Jeremy Hill said. ”We know he can play at a high level. He has done so much for this organization and our team; that is the last thing on our mind.” It wasn’t all Dalton’s fault. An inexperienced offensive line got shredded in its first game together, allowing five sacks. The Bengals managed only 221 total yards, including 77 rushing. Left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, right tackle Jake Fisher and right guard Trey Hopkins have 19 combined NFL starts. Hopkins hurt his left knee late in the first half. Asked to assess the line’s performance Rob Gronkowski Jerseys Stitched , Ogbuehi said, ”Not good at all. This offense goes off us. We have to be better.” The Ravens limited A.J. Green to five catches – he was targeted 10 times – for 74 yards, making sure he wouldn’t add to his history of big games against them. ”They have a great front four,” Green said. ”They got a lot of pressure on Andy today.” The Bengals have given bigger roles to young players this season, and they showed growing pains in the first game. The defense gave up a 17-play drive in the third quarter that lasted 9 minutes, 38 seconds and essentially ended the game. Cincinnati extended the drive with three penalties. The Bengals hadn’t been blanked in their season opener since 1979, when they lost at Denver 10-0. They hadn’t been shut out at Paul Brown Stadium since 2001 by the Bears, two years before Marvin Lewis became head coach. ”I don’t know if I’ve ever been in such a disappointing football game,” Lewis said . — CINCINNATI (AP) — No matter how high the stakes, how big the deficit or how late in the game, Ben Roethlisberger and his tough-to-catch playmakers always find a way to leave the Bengals wondering what just happened.Chris Boswell kicked a field goal on the final play shortly after Antonio Brown caught a 6-yard touchdown pass — taking a hit to the head while landing in the end zone — and the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off another improbable comeback against the stunned Bengals, rallying for a 23-20 victory Monday night.Down 17-0 early Color Rush Damien Harris Jersey , the Steelers (10-2) extended their best start since 2004 in a physical game with a couple frightening injuries. Brown’s touchdown tied it at 20 with 3:51 to go — safety George Iloka was penalized for hitting him in the head after the catch. Boswell won it with 38-yard field goal, his second straight winner in the closing seconds.Both teams know the script.“It sort of reminded me of the playoff game — what was it, two years ago?” Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward said. “It’s sort of the best reality TV show out there — better than the Kardashians.”Two years ago, the Steelers came to Paul Brown Stadium and pulled out an improbable 18-16 playoff win set up by Cincinnati’s fumble and personal fouls on Vontaze Burfict and Adam “Pacman” Jones. Boswell won that one with a 35-yard kick with 14 seconds left.Desperate for a win to salvage their playoff hopes, the Bengals (5-7) still couldn’t find a way to beat their Ohio River rival, not even after getting off to the big early lead. They’ve dropped six straight and nine of 10 against Pittsburgh.“Very disappointing,” said Bengals receiver A.J. Green, who had two touchdown catches in the first half. “We had it.”Nope. They never do, not against the Steelers.“We’ve got a no-blink group,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “We’ve been in this situation before, and in this stadium before.”The hard-hitting game was full of personal fouls, penalties and injuries that could have a long-term effect Youth Damien Harris Jersey , especially for the AFC North leaders.Pittsburgh lost leading tackler Ryan Shazier to a back injury in the first quarter. The linebacker was taken off the field on a cart and taken to a hospital for evaluation. Tomlin had no details about his injury or his prognosis after the game. ESPN reported that Tomlin went to the hospital after the game to check on Shazier.“Ryan is one of the biggest players on this defense,” linebacker Vince Williams said. “When we need a big play, he’s one of the guys we look to. It’s going to be tough.”Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was carted off in the fourth quarter after JuJu Smith-Schuster leveled him with a high hit, then taunted him by walking over him.There were four penalties for unnecessary roughness, one for unsportsmanlike conduct, one for roughing the passer and another for taunting. The Bengals self-destructed with 13 penalties for a team-record 173 yards.The Steelers remain tied with New England for best record in the conference. They host the Patriots on Dec. 17.Bottled up by Cincinnati’s aggressive defense in the first half, Pittsburgh’s playmakers made the difference down the stretch, just as they have all season. They rallied to beat the Packers 31-28 last Sunday on Boswell’s 53-yard field goal on the final play, which was set up by Brown’s incredible sideline catch.After missing practice last week with an injured toe, Brown ran gingerly in pregame warmups and had another big game, finishing with 101 yards in eight catches.Le’Veon Bell ran for 76 yards and had another 106 yards on five catches, including a 35-yard touchdown play in which he remarkably kept his balance along the sideline — cornerback William Jackson pulled up Womens Damien Harris Jersey , thinking there was no way he could stay inbound.It’s the first time that Bell and Brown each had 100 yards receiving in the same game. Ben Roethlisberger was 24 of 40 for 290 yards with a pair of touchdowns and an interception.PRIME-TIME OPPOSITESThe Steelers have won 11 straight prime-time games, including four already this season against the Lions (Sunday night), the Titans (Thursday night) and the Packers (last Sunday night). It’s been a horrific time slot for the Bengals, who are 11-24 on Monday night, dropping their past four.PRIME-TIME PLAYERSRoethlisberger has won his last seven prime-time starts, throwing 26 touchdowns and five interceptions. In those games, Brown has 58 catches for 883 yards with 15 touchdowns.IN YOUR FACEBell and Burfict have a long-running feud on Twitter, and it got in-your-face right away. After Jones picked off a pass to end the Steelers’ opening possession, Bell shoved Burfict’s facemask and drove him to the ground, drawing a personal foul.BIG NUMBERRoethlisberger became the eighth quarterback in NFL history to reach 50,000 yards passing, joining Peyton Manning Authentic Damien Harris Jersey , Brett Favre, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Dan Marino, John Elway and Eli Manning.OTHER INJURIESSteelers: Brown missed practice last week with a toe injury. He moved slowly during pregame warmups but started and finished with eight catches for 101 yards.Bengals: Jones injured his groin on his first-quarter interception and didn’t return. Running back Joe Mixon suffered a concussion late in the first half.UP NEXTSteelers host second-place Baltimore (7-5) next Sunday night in their fourth prime-time game of the season. They won at Baltimore 26-9 on Oct. 1.Bengals host the Bears (3-9), completing a stretch of three straight home games. Cincinnati is 3-2 at Paul Brown Stadium this season.

I don’t really look too deep in that. I only can focus and control what I can control. I’m just thankful that the Giants picked me and I’m here and I’m a New York Giant.

With the preseason behind them, Pat Shurmur has given the New York Giants three days off and told them to start focusing on the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.While many players may not be going far from the team's facility, they have been given film of Jacksonville to study before returning Monday.New York finished a 2-2 preseason Thursday night with a 17-12 loss to the Patriots when all of the starters rested.Players did a little lifting and running Friday before being sent home. The coaches will spend the next day cutting the 90-man roster to 53 for the regular season. A 10-man practice squad will be added once the front office tweaks the final roster with cuts and additions from the waiver wire.General manager Dave Gettleman has promised the team will work the wire. Coming off a 3-13 season, New York has the second pick on all players waived."We've got a decent idea of the direction we're going to go with things Harry Carson Jerseys 2019 , but we still have some conversations," Shurmur said Friday. "I told that to the players, it's a credit to them. Every year, the players want to make it tough on us as to this guy or that guy. I think sometimes, you're right, you can be in a situation where it's pretty cut and dry. But I think we've had some guys that have played themselves into the mix."The Giants' roster is not deep, so it's unlikely Shurmur is going to have to shed any major talent. He plans to meet with all players cut and says he will tell them where they need to improve and to be ready in case a roster spot opens.For those who remain Infant Corey Ballentine Jersey , the opener at home is Sept. 9. Some preparations have already started."We have sort of leaned towards Jacksonville in some of our drill work, even though we didn't say, 'hey, this is a Jacksonville play' or 'this is Jacksonville's defense,'" Shurmur said. "It's out there, and I'm sure some of them will look at it, but we'll get them re-centered on Monday."Two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning Corey Ballentine Jersey Draft , who was 21 of 30 in the preseason, started looking at the Jaguars a couple days ago."Their front seven is talented, their back four is talented," Manning said of the team that blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead against New England in the AFC title game in January. "They have a good scheme and they do it very well. They play fast and are in the right spots. It will be fun to pick coach Shurmur's brain and see what plays we will have installed and what's the best way to attack them."The season opener will be the first time the Giants will try to put all their weapons on the field.Odell Beckham Jr. did not play in the preseason as Shurmur took a cautious approach with his star receiver coming off a broken ankle in early October. Halfback Saquon Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, missed the final three preseason games after injury a hamstring on Aug. 13.NOTES: Shurmur gave backup quarterback Davis Webb the night off against the Patriots because he felt the second-year pro had enough snaps. He threw 53 passes in three games. Rookie Kyle Lauletta and veteran Alex Tanney played against New England. ... LB Alec Ogletree said the new 3-4 defense is slowly coming along. "We got a good group of guys that come to work every day and do the right things. This up- and-coming week will be a really big test of how close we are to be the defense that we want to be."
back for one more season Womens Jerry Hughes Jersey , he said he thought the Bills were close to returning to the playoffs after a one-year absence.And the young quarterback who looks to him for inspiration and advice agrees, thinking the Bills are on the right track.“I think, if you look at this past year, we weren’t all that far off from being there this year,” Allen said, via Vic Carucci of the . I’d say there were a few games that got away from us, but for the most part, you can change four or five plays and the season might be a different story. So I definitely agree with him.“We’re looking to build something special. We’re looking to go back to the playoffs and develop a sustainable success in Buffalo. And that’s what we want to do. That’s what the city deserves.”The Bills finished 6-10 last season, but were 5-6 in the games Allen was healthy and starting. They won two of their last three, including a 42-17 win over the Dolphins to go into the offseason. And after spending last offseason prepping for the draft http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-eddie-yarbrough-jersey , Allen said he’s leaning on the lessons he learned from veterans such as Alexander and Kyle Williams to get ready for the coming year.“The best advice that I’ve gotten is the best way to get in shape is to not get out of shape, so I can’t let this time get too crazy,” he said. “A lot of rookies may not know what this offseason’s about. But I’ve had Kyle, I’ve had Lorenzo and guys like that to kind of give me a little snapshot of what to expect this time. And I’ve been using their advice.”The Bills may have farther to travel than Allen thinks, but they also have more cap space than most of the league (an estiamted $80 million worth of room), which will allow them to make some significant moves. Deep into his second season in the NFL, Tremaine Edmunds is finding his voice — and his game — for the Buffalo Bills.The usually reserved 2018 first-round pick was praised for making an impassioned team speech before carrying it over to a dominating performance in a 37-20 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Edmunds was all over the field for Buffalo, making a season-high 12 tackles in an eye-opening performance.Call it the next step for one of Buffalo’s key building blocks.“We’re seeing the evolution of his growth,” Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “It’s tremendous for all of us to witness, both on the field and off the field. For him to stand up in front of his peers on Saturday night and to be as transparent as he was ... but also just sharing some of his flaws and some things he wants to improve on. That’s not an easy thing to do Ramon Humber Jersey , to be so real and genuine. ... Hat goes off to him, that’s a leader.”It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the young linebacker. Chosen 16th overall last spring, Edmunds was thrust into a major role as a rookie and endured growing pains as one of the youngest players in the league. He overcame those initial struggles and excelled in the final month of the season, showing the traits that made him a high draft pick.With the Bills coming off a demoralizing 19-16 loss to the Cleveland Browns and struggling against the run, changes were needed. Edmunds took it upon himself to address the entire team on Saturday night, taking charge in an effort to motivate his teammates.“It’s great to see him really start to take ownership of it,” linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. “For him to recognize that this was the moment to speak up just shows the leaps and bounds that he’s made from being a vocal leader standpoint for this team because it means a lot. Because when he speaks, guys kind of sit up a little bit because it means something, it carries some weight.”The Bills also made changes in Edmunds’ role on the field. Edmunds, Alexander and Matt Milano became focal points in a blitz-heavy game plan Womens Dion Dawkins Jersey , forcing frequent stops for losses and incompletions.Edmunds’ impact was instantaneous.After a stop in the backfield by Alexander on the Dolphins’ first play from scrimmage, Edmunds slid to his right and burst through an opening to stuff running back Kalen Ballage for no gain. On the first play of Miami’s next drive, Edmunds’ sudden pressure on center Daniel Kilgore allowed for defensive tackle Ed Oliver to go untouched and sack Ryan Fitzpatrick.Edmunds helped force a key incompletion on third-and-9 late in the first half on an all-out blitz. He and Milano combined for a sack in the third quarter, and Edmunds set up an easy sack for defensive tackle Star Lotulelei on another blitz.“I just want to win and get to the ball. Whatever it is, however it comes I’m going to take full advantage of it,” Edmunds said. “That’s what the game plan was last week, so I just want to take advantage of it. Whatever it is this week, I’m going to take advantage of it as well. My thing is just get to the ball and make a play.”As the Bills (7-3) look to make a playoff push, they’ll continue to lean more on Edmunds and quarterback Josh Allen, their first-round picks from one year ago. It’s a responsibility that Edmunds both cherishes and embraces.And he’s eager for more.“I feel like a lot of my instincts are starting to kick in a whole lot more http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-colton-schmidt-jersey ,” Edmunds said. “But you know, to be honest with you, I still feel like I can improve a whole, whole lot. And that’s the thing that I’m most proud about, that’s what keeps me going because I know right now is just nothing. I’m not even close to how I know I can play. That’s what I’m most excited about.”

Start making your travel arrangements, because the Green Bay Packers’ schedule for the 2019 season is finally official. The NFL announced all 32 teams’ schedules in a press release Wednesday evening. For the upcoming season, the Packers draw the NFC East and AFC West divisions in addition to typical home-and-home games against their NFC North foes.A few notable items stand out about this schedule at first glance. First of all, the Packers as usual get the maximum number of prime time games: five. However, only one game is on Sunday night — a week eight date against the Chiefs. They will have two Thursday games (both in the first month of the season) and two Monday night games as well.In addition, the home/road splits are interesting. The Packers will be at home for five of their first seven games, then close the season after a late bye week with four out of six on the road. That leaves Green Bay with just two home games in December and just three after October 20th.Here’s the full official schedule:2019 Packers ScheduleWeekOpponentVenueDateTime (Central)WeekOpponentVenueDateTime (Central)* Game time subject to change due to NFL’s flexible scheduling policyIn addition, we also have the Packers’ preseason schedule, aside from the exact details on one game, which is still being determined:Preseason Week 1: Packers vs. Houston Texans @ Lambeau Field — Thursday, August 8 J'Mon Moore Color Rush Jersey , 7:00 PMPreseason Week 2: Packers at Baltimore Ravens @ M&T Bank Stadium— Thursday, August 15, 6:30 PMPreseason Week 3: Packers vs. Oakland Raiders (location TBA) — Date TBAPreseason Week 4: Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs @ Lambeau Field — Thursday, August 29, 7:00 PM The regular season has come and gone for the vast majority of NFL teams, and we finally know the order of picks in round one of the 2019 NFL Draft — or at least where the Green Bay Packers’ first selection will be. Green Bay will have the 12th pick in round one as a result of their final record of 6-9-1 on the season.Green Bay’s loss to the Detroit Lions did help their draft position, as did victories by the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons, who won on Sunday to both finish 7-9. That pushes them down below the Packers in the draft order, giving Green Bay the 12th pick after the early games. Wins by the Bengals and Broncos would have helped the Packers even further, but both teams lost to fall to 6-10 on the season, keeping them ahead of Green Bay.The top two draft picks both belong to teams from the NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals get the first selection as the only team to finish 3-13 this season, and they will be followed by the 49ers https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Nick-Perry-Jersey , Jets, and Raiders in that order.Had the Packers lost their last two games of 2018, they might have been in position to find themselves well inside the top ten of the draft, However, the Packers beat the New York Jets in week 16 before losing on Sunday. If they had lost that game and finished 5-10-1 instead, they would be picking 8th overall.Keep in mind that the Packers will have a second pick in the first round, thanks to general manager Brian Gutekunst’s trade with the New Orleans Saints during the 2018 NFL Draft. However, with the Saints making the playoffs and holding the best record in the entire NFL, that pick can end up no higher than 28th. That would be the position of that pick if the Saints lose in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.The first 20 picks will go as follows, pending confirmation of the strength of schedule numbers. Note that pick 19 will go to the loser of Sunday’s Colts-Titans game; if the game ends in a tie, the Colts will go to the playoffs with the Titans earning the 19th pick due to a lower strength of schedule than the Steelers.2019 NFL Draft First Round OrderPickTeamRecordSOSPickTeamRecordSOS
Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans is a matchup that seemed improbable early this season after Houston dropped its first three games and the Colts limped to a 1-5 start.Instead of letting their tough starts lead to disappointing seasons https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Johnny-Unitas-Jersey , these teams — which both finished 4-12 last year — turned things around to lead the AFC South and charge into the postseason.Houston’s rebound began at the expense of the Colts (10-6), and it was thanks in part to a controversial call by Indianapolis coach Frank Reich in overtime. The game was tied 34-34 when, instead of punting on fourth-and-4 from his 43-yard line and likely settling for a tie, Reich called for a short pass from Andrew Luck to Chester Rogers. Luck’s pass fell incomplete, Houston got a 24-yard completion on the next play, and Ka’imi Fairbairn made a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give the Texans (11-5) a 37-34 victory.“We knew that to be able to come out on the winning end of that game was a big thing for us, but that’s a long time ago,” Houston coach Bill O’Brien said. “The teams have evolved over time, so it’s a new ballgame now.”The win was the first of nine straight for Houston. The Texans didn’t lose again until a visit from the Colts on Dec. 9, a 24-21 Indy victory. Houston then won two of its last three games, capped by a 20-3 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday to clinch the division — and become the sixth team since 1980 and first since 1998 to make the playoffs after a 0-3 start.The Colts’ loss to Houston in Week 4 was the second of four straight that dropped them to 1-5. Indianapolis then won its next five and nine of its last 10 to make its first playoff appearance since a 2014 AFC championship game loss at New England. Yes, the “Deflategate” game.The Colts are the third team in NFL history to reach the postseason after losing five of the first six games.These teams have more in common than their difficult starts. They’re both led by a player making a comeback after an injury.Luck returned after missing the 2017 season with a shoulder injury to throw for 4,593 yards and rank second in the NFL with 39 touchdown passes. His best games this season have come against Houston, piling up 863 yards passing with six touchdowns.Trying to slow him down Saturday will be Houston’s comeback star J.J. Watt, who played all 16 games after starting just eight games combined in the previous two years because of back surgeries and a broken leg. Watt led the AFC with 16 sacks, had 25 quarterback hits and 18 tackles for loss and forced a career-high seven fumbles, which tied for most in the NFL.Watt said Luck has been getting rid of the ball quicker this season, which makes his job as a pass rusher much more difficult.“You try and do different things, but at the end of the day Jacoby Brissett Jersey , you try and get there, and if you can get your hands up, you get your hands up,” he said. “You just try and get there. You can’t really let it affect you, and you hope maybe he holds it for an extra second.”HILTON’S INSome of T.Y. Hilton‘s most memorable moments have come against the Texans — especially when he visits Houston.The Colts’ top receiver has caught 41 passes for 933 yards with seven TDs in seven games at NRG Stadium, and in the last two trips to Houston he has 14 receptions for 374 yards and two TDs. So even though he’s been hobbled by a bad ankle, which he initially injured at Houston on Dec. 9, Hilton insists he’ll be fine Sunday.“That’s probably why it’s starting to feel better,” Hilton joked earlier this week when asked about playing in Houston for the second time in a month.DESHAUN’S DEBUTHouston quarterback Deshaun Watson will make his playoff debut in his second year in the NFL. Don’t expect the 12th overall pick in the 2017 draft to be daunted by the challenge after he played plenty of huge games at Clemson, highlighted by leading his team to the national title game twice. The Tigers lost to Alabama when Watson was a sophomore before he helped Clemson beat Alabama 35-31 for the 2016 national championship.“It’s just another opportunity for myself and this whole team to be able to show what we’ve got and put in the work,” Watson said. “I’ve played in a lot of big games before in college and stuff, but you can’t really pit college playoffs with the NFL. This is the hardest business, top-notch. It’s a whole new season, a whole new speed of game. So it’s going to be new for me (and) it’s going to be a lot of fun.”TURNAROUND TIMEIndy didn’t just rebound from a 1-5 start to make the playoffs. It rewrote the book.While the oft-criticized offensive line allowed a league-low 18 sacks after giving up a league-high 56 in 2017, the biggest change came on defense, where the Colts were ranked No. 11. They had the league’s leading tackler, tallied 26 takeaways, allowed only 16.4 points over the final eight games and were one of three teams that didn’t allow a 100-yard rusher all season.The Colts know it will take more of the same to advance.“The last time we did a good job, that was great for us Reggie Wayne Color Rush Jersey , but this is a new challenge this week,” Reich said when asked about defending Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins. “I’m sure they are going to try to get him going.”97<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:2018-19 NBA cheerleadersJoe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports | Joe Camporeale Andrew Luck's injured left leg isn't getting any better.So the Indianapolis Colts are sitting down their biggest star.Luck missed Tuesday's practice in suburban Indianapolis after telling coaches his strained calf felt worse following the first week of training camp. Coach Frank Reich announced Luck would be sidelined at least three more days and would miss next week's preseason opener at Buffalo."I've made progress ever since I started working on this issue, but the progress wasn't enough. It wasn't enough," Luck said. "I feel like something's going to yank, something's going to pull trying to change directions aggressively. That's something you need to do to play football and I'm not there yet."The Colts have been playing it safe with Luck ever since he initially got hurt in the spring.He missed the team's offseason workouts, didn't even throw to teammates on the West Coast leading into camp as he usually does and was limited to individual drills and 7-on-7 work last week.Apparently, it hasn't helped.On Sunday, Luck walked with a slight limp between plays and missed some throws, albeit in breezy conditions. After everybody took Monday off, Luck met with Reich and the team's medical staff and explained he still felt soreness in the leg and pain around his ankle.Reich wasted no time making the call."You probably won't see him the next two days and then we'll have another off day and then we'll go from there," Reich said. "Honestly, if he had come in here 100% healthy, I had already determined he was not going to play in the Buffalo game anyway. That was determined three months ago. I wouldn't play him the last preseason game. So the plan, in a perfect world, would have been to play him a little bit in Game 2 and a little bit in Game 3 but not a whole lot."Now Luck may not take any preseason snaps, and it's unclear what exactly the setback was.Despite being limited at practice last week, Luck stayed on the field, wearing a baseball cap. On Tuesday, he didn't even appear on the field until well after practice ended. Instead https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Rigoberto-Sanchez-Jersey , he worked out somewhere else on the Grand Park Sports Campus.But Luck also wants to be cautious with this injury, given his history.After making 15 starts with a partially torn labrum in his throwing shoulder in 2016 and missing the entire 2017 season following surgery — perhaps because he tried to come back too soon — he doesn't intend to rush the rehab this time."This is something that I vowed to myself after going through 2016, 2017, that I would be, one, honest with myself about how I felt and, two, honest to the people who are involved," Luck said. "I know I did not improve with the last tranche of practices."Jacoby Brissett has been working with the starters in Luck's absence.Brissett was acquired in a trade just before the 2017 season opener, replaced Scott Tolzien late in Week 1 and started the final 15 games as the Colts stumbled to a 4-12 mark. Last year, Brissett threw only four passes in four games, completing two.Reich said he's liked what he's seen so far from the 26-year-old, who could be auditioning for other teams as he heads into the final year of his contract.Luck said he still hopes to start against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 8 — even though he couldn't pin down a target date for his return."Bodies don't care about a date on a calendar or whatever," Luck said. "I'm not looking for average. If I go out here with pain, I'll be average. I will feel like an average quarterback, I'll be an average quarterback. That's not good enough for me, and it's not good enough for this club."
season came to a halt in Dallas on Sunday when they faced off with the Dallas Cowboys and a very similar style of play and strategy. Both teams want to run the ball Duane Brown Color Rush Jersey , control the clock and play solid defense. It was the third time these two teams have met in the past thirteen months, and in watching the game it was readily apparent early on that the Seahawks were using the exact same gameplan they had used in the two prior matchups against the Cowboys. The first of those prior games game came in Week 16 of the 2017 season, after the Seahawks had been dealt losses to both the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Rams in the prior two weeks. The Seahawks played very conservatively in eking out a victory over Dallas that day. Then, in Week 3 of the 2018 season the Hawks notched their first victory of the season by using the same gameplan. Running often and playing the field position game, and with a handful of successful pass plays thrown in, Seattle was able to overcome a Dallas team looking to play the exact same style. In any case, there has been plenty of discussion about the why and how the team lost, but essentially, they used the same gameplan for the third time in a row against the same opponent and this time it simply wan’t quite enough. We can look at run:pass ratio, such as I did here, to understand the similarities in the gameplan. But former Field Gulls contributor Ben Baldwin broke down the difference between Week 3 and the Wild Card game very succinctly. And that’s basically it. Go two of thirteen on third down, and it becomes very hard to win a game against any opponent, much less on the road against a playoff caliber opponent. Keeping in mind that one of those third down conversions was Mike Davis running for a first down during the two minute drill to set up a 58 yard field goal attempt, and the Seahawks went one of twelve on third downs with more than three seconds left in a half. Thinking back to the two victories over the Arizona Cardinals, the Hawks combined to go just four of twenty four on third down in those two games, and we all know how close to losing both of those games the Hawks were. In any case, here’s a rundown of the playcalls for the three matchups on a drive by drive comparison, so feel free to further dissect the gameplan and the outcome.Play by Play overview of drives in last three games against CowboysDrive and PlayWild CardWeek 3Week 16 2017Drive and PlayWild CardWeek 3Week 16 2017It’s been fun kids, and don’t disappear just because it’s the offseason. We’re about to get into some fun stuff as we’ll have time to look at a lot of specific questions without the hassle of having to worry about upcoming games and what not. In any case K.J. Wright Color Rush Jersey , the Seahawks 2018 season is in the books, but don’t wander too far because there is a ton of fun stuff to look at in the coming weeks. Well at least that’s over. The Seattle Seahawks (10-6) finish the 2018 NFL regular season with an ugly 27-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals (3-13). Sebastian Janikowski hit the game-winning field goal as time expired, just as he did in Week 4.Seattle had two punts blocked, including one for a touchdown, while Russell Wilson suffered six sacks and threw an early interception. However, he had a franchise-record 35th TD pass on the season, his 195th of his career (also a franchise-record), and his only two completions to Tyler Lockett proved vital in this game. The defense held firm despite the 24 points you saw, as Josh Rosen was also sacked six times and Arizona did not break 200 yards of offense. Frank Clark and Jacob Martin both recorded strip-sacks, with Seattle recovering them both.1st HalfArizona started on offense and went three-and-out, with Josh Rosen almost throwing an INT on the first play. Russell Wilson did throw an interception on the opening drive, as David Amerson jumped the pick play route intended for David Moore. He returned it deep into Seattle territory, but the Cardinals offense only got one first-down and had to settle for 3 from Zane Gonzalez. 3-0 Cardinals.Seattle went three-and-out, but the Cardinals one-upped (or one-downed?) them with a four-and-out, as Josh Rosen failed to convert a 4th and 1 pass. The Seahawks capitalized on the short field, as Russell Wilson threw his franchise-record 35th TD of the year to a wide open Tyler Lockett on a 29-yard busted coverage catch-and-run. 7-3 Seahawks.Jacob Martin got himself a strip-sack of Josh Rosen, with Frank Clark recovering the fumble. It only took four plays to go 34 yards and get into the end zone again, courtesy of Chris Carson. 14-3 Seahawks.Arizona eventually found themselves in great field position again thanks to a blocked Michael Dickson punt that bounced to about the 28-yard line. Larry Fitzgerald, perhaps playing his final NFL game Bobby Wagner Color Rush Jersey , made a one-handed catch for a touchdown a few plays later. 14-10 Seahawks.Seattle’s pass protection woes and special team woes rolled up into one yet again, as another Wilson sack led to a punt deep in their own territory, and Pharaoh Cooper broke off a big return to put the Cardinals in scoring position again. A Frank Clark sack forced them into a field goal. 14-13 Seahawks.Another three-and-out courtesy of another sack on Wilson gifted Arizona a chance to score and lead before halftime. Josh Rosen got them into field goal range, but he was sacked with no timeouts and the clock ran out on them.2nd HalfOffense was at a premium for much of the 3rd quarter, with punts aplenty and both QBs under duress. Disaster nearly struck for the Seahawks when Wilson was sacked for a 6th time, and his fumble was scooped up and scored by Patrick Peterson. However, a holding penalty extended the drive. Chris Carson then gashed the Cardinals for 61 yards, Nick Vannett got a first-down catch for 10 more, and Mike Davis scored on a 17-yard scamper. 21-13 Seahawks.Seattle’s awful special teams gifted Arizona a touchdown on a blocked punt. The two-point conversion was good. 21-21. Josh Rosen got demolished by his own offensive lineman, who was thrown into him by Frank Clark for yet another strip-sack fumble recovery by the Seahawks. Unfortunately, Wilson would eventually suffer another third-down sack and they were forced to kick a field goal. 24-21 Seahawks with 6:20 in the 4th quarter.Looking to tie or take the lead, Rosen put the Cardinals into field goal range, but Jarran Reed swooped in for another sack of the rookie QB to put them back at the Seahawks 38 at the two-minute warning. The 3rd down deep shot to Trent Sherfield was dropped, which sure bailed out Tre Flowers. Zane Gonzalez was brought on for the tying field goal and made it. 24-24. Mike Davis picked up 9 yards through the air and on the ground in the Seahawks two-minute drill, then converted on 3rd and 1 to their own 37. Russell Wilson threw it deep down the field to a wide open Tyler Lockett to the Arizona 25 on a busted coverage. Chris Carson gained 3 yards to the 22 with under a minute remaining. Another Carson run got them to the 12-yard line with :08. Russell Wilson centered the ball at the 15, giving Seabass the chance to win it from 33 yards out on the final play of regulation... GOOD! 27-24 Seahawks Final.Seahawks injury reportCB Shaquill Griffin tweaked his ankle in the 2nd quarter and was replaced by Akeem King.
