Month: October 2017

According to a Charlotte Observer report, Rodrigue asked Newton afterward whether he thought a woman couldn’t understand receiver routes.

“Newton said she wasn’t really seeing specific routes when watching the game, she was just seeing if somebody was open,” the Observer reported. “She argued that he didn’t know what she saw nor how hard she had studied football, and that maybe the two of them needed to have a deeper conversation.

“Newton said that maybe he should have said it was funny to hear ‘reporters’ talk about routes and that, if she actually did know about them, then she knew more than most reporters,” according to the Observer. “Then he gestured toward the locker room, still filled with her colleagues.”

Rodrigue, whom the Observer reported had introduced herself to Newton last October on her first day with the newspaper, asked him if he knew her name. Newton said he did not, according to the report.

“I mean, it’s the NFL. It’s any given Sunday for a reason,” said Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who had seven catches for 111 yards and a score. “All these teams are scheming everybody up. It’s a testament to this team for especially not only being 4-0, but the way we’ve won.”

Alex Smith threw for 293 yards with touchdowns on the ground and through the air, and his 37-yard strike to Albert Wilson on a broken play set up Butker’s go-ahead kick. Kareem Hunt added 101 yards on the ground for the rookie’s fourth straight 100-yard effort.

“Winning is more meaningful,” Hunt said with a smile. “I could have 50 yards as long as we win.”

Kirk Cousins had 220 yards passing and two touchdowns Cheap Jerseys Online Free Shipping for Washington, but his throw to the end zone with 50 Cheap Jerseys Paypal Payment seconds left was dropped by Josh Doctson and forced the Redskins to kick a field goal.

On Taylor’s second interception, it was second-and-8 from the Packers’ 42-yard line. Favre thought he had a blown coverage by corner Carlos Rogers. Instead, it was a trap. Taylor sprinted over for the interception with 4:32 remaining. After running 15 yards and about to be tackled, he lateraled to linebacker Rocky McIntosh, who lost four yards.

Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury last week against Arizona. This is Goodwin’s fourth diagnosed concussion in less than 14 months and his fifth since 2014. He has missed two games in that span, but he has also had a concussion after which he was ready to go the following week. Goodwin was limited on Wednesday, wearing a blue no-contact jersey, which means he has at least been cleared to participate. He still has to be cleared for contact, however. Coach Kyle Shanahan said the Niners will be cautious with Goodwin. “I think we handle that situation as delicate as you possibly can,” Shanahan said. “I think we all know how serious those things are, and I think whether you have one or whether you have a lot, we still handle them all as delicately as you could.” — Nick Wagoner

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr lit up the Jets with an 82 completion percentage in Week 2 with three touchdowns and no picks. All other quarterbacks who have played the Jets this season? Four touchdowns, four picks and a 53 Cheap Jerseys NFL Jerseys completion percentage. New York is already halfway to matching its interception total Cheap Jerseys MLB With Free Shipping from 2016.

The Dolphins have allowed opponents to complete 76 percent of their passes, the worst in the NFL. Miami is also one of four teams without a pick this season.

McIntosh: “He got an interception, and he messed around and lateraled to me. Then all the guys were like, ‘Hey, Rock, pass it to me, pass it to me’ I was like what are you doing, go block. He passed it back to me, and Sean was like, ‘Go, go, go, go, go.’ … The dude is capable of anything and can do anything different from anyone else. When he turned and lateraled, I was like, ‘What are you doing? I’m getting ready to block for you.'”

Left tackle Rees Odhiambo practiced Wednesday after making what coach Pete Carroll called a “very favorable turn” from the bruised sternum that led to his hospitalization Sunday night. But Odhiambo’s status for this week’s game is still uncertain, which means Seattle might have to go with either Matt Tobin or Isaiah Battle at left tackle. It’s a challenging situation, with the Seahawks facing a Rams team whose defensive line has given Seattle fits in recent seasons. Defensive end Cliff Avril (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game, and cornerback Jeremy Lane (groin) is in danger of missing it as well. Lane didn’t Cheap Hockey Jerseys For Sale practice Wednesday and won’t on Thursday, either, according to Carroll. — Brady Henderson

J.J. Watt doesn’t even have a sack this season, but it hasn’t mattered much for Houston thanks to rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson and a still-potent defense. They struggled to stop Tom Brady — who hasn’t? — but in all other games, they’ve allowed just one passing touchdown with four picks.

The Raiders are bending this season, but the defense has yet to really break. Oakland has held opponents to just three touchdowns on 12 red zone trips through four weeks, the lowest touchdown percentage allowed in the red zone so far Cheap Indiana Pacers Jerseys in 2017.

All right, Philadelphia Eagles. I’m officially interested.

Carson Wentz? Doug Pederson? Whoever the analytics guy is who tells Pederson when to go for it on fourth down? Color me intrigued. The Eagles’ victory on Sunday against the Chargers in Los Angeles has them in position for a potentially very interesting season, because it put a very important logistical checkmark in their ledger. If you believe — as I do — that this year’s NFC East race will come down to which teams handle the grueling travel schedules the best, then the Eagles winning in L.A. matters.

Glennon had a competent opener against the Falcons as the Bears fell just short. But otherwise, he has been rotten since, as he’s had twice as many turnovers (8) as touchdown passes (4). He got the overtime “win” at home against the Steelers last week while throwing for only 101 yards — because the Bears rushed for 220.

When the Bears watch the film, they’ll see what Romo is talking about. Glennon is big, stationary and an easy target for pressure. He has been sacked “only” eight times over four games, but he’s been forced into more mistakes. He can’t buy much extra time with his feet and offers zero rushing threat.

Chicago’s offense isn’t all that complicated, and Trubisky is better built to do more with less. Sure, Glennon has been hampered by the fact Cheap Girls Softball Jerseys that injuries to starting wide receivers Cameron Meredith and Kevin White have left him Cheap Football Jerseys stuck with a slot man, Kendall Wright, as the No. 1 target. Dynamic young backs Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen aren’t just the lifeblood of the offense — they are the offense.

Heck, while New York has started 2-2 with consecutive home wins over Miami and Jacksonville after getting blasted in Buffalo and The Black Hole, it has less work to do get a pick high enough to get him or Josh Rosen.

That’s thanks to the fight of ageless Josh McCown getting some things done offensively with Bilal Powell, Jermaine Kearse, Robby Anderson, Elijah McGuire and Austin Seferian-Jenkins as his top skill players. And don’t forget, coach Todd Bowles is getting inspired play from his remade defense, led by rookie safety Jamal Adams and Darrelle Revis upgrade Morris Claiborne.

The Jets have delayed their estimated time of departure from relevancy in 2017. They’ll probably step further away from the tank next week against the winless Browns.

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said Carr’s injury “could be as short as two weeks — it could be longer.” Del Rio added that Carr could be out as many as six weeks.

“He said he’s sorry,” Del Rio said of Carr. “Great kid. He’ll bounce back. I told him that the team will take care of business while he’s healing and just get healed up and when he can come back, he’ll come back.”

Carr was injured on a sack late in the third quarter of Oakland’s 16-10 loss at the Denver Broncos on Sunday and did not return to the Cheap Blue Jays Jerseys game.

After being twisted down awkwardly by Adam Gotsis, Carr grabbed at his lower right back and stayed prone on the ground. After several minutes, he Cheap Baseball Jerseys Kids was helped up and walked slowly off the field. After being examined in the blue pop-up tent on the Raiders’ sideline, he walked back to the Oakland locker room.

We know nothing (Jon Snow). Week 3 was the prime example of why this picks column, formerly known back in the day as the Primer, is “for entertainment purposes only.”

We took so many baths that we’ll be zestfully clean for rest of the 2017 NFL season. So let’s laugh, shake it off and get back on the donkey descending down into the depths. They also didn’t use to call his the fearless forecast for nothing.

But then there came the hopeful last straw, the inefficient mess in Green Bay — 21-of-33, 218 yards, TD, 2 INTS, 2 fumbles lost. His passer rating continued its steady, weekly decline from 86.8 to 67.5. That was an injury-riddled Packers’ defense, by the way, with major cornerback coverage deficiencies against which Glennon struggled. His downfield accuracy as a pure pocket passer has been pitiful.

Before Glennon’s complete meltdown, former Cowboys QB and current CBS game analyst Tony Romo laid out exactly why the Bears need to play Trubisky.

“I really believe they’re going to go to him sooner Cheap Atlanta Braves Jerseys than later,” Romo said. “I like Glennon, I just don’t know if this style fits him personally. They need a guy who can bootleg and move Cheap Authentic NBA Jerseys around.”

After the game, only one can wonder whether Glennon gave Romo anything left to like. Bears fans have seen enough, and they should hope Fox has, too. In his typical vague, coachspeak fashion, he said the team “will evaluate everything.”

“I’ve been in that place where I wanted something and couldn’t have it,” Kelley said, via ESPN. “So it felt good just to be in a position to spare two, three hundred dollars to help a kid out like it’s not going to affect me no type of way. Why not? I understand what he’s going through.

“I had moments where we were poor and moments like, we were never rich, but moments where I had a scooter and other kids didn’t have a scooter. But we had moments where all we had to drink was water. So I’ve been in both parts. It’s so easy to identify certain things with kids.”

It wasn’t until Kelley and Marshall posed for a picture with the boy and his grandmother that they realized football players had bought the gaming console.

“When we introduced ourselves they’re like, ‘Oh, Rob Kelley. I know you!’ But at first that’s what made it so good. He didn’t know us,” Kelley said.

Kelley said he didn’t want the picture posted on social media because he wasn’t Cheap Jerseys China doing this for attention — he was just trying to perform a good deed. The story was revealed only Cheap Jerseys Custom because another customer in the store saw what happened and posted on Facebook.

Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan has been suspended for two games by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers wide receiver Davante Adams in Chicago’s loss to Green Bay Thursday.

“Danny Trevathan of the Chicago Bears has been suspended without pay for two games for a violation of the safety-related playing rules in Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers,” the NFL statement read.

In addition to the Patriots, Chiefs and Steelers, the Green Bay Packers (6-1) and Atlanta Falcons have single-digit odds at most sportsbooks.

“You can fool yourself thinking that this team is pretty good because they beat this team, but then you find out that the team you thought was really good really stinks,” Ed Salmons, head football oddsmaker at the Westgate, said. “Who knows? The Chiefs could be the best team right now. Right now, looking at it, you’d have to say Pittsburgh and Kansas City are the two best teams in that conference.”

The Panthers’ upset of the Patriots, combined with the Los Angeles Rams’ win over the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Falcons, produced another winning Sunday for the sportsbooks.

“It was good, but not great,” CG Technology vice president of race Cheap Jerseys Epl and sports Jason Simbal said.

It would have been a better Sunday for CG Technology, but a savvy Cheap Jerseys From USA bettor placed a $2,000 two-team, money-line parlay on the Bills and Panthers. The ticket paid $44,000.
