Sunday NFL Games

I'm going to start doing a fantasy football preview every Thursday, but for now, I will do a recap of all of the NFL games.
 (Teams that had a bye is the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks).

          First off, the Buffalo Bills beat the Miami Dolphins 19-14. Miami tried to make a comeback in the 4th quarter, but it was to no avail.

Honoring veterans before game

          This Sunday, the Green Bay Packers played the Detroit Lions. I personally wanted the game to end in a tie, or at least the Lions winning, because i'm a huge Vikings fan. The Packers were able to get a touchdown in the 4th quarter, though, and the Packers won 24-20.

         Next game: Cleveland Browns vs. Dallas Cowboys. At halftime, the score was 13-0, Browns. In the 4th quarter, the Cowboys got 17 points to tie the game at 20. Overtime: Cowboys got the field goal to win the game, 23-20 in OT.

Game Winning Kick

                                       

          The 5-5 Cincinnati Bengals played the 1-9 Kansas City Cheifs, who I consider to be the worst team in the league. The Bengals easily beat them, 28-6.

          The Houston Texans played the Jacksonville Jaguars, in what many thought would be an easy win for the Texans. It turned out to an amazing, close, and high-scoring game. The Texans ended up winning 43-37 to improve to 9-1. Texans QB Matt Schaub tied for 2nd most yards thrown in a game, with 527 passing yards. I have to show you the highlights.

         The 1-loss Atlanta Falcons played the Arizona Cardinals. Surprisingly  the game was really close but the Falcons ended up winning, 23-19. Matt Ryan threw 5 interceptions this game (almost made me lose my fantasy football match-up) but with good defense and a few field goals, they were able to win.

          As you can see, their have been many close games this week, and the Carolina Panthers vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was just the same. The game went into overtime, and the Buccaneers won it with a Dallas Clark TD, 27-21. Doug Martin is continuing to impress with +100 yards again.

Winning TD

       The Philadelphia Eagles played the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Before the game, they had the same record, 3-6. The Redskins got the blowout, though, 31-6. Robert Griffin III threw 4 touchdowns, Lesean McCoy got a concussion, and the Eagles got their sixth straight loss.

          New York Jets played the St. Louis Rams. The Jets overcame a 3-game skid, and ended up winning, 27-13. 

        The New Orleans Saints, trying to be in the race for the playoffs, played the Oakland Raiders. The Saints ended up winning 38-17. This was the 3rd straight loss for the Raiders.

        The San Diego Chargers played the Denver Broncos in a very close and exciting game. The Broncos won by a TD, 30-23. Peyton Manning won his 148th regular season game, tying John Elway for 2nd behind Brett Favre (who has won 186).

                                          

          The New England Patriots played the Indianapolis Colts in what turned out to be a very high-scoring game. The Patriots ended up winning 59-24. Surprisingly  the Patriots defense and special teams did well, returning a punt and an interception for touchdowns.

                                          

         Sunday night, the Baltimore Ravens played the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens won 13-10, in a game that definitely wasn't showcasing quarterbacks.

I actually kind of like the Steelers new jerseys.

          Monday night football, Chicago Bears against the San Francisco 49'ers. I personally thought the Bears would win, but without starting QB Jay Cutler, the team looked helpless in a 32-7 loss. Eyes are turning to Aldon Smith who ended the game with 5.5 sacks.

Another sack for Aldon Smith, on bottom.
