While there are many directions general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott could go with the first of the team’s ten draft picks, there are two franchises with strong ties to the Bills that have been rumored to be interested in trading up in the first round. In a story written by Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated and The Monday Morning Quarterback, Breer said he’s heard from sources that the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers are the two teams he’s heard most often associated with trading up in the draft. The Bills have ties to both organizations Bruce Smith Jerseys 2019 , which could pave the way for a draft-day trade with either Houston or Carolina. Brian Gaine, the current general manager of the Texans, previously served as vice president of player personnel for the Bills in 2017 before being recruited to take over as GM in January of 2018. And as every Bills fan knows by now, the Bills-Panthers connection runs deep. McDermott was the Panthers’ defensive coordinator from 2011-2016, orchestrating a top-ten defense every year from 2012-2015. Beane spent his entire career in Carolina before becoming the general manager of the Bills in May 2017. From 2008-2014, Beane served as the Panthers’ director of football operations before he was promoted to assistant GM for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Here’s what Breer had to say about the trade rumors involving the Panthers and Texans: “Carolina (No. 16) and Houston (No. 23) wouldn’t be going up for quarterbacks. In all likelihood, it’d be a move to get one of the top three tackles. Each has been very present in that market on the scouting trail over the last three months, and the dropoff from the first cluster (Alabama’s Jonah Williams, Florida’s Jawaan Taylor White Andre Reed Jerseys , Washington State’s Andre Dillard) to the second (Alabama State’s Tytus Howard, Ole Miss’ Greg Little) leaves both teams in a bit of a no man’s land, drafting too low for the former and too high for the latter. So both could move up or, failing that, move down,” Breer said.

One man who also ended the 2018 campaign sidelined because of injury will reportedly not participate in the action, however: according to the Boston Herald’s Kevin Duffy, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins will miss this week’s OTA practices as an excused absentee.The reason for Seferian-Jenkins not participating in the voluntary workouts is not yet known, although it should not be seen as a cause for concern given that the team apparently gave its blessing. We will therefore have to wait a bit longer to see the 26-year-old in a Patriots uniform for the first time since the team acquired him as a free agent in early April to bolster a tight end group that is undergoing a major transformation.Not only did Rob Gronkowski announce his retirement in late March Joe Thuney Jerseys 2019 , the team also moved on from Dwayne Allen and Jacob Hollister. In their place, Seferian-Jenkins will compete against Matt LaCosse, Benjamin Watson, Ryan Izzo, Stephen Anderson and Andrew Beck for a spot on the roster. Given his experience and steady albeit mediocre production in the past, the former second-round draft pick was seen as one of the favorites to make the team.Seferian-Jenkins, who appeared in only five games last season because of a core muscle injury, became available for the Patriots after his previous team White Michael Bennett Jerseys , the Jacksonville Jaguars, declined his contract option for the 2019 season. One month into free agency, New England brought him in on a one-year, $895,000 — reflective of his status as a player that needs to fight for a spot on the team.This week’s absence will likely not have too much of an impact on his long-term outlook with the team, but obviously does put him at a slight disadvantage compared to the other players at the position.

The Giants opted not to bring in veteran help after

liny — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 05:55:42 +0000

Saquon Barkley‘s ankle injury and that left them with undrafted rookies Jon Hilliman and Austin Walter at running back for Thursday night’s game against the Patriots.Hilliman fumbled and Walter played one offensive snap in the 35-14 loss Cody Latimer Jersey , which may have been enough to lead the Giants to reverse course. They worked out a handful of older backs on Friday and wound up signed former Raven Buck Allen.Allen was a 2015 fourth-round pick in Baltimore and appeared in 54 games over the last four seasons. He ran 340 times for 1,249 yards and eight touchdowns while catching 129 passes for 814 yards and six touchdowns.He signed with the Saints as a free agent in May and was released off their injured reserve list in August. How much playing time he gets with the Giants will be dependent on when Barkley and Wayne Gallman are cleared to return to action.Hilliman was cut to make room for Allen while Walter was waived earlier in the day when they re-signed quarterback Alex Tanney. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-6)OPEN CAMP: July 26, Ochsner Sports Performance Center, Metairie, LouisianaLAST YEAR: Helped by infusion of elite young talent, Saints pulled out of three-year rut of mediocrity and won NFC South. They were seconds away from advancing to NFC title game, only to be thwarted by Minnesota receiver Stefon Diggs‘ winning touchdown as time expired in divisional round. New Orleans received major contributions from running back and Offensive Rookie of Year Alvin Kamara http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-evan-engram-jersey , and cornerback and Defensive Rookie of Year Marshon Lattimore. Several other first-and second-year players filled regular roles as well, and veteran Drew Brees remained one of NFL’s top QBs.IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: LB Demario Davis, S Kurt Coleman, CB Patrick Robinson, WR Cameron Meredith, Rookie DE Marcus Davenport.IMPORTANT LOSSES: S Kenny Vaccaro, TE Coby Fleener Patrick Omameh Jersey , WR Willie Snead, G Senio Kelemete, RT Zach Strief, CB Delvin Breaux.CAMP NEEDS: Lineup is relatively stable from last-season’s playoff run, but New Orleans looking to bolster pass rush by finding someone who can make offenses pay for sending multiple blockers at All-Pro end Cameron Jordan. Saints want Davenport to develop into that player. But he is raw in first season out of UTSA. Saints also want to figure out which running backs can fill in for Mark Ingram during his four-game suspension to open season. Veteran free agents Shane Vereen and Terrence West, along with draft pick Boston Scott and second-year pro Trey Edmunds, are competing for those snaps.EXPECTATIONS: Saints appear to have gotten stronger and deeper than last season Womens Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , particularly with additions on defense. Keys to improving are how well new players fit and, as usual, avoiding injuries. If Davenport develops quickly, Saints could be elite. If not, teams with good plan to block Jordan could give New Orleans fits.—AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL

Ty Law wore dark sunglasses throughout his 28-minute

liny — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 05:41:34 +0000

Tedy Bruschi Jerseys 2019 , 29-second Pro Football Hall of Fame speech. They couldn’t hide his tears.Law, 45, became emotional several times and shed more than a few tears. “There ain’t no crying in football,” Law said. “I know. My bad.”Law, who played 203 games in 15 seasons with the Patriots, Jets and Chiefs, began his speech where his journey began — in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.“If you believe you are something, you will find it,” Law said. “You will find that spirit, that thought. You start to move differently, think differently. Success in life is about having a proper belief system. You’ve got to believe in who you are. You must believe in yourself.“There are so many other people that believed in me, too White Andre Tippett Jerseys , and I can’t stress the importance in that. You’ve got to have people who cheer you along the way. But none of that matters if you don’t believe in yourself. To get to this point, I had to believe in myself.”After thanking everyone who helped him get to Canton, Law circled back to where he began. He ended his speech by encouraging everyone to “believe in yourself.”“You can’t wait for someone else to validate your purpose,” Law said. “You have to believe in yourself. You can’t wait for somebody else to tell you you’re great. You have to believe in yourself. You can’t wait for society to tell you that you’re beautiful or that you’re a good person. You have to believe that for yourself. I thank each and every one of you for believing in me and my dreams. Because of you, my legacy lives on. Thank you for this incredible honor.” The NFL is down to two unbeaten teams.Kansas City failed to do much on either side of the ball in a 19-13 home loss to Indianapolis on Sunday night, leaving New England (5-0) and San Francisco (3-0) as the league's only teams without a setback. The 49ers host Cleveland on Monday night.The Chiefs (4-1) had scored at least 26 points in 27 consecutive regular-season games, the longest streak in NFL history. But the run ended with a lackluster effort against the Colts (3-2), who dominated the line of scrimmage.Marlon Mack had 132 yards rushing, finding holes against a defense that lost tackles Chris Jones and Xavier Williams to injuries.The Colts were equally impressive against reigning league MVP Patrick Mahomes. They spent most of the night in Kansas City's backfield, stuffing the ground game and putting constant pressure on Mahomes. He was sacked four times, hit more often, and spent the final few minutes hobbling around Arrowhead Stadium."We got beat in about every phase you can get beat this evening," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Mahomes finished with 321 yards passing and a touchdown.The Chiefs will try to regroup next week against Houston (3-2) Andre Tippett Jerseys 2019 , which scored 53 points — the second-most in franchise history — in a victory against Atlanta (1-4).Here are some other things that happened during Week 5 of the NFL season:STILL WINLESSFour teams remain without a victory: Cincinnati (0-5), Washington (0-5), Miami (0-4) and the New York Jets (0-4). At least one of them should snap out of their early season slump next week because the Dolphins host the Redskins.For now, though, it's the NFL's most winless teams through Week 5 in a decade. Kansas City, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Tennessee were winless after five weeks in 2009. Each of them ended its drought in the next three games.The Bengals got the closest to winning Sunday, scoring two touchdowns in a little more than 2 minutes against Arizona and tying the game at 23. But rookie Kyler Murray drove the Cardinals into position for the game-winning field goal on the final play.Cincy's problem was evident: It allowed 514 yards.Washington and the Jets were downright dismal on offense. The Redskins scored on their second possession against New England, getting a 65-yard run from receiver Cam Sims, but did little else . The Redskins finished with 220 yards and two turnovers.The Jets would have loved that kind of outburst considering they managed 128 yards at Philadelphia.ANOTHER INJURED QBPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph left the game against Baltimore because of a concussion caused by safety Earl Thomas' hit to the chin.Trailing 17-13 in the third quarter, Rudolph scrambled to his left, stepped up the field and flicked the ball to teammate James Washington just before the crown of Thomas' helmet hit Rudolph under the chin. Rudolph limply fell to the ground and laid there with his eyes closed while medical personnel rushed to his side. Rudolph woozily made his way off the field and to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.He was the second Steelers quarterback hurt this season. Starter Ben Roethlisberger is out for the year following elbow surgery.Carolina, Chicago White John Hannah Jerseys , Jacksonville, New Orleans and the New York Jets also are without their starting quarterback because of injury.PATRIOTS ROLLTom Brady passed Brett Favre for third place on the NFL's all-time passing list with 71,923 yards. Brady now trails only retired Peyton Manning (71,940) and injured New Orleans star Drew Brees (74,845). Brady also edged closer to Manning's record 539 touchdown passes with the 527th of his 20-year career.New England's defense has been even better than its 42-year-old icon.The Pats are allowing 6.8 points a game, better than two defenses widely considered the best in NFL history.The 1985 Chicago Bears allowed 12.4 points a game, and the 2000 Baltimore Ravens surrendered 10.3 points a game.NEWSY NUGGETSMahomes reached 7,000 yards passing in just the 22nd game of his NFL career, becoming the fastest player to reach that milestone in the Super Bowl era. He topped the previous mark by Hall of Famer Kurt Warner (25 games). ... Dallas' Amari Cooper notched his third game with at least 200 yards receiving. Only Calvin Johnson (5) and Jerry Rice (4) have more in the Super Bowl era. ... The Jets have more defensive/special teams touchdowns (3) than offensive touchdowns (2) this season. ... Houston's Deshaun Watson posted a perfect passer rating (158.3) thanks to having the same number of passing touchdowns (5) as incompletions.

Today, our tournament continues with our next playoff win match up: The 1976 NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams pitted against the 1974 Divisional playoff game against the St. Louis Cardinals.1976 NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams: The Vikings and the Rams had a pretty significant rivalry in the 1970’s, and it seems like they met in the playoffs every year. If ever a Rams team was going to knock off the Vikes Adult Cameron Smith Jersey , it kind of felt like 1976 was it. The two teams had played to a 10-10 tie in week 2, and the Rams opened up this game by marching right down the field. But their drive stalled at about the one inch line, and on the ensuing field goal attempt, the kick was blocked and returned 90 yards for a touchdown by Bobby Bryant. That set the tone of the game, as the Rams just seemed to shoot themselves in the foot as much as anything. They managed to get to within 17-13 by the start of the fourth quarter, but a Sammy Johnson 12 yard TD run sealed the game, sending the Vikes to their fourth Super Bowl, and third in four years.1974 Divisional Playoff against the St. Louis Cardinals: This was kind of a typical Vikings game from back in the Purple People Eaters era. The defense (or special teams) usually made a big play at just the right moment that changed the complexion of the game. In this case, it was a Terry Metcalf fumble that Nate Wright scooped and scored on that gave the Vikes a 17-7 lead Big And Tall Cameron Smith Jersey , and was the turning point that made a close game a blowout. From there, John Gilliam caught a long TD pass, and the Vikes advanced to the NFC Championship. I also did a show and tell on Tuesday for my third grade class. Had the big picture from the Minneapolis Tribune of Nate Wright’s scoop and score, John Gilliam’s TD pass, everything. It was, by all accounts, the greatest show and tell presentation in the history of the Richfield public school system. Teddy Bridgewater had a chance to leave for Miami in the offseason. He chose to return for another season behind Drew Brees in New Orleans.With Brees sitting out the preseason opener Friday night, Bridgewater got a chance to start against the team that drafted him 32nd overall in 2014.Bridgewater, 26 Cameron Smith Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , played the entire first half against the Vikings. The Saints ran 33 plays and gained 168 yards in the first half, with Bridgewater turning a 14-12 halftime deficit over to third-string quarterback Taysom Hill. The Vikings won the game, 34-25.Bridgewater went 14-for-19 for 134 yards, a touchdown and a 110.3 passer rating.His touchdown pass came in the two-minute drill, an 18-yarder to Dan Arnold with 44 seconds left in the half. His two-point pass attempt, though, was incomplete.Bridgewater spent four seasons in Minnesota before signing with the Jets as a free agent. The Jets traded him to the Saints before the start of last season.

The Buffalo Bills’ long-awaited playoff appearance

liny — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 06:32:10 +0000

might not have been so short-lived had their coaching staff played the percentages and not a hunch in their 10-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. On first-and-goal from the Jaguars 1 Andre Reed Jersey , coach Sean McDermott and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison elected to call a run-pass option instead of asking quarterback Tyrod Taylor to either run it in himself or hand it off to running back LeSean McCoy against one of the most vulnerable run defenses in the playoffs. ”I want a running play,” McCoy said. ”It was a play I was lobbying for the whole time and it didn’t work out …” Instead, Taylor lofted a fade pass toward the left corner of the end zone where Kelvin Benjamin was whistled for offensive pass interference on All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, pushing the Bills back 10 yards. The drive stalled from there and Stephen Haushka’s 31-yard field goal was all the Bills had to show for their 18-play, 71-yard drive that took 8:06, their only decent drive all game. McDermott also botched the end of the first half by calling pass plays on second-and-6 at his 14 (incomplete) and the next down (5-yard completion to Zay Jones in which he was pushed out of bounds). Instead of taking a knee and heading to the locker room with a 3-0 lead, the Bills gave the Jaguars the ball back with enough time to get into field goal range and score and gain some momentum heading into the locker room. The Bills’ curious play call, however, paled in contrast to the series of odd calls by referee Jeff Triplette’s playoff crew in Kansas City, where the Tennessee Titans overcame an 18-point halftime deficit to shock the Chiefs 22-21. ”Horrible way to start the playoffs,” tweeted Mike Pereira , the former NFL officiating chief turned Fox sports analyst. ”I hate to say it, but this was not a good performance by the crew. Teams and fans deserve better.” A day later Womens Shaq Lawson Jersey , Pereira praised both Tony Corrente’s crew in New Orleans and John Hussey’s crew in Jacksonville, adding, ”Yesterday is a memory. I feel bad for Jeff Triplette. He is a great man who was part of a crew that did not have a good game. I feel bad that he is retiring under this cloud.” After Marcus Mariota caught his own deflected pass for a touchdown Saturday, Triplette explained that the Titans quarterback was an eligible receiver because he had lined up in the shotgun formation rather than under center. There is no such rule in the NFL. Whenever a defensive player deflects a pass, every offensive player is allowed to catch the ricochet, including the quarterback and it matters not where he lined up when the play began. Then, there was the very quick whistle that negated a fumble recovery by Justin Houston after fellow linebacker Derrick Johnson sacked Mariota in the second quarter. Mariota fumbled a split-second after contact, but Triplette said the QB’s forward progress had been stopped before the fumble. Forward progress is usually called when a running back is stopped and defenders are piling on him or several defenders drape a quarterback. Hardly ever is it applied when a QB is going to the ground on initial contact by a single defender. As a judgment call, Chiefs coach Andy Reid was helpless to throw his red challenge flag, and Ryan Succop kicked a field goal on the next play. ”The defender hit him and he was driving him back,” Triplette said after the game. The officials had one more gaffe in them, one that was corrected on replay review. The crew initially called a fumble on Titans running back Derrick Henry late in the fourth quarter, signaling touchdown when Johnson scooped up the ball and rumbled into the end zone as fireworks lit up the sky. The replays showed he was down before the ball came loose. Before wild-card weekend began http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-logan-thomas-jersey , there were several notable calls concerning the Cincinnati Bengals. Bills fans giddy over Buffalo ending the longest playoff drought in North American pro sports made a surge in donations to Andy Dalton’s foundation , their way of thanking the Bengals QB for his role in the Bills’ first invitation to the postseason party in 17 years. Dalton’s foundation received more than $300,000 in donations after the Bengals beat the Ravens 31-27 in the regular-season finale when Dalton threw a 49-yard TD pass with 44 seconds left to eliminate Baltimore and open a spot for Buffalo. ”I think I’m the hottest guy in Buffalo right now,” Dalton said. While the Bills’ long streak of playoff futility is over, the Bengals’ streak continues. They haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the sixth-longest streak of postseason futility in NFL history. They’ve lost all seven of their playoff games since that season, including an NFL-record five straight first-round defeats from 2011-15. The Bengals missed out on the playoffs for a second straight season, going 7-9. They won their last two games, knocking the Lions and Ravens out of the playoff race. That was enough for owner Mike Brown to give coach Marvin Lewis a two-year extension and two more chances to try to get the Bengals that playoff victory that has eluded him for 15 seasons. Lewis has the second-longest active coaching tenure in the NFL, behind only Bill Belichick’s 18 seasons with New England. Unlike Belichick, who has won five Super Bowls and made two other appearances in the title game, Lewis is 0-7 in the playoffs, the worst such coaching record in NFL history. In Denver Josh Allen Jersey , John Elway thought long and hard about canning coach Vance Joseph after a 5-11 debut but decided to stick with him. However, Joseph fired a half dozen assistants, saying it was time to change the culture ”so we could get back to pushing our players to be the best that they can be.” All six of the fired coaches directed rookies who underperformed in 2017, so they’re the ones shouldering the blame for Elway’s so-far dismal draft class. Elway said at his season-ending news conference he’s not perfect and always striving to learn, but he took a jab at a reporter , suggesting that when he finally has this front office football job perfected, he’ll retire and go into radio because then he’ll be a fellow know-it-all. — We break down Buffalo’s schedule, give our final choices for pick No. 9, and mention players/positions to avoid with that pick."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL DraftOpinionBuffalo Bills NFL Draft CoverageBillieve Podcast: Schedule release, final draft chatterWe break down Buffalo’s schedule, give our final choices for pick No. 9, and mention players/positions to avoid with that pick.EDTShareTweetShareShareBillieve Podcast: Schedule release, final draft chatterOn the latest episode of Billieve: A Buffalo Bills Fan Podcast Womens LeSean McCoy Jersey , host John Boccacino and co-host Anthony Marino discuss the unveiling of the 2019 Buffalo Bills’ schedule, and give their final thoughts on what Buffalo should (and shouldn’t) do with the No. 9 overall pick in the NFL Draft. The schedule is highlighted by Buffalo’s first Thanksgiving game in 25 years when the Bills travel to Dallas Nov. 28.

The Giants don’t have a losing record after four games for the first time since 2016.They are 2-2 after an easy 24-3 win over Washington in quarterback Daniel Jones‘s first home start for the team. Jones wasn’t nearly as electric as he was in his Week Three debut, but did make some plays with his feet and his two interceptions wound up leading to just three points against a hapless Washington side.Jones threw a touchdown to cap the first possession of the game and the Giants raced out to a 14-0 lead that wouldn’t be threatened even with the offense only putting up three more points over the course of the afternoon.Reports this week indicated that head coach Jay Gruden might get fired after a loss and there wasn’t much to recommend an extended stay on Sunday. Washington forced four turnovers Womens Daniel Jones Jersey , but their offense was dismal before and after benching Case Keenum for Dwayne Haskins. Keenum threw an interception early and the first-round pick threw three interceptions in the second half.That supports Gruden’s belief that the rookie isn’t ready to start, but Keenum hasn’t looked more prepared the last couple of weeks. If Gruden’s back for the next game, perhaps Colt McCoy will get a look.Outside of the quarterbacking, Washington could point to 12 penalties as a major reason for their fourth straight loss to open the season. Given the thin amount of talent on hand Authentic Daniel Jones Jersey , there’s no way to overcome that kind of self-destructiveness.Wayne Gallman lost a fumble, but otherwise had a solid game in his first start in place of the injured Saquon Barkley. He ran 18 times for 63 yards, caught six passes for 55 yards and scored two touchdowns. Sterling Shepard added seven catches for 76 yards and the Giants will remain at home to host the Vikings next week in what figures to be a step up in competition after Sunday’s snoozer.

For the New England Patriots Color Rush Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , Week 8 of the regular season is already in the books — the team defeated the visiting Cleveland Browns with a final score of 27-13 to improve to 8-0 on the year. Tonight’s primetime game is therefore a relaxing affair, and a chance to scout a team that is on New England’s schedule later this year. So what does this mean for the club? And who should Patriots fans root for?

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman will pay his fine from the NFL for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New Orleans receiver Tommylee Lewis in the NFC championship game.The Rams’ slot cornerback wants to move past the drama surrounding that now-infamous hit, which also appeared to happen well before Drew Brees‘ pass arrived in the fourth quarter last Sunday. No flag was thrown for pass interference or for the helmet-to-helmet nature of the hit Youth Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , possibly altering the outcome of Los Angeles’ 26-23 overtime victory at New Orleans.“It’s all good, and I’m moving on,” Robey-Coleman said. “That’s how the league feels. That’s their call.”Robey-Coleman confirmed he received a fine from the NFL on Friday, essentially a tacit acknowledgement by the league that a penalty should have been called. The NFL Network reported he was fined $26,739.Robey-Coleman wouldn’t say whether he agreed with the league’s decision to fine him for helmet-to-helmet contact, but the veteran defensive back acknowledged after the game that he could have easily been whistled for pass interference.“It’s the league’s call Womens Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , the ref’s call,” Robey-Coleman said. “I have nothing to do with that (decision). I made a football play. The ref made his call, and there’s nothing else that I could do about it. That’s their call, and that’s something that you just have to live with as a football team, and we’re going to the Super Bowl, so we just have to move on.”They’re not done talking about it in New Orleans Authentic Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , however. The no-call has sparked outrage among the Saints and their fans, including calls for a Super Bowl boycott. Two lawsuits have been filed over the officiating, calling for everything from a replay of the game’s final moments to full refunds for Superdome fans.New Orleans coach Sean Payton said the referees “blew the call.”If Robey-Coleman had been flagged, the Saints would have been able to wind down the clock to the final seconds of regulation before kicking a short field goal, putting them in a commanding position to win. Instead, the Rams are going to their first Super Bowl in 17 years after they drove for a tying field goal and an overtime winner.The Rams have been diplomatic about their fortunate break Hjalte Froholdt Jersey Boys , acknowledging the sketchy nature of Robey-Coleman’s hit while also gently pointing out that one play doesn’t decide any game.“All we do as coaches, if a (penalty) is called, we usually get mad if it’s against us,” Los Angeles defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said. “If a (penalty) is not called, we thought they were holding Aaron Donald or something. But if they don’t call it, you go to the next play. That’s the way the game has been played for a long time.”By paying the fine instead of appealing it Infant Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , Robey-Coleman hopes to turn his focus to facing Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in Atlanta next weekend. Robey-Coleman is likely to line up extensively against Julian Edelman, the Patriots’ vaunted slot receiver.“Him and Tom (Brady) work great together,” said Robey-Coleman, who faced the Patriots repeatedly during his time in the AFC East with the Buffalo Bills. “Can’t wait to get on the field and play against those guys.”

of the week.The Jets announced Gase’s interview Friday has concluded. The former Dolphins coach was in Arizona earlier in the week.The Jets’ decision to interview Gase makes sense given he went 5-1 against them in his three seasons. He was 18-24 against everyone else.The Dolphins fired Gase on Monday.Because of Ryan Tannehill‘s injuries during Gase’s tenure in Miami Nathan Shepherd Jerseys 2019 , the Dolphins had Jay Cutler, Matt Moore and Brock Osweiler combine to start 24 games.Gase served as the offensive coordinator in Denver (2013-14) and Chicago (2015).

The Vikings confirmed that Kevin Stefanski

liny — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 05:48:28 +0000

will be returning to the team as their offensive coordinator in 2019.The announcement came after reports earlier on Wednesday that Stefanski would stay in Minnesota after interviewing for the Browns’ head coaching job. Freddie Kitchens is expected to be officially announced as the new head coach in Cleveland.“Kevin is a smart young coach with a bright future Discount Alexander Mattison Jersey ,” head coach Mike Zimmer said in a statement. “I’m happy to have him take over the offensive coordinator job. His work ethic and teaching ability have been obvious to me behind the scenes since I came here five years ago. He’s well respected by coaches and players both and I know he’s up to the task.”The 2019 season is the final one on Zimmer’s current contract and he said last week that he’s comfortable coaching out the year without any extension. If that’s how things go on the contract front and Stefanski’s not up to the task, the chances both men are looking for jobs next year could be good. The Vikings have spent some recent draft capital on cornerbacks, selecting three in the first round of the past six drafts. Of the eight first-rounders in that stretch, the Vikings took Xavier Rhodes 25th in 2013, Trae Waynes 11th in 2015 and Mike Hughes 30th in 2018.They also used a second-round choice on cornerback Mackensie Alexander in 2016.So General Manager Rick Spielman has been told in no uncertain terms that he will not use a first-round pick on a cornerback this year.“Everybody has angst,” Spielman said Tuesday. “My wife . . . I’ll leave that at home. She said, ‘If you draft another corner, don’t come home. You can just stay at the office.’ Although there’s some pretty good corners that we like in the first round.”The question was about the Vikings’ need for offensive linemen. The Vikings Stitched Olisaemeka Udoh Jersey , though, aren’t willing to reach for an offensive lineman when it’s their time to select.“I understand where everything is, but I also understand that if we have a guy that we think is a Pro Bowl talent, and for some reason that guy falls to us at 18, how do you not take that player?” Spielman said. “Plus, you have to balance out the depth at each position, too. If there’s a unique situation where a Pro Bowl-caliber player falls to you at 18, and you’re taking a lesser talented player Olisaemeka Udoh Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , I think you’re going to make a mistake. But I also believe with the depth at certain positions, when it goes into the Friday draft, you’re also going to get some pretty significant players. We always look as we make the decisions, you have a player at this position and a player at this position, and which one are you going to take? We can say we’re going to take this one because underneath him, there’s a huge drop off [in the position groups’ talent]. So if we don’t take him right here, we’re not going to get a need filled with a good player. If there’s four or five more players underneath that we do like, that’s when the potential is to take the one of those guys that falls to you. It could also be trading back in the draft to accumulate more draft picks Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , because we’re still going to get that same value of player as long as we have those four or five names there. You also have to really pay attention to where the run of the positions go in the draft.“Two years ago, we had to move up to get Pat Elflein, for example, because there was a run right in there, and he was one of the few players left that we liked. Last year the run on the offensive linemen went earlier than where we picked. You have to weigh all that out, and you have to be able to react once you see how that board is coming off and where the runs are on positions.”

Devin Singletary Jersey Draft

liny — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 06:35:55 +0000

GREEN BAY Devin Singletary Jersey Draft , Wis. (AP) — This is more like it for the Green Bay Packers.The offense built a big lead as quarterback Aaron Rodgers gutted through another game with a brace on his injured left knee. The defense had seven sacks and pitched a shutout for the first time in eight seasons.They put together their most complete game of the year in a 22-0 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.“I’ll just definitely start off with the defense. I mean, the shutout is huge. It’s what you’re looking for,” coach Mike McCarthy said.And just the edge that the Packers (2-1-1) needed with Rodgers not necessarily playing at his best. He was 22 of 40 for 298 yards with one touchdown. Green Bay had decisive edges in total offense (423-145) and first downs (22-11).Rodgers also threw an interception off a deflected pass and fumbled the ball away on a sack early in the fourth quarter. The offense wasn’t as productive in the second half after a fast start.Ever the perfectionist, Rodgers certainly wasn’t pleased, even if he seemed to be moving a little bitter this week.“It was as bad as we’ve played on offense with that many yards in a long time,” Rodgers said.The Bills (1-3) were much worse.Rookie quarterback Josh Allen accounted for three turnovers, including two interceptions and a fumble late in the fourth quarter that stood on review. He was 16 of 33 for 151 yards.The Bills had a much tougher time on the road in the NFC North, a week after a stunning win at heavily favored Minnesota.“I take this one on my shoulders,” Allen said. “We can only go as far as the quarterback goes.”Buffalo did manage to force Rodgers to throw his first interception of the year .But a 16-0 lead at the half was more than enough cushion against Buffalo’s feeble offense. Even the return of running back LeSean McCoy, who missed a game because of a rib injury, didn’t help the Bills (1-3).“We were out of rhythm on offense. We needed to find some consistency,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said.GOING TO GRAHAMRodgers and Jimmy Graham connected on their first touchdown pass of the year . Signed in the offseason as a free agent, the athletic tight end made his first official Lambeau Leap after a touchdown earlier this season was wiped out by a flag.“Usually they come in bunches, so hopefully this is the beginning,” said Graham, who finished with 21 yards on three catches.ANOTHER AARONAaron Jones added 65 yards and a score on 11 carries for the Packers, who slowed in the second half after a fast start on offense. A slasher with big-play ability, Jones could eventually emerge as the top ballcarrier in the Packers’ crowded backfield.PACKER POINTSGreen Bay posted its first shutout since a 9-0 win over the Jets in 2010. … Mason Crosby kicked two 52-yard field goals, bouncing back after an extra-point attempt in the first quarter hit the right upright. … S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix picked up his third interception of the year.BAD BILLSA physical defense for Green Bay held the Bills to eight punts and three turnovers on their first 11 drives. Allen was sacked seven times, three by Kyler Fackrell.“We’ve got to make sure we establish the line of scrimmage and that sets up the running game, that sets up the pass game Devin Singletary NFL Jersey ,” McDermott said. “But you’ve got to make sure you’re winning your one-on-one, whatever that is.”McCoy finished with 24 yards on five carries, and 13 yards on three receptions. He walked out of the locker room after the game with what appeared his left hand heavily wrapped.HEY CLAYThings went so well for the D that linebacker Clay Matthews was credited for a half-sack after drawing roughing-the-passer penalties in each of the first three weeks. He finished with five tackles and a hurry on the 6-foot-5 Allen.“Allen is a big kid, so I don’t think any of his sacks were those weight or pressure on them that you’ve seen weeks prior,” Matthews said. “But hopefully they call it like that moving forward because I didn’t see any today, which is great.”INJURY REPORTBills WR Kelvin Benjamin had one catch for 34 yards before leaving in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury. Benjamin absorbed a hard hit from Clinton-Dix on a play that also led to the safety’s interception. … S Micah Hyde had a disappointing return to Lambeau after leaving in the first quarter with a groin injury. Hyde left the Packers as a free agent after the 2016 season. … Packers WR Geronimo Allison left in the third quarter to be evaluated for a concussion.UP NEXTBills: Host Tennessee Titans on Oct. 7.Packers: Visit Detroit Lions on Oct. 7. After a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Buffalo Bills are looking to rebound against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. A lot of people are picking the Bills to win this one with ease but don’t be surprised if Washington gives Buffalo a run for their money. To preview the match-up we talked to Andrew York from Hogs Haven to see what’s going on in Washington.

1) What has been the reaction to the whole Trent Williams situation this year?It’s been a roller coaster. When it was first reported that Trent didn’t report for mandatory practice, I think fans were evenly divided about whether or not the team should trade him or try to retain him. He still had 2 more years on his contract, so most fans weren’t in favor of extending him if he just wanted more money (considering he had been paid like a top-5 LT for years). As time went on, we got more reports that the holdout wasn’t just about money, and had at least as much to do with his frustration with team doctors. For a long time, both Trent Williams and the front office refused to talk much about this situation, so we didn’t really know what each side’s grievances were. As I write this Halloween night, Trent Williams has just today given a press interview where he goes into detail about his side of things. He says a lump on his head was discovered 6 years ago and dismissed by team doctors as benign, but this offseason was diagnosed as a rare and potentially life-threatening cancer and removed in a major surgery from which he is still recovering (he hasn’t been medically cleared to play yet). This story is still breaking, so I won’t opine too much about it yet, as more will undoubtedly come out in time. It could explain the team’s reluctance to entertain trade talks (if he wasn’t medically cleared to play) and it could explain the somewhat personal way in which Trent seems to have been refusing to stay with the team. Given that we still have much to learn, I’ll only say that trading Trent would probably be in everyone’s best interests. Trent wants to go, and the team needs draft capital more than expensive Pro Bowl veterans in what looks to be a rebuild.2) Are fans ready to see Dwayne Haskins get game action the rest of the season?I think the fanbase is somewhat evenly split about whether or not Haskins should be starting right now. There are quite a few who think he should be getting that game experience in a lost season, but there are also quite a few who think starting him too early would be detrimental to his development. However, almost every coach Devin Singletary NFL Draft , player, and former player who is asked about it seems to think Haskins isn’t ready to start, and I tend to think they know what they’re talking about more than fans do. I’d rather the football people make that decision based on what they see in practice, and clearly what they see isn’t good enough yet. Ever since the Redskins drafted Haskins, they have been preaching patience with him, so I think they knew from the start that he was a very raw prospect (only started one year in college) with tremendous talent who would require time to develop.Given that lead QB Case Keenum is in the concussion protocol, we may not have a choice. I think the team would clearly prefer to start Keenum, but it looks like Haskins will start if Keenum isn’t cleared in time. I personally think that it’s fine to continue starting Keenum if Haskins isn’t ready for now, but Haskins needs to start a few games this year so the team can evaluate him in games. The Redskins will likely have a top-3 pick in next year’s draft without needing to trade, the first time that has been the case in many years. We need to know if that rare pick should be spent on a QB or if we can trade back and build the rest of the team around Haskins.3) What can this team improve on to make the season somewhat of a success?The team can improve upon virtually every aspect of play and coaching. In terms of likely areas of growth, I think the team is getting better at rushing the ball with interim head coach Bill Callahan’s commitment to the run game. The passing offense was largely designed by former head coach Jay Gruden and the rushing offense was largely designed by Bill Callahan, and the two never meshed well together in years past (largely because the run and pass plays looked different, telegraphing our intent). New offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell was brought in this year to help make the run game mesh with the pass game, and Callahan’s commitment to running the ball has really set up the play-action passing game. The offense still looks bad (largely due to poor QB play), but I think we will have a productive rushing game that helps out the passing game due to play-action passes. We can also get more passes to rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who has looked like one of the steals of the draft. He has 4.3 speed, but is also a polished route runner and is surprisingly physical. He is one of the players the Redskins will be building around for years, and we need to get him more involved.On the other side of the ball, I think the defense started out terrible, but has been slowly improving over the course of the season (even if it’s not obvious in the box score). We’ve got a lot of young players on defense who were making mistakes early on, but have since started to develop more consistent play. We’ve also got several veteran players who were sidelined by injury Devin Singletary Buffalo Bills Jersey , but are now coming back healthy. As much as our defensive coordinator Greg Manusky has been (deservedly) maligned by Redskins fans, I think he has finally started to improve his playcalling and defensive scheming too. I don’t think the defense will be great, but I expect it to be better than one of the NFL’s worst (like in the first few weeks of the season).4) How should Buffalo go about attacking this team?On offense, Buffalo should go for lots of screens and passes to RBs (our LBs are terrible in coverage), as well as the occasional deep shot to a speedy WR matched up with CB Josh Norman in coverage. Josh Norman was once an All-Pro talent, but has been pretty terrible this year, particularly against deep threats. Buffalo should not go for runs up the middle, as we’re a bit better at defending that with a capable interior defensive line.On defense, Buffalo should double-team WR Terry McLaurin to shut down the passing game. He’s our only pass catcher who consistently gets open, though getting open is no guarantee of success with Case Keenum throwing the ball. You should also stack the box, because our offense is likely to lean on the run. If Case Keenum starts at QB, you should shift coverages right before the snap, because he often seems to decide where he’s going to throw before the snap and stares down his intended pass catcher. If Dwayne Haskins starts, just use lots of disguised coverages and blitzes. The game is still too fast for him.5) Predictions for Sunday?The Bills win, but maybe not by a lot. The Redskins offense will be terrible and will likely give up a lot of turnovers to a great Bills secondary. But I think the Redskins defense won’t be as terrible as their season rankings make them seem. We have a lot of good players on defense, and they’ve been slowly gelling over the course of the season. They will continue to get placed in bad situations by the offense, but I think they could keep this a low scoring game. Especially if the defensive players up front can get pressure on Josh Allen. I predict a low-scoring Bills win, though I am always prepared for my Redskins to disappoint even those low expectations.

To put that accomplishment in perspective, the Giants have since had three head coaches (Ben McAdoo, Steve Spagnuolo, and Pat Shurmur) and two defensive coordinators (Spagnuolo and James Bettcher).That’s a mighty long dry spell for a defensive unit that claims to pride itself on being aggressive in getting after the quarterback.This year with an improved defensive secondary on board to hopefully hold the coverage better, there is hope that the Giants will not only be in the top half of the league in sacks but will have one of their young players, such as second-year man Lorenzo Carter, emerge as a double-digit sack artist. The basicsHeight: 6-foot-5Weight: 252Age: 23Position: EdgeExperience: 2How he got hereCarter was a third-round pick (No. 66 overall) out of the University of Georgia and the eighth linebacker chosen overall in the 2017 draft. However, like most young draft picks Julian Love Buffalo Bills Jersey , Carter’s jump from college, where in four seasons he posted 166 total tackles (83 solo), 21.5 tackles for a loss, 14.0 sacks and six forced fumbles, to the pros is a work in progress.In 442 defensive snaps over 15 games (with two starts), Carter finished with 43 tackles, 4.0 sacks, and four passes defensed — not bad numbers for his first season. According to Pro Football Focus, Carter finished tied for 11th (out of 25 rookie edge rushers) in pass-rushing productivity with a 6.3 score achieved in 298 pass-rush snaps. His 17 hurries put him in the top 10 among rookie edge rushers Authentic Christopher Slayton Jersey , tying him for ninth with Frankie Luvu of the Jets and Uchenna Nwosu of the Chargers.But like most rookies, Carter underwent a transition period where he probably wasn’t playing as fast as he is capable of doing, a factor not lost on outside linebackers coach Mike Dawson, who will work with Carter and the rest o the edge rushers for the first time this year.“He’s got the tools where he’s strong enough, and he’s got the athletic ability,” Dawson said. “Really kind of getting to know this language. He was in kind of a 3-4 system in college, but some of the terms are different. It may be the same term, just named something different, and having to process that in your head. When you don’t have to think about that Christopher Slayton Jersey Boys , I think that helps you play a little bit better.” 2019 outlookWith Olivier Vernon having been traded to Cleveland, Carter will get a golden opportunity to compete for some of those snaps in tandem with Markus Golden. Defensive coordinator James Bettcher, who is counting on Carter to play a more prominent role in this year’s defense, noted that like all players before him, it’s all about building up one’s resume.“Lorenzo Carter has to build his resume,” Bettcher said. “The only way the guys get a chance to do that is on the field getting snaps. Getting their butt coached off and taking it.”Carter, who spoke before this year’s draft, sounded patient when it came to questions about feeling pressure to add sacks. “Sacks are going to come. Sacks are the things that people over analyze and like to look at a lot,” he said. “If we play the way we are supposed to play and work fast and hard Youth Eli Manning Jerseys , it is going to come. Everything will fall into place. I am not worried about trying to add sacks to the team. It will come.”Sacks might eventually come, but it would sure help in the meantime if players can get off blocks and at least pressure opposing quarterbacks into throwing quicker than they’d prefer. The Giants continue to say Eli Manning remains the starting quarterback. Daniel Jones continues to make that look like a difficult decision.Jones is once again playing well in the preseason this evening, taking over for Manning after one series and looking like he has complete command of the offense. At halftime Jones is 9-for-11 for 141 yards.From all indications, all of the decision-makers on the Giants — owner John Mara, General Manager Dave Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur — are on the same page that Manning is the starting quarterback and Jones will develop better in the long run if he has some time to learn while watching Manning from the sideline.But how long that can last remains to be seen. Jones’ impressive preseason could put a lot of pressure on Manning to play well early this season, or else he could lose his starting job and not get it back.

The Jets believe quarterback Sam Darnold will improve as a byproduct of practicing against defensive coordinator Gregg Williams this summer White Kelvin Beachum Jerseys , but that’s not the only avenue Darnold is using in an effort to make strides heading into his second season.Like many other quarterbacks, Darnold has organized throwing sessions with his teammates to fill the time between the end of the offseason program and the start of training camp. Some of those quarterbacks organize one block of time to work with receivers, but Darnold has doubled down.Manish Mehta of the reports that Darnold is holding the second round this week and weekend as the start of training camp draws closer.Darnold is familiar with players like Robby Anderson Kelvin Beachum Jerseys 2019 , Quincy Enunwa and Chris Herndon after playing with them last season, but has to get accustomed to working with Le'Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder after they arrived as free agents. Per Mehta, about six other players are expected to attend this round although it is not clear if either of the newcomers will be part of the action. After Taylor Bertolet missed two extra points in his first preseason game for the Jets White Morris Claiborne Jerseys , head coach Adam Gase said that the team would “keep working” on stabilizing the kicker position.Their first hope was that Chandler Catanzaro would provide that stability, but he retired after missing two extra points of his own in the first preseason game. Bertolet was the only kicker brought in to replace him, but he acknowledged this week that competition doesn’t only come from others on the roster.“I guess it’s encouraging Morris Claiborne Jerseys 2019 ,” Bertolet said, via the . “But again, I still believe that I’m competing against every other kicker in the NFL. The reality is that they’re looking at every guy. They could obviously make front office decisions where that changes quickly. So White Josh McCown Jerseys , I have to do my job every single time I got out there, because you never know who they’re watching.”They were watching Bertolet at the end of the first Jets drive on Thursday night and the Jets probably didn’t like what they saw. Bertolet missed a 53-yard field goal and will now have to hope for more chances to show he can handle the job.

Brett Jones Jersey

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook seemed to be on track for a stellar season in 2017 Brett Jones Jersey , until a non-contact torn ACL ended his rookie campaign. He’s now feeling like he’s ready to roll, again.“I’m getting back to how I used to feel,” Cook said this week, via Dane Mizutani of the . “My confidence [is] out the roof. I feel great. I’ve had a great offseason.”Cook had 444 yards from scrimmage through four starts as a rookie, before suffering the injury that sidelined him until 2018. Last year, chronic hamstring problems held Cook to 615 rushing yards and 305 receiving yards, in 11 regular-season games. He had only one 100-yard rushing performance.Cook thinks he can do much more this year.“I feel like the ceiling is real high for me,” Cook said. “Everything I want is still in front of me. Everything I can do is still in front of me. I’m capable of doing a lot of things. I still haven’t scratched the surface yet.”To get there, the key will be to stay healthy. Cook has yet to prove he can do that. For running backs, it’s a critical component of the player’s overall game. Once Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings took the lead on Green Bay Dan Bailey Jersey , they played with a fierce refusal to let it go.They held onto the ball with the same determination.Cousins bounced back from his worst game of the season with 342 passing yards and three touchdowns without a fumble or an interception, and the Vikings overcame some early gaffes to outlast the depleted Packers for a 24-17 victory on Sunday night.Completing 29 of his 38 attempts, Cousins found Dalvin Cook , Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen for scores. Diggs and Thielen had eight receptions apiece.“It just kind of shows his character, shows what kind of player he is, to be able to just not really care what people talk about him, not really care about what happened last week,” Thielen said of Cousins, adding: “The throws he was making, his full game was really impressive. That’s what you expect out of him.”Sheldon Richardson had two sacks to lead the defense’s game-long stifling of Aaron Rodgers Tom Compton Jersey , and the Vikings (6-4-1) pushed the Packers (4-6-1) further back in the NFC wild card race.The Vikings won a night game for the first time this season after losing to the top three teams in the NFC: to the Rams in Los Angeles, at home to the New Orleans Saints and at Chicago in a two-interception game by Cousins against the first-place Bears. The Vikings entered the weekend with the fourth-most turnovers in the NFL, and Cousins has been charged with 13 of the 16 giveaways. Coach Mike Zimmer was so impressed by the way Cousins played against the Packers that he gave him the game ball in the locker room afterward .“Last week left a bad taste in our mouths,” Cousins said, “and the chance to come back on Sunday night football against a division rival at home was a great opportunity, and I’m glad we made the most of it.”Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Davante Adams and Aaron Jones scored on a short run for a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter, but the Packers fell to 0-6 on the road this season and 1-5-1 against the Vikings in their last seven meetings. Their final seven possessions produced only one field goal, with five punts and one turnover on downs.“We’ve all got to play better, myself included,” Rodgers said. “Started off the game nice. We had a couple good drives. We’re rolling there. We hit our unfortunate typical lull and didn’t get it going again.”With Randall Cobb out (hamstring) for a sixth game this season and rookies Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow) and Trevor Davis (hamstring) forced out in the second half Alexander Mattison Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , Rodgers didn’t have much to work with down the field. Left guard Lane Taylor (quadriceps) departed in the first half and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) was sidelined in the second half, leaving the protection shaky at best. Rodgers finished 17 for 28 for 198 yards, without a turnover.The Packers failed to move the chains on eight of 10 third downs. Jones was stuffed on fourth-and-inches by Harrison Smith, Danielle Hunter and Eric Kendricks midway through the third quarter, giving the Vikings the ball at the Green Bay 44. That set up a 37-yard field goal by Dan Bailey for Minnesota’s first lead of the game.“We’re definitely not in the position, record-wise, we thought we would be in coming into the year or even after this game. We thought we could get the victory. But unfortunately we ran out of gas,” Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said. “We’re beat up, no doubt about that. But give them credit: They put in a full four quarters.”SLOW STARTThe Vikings outgained the Packers 280-139 in total yardage in the first half, but they had to settle for a tie at the break. About to go for it on fourth-and-inches on the opening drive following a timeout to strategize Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , they were penalized for 12 men on the field and had to punt.Diggs collided with Thielen when Jaire Alexander crashed their pick play on the second possession, and after Diggs tried to circle back the other way with an ill-fated salvage attempt he lost 10 yards on that reception to lead to another punt.Bailey’s wide left 48-yard try wasted another highlight-reel catch by Thielen in between Alexander and Josh Jones that went for 33 yards. Later in the second quarter, after some mismanagement of the clock, the Vikings had to hustle to set up a 51-yard kick for Bailey. That one was good, but Rashod Hill was called for a false start. The 56-yarder sliced right, the fifth straight missed field goal against the Packers after rookie Daniel Carlson went 0 for 3 in Green Bay and was cut the next day.PACKED AND HAPPY HOUSEThe announced attendance of 66,872 was the largest for the Vikings in three years at U.S. Bank Stadium. A handful of Minnesota players were introduced in the first quarter with Paul Bunyan’s Axe, the trophy the Gophers repossessed from the rival Badgers in Wisconsin on Saturday to end a 14-game losing streak. Randy Moss kept the crowd fired up in a halftime ceremony to receive his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring.INJURY REPORTPackers: In addition to the carnage on offense, SS Kentrell Brice aggravated an ankle injury in the first quarter and was knocked out of action in the third quarter with a possible concussion. CB Kevin King and CB Bashaud Breeland were already inactive with injuries.Vikings: RT Brian O’Neill left in the third quarter for evaluation for a possible concussion. … CB Xavier Rhodes limped off with an apparent injury to his right hamstring in the fourth quarter.UP NEXTPackers: Host Arizona (2-9) next Sunday afternoon.Vikings: Play at New England (8-3) next Sunday afternooN.
