Lamar Jackson was ready for Ravens training camp when he came down with COVID for the second time in eight months.Jackson originally landed on the COVID list in November ahead of Baltimore's Week 12 lo s to Pittsburgh. And when he found out he had come down with the Adalberto Mondesi Jersey virus again just ahead of training camp, the Ravens quarterback was "heartbroken.""It was crazy. I was heartbroken. I wasn't looking forward to that at all. Right before George Brett Jersey camp," Jackson said, . "Not again, not right now."IYER: Jackson was "hit pretty hard with the symptoms" according to Ravens coach John Harbaugh. And Jackson admitted he was "fatigued" and "sleeping a lot." Still, he was noncommittal about getting vaccinated against the illne s."I feel it's a personal decision," Jackson said of getting vaccinated. "I'm just going to keep my feelings to my family and myself. I'm focused on getting better right now. I can't Chris Owings Jersey dwell on that right now ... how everybody else feels. Just trying to get back to the right routine Billy Hamilton Jersey ."However, Jackson did acknowledge that he was "talking to the doctors" about his decision."We'll see," Jackson said. "Talking to the doctors. We'll see."But for now, Jackson is just learning more about the vaccine while he looks to work back into game shape after his second bout with COVID."I'm taking it day by day right now," he said.

It's super, it's wild, it's super wild card weekend.The NFL's first Week 18 foray turned out to be a pretty eventful one: The Jaguars beat the Colts, eliminating Indy from the dance, while the Raiders-Chargers "Sunday Night Football" matchup cameoh so closeto a tie.With the playoff picturenow set, the second year of a 14-team tournamentis underway, and presumably here to Ted Williams Jersey stay. There are a number of intriguing matchups to kick off the weekend, which is now spread over three days.The NFL playoffs are here. Here's what you need to know heading into this weekend:MORE: NFL playoff bracket 2022 As with 2021, there's a 14-team playoff field this year. Here's how they're seeded and their opening weekend matchup:AFC1. Tenne see Titans(BYE)2. Kansas City Chiefsvs. 7. Pittsburgh Steelers3. Buffalo Billsvs. 6. New England Patriots4. Cincinnati Bengalsvs. 5.Las Vegas Raiders1. Tenne see Titans vs. 4. Cincinnati Bengals2. Kansas City Chiefs vs. 3. Buffalo BillsNFC1. Green Bay Packers (BYE)2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. 7. Philadelphia Eagles3. Dallas Cowboys vs. 6. San Francisco 49ers4. Los Angeles Rams vs. 5. Arizona Cardinals1. Green Bay Packers vs. 6. San Francisco 49ers2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. 4. Los Angeles RamsPOWER RANKINGS: NFL wild-card matchups AFCKansas City Chiefs (No. 2 seed, 12-5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 7 seed, 9-7-1)The Steelers needed the help of the Jaguars (what an NFL world Hanley Ramirez Jersey we live in) to have a shot to make it to the playoffs, and goodne s gracious, the Jags did it. Now,Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have an opportunity to send Ben Roethlisberger out into the sunset. It won't be an easy task, as they face the Chiefs, who were9-1 in their last eight regular season games.Buffalo Bills (No. 3 seed, 11-6) vs. New England Patriots (No. 6 seed, 11-6)Welcome to the dance, Mac Jones. The Patriots and the Bills went down to the wire for the AFC East, and after a sloppy, gro s game vs. the Jets, the Bills ultimatley emerged with the division. Now, in an AFC East rubber match, the Patriots get an opportunity to get even with the Bills and render their division victory null.Cincinnati Bengals (No. 4 seed, 10-7) vs. Las Vegas Raiders (No. 5 seed, 10-7)The job that Raiders Kevin Plawecki Jersey interim head coach Rich Bisaccia has done is admirable.Coming down to overtime in Week 18 vs. the division-rival Chargers, the Raiders took home the win and punched their ticket to the playoffs in spite of a tremendously trying season, for various reasons. They face no slouch with the Bengals and their high-powered offense, anchored by Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase.MORE: NFC Tampa Bay Buccaneeers (No. 2 seed, 13-4) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (No. 7 seed, 9-8)Expect the expected and the unexpected. Everyone thought the Buccaneers, running it back after their Super Bowl 55 win, would make the playoffs. Not many expected that Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni and the Eagles would make the playoffs. But that's what happened, and now Hurts has an opportunity to continue to prove to Philly bra s that he can be the pa ser of the future.Dallas Cowboys (No. 3 seed, 12-5) vs. San Francisco 49ers (No. 6 seed, Jim Rice Jersey 10-7)Time to jump in the way-back machine: The Cowboys and the 49ers meeting in the playoffs is something ripped straight from the '80s and '90sbut with a modern twist. Reports of Kyle Shanahan's demise have been greatly exaggerated: The 49ers did what they had to do and held off the Rams in the final game of their season, finishing 7-3 over their last 10 in total.Los Angeles Rams (No. 4 seed, 12-5) vs. Arizona Cardinals (No. 5 seed, 11-6)The Cardinals stumbled into the playoffs, going 2-4 since their Bye Week to finish the season, ultimately handing the NFC West to the Rams. Now, the two teams meet in a rubber match for their 2021 series, but this time, the stakes are much, much higher.NFL wild-card TV scheduleUnlike 2021, this year's super wild-card weekend isn't split into two days of triple-headers: Rather, the NFL has a Monday night playoff matchup, with the Cardinals and Rams capping the opening weekend of the 2021 playoffs.Here are the complete resuts for theweekend's games:Saturday, Jimmie Foxx Jersey Jan. 15MatchupBengals 26, Raiders 19Bills 47, Patriots 17Sunday, Jan. 16MatchupBuccaneers 31, Eagles 1549ers 23, Cowboys 17Chiefs 42, Steelers 21Monday, Jan. 17MatchupRams 34, Cardinals 11NFL playoff bracket, seeds 2022AFCSeedTeamRecordClinched1.Tenne see Titans12-5AFC South champion2.Kansas City Chiefs12-5AFC West champion3.Buffalo Bills11-6AFC East champion4.Cincinnati Bengals10-7AFC North champion5.Las Vegas Raiders10-7Wild card6.New England Patriots10-7Wild card7.Pittsburgh Steelers9-7-1Wild cardNFCSeedTeamRecordClinched1.Green Bay Packers13-4NFC North champion2.Tampa Bay Buccaneers13-4NFC South champion3.Dallas Cowboys12-5NFC East champion4.Los Angeles Rams12-5NFC West champion5.Arizona Cardinals11-6Wild card6.San Francisco 49ers10-7Wild card7.Philadelphia Eagles9-8Wild card

Not so elementary, my dear Watson.The yearslong ody sey for the Texans to find a true franchise pa ser culminated in Houston selecting the Deshaun Watson out of Clemson in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, but it looks like the pairing will soon come to an end, with tumult surrounding the quarterback and the franchise leading to lots of smoke and trade rumors.With organizational chaos dooming the Texans the past two seasons, and ownership reportedly over-relying on the voice and opinions of Jack Easterby and reportedly completely ignoring the voice of Watson, it's hard to fault Watson for wanting out. He's a top-five quarterback coming Raisel Iglesias Jersey off his best season, still young and with a contract that will prove to be a bargain in a few years.Total organizational instability from the top down has led Watson to, reportedly, being incredibly pi sed off and ready to move on from the team that drafted him in 2017.

Football is finally back, with the Hall of Fame Game between the Raiders and Jaguars kicking the 2022 NFL preseason off.However, fans won't see many of either team's high profile players.Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne, Jacksonville's two first round selections from the 2021 NFL Draft, will not be participating in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, per coach Doug Pederson.NFL Network's Ian Rapoport expects a similar move from the Raiders' bra s, with starters Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Maxx Crosby among those that might see little, if any, action on Thursday. coach Doug Pederson announced that QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Travis Etienne won't play in the Hall of Fame game on Thursday. Expect the to be on the same page with several Ryan Rua Jersey starters watching from the sidelines. Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) What's keeping some of the Jaguars and Raiders' best players out of the Hall of Fame Game? The Sporting News has all the answers.Why is Trevor Lawrence sitting out of the Hall of Fame Game?Pederson didn't offer any specific reasons for why Lawrence was being held out of the Jags' first preseason game. In fact, according to Pederson, Lawrence has impre sed in training camp so far."Trevor's Drew Smyly Jersey been getting a lot of great looks here in practice," Pederson said. " We feel he's in a good spot."Nonethele s, given the history of injuries in preseason Etienne and Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins suffered season-endings injury last preseason it seems Pederson and his coaching staff don't want to risk Lawrence too early, especially a game that means very little in terms of his development.Jaguars QB depth chartThe Jags are all in on former No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence at the moment. However, with Lawrence not playing Thursday, expect to see a heavy diet of backups C.J. Beathard, Jake Luton and Kyle Sloter during the Hall of Fame Game.Beathard is the No. 2 behind Lawrence. He threw two pa ses in 2021, but did throw for six touchdowns (compared to 0 interceptions) in six games with the Niners back in 2020.Why is Travis Ronald Guzman Jersey Etienne sitting out of the Hall of Fame Game?Etienne is in a slightly different situation to his longtime teammate. The pa s-catching tailback suffered a Lisfranc injury in his left foot last preseason, ending his rookie season before it even started.Etienne has been a full participant in training camp, according to Pederson. Etienne did mi s Tuesday's training se sion while dealing with a bout of illne s. But Pederson specify what was keeping his young runner out Thursday's game.It seems Pederson and the Jags' staff are being cautious with their two young guns. Although the likelihood of injury isn't much different to what it is during the regular season, it Joey Gallo Jersey seems Pederson and company are staying extra caution with Etienne in the hopes he doesn't pick up another long term ailment that will force him to mi s some gamete.Jaguars RB depth chartThe Jags are expected to roll with some form of a combination between Etienne and James Robinson. Etienne brings the fine se while Robinson brings the power.MORE:Beyond Jacksonville's fire-and-ice pairing, the rest of Jacksonville's running back depth chart is shrouded in relative mystery. The organization listed rookie Snoop Conner as the team's third tailback, followed by the relatively unheralded triumvirate of Mekhi Sargent, Ryquell Armstead and Nathan Cottrell.Who else is sitting out of the Hall of Fame Game?Pederson didn't drop anymore hints regarding who he plans to put on the field Thursday, nor did Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels. But with an extra game in Week 18 and plenty of time to Nolan Ryan Jersey see the promise these playmakers have, it seems very likely that we'll see a hole heap of absences from both the Jags and Raiders' teams. QB Derek Carr and WR Davante Adams are among the Raiders who may not play on Thursday, while it wouldn't be a shock to see the likes of Robinson or WR Christian Kirk protected for the Jags.

Le'Veon Bell has played in the NFL in eight of the last nine

vallieklein — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 02:44:28 +0000

Le'Veon Bell has played in the NFL in eight of the last nine seasons, but it doesn't look like he is going to do so in 2022.Bell announced Tuesday in a news conference ahead of his on July 30 that he will focus on advancing his boxing career instead of returning to the gridiron. Wei-Yin Chen Jersey He also admitted that he considered sitting out the 2021 NFL season to pursue a full-time boxing career."Boxing is something that, you know, they always say it's something you can't play boxing. Last year, I almost sat out the whole year to try to focus on boxing because I kind of knew that was what I wanted to transition to. This year, I know I'm not going to be playing this year Sergio Romo Jersey because I want to focus on boxing," Bell said, per .MORE: That Bell is putting his NFL career on pause is no surprise. He previously spoke about how, after his release from the Ravens, he considered . However, the Buccaneers came calling and he elected to join them instead.All told, Bell dre sed for just eight combined games with the Ravens and Buccaneers in 2021 and racked up 131 scrimmage yards on 44 touches. Both totals marked career lows for the veteran running back and few teams if any have shown interest in the 30-year-old during the 2022 NFL offseason.That's part of why Bell is diving headlong into boxing and isn't treating his exhibition against Peterson as a "one-off.""This is, I gue s like my introduction to kind of show what I'll be doing and how I'll be going about myself. Just an intro," he said.MORE: Bell believes that his athletic skill set will translate well to boxing; he described himself as " Brad Ziegler Jersey quicker than 99 percent of the people" he will face in the ring."My speed, my quickne s, my timing, it's really going to be unmatched,"Bell said, per .Why Sandy Alcantara Jersey does Bell believe that? It all has to do with his unique playing style that was predicated more on patience, vision and timing than explosive playmaking speed."People say I'm patient. I pick my holes this, that and the other it's just really all timing," Bell said. "That's all it really was. It kind of came easy to me, was timing. Boxing kind of like is all timing, and I think that's what makes me quick, that's kind of like what separates me as an athlete than most guys in the NFL or the NBA or many other guys that have tried to translate to this sport."MORE: In theory, Bell's a se sment makes sense. Soon enough, NFL and boxing fans will get to see if everything works in practice as he gets set to square off against Peterson on July 30.Either way, Bell is excited to show people what he is capable of doing during that fight."I've been wanting Brian Anderson Jersey to showcase so much on the Internet," Bell explained. "I've just been holding off because I've been wanting everyone to kind of wait for the build-up on the 30th to see exactly what I'm going to bring in this ring."

San Francisco finds itself in a strange situation heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. Despite not having a ton of roster holes, the 49ers don't have a pick until No. 61 overall, and the looming Jimmy Garoppolo situation has the team's quarterback prospects for next year looking uncertain, whether it turns to Trey Lance or not.Kyle Shanahan is in far from the worst situation at the helm, but the Niners also have other situations to addre s. Pending contract extensions for Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa have held up Melky Cabrera Jersey the team's offseason plans, and their need for depth at pa s rusher has become more Dario Agrazal Jersey and more apparent as time has gone on.While it's mostly spot-filling, the 49ers don't have a lot of avenues to do so in this draft. That can make life more difficult than it has to be for GM John Lynch, barring some ambitious trades in a 2022 NFL Draft that is sure to be busy with a flurry of trade movement.Here's a look at the 49ers' picks in the 2022 NFL Draft:TSN's NFL DRAFT HQ || 49ers draft picks 2022: Who did San Francisco take?Round 2, Pick No. 61:Drake Jackson, LB, USCRound 3, Pick No. 93:Tyrion Davis-Price, RB, LSURound 3, Pick No. 105:Danny Gray, WR, SMURound 4, Pick No. 134:Spencer Buford, G, Texas-San AntonioRound 5, Pick No. 172:Samuel Womack, CB, Blank Jersey ToledoRound 6, Pick No. 187:Nick Zakelj, OT, FordhamRound 6, Pick No. 220: Kalia Davis, DT, UCFRound 6, Pick No. 221:Tariq Castro-Fields, CB, Penn StateRound 7, Pick No. 262: Brock Purdy, QB, Iowa State.49ers 2022 NFL Draft orderRoundPick (Overall)2613933^105 (2020 Resolution JC-2A)413451726187 (from Denver)6*220 ( Starling Marte Jersey Compensatory pick)6*221 (Compensatory pick)7*262 (Compensatory pick)49ers NFL draft needsDefensive End:Even with Nick Bosa, the 49ers need depth in their pa s rushing rotation. They've proven competent at drafting pa s rushers in the past, and with Arden Key signing with Jacksonville in the offseason, the 49ers don't have the options they prefer to have.

Trent Brown had played just seven snaps for Tim Beckham Jersey the Patriots in 2021 before he returned to the field in their ma sive45-7 win over the Browns in Week 10. And the moment was a reminder of just how far Brown has come since the last time he faced Cleveland.Brown was on the Raiders during the 2020 NFL season and was preparing to come off the COVID-19 list against Cleveland in Week 8. He had mi sed the Raiders' previous game with the illne s. However, he dealt with an i sue while getting a pre-game IV. Air was introduced to his bloodstream and he nearly died as a result of the Chris Tillman Jersey mishap.RIVERA: So, returning to play against Cleveland after that near-death experience, which made Brown contemplate retirement, carried extra meaning."To kind of come back and play against the Browns, I thought was pretty cool, because I almost died before we played them last year," Brown said, . "When I was laid out on the floor, I definitely thought about my kids. I even thought about retiring, honestly. It was that scary. I was about to be done with it. Then after it kind of settled down a bit, I was fine."SUPER BOWL 51: As Brown explained, the air in his bloodstream nearly caused him to go into cardiac arrest. He had to Heston Kjerstad Jersey be hospitalized for a few days while dealing with that condition."That was different. Coming off of COVID and then just expecting to play a game, and then make it all the way to the city, to the game, to the locker room," Brown said. "And I'm going through my normal routine, getting an IV, and to just pa s out and almost going into cardiac arrest was crazy."MORE: Brown stayed out of action another six games for the Raiders. He ended up playing just five games for them because of a Dan Straily Jersey couple of injuries, the COVID-19 diagnosis and the IV mishap. He was only out of action for about a month and a half, but it took much longer for him "to feel normal again.""To actually fully recover, it probably took about eight months to feel normal again," Brown said. "And to actually start making steps, as far as improvement, to feel like myself again on the field after eight months."Brown has played in just two games and 53 snaps for the Patriots since rejoining the team during the 2021 NFL offseason. He has dealt with a calf injury and Craig Gentry Jersey hadanother stint on the COVID-19 list. He'll suit up for his second consecutive game on Thursday against the Falcons, and the 2019 Pro Bowler will hope to regain his dominant form from and stay on the field.

With more teams and players at fantasy football owners' disp

vallieklein — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 02:42:41 +0000

With more teams and players at fantasy football owners' disposal this week, you can make an argument that start 'em, sit 'em decisions will actually be more difficult than they were during the six-team bye last week. When you add in injuries and unsettled RB/WR situations, there are definitely question marks all over the place. Fortunately, Vinnie Iyer is here with Week 8 fantasy lineup advice so you have a better idea of who to start and who to avoid in both season-long leagues and DFS contests.Just two teams (Raiders, Ravens) are on bye this week, and they feature only a handful of "must-starts" between them. Still, with the Pat Valaika Jersey likes of Marquise Brown, Lamar Jackson, Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, and Josh Jacobs unavailable -- plus of host of injured players -- plenty of fantasy owners will have to dig deep for waiver wire streamers and reserve sleepers. Below, we'll discu s those players and all the borderline fantasy plays who give you headaches every week.WEEK 8 FANTASY: |Fantasy Football Week 8 Start 'Em: QuarterbacksQB must-startsJosh Allen, Bills (vs. MIA)Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (vs. NYG)Kyler Murray, Cardinals (vs. GB)Matthew Stafford, Rams (at HOU)Tom Brady, Buccaneers (at NO)Dak Prescott, Cowboys (at MIN)Jalen Hurts, Eagles (at DET)Aaron Rodgers, Packers (at ARI)Joe Burrow, Bengals (at NYJ)Stronger startsKirk Cousins, Vikings (vs. DAL). Cousins is at home and should have high volume in what can be a very fantasy-friendly prime-time shootout with Dak Prescott.Ryan Tannehill, Titans (at IND). Tannehill is back to doing his 2020 things with the offense back on track and a solid ahead.Matt Trevor Story Jersey Ryan, Falcons (vs. CAR). He's feeling it in Arthur Smith's offense with all of his weapons, and the Panthers' D won't slow him down much.Carson Wentz, Colts (vs. TEN). Wentz is loving being back with Frank Reich, and the Titans' defense will come back to earth on the road.Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (at SEA). Lawrence will come out of a bye in a comfortable spot playing off the run against the lowly Seahawks defense.Jameis Winston, Saints (vs. TB). Winston's "revenge game" will be modest in 250-yard and two-TD range, but he can have a good garbage day at home opposite Tom Brady.DFS bargain/streamer specialTeddy Bridgewater, Broncos ($5,400 on DraftKings, $7,000 on FanDuel). Bridgewater should be healthier to exploit a bad Washington pa s defense at home given he has the wide receivers and tight ends needed to get the job done.WEEK 8 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Fantasy Football Week 8Sit 'Em: QuarterbacksWeaker startsJustin Herbert, Chargers (vs. NE). Herbert will see his big-play pa sing contained by Bill Belichick's defense as this become more of a grinding effort.Daniel Jones, Giants (at KC). The matchup screams "yes," but the Chiefs will overachieve defensively in desperation at home in prime time against an injury-plagued Giants offense.Sam Darnold, Panthers (at ATL).This is another matchup that says "yes," but Darnold has been awful of late against anyone. There's also no guarantee he lasts the whole game.Taylor Heinicke, Washington (at DEN). He can have a Case Keenum-like game against the Broncos, but that's not good enough to deploy.Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins Adam Ottavino Jersey (at BUF). He gets cooled off after two hot games against much worse pa s defenses.Mac Jones, Patriots (at LAC). The Patriots should want to run, run and run some more in Los Angeles.Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (at CLE). He will be better after the bye, but this will be more a defensive-minded battle of attrition.WEEK 8 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Fantasy Football Week 8Start 'Em: Running backsRB must-startsDerrick Henry, Titans (at IND)Dalvin Cook, Vikings (vs. DAL)Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys (at MIN)Jonathan Taylor, Colts (vs. TEN)Aaron Jones, Packers (at ARI)James Robinson, Jaguars (at SEA)Najee Harris, Steelers (at CLE)Joe Mixon, Bengals (at NYJ)Alvin Kamara, Saints (vs. TB)D'Andre Swift, Lions (vs. PHI)Damien Harris, Patriots (at LAC)Darrell Henderson, Rams (at HOU)Nick Chubb, Browns (vs. PIT)Austin Ekeler, Chargers (vs. NE)Leonard Fournette, Buccaneers (at NO)Darrel Williams Ryan McMahon Jersey , Chiefs (vs. NYG)Chuba Hubbard, Panthers (at ATL)Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons (vs. CAR)Antonio Gibson, Washington (at DEN)Elijah Mitchell, 49ers (at CHI)Stronger startsDevontae Booker, Giants (at KC). He's a volume-based play if Saquon Barkley (ankle) is out, and Booker can do enough damage against a weak run defense.Chase Edmonds and James Conner, Cardinals (vs. GB). They both came through last week and should be involved in key spots in what should be high-scoring TNF.Devin Singletary and Zack Mo s, Bills (vs. MIA). They both smashed in the first meeting and should be busy in the second half for the rematch.Khalil Herbert, Bears (vs. SF). They seem intent getting him the ball to run often regardle s of score, and the rookie will be solid with volume again.Michael Carter, Jets (vs. CIN). He's getting the bulk of the work everywhere now, and Mike White's presence probably won't affect that.Alex Collins, Seahawks (vs. JAX). He's the best of what they have, sadly, and can be trusted in a cake matchup.Samaje Perine, Bengals (at NYJ). If desperate, you could hope for another blowout scenario where he matches Joe Mixon in work.DFS bargainsKenneth Gainwell, Eagles (at DET, $5,000 on DraftKings, $5,900 on FanDuel). Gainwell should see a lot more critical work with Miles Sanders (ankle) ailing, and the game script might actually allow Philadelphia to run more to support Jalen Hurts and close out the Wade Davis Jersey Lions.Javonte Williams, Broncos (vs.WAS, $5,300 on DraftKings, $5,900 on FanDuel). This other top rookie should get more attention after scoring his first TD last week, and he should slowly earn more vital touches over Melvin Gordon III.WEEK 8 DFS LINEUPS: | | Fantasy Football Week 8 Sit 'Em: Running backsWeaker startsMelvin Gordon III, Broncos (vs. WAS). Here's thinking the Williams takeover starts to happen. Also, Washington contained the Packers' running game last week.Myles Gaskin, Dolphins (at BUF). He will get more touches with no Malcolm Brown (quad),but the matchup is brutal.A.J. Dillon, Packers (at ARI). The game will be more of a shootout with no guarantee for positive game script.Tony Pollard, Cowboys (at MIN). He should get only limited work behind Zeke after the bye.Mike Davis, Falcons (vs. CAR). You can't go there in this committee.Jamaal Williams, Lions (vs. PHI). You can't go there in this committee.Mark Ingram, Texans (vs. LAR). You can't go anywhere in this committee.

As every NFL announcer ever will remind you, the players on the field aren't tanking. But sometimes, a team's combination of players is bad enough that the tanking happens of its own accord.That was the case Monday night, when the Jets stopped the Patriots on third down with a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. New England sent out the field-goal team, and New York sent out its blocking unit. The only problem? This particular Jets group was made up of 12 players, not the maximum 11. A penalty flag flew, and the Pats were granted a first down.In this sequence, it ended up not Gary Carter Jersey mattering, because New England settled for a field goal to end that drive, anyway. But it summed up a night when the Jets couldn't beat the worst iteration of the Patriots in two-plus decades, as New England won on a walk-off field goal30-27. The lo s moved the Jets to 0-9, maintaining the top spot in the Keon Broxton Jersey race for the No. 1 draft pick and the right to select Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, while New England moved to 3-5.MORE: Referees administer a 12-men-on-the-field penalty against the defense when 12 players are lined up in a defensive formation without any attempting to get off the field. That was the case Monday night with the Jets leading 27-17 halfway through the fourth quarter.New England eventually ended that drive with a Nick Folk field goal that began a game-ending streak of 13 unanswered points by the Patriots. Cam Newton's 1-yard touchdown run tied the game at 27 with le s than two minutes to play, and Folk won it at the buzzer with a 51-yard make against his old team.The Twitter conversation throughout Monday's game was about which team was tanking harder. At one point, the Jets punted on fourth-and-3 from New England's 41-yard line in the fourth quarter.NYJ decided to punt to NE from the NE 41 on 4th & 3 with 0:31 remaining in the 1st while losing Devin Mesoraco Jersey 3 to 7.With a Surrender Index of 42.83, this punt ranks at the 99.9th percentile of cowardly punts of the 2020 season, and the 99.2nd percentile of all punts since 2009. Surrender Index 90 (@surrender_idx90) As New England hesitated to push the ball down the field and continued to hand it off to Rex Burkhead while trailing, Twitter also suggested Belichick was showing off his genius in a different way.Is Belichick tanking for Lawrence? His genius knows no bounds! Phil Hughes (@PJHughes45) Belichick isnt even trying to hide the fact hes tanking for Zach Wilson. Scott (@sfbod) But it was the 12-men-on-the-field penalty, which followed Jacob DeGrom Jersey Newton tripping on air while he scrambled, that really sent Twitter into a frenzy.Belichick told Cam to flop so Gase sent out 12 men on the FG.This is a must-watch tanking che s match right now. The Jet Pre s Adrian Gonzalez Jersey (@TheJetPre s) If the Jets keep sending 12 guys onto the field, Trevor Lawrence is just gonna stay in school. Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) The Jets had 12 players on the field during a FG attempt and now the Patriots have another chance at a touchdown. FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) You maybe see 12 men on the field on a field goal attempt once in an entire season...sometimes never.There it is...courtesy of the Jets. Jake Brown (@JakeBrownRadio) Jets saw Trevor Lawrence slipping out of their grasp there and fixed it with a 12 men penalty. Craig Stout (@barleyhop)

Oct. 21 will usher inthe 25thsports equinox in history.With the NBA season starting this week, the NHL season starting last week, the NFLin mid-season andMLB nearing the end of the postseason, today brings a Mitch Haniger Jersey full slate of sporting events happening all Thursday night. Out of these four sports, 15 games will be played. Additionally, one women's soccer match will be played and four college football games.The sports equinox is not too common, although we have seen at least one every year since 2015.Here's why Thursday is considered a sports equinox, including a brief history of sport equinoxes and what sports are on tonight.MORE: What is a sports equinox?A sports equinox is when all four major sports leagues NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA compete on Seattle Mariners Jersey the same day. Typically these occur in the fall, either late October or early November due to the MLB season coming to a close while NBA and NHL start up.It all depends on the MLB postseason schedule for that year if a sports equinox takes place. For instance, if the Atlanta Braves would've swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS this week, a sports equinox wouldn't be happening.History of the sports equinoxThere have been 24sports equinoxes since 1971, when the first sports equinox was recorded. Six more happened in the 1970s, and three occurred in the 1980s, but then there was a 26 year gap between 1985 and 2001.Arizona had teams play in all four of the major sports during the 2001 sports equinox, which is the Carlos Ruiz Jersey only time one state had teams play in all four sports. Los Angeles is the only city to host the four sports in the same day back in 2018.The most games played on a sports equinox was 27 back on Oct. 30, 2016. There was one MLB game, 11 NFL, seven NBA and eight NHL games.The "Super Sports Equinox"occurred on Sept. 10, 2020, when theNFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, MLS, Tennisand NHL all played on the same day for the first time in history. This many sports were playedmainly came about because of the changed sports schedules after many sports seasons were canceled in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NBA and NHL, for example, normally wouldn't begin until mid-October. But, they were finishing up the previous season in September 2020.Two more sports equinoxes occurred in Sept. 2020, and these three happen to be the only ones to take place outside of October and November. Also, three sports equinoxes in one year is the most in history.Sports on TV todayNFLGameTime (ET)TV ChannelDenver Broncos @ Cleveland Browns8:20 p.m.Fox, NFL Network, MLBGameTime (ET)TV ChannelAtlanta Braves @ Los Angeles Dodgers8:08 p.m.TBSNBAGameTime (ET)TV ChannelDallas Mavericks @ Atlanta Hawks7:30 p.m.TNTMilwaukee Bucks @ Miami Heat8:00 p.m.NBA League Pa sLos Angeles Braden Bishop Jersey Clippers @ Golden State Warriors10:00 p.m.TNTNHLGameTime (ET)TV ChannelCarolina Hurricanes @ Montreal Canadiens7:00 p.m.ESPN+San Jose Sharks @ Ottawa Senators7:00 p.m.ESPN+Colorado Avalanche @ Florida Panthers7:00 p.m.ESPN+Washington Capitals @ New Jersey Devils7:00 p.m.ESPN+New York Islanders @ Columbus Blue Jackets7:00 p.m.ESPN+Calgary Flames @ Detroit Red Wings7:30 p.m.ESPN+New York Rangers @ Nashville Predators8:00 p.m.ESPN+Anaheim Ducks @ Winnipeg Jets8:00 p.m.ESPN+Vancouver Canucks @ Chicago Blackhawks8:30 p.m.ESPN+ Shed Long Jersey Edmonton Oilers @ Arizona Coyotes10:00 p.m.ESPN+Women's SoccerGameTime (ET)TV ChannelUnited States vs. South Korea8:00 p.m.ESPN2, College FootballGameTime (ET)TV ChannelTulane @ SMU7:30 p.m.ESPN, Florida Atlantic @ Charlotte7:30 p.m.CBSSN, Louisiana @ Arkansas State7:30 p.m.ESPNU, San Jose State @ UNLV11:00 p.m.CBSSN,

Reading the room is an acquired skill.The Buccaneers trounced the Panthers on Sunday, downing Carolina by a tune to 32-6, sending Carolina ( Harold Baines Jersey 5-10) to its 10th lo s in 12 games.Tampa Bay blasting its division rival isn't a surprise, and neither is one moment late in the game: With under two minutes to play, wideout Robby Anderson decided to celebrate a first down on the Buccaneers sideline.While there's nothing inherently wrong with celebrating a good play even during a blowout lo s the whole "time and place" argument was made for Anderson in the moment, with fans and analysts alike ripping him for the gesture.Robby Anderson spun the ball in front of the bench and pointed up to celebrate a meaningle s catch on 1st down, while being down 32-6 with no time left in the game. He also celebrated a short catch the Miguel Gonzalez Jersey play earlier, and yes, the score was still 32-6 Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) MORE: Anderson took to Twitter to defend himself on Sunday:Dats ppl like you problem always tryna find negative in situations. Ima count my ble sings and live my dream and enjoy it to the fullest the best I know this dream dont last forever Robby Anderson (@chosen1ra) Dats a good a s route and catch Robby Anderson (@chosen1ra) "Dats ppl like you problem always tryna find negative in situations," Anderson tweeted. "Ima count my ble sings and live my dream Ron Santo Jersey and enjoy it to the fullest the best I know this dream don't last forever."In another explanatory tweet, Robby added: "Dats a good a s route and catch."He's not wrong (though a hyphenation on "good a s" would have helped): It was a good route and a good catch along the sideline. The celebration in the middle of the Bucs' sideline, though, was kind of weird, given the score and situation.It's not the first time that Anderson has caught the ire of fans and analysts for a mis-timed me sage. While with the Jets in Jim Abbott Jersey 2017, Anderson found the cameras along the sideline(coincidentally during a Jets-Panthers matchup) and lobbied for fans to vote for him for the Pro Bowl.This announcer was not happy with Robby Anderson campaigning for Pro Bowl votes after his big day High & Outside Sports (@HighandOutside_) After a stellar 2020 season, Anderson has come back to Kelvin Herrera Jersey earth in 2021, with just 459 receiving yards over 15games this season.To be fair, if youSam Darnold and Cam Newton throwing you the ball, you would celebrate every catch, too.

Washington fell behind 24-0 to the Cowboys in their Week 14

vallieklein — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 02:39:43 +0000

Washington fell behind 24-0 to the Cowboys in their Week 14 matchup but had a chance to DJ LeMahieu Jersey tie the game late. It forced a Dallas punt in the fourth quarter while trailing 27-20.It got the ball back with 3:04 and twotimeouts remaining.Washington was only able to keep the ball for two plays before giving it back to Dallas.MORE: Kyle Allen, who was at quarterback in place of an injured Taylor Heinicke, dropped back to pa s on second down. He found himself under pre sure and tried to get rid of the ball while falling to the ground. Defensive end Randy Gregory was able to jar the ball out of Allen's hand and the Cowboys recovered the fumble.Kyle Allen gets strip sacked, Dallas recovers Main Team (@MainTeamSports2) But was it a fumble? It was a very close call. Allen's hand appeared to be moving forward when the Clint Frazier Jersey ball came loose. The question became whether Allen had control of the ball with his hand moving forward, which would make the play an incomplete pa s, or if Allen was down by contact.MORE: The play was automatically reviewed, as are all turnovers in the NFL. In the end, the ruling on Wade Boggs Jersey the field stood.Walt Anderson, the NFL's senior vice presidentof officiating, why the call stood.There were two aspects that we looked at. The first was we were looking to see if the quarterback had control of the ball with his hand coming forward. We could confirm that he lost control of the ball before the hand came forward. And then the second aspect is we wanted to make sure that his knees were not down before he ended up losing control. And we were able to confirm that the knees were still up, so the ruling on the field stood.It's clear that Allen's knees were not Gio Gonzalez Jersey down. Control of the ball was murkier, but given that the play was ruled a fumble on the field, there wasn't clear and obvious evidence to overturn the call.NFL PLAYOFF PICTURE: The Cowboys (9-4) were able to run out the clock after recovering the fumble. They forced Washington (6-7) to burn its two remaining timeouts before picking up a first down on a Dak Prescott scramble. That got them to the two-minute warning, which allowed them to take a knee on their final Cameron Maybin Jersey three snaps.
