New England Patriots of 2018 https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-chris-hogan-jersey-sale-1_17.html may be better than they've been in years It would be an overstatement to characterize a living, breathing — and ever-evolving —dynasty as lying in the weeds. But after flying under the radar while spending another September integrating new upgrades and waiting for a key piece of hardware to come online (New England is 7-5 in the first quarter of the season since 2016), it seems Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have officially completed the roll-out of Patriots version 18.0.This one could be spectacular.There's still no headphone jack or enough bandwidth to accommodate a suffocating defense, but the bells and whistles might just mean Brady will be toggling his most dynamic set of weapons since Patriots 7.0 went 18-0 in 2007 before that infamous Super Bowl XLII collapse. The current group won't be chasing perfection after getting whipped by the Jaguars and Lions last month, but it most definitely has a chance to pull New England even with Pittsburgh by capturing a sixth Lombardi Trophy.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: USA TODAY Sports' Week 5 NFL picks: Who wins Battle of Texas, NFC title game rematch?<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Seven questions for NFL Week 5: Will Drew Brees take Peyton Manning's career passing record?<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Player safety failure: NFL continues to disregard <h2>Lawrence Guy Authentic Jersey</h2> rules against using helmet as weapon<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Julian Edelman returns, Tom Brady gets milestone as Patriots cruise past ColtsWhy such optimism for a team that currently sits in seventh place overall in the AFC with a 3-2 record after Thursday's 38-24 defeat of the struggling Colts?Slot receiver extraordinaire Julian Edelman returned from his four-game PED suspension Thursday to play his first meaningful game since the Patriots shocked the Falcons in Super Bowl LI (a knee injury cost Edelman the 2017 season). He posted a modest seven catches for 57 yards — Belichick admitted Edelman didn't have a full offensive role against Indianapolis — but generally looked like the player Brady typically relies on to move the chains, despite one egregious drop in the first quarter that cost New England a first down and nice swath of real estate. (Did we mention it was Edelman's first game that counted in 606 days?) Thursday also marked the first time since Nov. 27, 2016, that Brady, Edelman, tight end Rob Gronkowski and running back James White shared the same field.“You can take us away from each other for 10 years and we’ll come back and be the same," said Gronkowski.Noted Brady: "The more great players you have out there, the better we’re going to move the ball and score points."First-round pick Sony Michel looks like the real deal. The running back missed the opener after getting his knee scoped in August, but he is quickly developing into a perfect complement to White.Michel has scored the past two weeks and posted 100 yards of total offense each time. Though he and White are both multi-faceted, it appears the former Georgia star will get the bulk of the carries, while White (team-high 10 receptions Thursday) will usually handle passing downs. They have the goods to be the best back duo north of New Orleans — which is key since Michel and White are currently the only tailbacks on the 53-man roster."Both of them did a great job," said Belichick. "We were dependent on them for quite a bit and they came through."<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Despite Rams' prolific start, Sean McVay won't let himself forget a few plays he deems 'horrendous'<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Richard Sherman on record-setting NFL offenses: 'This is what the league wanted'<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Andrew Luck can't beat New England Patriots by himselfA receiving corps that's been in constant flux since the Patriots dumped Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola following https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-devin-mccourty-jersey-sale-1_37.html their Super Bowl loss to the Eagles might finally have a winning combination — both because Edelman has returned and since it appears Josh "Flash" Gordon is now ready to contribute. (New England traded for the troubled Browns receiver Sept. 17, even though he continues to battle substance abuse demons, a reputation for immaturity and a balky hamstring.)But Gordon announced his presence Thursday, reeling in Brady's 500th career TD pass — Gordon was the 71st player to catch a TB12TD, another record — while being bracketed on a broken play."To catch any pass from Tom is amazing, let alone some history-making catch or pass," said Gordon, who led the NFL in receiving yards in 2013 but was suspended for most of the next four seasons. "Hopefully, he's got a lot more left in him — I'm pretty sure he does — so I'm looking forward to that."Brady has been lockering next to Gordon and spending extra time while helping to synthesize the freakishly gifted receiver into The Patriot Way.If Gordon can keep his personal life in order and absorb enough of the playbook, New England might finally have its best mismatch receiver since Randy Moss. Gordon can physically dominate downfield https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com and in the red zone, and his ability — in conjunction with Gronkowski working the seams, Edelman moving the sticks with his short and intermediate patterns, White tearing off big chunks via dumpoffs and designed routes and gadget guy Cordarrelle Patterson on call for exotic duties — could allow Brady to threaten every blade of grass like he never has.After months of scrutiny about supposedly strained relations among owner Robert Kraft, Belichick and Brady — the quarterback and Gronk (who was on the trade block) stayed away for most of the team's spring program — it appears normalcy has returned.New England has won two in a row after that disturbing 1-2 start, posting 38 points and more than 400 yards each time while dispatching the Colts and previously unbeaten Dolphins in Week 4. "There's no quarterback I'd rather have than Tom Brady," Belichick said Thursday, noting how remarkable it is to throw 500 TDs."He does a great job week-in and week-out, year-in and year-out, all of the situations. He does a great job."Now, as Belichick might say, we're on to Kansas City.There are still bugs to iron out of Patriots 18.0. Gordon must prove he's reliable. Gronkowski has 10 days to nurse a bum ankle as he tries to coax his battered body through its ninth NFL campaign. New left tackle Trent Brown has to continue proving a 6-8, 380-pounder can safeguard Brady's blind side — and Brown will see Khalil Mack in two weeks. A defense that failed the Patriots in Super Bowl LII needs to reassert itself.And it's time to start beating good teams after the Patriots opened with a group that has gone 9-12 collectively. Jacksonville appears to be the only opponent thus far built for a playoff run, and the Jags handled New England in Week 2.The Chiefs, currently 4-0 and sporting wunderkind quarterback Mahomes, roll into Foxborough for a Sunday Night Football date in Week 6 laden with playoff implications.But these Patriots now seem ready to handle all comers.***Follow Nate Davis on <h2>Markus Kuhn Authentic Jersey</h2> Twitter @ByNateDavisTre Jackson Jersey Montee Ball Jersey Customize Jersey Ted Karras Jersey Geneo Grissom Jersey Jordan Richards Jersey Jabaal Sheard Jersey Nike Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey On Sale Ryan Allen Jersey James White Jersey Cheap Jason Thompson Jersey Tom Brady White Elite Jersey https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com Dwayne Allen Jersey Markus Kuhn White Elite Jersey Markus Kuhn Jersey Cheap Logan Ryan Jersey Derek Rivers Jersey Nike Lawrence Guy Jersey On Sale
NFL playoff picture after Week 14: Latest on clinching scenarios 2. Minnesota Vikings (10-3): NFC North leader. Their winning streak was snapped at eight, preventing them from clinching the division and costing them the inside track to home-field advantage.3. Los Angeles Rams (9-4): NFC West leader. Lose next Sunday in Seattle, and the Seahawks replace L.A. atop division.4. New Orleans Saints (9-4): NFC South leader. They gave up ground to the Falcons and Panthers, but a season sweep of Carolina keeps them in first place ... for now.5. Carolina Panthers (9-4): Wild card No. 1. Huge win over Minnesota solidifies their position. However they may be facing Aaron Rodgers next Sunday as the Packers try to ride another late-season wave to January.6. Atlanta Falcons (8-5): Wild card No. 2. Thursday's <h2>LJ McCray Authentic Jersey</h2> win over the Saints, combined with last month's victory in Seattle, vaults Atlanta back into the mix. The Falcons will win the NFC South if they win out — and remember, they were 7-5 after 12 games a year ago.In the hunt: Seattle Seahawks (8-5), Dallas Cowboys (7-6), Detroit Lions (7-6), Green Bay Packers (7-6), Arizona Cardinals (6-7)x-division winnerAFC<br/>1. x-Pittsburgh Steelers (11-2): AFC North leader.

Now on to next week's epic matchup with New England.2. New England Patriots (10-3): AFC East leader. They <h2>Julius Peppers Authentic Jersey</h2> suffered a semi-regular stumble in Miami but will still be in position to get home-field advantage by prevailing in Heinz Field on Sunday.3. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4): AFC South leader. They passed a major litmus test by beating Seattle and also overtook the fading Titans for the division lead. But Jags will need two-game lead on Tennessee entering Week 17 if they don't want a winner-take-all scenario for AFC South title.4. Kansas City Chiefs (7-6): AFC West leader. Their defeat of the Raiders on Sunday was probably their best overall performance since September, allowing the Chiefs to retain a share of the division lead (they currently hold the head-to-head advantage over Los Angeles). However the scalding Chargers head to Kansas City on Saturday, and the winner will assume sole possession of first place.5. Tennessee Titans (8-5): Wild card No. 1. Talk about backing into the playoffs. LT Taylor Lewan, probably their best player, was hurt Sunday, and QB Marcus Mariota played poorly again as Titans relinquished AFC South lead.6. Buffalo Bills (7-6): Wild card No. 2. The strength of victory of tiebreaker currently puts them in the field ahead of the Ravens, though Baltimore's final three opponents have a combined record of 8-31.

Saquon Barkley contract signed: He's ready to deliver for the Giants Barkley is undaunted by the challenge of living up to expectations or dealing with the pressure that comes with playing under the intense spotlight of the Big Apple.He isn’t worried about meeting the standard set with the Giants by Tiki Barber and Brandon Jacobs and anyone else more than he is the one established by the man he sees in the mirror."Hearing that (about general manager Dave Gettleman's Hall of Fame qualifier for the No. 2 pick), you love that," Barkley said this spring. "That shows that this franchise believes in you and you've gotta believe in them. And that's a mindset I have for myself. Obviously, everyone in this draft will tell you that they want a gold jacket one day. But it's easier said than done. I'm aware of that. I'm <h2>Olivier Vernon Authentic Jersey</h2> strongly aware of that, and I know that I have to work my butt off every single day to get to where I want to go. It's not gonna happen in one day, it's gonna take baby steps and it's gonna take a long trip up that mountain, but every single day I'm willing to work."<br/><br/> "I know a lot of people try to set expectations for me,” he later added, “but no offense to you guys, I set my own expectations.”The Giants believe Barkley has the right make-up to succeed. He has joined a team that includes Manning, a two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback, and Odell Beckham Jr., whose celebrity beyond the NFL knows no bounds.Barkley and the rookies, along with quarterbacks Eli Manning, Davis Webb, Kyle Lauletta and Alex Tanney, reported for training camp with the Giants in East Rutherford on Sunday. The rest of the team will report https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-jason-pierre-paul-jersey-sale-1_50.html Wednesday, and Barkley will hit the field for the first time under contract Thursday.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: NFL coach Tony Sparano dies, was offensive line assistant with Vikings<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: 2018 NFL record projectionsBarkley's $31.2 million deal is the second-most guaranteed for a running back in NFL history behind Adrian Peterson, who inked a deal in 2011 that included $36 million guaranteed.The Giants have not had a running back post a 1,000-yard season since Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 1,015 in 2012. Enter Barkley, who brings with him a unique skill set as a runner and <h2>Jason Pierre-Paul Authentic Jersey</h2> receiver. Barkley has done everything expected of him, hitting every mark along the way throughout the spring. He'll be the go-to playmaker https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-saquon-barkley-jersey-sale-1_96.html in the backfield with an ability to put pressure on the defense as a receiver.The Giants believe adding the 6-0, 233-pound Barkley will make the entire offense better with his unique skill set. James Franklin, his head coach at Penn State, calls Barkley a "bigger, faster Marshall Faulk.""As Bill Parcells used to say, 'Let's not get his bust ready for Canton just yet,' " Giants co-owner and team president John Mara said of Barkley this spring. "He hasn't played a down, <h2>Eli Manning Authentic Jersey</h2> but we're very excited."Barkley is going to be compared to what Sam Darnold might one day become for the New York Jets, considering Darnold was chosen third overall; and even if he plays well, the expectations are through the roof. His success will also be linked to that of Manning, whether that's fair or not, with the story line of the Giants' passing on a first-round quarterback for Barkley serving as a compelling backdrop.Barkley will be a favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, but for those who have criticized his selection, that might not be enough to satisfy the hype.

NFL wary of increase in concussions in preseason practices The overall number of concussions sustained in practice, including the regular season, jumped to 56 from 32 a year earlier."This is an important aspect of the work https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-julian-stanford-jersey-sale-1_86.html we'll be doing between now and the (February) combine and not just with medical experts, but obviously how practices are run at the club level is something that's going to involve the coaches and general managers and others who are on site," Miller said."One of our obligations is to share this data ... take a look at the different drills that they're running, potentially, and inform them of where we see the highest level of injuries on particular drills across the league."Part of the reason for the NFL's concern is the sharp increase coming after two straight <h2>Robby Anderson Authentic Jersey</h2> years of declines. And in the preseason, there were almost as many injuries in practice (45) as there were in games (46), according to data gathered by IQVIA, a company hired by the NFL."We also have looked into that in terms of when in the preseason it is occurring and even to the level of what types of drills may be involved in producing that," said Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL's chief medical officer. "I think that's an obvious point of emphasis for us is to take that data and go back to the clubs on an https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-josh-mccown-jersey-sale-1_84.html individual basis."Sills said the league was disappointed about the overall increase in concussions to 281, also a five-year high for practices and games during the preseason and regular season. That number was 243 for the <h2>John Riggins Authentic Jersey</h2> 2016 season — a significant drop from 275 in 2015.The effort to reduce the total number will include the focus on the preseason injuries, conversations with the competition committee and work on protective equipment, Sills said."We take this as a challenge because we're not going <h2>Bilal Powell Authentic Jersey</h2> to be satisfied until we drive that number much lower," Sills said.The league said most of the concussions sustained by quarterbacks have come from the backs of helmets hitting the turf, so that will be one of the focal points for trying to improve equipment.Sills said the league was encouraged by an increase in the percentage of evaluations of concussions that are reported by players. Of the 483 evaluations, 26 percent were self-reported during the 2017 season compared to 19 percent the previous year.___Marcus Murphy Jersey Wayne Chrebet Jersey Anthony Johnson Jersey Nike Brandon Marshall Jersey On Sale Lorenzo Mauldin Jersey Mark Gastineau Jersey Curtis Martin Jersey Cheap Brandon Shell Jersey Dakota Dozier Jersey Corey Lemonier Jersey Connor Harris Jersey Nike Josh McCown Jersey On Sale Leonard Williams Jersey Cheap Leonard Williams White Elite Jersey Brian Winters Jersey Jalin Marshall Jersey Chris Harper Jersey Sam Darnold White Elite Jersey Frank Beltre Jersey
Alliance of American Football reveals gambling-focused strategy Alliance players on all eight teams will wear sensors that will allow the company's tech team to collect live, second-generation statistics that can immediately update in-game gambling odds. The in-game betting option comes as part of a three year deal that makes MGM Resorts the official sports betting sponsor and exclusive gaming partner. MGM, which notched a lesser sponsorship deal with the NBA for the upcoming season, becomes the first sportsbook to ever own exclusive in-game betting rights for any major sports organization. https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-ha-ha-clinton-dix-jersey-sale-1_42.html Because MGM is the <h2>Clay Matthews Authentic Jersey</h2> official licensee, it will host the gambling business on its app. The agreement with MGM comes in the wake of May's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively gives state legislatures the ability to legalize sports wagering at their own discretion. Charlie Ebersol, CEO and co-founder of the AAF, said in spite of the league's relationship with MGM and emphasis on betting, "we are not a gambling organization." Ebersol told AdAge: "I believe the value proposition for us is that because of the type of data we can create and the manner in https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-jaire-alexander-jersey-sale-1_46.html which we can capture it, we can provide the information faster to MGM and our end users than anyone's ever been able to deliver it before."Ebersol said in a news release that he expects the gambling component to "change the landscape of professional <h2>Eddie Lacy Authentic Jersey</h2> sports" and "revolutionize the sports wagering experience for fans in a way that's never been done before." Part of the revolutionary approach includes paying players, most of whom will be players that barely missed the cut of NFL teams last week or are transitioning from Division I college programs, based on the amount of their prop bets. That means a quarterback or running back with massive amounts of bets could make much more money than linemen, for instance. "In our system, there's really a limitless cap on what a player can make," Ebersol told ESPN. "Money from the amount of bets placed on them is one of the ways."The AAF is made up of eight yet-to-be-named teams in Orlando, Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, <h2>Brett Favre Authentic Jersey</h2> Salt Lake City, Phoenix, San Antonio and San Diego. The league, which will air on CBS in the spring, used last week's NFL cuts and summer combines to already sign over 300 players to those eight developing franchises.

Broncos have refurbished digs but best upgrade is on offense General manager John Elway signed quarterback Case Keenum to https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-lawrence-guy-jersey-sale-1_83.html a two-year, $36 million deal and acquired right tackle Jared Veldheer from Arizona.Then, he bolstered his backfield by drafting running back Royce Freeman out of Oregon and receivers Courtland Sutton of SMU and DaeSean Hamilton of Penn State.They are the pillars of a 10-member draft class that's led by first-rounder Bradley Chubb and has already drawn raves for its depth of talent and knowledge. All 10 spent four years in college honing their crafts, a reversal of last year's draft class that was loaded with projects and problems.The Broncos haven't bolstered their offense like this since the Peyton Manning era, and with Keenum, they're no longer bogged down by a QB competition like they were each of the last two summers — unless you count Paxton Lynch and Chad Kelly's battle for the backup job."We're a better football team," Elway said Friday on the eve of training camp. "We have some better depth. I think Case is a big part of that. ... Now, we have to all come together. It's about getting continuity on the offensive line as well as the young wide receivers getting up to speed. As well as the young running back."So, offensively, I'm excited about it, especially with Case" leading the way.So is coach Vance Joseph."I think it's huge to have a starting quarterback in place," Joseph said. "In at league that's built for parity, from the top to the bottom of the roster every team's got talent. But the one position that makes <h2>Markus Kuhn Authentic Jersey</h2> a huge difference is quarterback. And we do have one in place. So, that's exciting for our team."No more splitting snaps. No more getting used to two different cadences or throwing styles.And no more wondering."It's given us clarity for our football team," Joseph said. "We're not guessing who the quarterback's going to be. We're not guessing who the leader's going to be."In Sutton and Hamilton, the Broncos finally have receivers who can <h2>Jimmy Garoppolo Authentic Jersey</h2> not only take pressure off Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders but also apply some pressure to the veteran starters who were smothered by D-backs last season."Adding those two young guys, they're going to help us," Joseph said. "In this league it's about matchups, it's about getting 1-on-1s. When you have two guys and you have no tight end threat, not halfback threat, the defense can easily bracket those two guys."When you have three and you have <h2>Julian Edelman Authentic Jersey</h2> a guy like Jake Butt in the slot, it's going to be hard for teams to do that."Butt missed his rookie season while recovering from ACL surgery, which caused him to slip into the fifth round in the 2017 NFL draft. But the Broncos believe that if he can stay healthy, his presence is like adding a first-round talent to the offense.The Broncos jettisoned veteran C.J. Anderson in the offseason in a cost-cutting move, leaving a group of running backs long on promise but short on experience, including rookies Freeman, David Williams and Philip Lindsay along with second-year pro De'Angelo Henderson and third-year pro Devontae Booker."It's a young group, but I like that," Joseph said. "From a halfback perspective, you want guys who are young because https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-jimmy-garoppolo-jersey-sale-1_64.html that means they are healthy. Healthy. Willing. Open-minded."Notes: Joseph said it's up to WR Carlos Henderson, who failed to report to camp, whether he has a future in Denver: "He's having some family problems right now and it's strictly on Carlos whether he wants to continue to play football." ... Joseph said LG Ron Leary (knee) and RT Veldheer (foot) will both be eased into the lineup. The only player on PUP will be WR Jordan Taylor, still recovering from hip surgeries.___For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___LeShun Daniels Jr. Jersey Matt Slater Jersey D.J.

Le'Veon Bell trade? 7 NFL teams that might risk deal for Steelers star Bell, who has yet to sign his $14.54 million franchise tag (he's already forfeited more than $2.5 <h2>Christian McCaffrey Authentic Jersey</h2> million in game checks by failing to report), isn't eligible to sign a long-term contract until after the season, so his situation is not similar, for example, to Khalil Mack's over the summer. Likewise, the Steelers are in no position to command high draft picks given there'd be little assurance Bell would be nothing but a rental. <strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: 32 things we learned from Week 3 of the 2018 NFL season<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Todd Gurley on banged-up Rams playing Thursday: Probably 'dumbest thing ever'Though he could re-up early in 2019 with any team that acquires him — barring the prohibitive use of a third franchise tag — it's obvious Bell wants to assess his market worth. It's also clear he's not looking to put too many miles on the odometer, seeking to preserve his value, which makes exporting him even more problematic for Pittsburgh.Bell must sign his tag by Nov. 13, the Tuesday following Week 10, to accrue a season toward free agency, so that essentially becomes his reporting deadline. The trade deadline is Oct. 30. Given those parameters — and assuming the Todd Gurleys and Alvin Kamaras of the world don't suffer major injuries to alter the calculus — are there any https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-devin-funchess-jersey-sale-1_38.html feasible suitors for Bell?These may be a few:Jets: Projected to have more than $100 million in the 2019 free agent war chest, it seems likely they'll at least wade into the Bell Sweepstakes on some level. The Jets are the lone team of four in the New York/Los Angeles markets that could use a bellcow back and playing in that kind of media center will surely appeal to an aspiring rap star. Jets GM Mike Maccagnan isn't afraid of spending or taking a big swing and might just appreciate having that exclusive negotiating window with Bell following the season ... depending on the bounty it would cost to bring him in, of course.Patriots: A team that likes to stockpile draft picks also knows how to bundle them for fliers on talents like Josh Gordon ... and maybe Bell? The Steelers would https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-torrey-smith-jersey-sale-1_98.html have to swallow hard before bargaining with the AFC's pre-eminent power, a move that would likely cause civic backlash in Pittsburgh. But New England might be willing to pay the most given its resources and Tom Brady's narrowing window, not to mention the fact that a stagnant offense is in dire need of a catalyst in both the running and passing games. One significant impediment: The Pats would have to create significant cap <h2>Cam Newton Authentic Jersey</h2> space to absorb the remainder of Bell's tag, though that's depreciating weekly.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Josh Gordon must adapt to the Patriot Way to make pairing with Bill Belichick work<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Detroit Lions' upset of New England Patriots, offer glimmer of hope for 2018 seasonDolphins: Noticing an AFC East theme? Miami (3-0) is alone in first place but only got 15 combined rushing yards from Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore on Sunday. Bell is a far more versatile weapon than departed Jarvis Landry ever was, yet could replicate his presence from the slot with Gore and Drake around to handle more of the inside runs. One thing's for sure: Bell loves South Florida and might just want to stick around long term.Colts: Similar to the Jets, they've got nine-figure cap space in 2019 and could benefit by having extra time next winter to try to lock Bell down before the market opens. More immediately, Indy has a limited offense — particularly at tailback — and, evidently, a quarterback who can't throw very far. Bell might be a real help given the Colts defense <h2>Torrey Smith Authentic Jersey</h2> could keep them around in what's shaping up as a potentially tight AFC South race.Eagles: Basically the NFC version of New England — little cap space but in serious need of assistance with so many play makers banged up. GM Howie Roseman isn't afraid to gamble and has plenty of equity to make this kind of play for a team that's probably going to start losing key contributors in 2019.Packers: If you saw Aaron Rodgers on Sunday, you know he's still not right — struggling to get sufficient power behind his throws as he deals with that gimpy plant leg. Might help to add a guy who can revitalize a sputtering ground game while also giving Rodgers another short-area escape valve while his knee heals.Buccaneers: They had the league's top-ranked offense after two weeks despite a virtually non-existent run game. Imagine integrating Bell into this group to not only further diversify a high-octane attack but also show struggling rookie Ronald Jones what an effective NFL back looks like between the lines.***Follow Nate Davis on Twitter @ByNateDavisTravell Dixon Jersey Stephen Hill Jersey Cam Newton White Elite Jersey Jonathan Stewart Jersey Jalen Simmons Jersey Stephen Curry Jersey Mike Tolbert Jersey Cheap LJ McCray Jersey Cheap Mike Remmers Jersey Cheap Devin Funchess Jersey Cheap Tyler Larsen Jersey Larry Webster Jersey Devonte Johnson Jersey Blaine Clausell Jersey Darrel Young Jersey Greg Olsen White Elite Jersey Shaq Thompson Jersey Teddy Williams Jersey Dan France Jersey
Joshua Perry, ex-NFL LB, has alternative to burning Nike gear "At the same time, if you've never been a black person or lived in a black person's shoes, it can feel disrespectful for someone to say you don't have it that bad." However, the former standout linebacker at Ohio State doesn't comprehend how anyone on any side would burn good shoes — as thousands did in protest earlier this week in response to Nike making Kaepernick the face of its latest ad campaign. In response to the Kaepernick ad, President Donald Trump publicly bashed Nike for sending a "terrible message." Kaepernick was the first athlete to kneel during the anthem in 2016."This is an emotional topic, and there are so many points and layers," Perry said. "My question for someone burning Nike (merchandise) is, 'What's your cause to protest? Are you thinking it through? What are you achieving?'"Because it's not just Nike. Puma's represented by Jay-Z, who has criticized Trump. Under Armour has Steph Curry, who said he wouldn't go to the White House. Nike owns Converse, so burn your Chuck Taylors, too. It's pick-your-poison on who to be mad at."Perry retired in July, citing concussion concerns, <h2>Odell Beckham Jr Authentic Jersey</h2> after https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-saquon-barkley-jersey-sale-1_96.html two seasons in the NFL. He was drafted by the Chargers in the fourth round of the 2016 draft and was on the Colts' practice squad in 2017 before being waived in May.He tweeted earlier this week and asked disgruntled Nike fans to donate their merchandise, providing an address and writing that he would "find an appreciative home for your stuff." Perry, who started the Joshua Perry Family Foundation in March, said many veterans in the homeless community could use shoes or apparel."Some veterans ... they might be in genuine need for some of the items people https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-brandon-marshall-jersey-sale-1_12.html are destroying," he said. His non-profit foundation serves underprivileged children but also helps the veteran community.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">MORE: Donald Trump: 'What was Nike thinking?'<strong https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-eli-manning-jersey-sale-1_38.html style="margin-right:3px;">MORE: Twitter reacts to NBC airing Nike's Colin Kaepernick commercial"When I first <h2>Jason Pierre-Paul Authentic Jersey</h2> saw the burning, to be honest I was a little angry," Perry added. "Because when I went to college, I was in Costa Rica for Soles4Souls, and we gave out shoes to kids there.

AP: Dolphins anthem punishment includes suspensions Miami's anthem policy comes after the NFL decided in May that teams would be fined if players didn't stand during "The Star-Spangled Banner" while on the field. The league left it up to teams on how to punish players. None of the team policies have been made public.The NFL rule forbids players from sitting or taking a knee if they are on the field or sidelines during the national anthem, but allows them to stay in the locker room if they wish. The new league rules were challenged this month in a grievance by the players union.The NFL declined to comment. Team officials had no immediate comment."Players who are on the field during the Anthem performance must stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem," says the 16th and final bullet point in the list of conduct considered detrimental, below riding motorcycles during the season and disparaging teammates, coaches or officials including NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.The NFLPA said earlier this month that the NFL policy, which the league imposed without consultation with the players union, is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement and <h2>Darrelle Revis Authentic Jersey</h2> infringes on player rights. The filing will be heard by an independent arbitrator, an NFLPA spokesman said.When the league announced the policy, Goodell called it a compromise aimed at putting the focus back on football after a tumultuous year in which television ratings dipped nearly 10 percent.The union said when it filed the grievance that it proposed having its executive committee talk to the NFL instead of litigating. The union said the NFL agreed to those discussions.In 2016, then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality, social injustice and racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem and the demonstration spread to other players and teams. It became one of the most controversial and sensitive https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-julian-stanford-jersey-sale-1_86.html issues in sports. Critics led by President Donald Trump called the players unpatriotic and even said NFL owners should fire any player who refused to stand during the anthem. Some players countered that their actions were being misconstrued and that they are seeking social change rather than protesting the anthem itself.Trump's criticism led more than https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-geno-smith-jersey-sale-1_63.html 200 players to protest during one weekend, and some kept it up throughout the season.The NFL started requiring players to be on the field for the anthem in 2009."We want people to be respectful of the national anthem. We want people to stand," Goodell said at the May meetings, when he dismissed concerns about the lack of union involvement by contending the league met with countless players over the past year."We've been very sensitive on making sure that we give players choices," the commissioner added, "but we do believe that moment is an important moment https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-leonard-williams-jersey-sale-1_96.html and one that we are going to focus on."The league and a coalition of players have been working in tandem to support player initiatives for a variety of social issues. The NFL is committing $90 million over the next seven years to social justice causes in a three-segment plan that involves league players.Kaepernick didn't play at all last season and still hasn't been picked up by another team. He threw 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions in his final season in 2016.

Redskins off to best start since 2008; Giants 1-7 again The Redskins (5-2) are winning these days. They won their third in a row and kept their 1½-game lead in the NFC East with a 20-13 win over the hapless Giants, who are 1-7 for the second consecutive season."We feel good, but, we can't get too excited," said Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 149 yards and scored two touchdowns, one on a 64-yard run and the other on a 7-yard reception. "We know <h2>Davante Adams Authentic Jersey</h2> there's a lot we need to work on, and that we can improve on. So, we'll take this win for what it is, and get ready for this next game."Washington, who got two interceptions by D.J. Swearinger, returns home to face Atlanta on Sunday. The Giants have a bye but their future may change in the next two days.The NFL trading deadline is Tuesday. New York dealt cornerback Eli Apple and defensive tackle Damon Harrison last week. There could be more moves with cornerback Janoris Jenkins, linebacker Olivier Vernon and probably anybody else who will bring assets to help rebuild a team that has four wins in 24 games.Quarterback Eli Manning, who was sacked seven times, indicated he wants to stay and won't waive his no-trade clause."Everyone wants to win," said Manning, who threw for 316 yards. "No one likes this feeling after a game. That is what you are fighting for. You prepare to feel good about the work that goes in. Guys are working hard, practicing hard and doing all of the right things."They just aren't winning.RUN DEFENSEThe key to the Redskins success has been their defense, particularly against the run. Washington has held opponents under 100 yards in four straight games and five of seven. A week after limiting Ezekiel Elliott of Dallas to 34 yards, rookie Saquon Barkley of the Giants was held to 38 on 13 carries, with a long of 9 yards.Redskins linebacker Zach Brown said he was yappy with Barkley, the No. 2 pick in the draft."Come here rook," Brown recalled. "We want to introduce you to this game real quick. We don't care what round you are. You can be All Pro. We don't care. We just emphasis the run. You are not running the ball."PETERSON-BARKLEYThe first meeting of Peterson and Saquon Barkley was clearly won by the veteran. The 33-year-old gained a season-high 149 yards on 26 carries, capped by https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-randall-cobb-jersey-sale-1_98.html a late 64-yard touchdown that iced the game. He also caught his first TD pass with Washington. He passed Tony Dorsett for No. 9 in league history and now has 12,863 yards. He is the fourth player in the NFL with at least 140 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in a single game at age 33 or older, joining John Henry Johnson (1964), John Riggins (1984) and De Angelo Williams (2016). Barkley, the second pick overall in the draft, gained 38 yards rushing on 13 carries and caught nine https://www.rodgersfanstore.com passes for 73 yards.MIFFED SWEARINGERSwearinger was angry because Pro Football Focus listed him as their top safety and didn't post his picture. He took it out on the Giants."This was the first week they didn't put the number one's picture up," Swearinger said. "I feel like that was disrespect so I tweeted them and said make sure they watch this game today, because I wanted to show them that I am the best safety in this game and I'm going to keep doing that every game, week in and week out, so they just got to get mad at me."SACK CITYThe Giants <h2>Clay Matthews Authentic Jersey</h2> offensive line https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-davante-adams-jersey-sale-1_25.html has struggled all season, but this was their worst effort. They allowed Manning to be sacked a season-high seven times. He now has been sacked 31 times this season. "I didn't know it was that many," center Spencer Pulley said. "That's ridiculous. That's something we can't allow, at all."Manning said each sack had its own story. Some were coverage sacks. Some were linemen getting beat. Some were him not getting the ball out fast enough."I think we've got to get the run game going," tackle Nate Solder said. "There's some other things we need to work at. If we could get that going, that would solve some other problems."BECKHAM PRODUCINGOdell Beckham, Jr. had eight receptions for 136 yards. He caught eight passes for 143 yards last week in Atlanta. This is the first time he's had at least eight receptions in each of two consecutive games since Nov. 1-8, 2015, when he had eight and then nine at New Orleans and Tampa Bay. These are his first consecutive 100-yard games since he had six in a row in 2015.___For more NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/NFL and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Nike Reggie White Jersey On Sale Martellus Bennett Jersey Don Barclay Jersey https://www.rodgersfanstore.com Brett Hundley Jersey Geronimo Allison Jersey Clay Matthews White Elite Jersey Reggie White Jersey Cheap Paul Hornung Jersey Joe Callahan Jersey Dean Lowry Jersey Malachi Dupre Jersey Jimmy Graham White Elite Jersey Devante Mays Jersey Aaron Taylor Jersey Lance Kendricks Jersey T.J.

Top draft pick Hayden Hurst finds home at TE with Ravens "It wasn't exactly the easiest three years of my life. But I learned a lot about myself," Hurst said.He then played football at South Carolina, lining up as a wide receiver in 2015 before moving to tight end. In 38 games with the Gamecocks, Hurst scored four touchdowns — one of them on a 2-yard run.Still, Hurst was impressive enough to be picked 25th overall by the Ravens in the 2018 NFL draft. Just 39 minutes into his first game https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-markus-kuhn-jersey-sale-1_91.html last Thursday night, the 6-foot-4, 245-pound rookie caught a touchdown pass to help Baltimore beat Chicago 17-16 in the Hall of Fame Game."It's pretty exciting," Hurst said https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-julian-edelman-jersey-sale-1_74.html after Saturday's practice. "I'm a big body guy, and I like to be utilized in the red zone. I'm a threat there. At South Carolina, I wasn't used a whole lot in the red zone. Nut here I think they're going to take advantage of it. So it should be a fun career."Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has long relied on his tight end for big plays and touchdowns. From Todd Heap to Dennis Pitta to Benjamin Watson, https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-tom-brady-jersey-sale-1_120.html the man in the middle of the field has been a vital component of the Baltimore offense.Hurst could very well be the newest addition to that impressive list."Joe throws to the tight ends a lot. He has a lot of faith in that position," Hurst noted. "When things kind of break down, <h2>Markus Kuhn Authentic Jersey</h2> he tries to find us. It puts more emphasis on my position."Flacco didn't take a snap in Baltimore's preseason opener, yet both Baltimore touchdowns were scored by tight ends. Hurst's 8-yard TD came on a pass from Lamar Jackson, a former Heisman Trophy winner who was after Hurst (32nd overall) but has received far more publicity and acclaim."The quarterback gets all the attention. That's how this league works," Hurst said. "It doesn't matter to me."Baltimore lists six tight ends on the roster, so the 24-year-old Hurst is going to have to earn playing time. Though he admits he needs to know the playbook better, Hurst has already made a positive impression."It was good to see Hayden play well in the first game. That's the first test," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "The next test is to come back and have a good week of practice and take it into the next game."Toward that end, Hurst made a sensational grab between three defenders Saturday, drawing a collective cheer from the fans in attendance.Not bad for a former baseball player."I'm glad I experienced it," Hurst <h2>Julian Edelman Authentic Jersey</h2> says of his abbreviated baseball career. "It kind of hardened me, made me the football player that I am today. That's why I play fast and physical, because I don't want anything to be taken away from me like I kind of had with baseball."In other news, the Ravens activated six-time Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda from the physically unable to perform list Saturday. Yanda had offseason shoulder surgery and will slowly be worked back into a practice routine."Very encouraging," Harbaugh said. "This was the target date, so he's right now schedule."___Stephen Gostkowski Jersey James White White Elite Jersey Jonathan Freeny Jersey Kyle Van Noy Jersey LeShun Daniels Jr. Jersey Damarius Travis Jersey Markus Kuhn White Elite Jersey Malcom Brown Jersey Chris Hogan Jersey Cheap Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey Cheap Tom Brady White Elite Jersey Corey Vereen Jersey Mike Gillislee Jersey Terrance Knighton Jersey Lawrence Guy Jersey Cheap Nate Ebner Jersey Derek Rivers Jersey Jordan Richards Jersey Jimmy Garoppolo White Elite Jersey
Packers training camp questions: Aaron Rodgers' return 1 positive sign It's been a roller coaster nine months for the face of the franchise.The star quarterback has https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-devin-funchess-jersey-sale-1_38.html long been over the broken collarbone he suffered last October, telling USA TODAY Sports in February that he was back playing golf before coasting through the spring without any apparent setbacks. But unlike 2013, his brief, late-season comeback couldn't salvage Green Bay's playoff hopes. That preceded an eventful offseason that saw the departure of longtime GM Ted Thompson and, later, the release of Rodgers' favorite receiver and good friend, Jordy Nelson — much to the quarterback's consternation, according to a report from Yahoo!<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: 2018 NFL training camp previews, questions for all 32 teams<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Preview of 2018 NFL supplemental draft: Western Michigan CB Sam Beal among legitimate prospects<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Ranking NFL backup QBs by team: Who has best contingency plan?However a very positive turn for Rodgers seems imminent, with the Packers expected to finalize a deal very soon that will almost surely vault the two-time MVP past Atlanta's Matt Ryan — he recently signed an extension that will average $30 million annually — as the NFL's highest-paid player. Should be a nice salve for any https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-lj-mccray-jersey-sale-1_73.html hurt feelings Rodgers, 34, might otherwise carry into his 14th training camp in Wisconsin.How will the offense look different?The return of Rodgers and loss of Nelson aren't the only major changes to an attack that sputtered to 26th overall last year with inexperienced Brett Hundley at the controls for the balance of the season. Joe Philbin, who was previously Green Bay's offensive coordinator for five seasons (including the 2010 Super Bowl team and the 2011 edition that went 15-1 in the regular season), has reclaimed that role while resuming a strong relationship with Rodgers. Tight end Jimmy Graham, a supreme red zone threat, came aboard in free agency and should truly feast in the end zone with No. 12 throwing to him.However Nelson's departure leaves the passing game without a bona fide deep threat who can regularly capitalize on Rodgers' whip of an arm. Running back Aaron Jones' two-game suspension doesn't help, either, but Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams return as part of the committee head coach Mike McCarthy plans to deploy. https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-julius-peppers-jersey-sale-1_63.html Still, as good as balance sounds, this offense tends to run through Rodgers, who's only been supported by a top-10 ground game once since he became the starter in 2008. Expect him to wing it, even if he can't go truly vertical as much as he might like.How will the defense look different?For all the focus on Rodgers and Co., the Green Bay defense could be the difference in 2018. Coordinator Dom Capers was finally fired after the 2017 season, the seventh in a row where his group failed to crack the top 10. In fact, after producing top-five units in his first two years in Green Bay, Capers' crew, on average, <h2>Cam Newton Authentic Jersey</h2> had ranked 20th since 2011.Enter Mike Pettine, who favors a far more aggressive style — Pro https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-christian-mccaffrey-jersey-sale-1_20.html Bowl lineman Mike Daniels described it as "controlled fury" — that's already resonating with players. "The hounds are loose," Daniels told NFL Network last month. "Everybody go and ruin everything in front of you."A lot of opponents could find their Sundays ruined by Pettine's scheme and a lineup improved by the arrival of former Jets Pro Bowl defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson as well as corners Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson, new general manager Brian Gutekunst's first two draft picks. ***Follow Nate Davis on Twitter @ByNateDavisNike Greg Olsen Jersey On Sale Jonathan Stewart Jersey Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey Captain Munnerlyn Jersey Gabriel Mass Jersey Daryl Worley Jersey Ben Boulware Jersey Fred Ross Jersey Christian McCaffrey White Elite Jersey Ben Jacobs Jersey Andrew Norwell Jersey Daeshon Hall Jersey Nike Julius Peppers Jersey On Sale Cam Newton Jersey Cheap Zach Moore Jersey Trai Turner Jersey Jeff Richards Jersey Chris Manhertz Jersey Kevin Norwood Jersey
Broncos cut Chad Kelly a day after trespassing arrest General manager John Elway huddled with coach Vance Joseph and team President Joe Ellis and "we agreed that releasing Chad was the <h2>Brandon Marshall Authentic Jersey</h2> right thing to do," Elway said."Even though Chad's no longer part of our team, we've offered to help him however we can and are supportive of him in every possible way," Elway added.Joseph said after practice Wednesday that following many hours of meetings with Kelly and conversations with one another, the trio "thought it was the best thing for the Broncos — and for Chad" to waive him."As a friend, man, I'm hurting for him," starting quarterback Case Keenum said."I'm rooting for him so much," said new backup quarterback Kevin Hogan.Joseph insisted the drama won't affect the Broncos (3-4) on Sunday at Kansas City (6-1)."We have a great locker room. We have a close-knit football team and their focus is the Chiefs," Joseph said. "They all feel bad for Chad. They will support Chad as their former teammate. But we have one focus and that's the Chiefs on Sunday morning."Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. termed it a "season-changing game" and said, "if you're not focusing on that, all of this other (nonsense) that's going on, you're missing the big point of this game. This is a big game to change our season and get us back rolling."Before a court appearance Wednesday, Kelly drove up to team headquarters in a white SUV and sprinted in and out https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-jason-pierre-paul-jersey-sale-1_50.html of the building without stopping to answer questions. He also declined to comment outside court shortly before the Broncos announced his dismissal.He stood silently next to his lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, during his appearance at Arapahoe County District Court, where his next appearance was scheduled for Nov. 8. Steinberg declined to comment on his way out of the courtroom and again when reached later by the AP.Kelly attended an annual Halloween costume party hosted by Von Miller in suburban Englewood on Monday night. It was after that party that Kelly found himself in trouble.According to court records, a couple reported that a stranger entered their Englewood home after 1 a.m. Tuesday, sat on their couch and was "mumbling incoherently." Police say they found the 24-year-old Kelly afterward parked nearby. The man identified Kelly as the intruder and provided surveillance video to police.Police and court records do not address Kelly's physical state at the time, and there is no mention of testing for alcohol or substance use. Police said officers made the arrest "without incident."Kelly was released from jail Tuesday on $2,500 bond.Social media clips from the Halloween party put two https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/authentic-janoris-jenkins-jersey-sale-1_48.html other Broncos under scrutiny: Receiver Emmanuel Sanders dressed up as the Tyrone Biggums character from "Chappelle's Show" and put some flour on his face to mimic the cocaine the character was famous for, and linebacker Brandon Marshall was shown holding up a bag of flour to impersonate '80s R&B star Bobby Brown.Joseph grew irritated when answering a <h2>Olivier Vernon Authentic Jersey</h2> question about that party, which he called "a private, team function.""It was a party. You know, players have parties. So, I don't have an opinion about that. It was organized and it was safe. It was a team function," Joseph said. "Our guys have dinner every Wednesday and Thursday night and no one cares about that. OK, so again, our focus is on the Chiefs, and that's it. Not a Halloween party. Are we kidding? It's nonsense. It is."Kelly, who earned the nickname "Swag" in college and burnished it with terrific performances in the preseason, ended up playing just one snap for the Broncos, a kneel-down just before halftime against the Rams on Oct. 14 while Keenum was being evaluated for a concussion."He's worked very hard to better himself as a man," <h2>Eli Manning Authentic Jersey</h2> Harris said. "So, it's unfortunate to see him have that downfall. But I think he can get back right and he'll have another opportunity in the league."If he signs elsewhere, Kelly could still face a suspension from the NFL, which said Tuesday that it is reviewing the matter.Elway chose Kelly with the final pick of the 2017 NFL draft after fellow Hall of Famer Jim Kelly personally vouched for his nephew, whose college career at Clemson, East Mississippi Community College and Ole Miss was marred by discipline problems and legal troubles.Chad Kelly missed his rookie season while recovering from knee and wrist injuries, then beat out former first-round draft pick Paxton Lynch last summer to serve as Keenum's backup.That job now belongs to Hogan, a third-year pro acquired off waivers from Washington last month who was taken aback by Kelly's dismissal."He was a great teammate in this locker room," Hogan said, "and I know all the guys support him and hope all the best goes his way."___More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/tag/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Saquon Barkley White Elite Jersey Adam Gettis Jersey Ishaq Williams Jersey Chris Snee Jersey Lawrence Taylor Jersey Corbin Bryant Jersey Jay Bromley Jersey Jason Pierre-Paul White Elite Jersey Josh Johnson Jersey Ereck Flowers Jersey Geno Smith Jersey Nike Olivier Vernon Jersey On Sale Marshall Newhouse Jersey Wayne Gallman Jersey Josh Brown Jersey Phil McConkey Jersey Bobby Hart Jersey Curtis Grant Jersey Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Jersey
Ravens remain confident in kicker Justin Tucker after miss Playing without two starting offensive linemen and with standout cornerback Marlon Humphrey watching from the sideline on Sunday, the Ravens limited Drew Brees to 212 yards passing and scored the potential game-tying touchdown with 24 seconds left by virtue of a six-play, 81-yard drive engineered deftly by quarterback Joe Flacco.Then, with overtime looming, Justin Tucker's seemingly automatic conversion sailed to the right . He was https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com previously <h2>Geno Smith Authentic Jersey</h2> for <h2>Geno Smith Authentic Jersey</h2> since turning pro in 2012.The 24-23 defeat dropped Baltimore (4-3) out of a first-place tie in the AFC North with a matchup at Carolina upcoming Sunday."Our guys played very well," Harbaugh said Monday. "Many of the things that we learned in this last game, we can apply to the rest of the season. And we're going to try to do that and make the game a positive in that sense."At kickoff, the wind was blowing at 15 mph. Tucker didn't use that as an excuse, though that might have been a factor in his unexpected misfire."The wind was definitely part of it," Harbaugh insisted. "But at the end of the day, it's a missed kick."Tucker couldn't deny that."I feel like I cost us the game," he said Sunday night. "Every single one of my teammates thus far has told me the https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-john-riggins-jersey-sale-1_78.html opposite, and no one play wins or loses a game. But that's a tough thing to grapple with when you're the guy in that situation at the end of the game."Harbaugh considered for a moment going for a 2-point conversion, but dismissed the notion because the plan all along was to kick the ball in that situation."The numbers say to put it in overtime. That's what the analytics say. It's a clear choice," Harbaugh said. "We have a Saturday morning meeting where we go through all those factors, and we had decided we would put it in overtime if it came to that."But you know, I had thoughts about going for 2. I was asked that, I thought about it. Your gut sometimes talks to you and you make a decision at the end based on that. At the end, I <h2>Robby Anderson Authentic Jersey</h2> decided to go with what we talked about doing."One reason the Ravens are tough in overtime is because Tucker is the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history and is 36 for 50 over his career from at least 50 yards out.Give Baltimore credit for getting in position to tie the game in the final minute, in part because the offensive line was thinned by injuries to Alex Lewis and James Hurst. Rookies Bradley Bozeman and Orlando Brown Jr. saw extensive action, and through it all Flacco was sacked only once."I thought they acquitted themselves very well," Harbaugh said of Bozeman and Brown. "Both of them will learn from it. I think they'll get a lot better because of the game experience they had and the speed of the game and all that. It was a positive in that sense."A victory would have given the Ravens sole possession of first place in the division. But who's to say they would have won in overtime?"It's one of these games that could've went either way," Flacco said. "There's no sense in putting your head down and crying about stuff like this. You just <h2>Geno Smith Authentic Jersey</h2> have to move on."The Ravens don't intend to let the loss define their season."We're not feeling https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-jamal-adams-jersey-sale-1_67.html sorry for ourselves. We fell one point short," said linebacker Terrell Suggs, who had the team's lone sack of Brees. "We've got the best kicker in ball, so we're not going to worry about that. We go back to the drawing board, get over this one quick, learn from your mistakes and get ready for Carolina."If that game comes down to a kick from Tucker in the closing seconds, there is a good chance he won't be thinking about his miss against the Saints."Justin's the best in the world at what he does, and he's the most confident person that I know," Flacco said. "It's not going to be an issue."___Shamarko Thomas Jersey Lorenzo Mauldin Jersey Nike John Riggins Jersey On Sale Wesley Walker Jersey Javarius Leamon Jersey Doug Middleton Jersey Derrick Jones Jersey Darryl Roberts Jersey Morris Claiborne Jersey LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey Jaiquawn Jarrett Jersey Freddie Bishop Jersey Bruce Carter Jersey Juston Burris Jersey Austin Seferian-Jenkins Jersey Geno Smith White Elite Jersey Julian Stanford Jersey Cheap Breno Giacomini Jersey Chad Hansen Jersey
Jets' Christopher Johnson dishes on Darnold, expectations Darnold threw an interception on his first pass that was returned for a touchdown."I looked through the glass wall of the elevator, and I saw a replay of the pick," Johnson recalled Wednesday in his first formal chat with reporters since last season ended. "My heart sank, like every Jets fan's heart sank at that point."Johnson, running the team while brother Woody is serving as the U.S. ambassador to the U.K., also added that his "heart stopped" but did not get down on the 21-year-old Darnold. He also knew the youngster would bounce right back."One of the things we've seen from <h2>Aaron Rodgers Authentic Jersey</h2> Sam in college, in the springtime and in training camp is that he has an amazing ability to put adversity behind him," Johnson said. "When something goes wrong, he quickly pivots to what comes next. I had great faith in https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-jordy-nelson-jersey-sale-1_61.html him even after that pick-6."I thought, 'OK, he's been punched in the face. Let's see how he responds.' And I did not lose heart entirely."Darnold delivered, going 16 of 21 for 198 yards and two touchdowns while helping the Jets to a stunning 48-17 season-opening victory."I think he's one of those old souls," Johnson said. "He's wise beyond his years. Certainly his decision-making to this point has indicated so. He's very steady. He's not prone to big highs or lows."The Jets traded up three spots from No. 6 in March to assure themselves of getting a franchise-type quarterback. After Cleveland took quarterback Baker Mayfield first overall and the Giants selected running back Saquon Barkley, Johnson and the Jets knew they would get the guy they wanted all along in Darnold.The owner was still excited shortly after the draft when he told reporters that the selection of Darnold could be a moment people look at 20 years from now as the move that made the Jets great again.A 50-year Super Bowl drought can do that, and Johnson acknowledged Wednesday that he was "maybe a little more enthusiastic than I should be, and things got away from me a little bit."But, Johnson added that he hopes time — and Darnold — will prove him right someday."I think the trade up to (No.) 3 was pivotal," Johnson said. "It's maybe the most important decision that the organization has made in a long time. I mean, certainly in years."Johnson made sure to not raise expectations for this year's team, reiterating that there's no playoff mandate because he thinks those can be counterproductive.Instead, he hopes to https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-jimmy-graham-jersey-sale-1_55.html see progress from his team and coaching staff. Not that he can't help but feel good with such a rousing start to the season behind their rookie QB."This is one game," he said. "I think the fans can legitimately be excited. They should be. But it's one game. Sam sees it as that. The organization does. We're going to try to move forward with that in mind."Here are some other comments from Johnson:— On whether he might continue in his current role when his brother returns from his position as U.S. ambassador: "Look, I'm looking forward to my brother coming back in a few https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-jaire-alexander-jersey-sale-1_46.html years. He's a great leader. But, no question, I'm hoping to have a larger role at that point than I had prior. I think he'd welcome that. I know he would because I think I have a new perspective at this point that would be valuable for the franchise."— On being the team's CEO: "It's a great gig."— On fans being excited about the potential of the Jets moving forward: "Next year, we have the most money in free agency (among NFL teams) and I think there's reasonably going to be some interesting free agents coming out. It'll be another chance for us to improve the team. Maybe expectations should ramp up here. But for right now, I think this team is advancing. I'm happy with what I see so far."— On the team's sights set on getting to a Super Bowl in the future: "I'm always going to want to go to the Super Bowl. Do I expect that? I want to be there. If you're in this league and you're not trying to get to the Super Bowl, and that isn't your expectation from Day 1, then what the hell are you doing here? And that's the mindset."— On 39-year-old backup quarterback Josh McCown, who is making $10 million this season but is the unquestioned leader in the locker room: "I think he's money well spent."— On having no role in naming Darnold the starter and leaving it up to his coach and https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authentic-aaron-rodgers-jersey-sale-1_5.html GM: "I'm not yet Jerry Jones."— On ticket sales with the Jets set to play their home opener Sunday against the Miami Dolphins: "They're well ahead of where we were last year. I'm not going to go into details.

NFL preseason Week 2 winners and losers: Bills' Josh Allen makes move Josh Allen: Though many considered him to be the least pro-ready of the elite quarterbacks in the draft, Allen might be the one making the strongest case to start. In Friday’s 19-17 victory against the Browns, Allen led the Bills on scoring drives on each of the three series he played, going nine of 13 for 60 yards and one score. Most impressive was that Allen showed pocket awareness and poise, and kept his eyes shifting through his progressions when defenders charged toward him.The latest sign of momentum? In Monday’s practice, the Bills worked Allen with the first-string. By the afternoon, the team announced he’d start Sunday against the Bengals.The Jets: An organization that has spent years searching for a franchise quarterback, New York — suddenly Marquise Goodwin Jersey Cheap — might have multiple options. Rookie Sam Darnold has impressed thus far in his first training camp. Teddy Bridgewater has flashed in his comeback from a major knee injury two years ago — completing 10 of 15 passes for 127 yards with one touchdown and one interception — and might actually be the best option to play right now. And veteran Josh McCown is steady and an excellent leader in the locker room, though he’s not a long-term option. The Jets can go in several different directions, but one appealing route might be to appoint McCown or Darnold as the QB1 and trade Bridgewater for more assets.MORE NFL:James Conner: With Le’Veon Bell’s continued absence from the Steelers, the slimmed-down Conner is taking advantage. Though he has only carried the ball nine times this preseason — including five times for 57 yards and one touchdown in Thursday’s loss against the Packers — Conner has proven he can elude defenders and can be a contributor Nike Marquise Goodwin Jersey On Sale in the regular season. Just take a peek at this 26-yard scamper to see how.Joe Flacco: He has struggled in recent years as his supporting cast lacked star talent, but Flacco looked poised and comfortable against the Colts. He completed seven of nine passes for 72 yards and one touchdown. But more importantly, he looked to build some rapport with new receivers Michael Crabtree (nice, zone-beating, 29-yard catch down the left sideline), John Brown (7-yard touchdown grab in traffic), and tight end Hayden Hurst (15-yard reception in between defenders).Tyreek Hill: The Chiefs receiver broke out last season, catching 75 passes for 1,183 yards and seven touchdowns. With the https://www.sf49ersfanonline.com/authentic-deion-sanders-jersey-sale-1_84.html strong-armed Pat Mahomes taking over the starting quarterback job, Friday’s 28-14 Kansas City victory flashed a glimpse of what Mahomes can do with Hill — one of the fastest players in the NFL — at his disposal on a 69-yard touchdown.Dez Bryant: Long maintaining that he needed to get his mind right before returning to football, the unsigned Bryant might have missed his best chance to latch on to an ascending roster. Bryant live-tweeted the preseason opening game for the Browns on Aug. 9 and announced that he would be making a visit to the franchise. He did on Thursday, but it was in the wake of star receiver Josh Gordon announcing his return to the team after an extended hiatus as he worked on his mental health. Now, Cleveland apparently does not need Bryant, which means he’ll likely have to keep waiting to find a suitor.Kirk Cousins: Granted, it’s Nike Dwight Clark Jersey On Sale just one preseason game, so no need to overreact, especially given how strong the Jaguars' first-string defense is. But Cousins had a rocky night in a 14-10 loss, going three of eight for 12 yards. In his four drives, the offense twice sputtered to three-and-outs. Cousins is clearly the franchise quarterback in Minnesota, but Saturday’s game might be an indication there will be some growing pains against top-tier defenses.AJ McCarron: It’s bad enough that McCarron was the weakest of the three Bills quarterbacks in Friday’s game, completing just three of six passes for 12 yards, but he also suffered a shoulder injury. The Bills said McCarron is still undergoing further tests to determine the severity. But with the regular-season opener less than three weeks away, and with Allen making strides and Nathan Peterman keeping steady in the competition, it’s a near certainty McCarron will — again — be relegated to the bench.Dolphins rush defense: Miami ranked 14th last year with 110.5 rushing yards allowed per game (14th), and that was with Ndamukong Suh still commanding the middle. After Friday’s 27-20 loss to the Panthers, the Dolphins showed how vulnerable they might be after moving on from the five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. On 31 carries, the Panthers earned 226 yards (7.3 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns, including a 71-yard score by Christian McCaffrey. The Patriots: Yes, it looked like Trent Brown was going to take over the starting left tackle spot, anyway, but losing a first-round pick to a torn Achilles is an undeniable blow. Tackle Isaiah Wynn, who was taken with the No. 23 overall selection, was expected to at least rotate in and out of the lineup, and might have been poised to take the right tackle gig from Marcus Cannon. New England should recover from the loss, but it’s a hit to a team that was already dealing with the departure of left tackle Nate Solder in free agency.Follow USA TODAY Sports' Lorenzo Reyes on Solomon Thomas Jersey Twitter @LorenzoGReyes.Elvis Dumervil White Elite Jersey Dekoda Watson White Elite Jersey Y.A.

Giants can't fix season-long scoring woes in loss to Falcons "I did think this was going to be a big day for us," Beckham said.Instead, the Giants were held to two field goals through three quarters of their 23-20 loss to the Falcons on Monday night. Two fourth-quarter touchdowns were not enough to win the game or convince anyone in the New York locker room that answers had been found for season-long scoring woes that led to the Giants' fourth straight loss.The Giants (1-6) were frustrated by an Atlanta defense which has three starters on injured reserve and had allowed the second-most points and third-most yards per game in the NFL.After Case Keenum Jersey Cheap the game, Beckham sat facing his locker, holding his head in his hands before finally heading off to his shower.When he faced reporters later, he was calm but frustrated."It's the little things, the little pieces that you've got to put together, the little things that are the difference between losing and winning," Beckham said. "We just haven't found a way to put it all together."The statistics would suggest Beckham did his part with eight receptions for 143 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown catch with only 5 seconds remaining.The touchdown made the final score look more respectable, but it brought Beckham little comfort. He chastised himself for failing to catch a 2-point pass that could have cut the Falcons' lead to 20-14 with about five minutes remaining."That's something I have to go home with at night," he said. "That's tough."Despite having such weapons as Beckham, Sterling Shepard, who had five catches for 167 yards, rookie standout running back Saquon Barkley and two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning, the Giants have found no answer to their season-long inability https://www.vonmillerbroncosshop.com/authentic-peyton-manning-jersey-sale-1_83.html to turn yards into points."We know we have talent," said tight end Evan Engram. "We're doing things. We're just not putting the big picture together. That's what's frustrating. ... We're just going to keep working, and it will eventually pop."The Giants have scored no more than 20 points in five of their seven games."I can't give you the answer," Barkley said. "We're not executing. We're not finishing drives. That's the gist of our season. ... We've got to find a way to execute and finish our game."There were no turnovers to blame. Manning threw for 399 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, but he was sacked four times for a loss of 27 yards. Entering the game, the 37-year-old Manning had been sacked 20 times, third-most in the NFL.Barkley was held to Nike Bradley Chubb Jersey On Sale 43 yards, his second-lowest total of the season, on 14 carries. He added nine catches for 51 yards."Honestly, personally I didn't play a good game," Barkley said. "... I wasn't the player I usually am."The difficulties in scoring might have influenced coach Pat Shurmur's aggressive play-calling.With Atlanta leading 10-3 early in the third quarter, Shurmur left his offense on the field for a fourth-down play from the Atlanta 1. Manning's pass for Scott Simonson was incomplete.Shurmur again left his offense on the Bradley Chubb White Elite Jersey field to go for a 2-point play after Barkley's 2-yard scoring run cut Atlanta's lead to 20-12 in the fourth quarter. Giants players supported Demaryius Thomas Jersey Cheap the call, which ended with the incompletion to Beckham."He has faith in us that we're going to put it in the end zone," Shepard said. "I love that the coaches have faith in us."Added Beckham: "I like the call. I love being aggressive."Shurmur said analytics show "You increase your chances by 50 percent if you go for it and make it there, so that's what you do."Shurmur said going for 2 was "an aggressive approach. ... I think from a head coaching perspective, I want to be aggressive for our guys."___Nike Zach Kerr Jersey On Sale Chad Kelly Jersey DeAngelo Henderson Jersey Nike Josh Banderas Jersey On Sale Jeff Heuerman White Elite Jersey Zach Kerr Jersey Shannon Sharpe White Elite Jersey Mark Sanchez White Elite Jersey Terrell Davis White Elite Jersey Dontrell Nelson Jersey Nike Kalif Raymond Jersey On Sale Devontae Booker White Elite Jersey Lorenzo Doss Jersey Dontrell Nelson White Elite Jersey Karl Mecklenburg Jersey
Rudolph, Hernandez, Landry among best available for Day 2 The NFL also invited UCF's Shaquem Griffin to the draft. It was no surprise the linebacker who lost his left hand to amputation as a child did not go in round one. He is one of the draft's biggest wild cards after putting on a show at the combine. It would not be shocking if a team called Griffin on Day 2.Six more intriguing players likely to come off the board Friday:Mason Rudolph, QB, 6-foot-5, 235 pounds, Oklahoma StateThere was some talk that Rudolph could slip into the first round and make it a record tying six quarterbacks taken. Instead, he'll look to become the first selected on Day 2. He could be a nice value. Rudolph is a big guy, with a good arm who throws a nice https://www.carsonwentzfanjersey.com/authentic-randall-cunningham-jersey-sale-1_54.html deep ball. The Giants own the second pick of the second round. Maybe he's the guy they can groom to take over for Eli Manning. Denver at 40 could be a possibility along with Miami (42) and New England (43).Will Hernandez, OG, 6-2, 345, UTEPSix offensive linemen were taken in the first round, including two centers that could play guard and a tackle that could slide inside. Nobody bit on Hernandez, a powerful run blocker with quick feet. With Cleveland and the Bears among the first to pick in the second round, Hernandez should not have to wait too long to be picked. He might be the best offensive lineman left, though Iowa center James Daniels could be in that discussion, too.Harold Landry, OLB/DE, 6-3, 252, Boston CollegeLandry was one of the best pass rushers in the country as a junior, but his senior year was wrecked by injuries. He might have to learn a more traditional linebacker's role in the NFL after mostly playing as a defensive end at BC. But he is the best edge rusher left so he probably won't have wait long into second round. The Colts at 36 and 37 could use a boost to the pass rush, but will he fit their new 4-3 defense? The Giants Nike Reggie White Jersey On Sale need pass rushers, too. A similar player to watch for is LSU's Arden Key, who was being talked about as a possible top-10 pick before he had a poor and injury plagued 2017 season.Ronald Jones II, RB, 5-11, Nike Randall Cunningham Jersey On Sale 200, Southern CaliforniaThe darting, slashing runner who always seems to fall forward. Jones is similar to Guice in style but not quite as Nike Dallas Thomas Jersey On Sale big and strong. Georgia's Nick Chubb is also still available after three running backs (Saquon Barkley, Rashaad Penny and Sony Michel) went in the first round. Jones, Guice and Chubb could all be up for consideration for Cleveland (picks 33 and 35) and Tampa Bay (38) early in the second round. All should be off the gone by the end of round two and provide good value.Maurice Hurst, DT, 6-2, 282, MichiganHurst is an undersized tackle with some health concerns, but he was probably the most productive interior defensive lineman in the country last season. Scheme fit will likely be key, but defenses that need tackles who attack gaps and look to be disruptive in the backfield could find a day two steal in Hurst.Christian Kirk, WR, 5-10, 200, Texas AMOnly two receivers were selected in the first round (Calvin Ridley and DJ Moore). Next up could be Kirk, who also brings with him some serious skills as a kick and punt returner. He returned seven punts and kicks for touchdowns at AM. His size might relegate him to slot receiver. If a team Reggie White White Elite Jersey is looking for a bigger target, SMU's Courtland Sutton, who is 6-5, is also left.___Nike Brandon Brooks Jersey On Sale Nike Justin Hamilton Jersey On Sale Darrell Greene Jersey Tommy McDonald White Elite Jersey Nike Billy Brown Jersey On Sale Caleb Sturgis White Elite Jersey Aaron Neary White Elite Jersey Sidney Jones Jersey Anthony Denham White Elite Jersey Victor Salako Jersey David Watford White Elite Jersey Rodney McLeod White Elite Jersey Isaac Seumalo White Elite Jersey Darren Sproles Jersey Herman Edwards White Elite Jersey

It was Succop's first miss from inside 50 yards since Sept. 21, 2014, in a loss at Cincinnati. ... Tampa Bay entered its 15-10 win over the New York Jets with a league-low eight sacks. The Buccaneers nearly doubled that as six players — Robert Ayers Jr., Gerald McCoy, Kendell https://www.antoniobrownfanjersey.com/cheap-troy-polamalu-jersey-sale-1_123 Beckwith, Darryl Tapp, Clinton McDonald and Will Clarke — got to Josh McCown. ... The Los Angeles Rams cruised past Houston 33-7 to improve to 7-2, their best start since 2001, when they went 8-1 in St. Louis and made the Super Bowl. ... New England's 41-16 win at Denver was its 12th straight on the road. They Patriots also won a dozen consecutive road games from 2006-08. The NFL record is 18, set by the Joe Montana-led San Francisco 49ers from 1988-90.___MILESTONESAtlanta's Adrian Clayborn had a career-high and franchise-record six sacks, forced two fumbles and recovered a fumble in the Falcons' 27-7 win against Dallas. The six sacks are tied for the second most in a game, behind only Derrick Thomas' seven in 1990, since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. ...

New England's Tom Brady won his 86th game as a starter in the Patriots' 41-16 victory at Denver, breaking a tie for first in NFL history with Peyton Manning.___SAINTS MARCHINGNew Orleans defeated Buffalo 47-10 to improve to 7-2, becoming the second team since the merger in 1970 to start 0-2 and win its next seven games. The 1993 Dallas Cowboys are the only other Nike Ben Roethlisberger Jersey On Sale team to accomplish that feat, and won the Super Bowl that season.___GOFF GOES OFFJared Goff completed 25 of 37 passes (67.6 percent) for 355 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 125.4 passer rating in the Los Angeles Rams' 33-7 win over Houston. Goff passed for 311 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions for a 146.8 passer rating last week, becoming the first player in franchise history to throw for at least 300 yards and three TDs with no INTs in consecutive games.

Boswell also had a chance to give Pittsburgh the lead with a 37-yard field goal with 6:17 left, but the ball hit the right goal post and bounced off.___CLUTCH PERFORMERDetroit's Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes, including the winning score to Eric Ebron with 10:46 remaining in the fourth quarter, in the Lions' 38-24 win over Cleveland. The performance marked Stafford's 30th career winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime. Among players who made their NFL debut since 1970, Stafford has reached 30 winning drives in the fewest number of career games (118).___ONE FOR THE AGESPittsburgh rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster had five catches for 97 yards with a touchdown, while Indianapolis' Adam Vinatieri had a field goal and two extra points in the Steelers' 20-17 win over the Colts. It marked the first time in NFL history that a player under the age of 21 (Smith-Schuster, 20 years old) and a player over the age of 40 (Vinatieri, 44 years old) each scored a point in the same game.___GLOOMY DAYSAfter falling to 0-9 with a 38-24 loss at Detroit, the Cleveland Browns are headed toward NFL infamy a year after losing their first 14 games in coach Hue Jackson's debut season and finishing 1-15. Jackson is 1-24, a 25-game record since 1960 that is better than only Tampa Bay's John McKay 0-25 mark. And those Bucs were a first-year expansion team.___QUIET DEBUTBuffalo wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, acquired in a trade with Carolina on Oct. 31, finished with just three catches for a team-best 42 yards in the Bills' 47-10 loss to New Orleans.___FITZ'S REVENGERyan Fitzpatrick made his first start for Tampa Bay in place of the injured Jameis Winston and got a win against his former team. Fitzpatrick, who spent the past two seasons with the New York Jets, completed 17 of 34 passes for 187 yards and was intercepted once in a 15-10 win that snapped a five-game losing streak for the Buccaneers.___SAN FRANCISCO'S TREATSan Francisco took a lead for the first time since Oct. 1 at Arizona when it got a field goal from Robbie Gould on the opening drive of the 49ers' 31-21 win over the New York Giants. The five games without holding a lead tied a franchise worst, set in 1963. The 49ers also got their initial first down while holding a lead this season on a 40-yard pass from Beathard to Louis Murphy in the third quarter.___MISSING ZEKEDallas started former Pro Bowler Alfred Morris at running back in place of the suspended Ezekiel Elliott, but he didn't have much of an impact beyond a 20-yard run in the Cowboys' 27-7 loss at Atlanta. Morris finished with 53 yards on 11 carries. Rod Smith ran three times for 14 yards, while Darren McFadden was thrown for a 2-yard loss on his lone carry. Quarterback Dak Prescott chipped in with 42 yards on six carries.___SIDELINEDIndianapolis quarterback Jacoby Brissett was being evaluated for a head injury by team doctors even though he had cleared through the NFL's concussion protocol late in the third quarter of the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Team officials said Brissett was initially evaluated for a concussion on the sideline twice — once with team doctors and once by the unaffiliated neurological consultant. He passed both times. Then, after the game, he developed concussion-like symptoms again and returned to the protocol. ... Pittsburgh cornerback Joe Haden broke his left leg in the game. Starting safety Mike Mitchell left on a cart with an injured right ankle and did not https://www.antoniobrownfanjersey.com/cheap-ryan-shazier-jersey-sale-1_109 return. ... Running back Devonta Freeman was hurt on Atlanta's second offensive play in the Falcons' win over the Cowboys. ... Dallas linebacker Sean Lee also went out in the first quarter with a hamstring injury. ... New Orleans running back Daniel Lasco had feelings in his extremities after sustaining a spine injury while tackling Brandon Tate on a kickoff return six minutes into the second quarter at Buffalo. Lasco was loaded into an ambulance and transported to a Buffalo-area hospital. ... Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery ran for a 37-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but sat out the second half of the win against the Bears because of a rib injury. That left the Packers without their top two running backs after Aaron Jones hurt his knee in the first quarter.___SPEAKING"I'm exhausted right now. I'm shot. I'm shot. ... I'm living and dying on every single play with every call that we have. So after the game is over, I'm shot." — Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone, Antonio Brown White Elite Jersey after the Jaguars beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17 in overtime.___"AC went crazy today." — Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones on teammate Adrian Clayborn, who set a franchise record with a career-high six sacks in the Falcons' 27-7 win over Dallas.___Ramon Foster Jersey Ryan Harris Jersey David DeCastro Jersey Rocky Bleier Jersey Donnie Shell Jersey Mike Hilton Jersey Sean Davis Jersey Roosevelt Nix Jersey Steven Johnson Jersey Senquez Golson Jersey Greg Ducre Jersey Mike Matthews Jersey Fitzgerald Toussaint Jersey Landry Jones Jersey Merril Hoge Jersey
NFL: Why fewer players are being arrested since 2014 But it didn’t quite work. Another surge of criminal cases disrupted the league in 2013 and 2014, prompting it to revamp its strategy.And now the NFL is learning just how well it’s holding up this time, based on nearly four years of data since its new policies took hold in 2015. Some of the results are striking:► NFL player arrests and criminal citations have dropped to about 38 per year since then, compared to about 57 per year in the 10 years prior, according to an analysis of the USA TODAY Sports database of more than 900 such incidents involving players since 2000.► Arrest rates for drunken driving and domestic violence both have fallen in step. DUI arrests are down to about nine per year since January 2015, compared to 15 per year from 2005-2014. Domestic abuse arrests dipped from about seven per year from 2005-2014 to about five per year since 2015.► And the Bengals have had only four known incidents since then, cooling their bad boy image after a rash of incidents in the previous decade.“I think we’re a much more enlightened population, and that makes us stronger and better and I think also has an impact on actions,” said Anna Isaacson, the NFL’s senior vice president for social responsibility. “I think you see the results in actions by incidents going down.”Nobody’s celebrating, however. The league still considers one arrest to be too many, even if that might not realistic. At the same time, the data shows that the league experienced a watershed year in 2014, leading to changes that seem to be lasting.That September was when a video went viral of running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee in a casino elevator. The outrage that erupted over his lenient two-game suspension soon hurled the league into a public relations crisis, compelling it to crack down on player conduct again and toughen its approach to domestic abuse.The past four years also marked a transformation in punishment and prevention for driving drunk. That same September, the league and players union agreed to two-game suspensions for first-time DUI offenses instead of fines. Meanwhile, ride-share services such as Uber and Lyft have exploded in popularity, making it easier to get home safely after partying.Last year, the players union announced a partnership with Lyft in which active players Luke Rhodes Jersey Cheap would be eligible to receive $250 in ride credits.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: What if Patrick Mahomes landed with Bills or another team? QB dominoes have come to define NFL<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Six NFL stars who deserve more help from their teams“People want to go out; people want to have a good time,” Philadelphia Eagles receiver Jordan Matthews said. “But I think Uber and Lyft and things like that have done a great job giving people that opportunity to not putting other people in danger.”That and other changes by the league have led to a significant reduction in such incidents, though some issues persist and some teams do better than others. While the Bengals appear better behaved, the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets lead the league with 11 arrests or citations since 2015. The Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos have the most incidents since 2000 with 51 and 50, including three and five since 2015, according to the database.To provide context on player conduct issues that have challenged the league, USA TODAY Sports has tracked NFL arrests and criminal citations of active NFL players since 2000. Some incidents come to light later or avoid detection. The list of 900-plus incidents are overwhelmingly misdemeanor cases, often resulting from traffic stops, with drunk driving remaining the league’s biggest criminal problem – about 25% of all NFL arrests.The problem turned especially tragic in December 2012, when Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent drove drunk and crashed in an accident that killed his teammate and passenger, Jerry Brown. Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter in 2014. The NFL toughened its DUI punishment later that year. “You don't want to be the guy that's putting a black eye on your team,” Jets offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum said. “And I think organizations as a whole have made a point that if you do this, you may not be the guy for us. And the leash for some people is not as long as it is for others. So it's a give-and-take for both ends, the organization and the players understanding the ramifications and consequences for some of the things that go along with DUI arrests and things of that nature."The league had at least 35 combined DUI arrests in 2012 https://www.andrewlucknewjersey.com/authentic-marlon-mack-jersey-sale-1_67.html and 2013, compared to about 20 over the last two years, part of a culture Jack Mewhort Jersey Cheap change that emphasizes both prevention and increased accountability.Take the case of Jameis Winston. Early one morning in 2016, the Tampa TY Hilton Jersey Cheap Bay quarterback got into the front seat of a ride with Uber. Though he may have prevented a DUI arrest by not getting behind the wheel, the female driver accused him of grabbing her crotch in the car while waiting in line at a drive-thru restaurant in Arizona.Winston wasn’t arrested or charged with a crime. But the NFL investigated and concluded Winston had touched the driver in an inappropriate and sexual manner without her consent, a form of sexual assault, which is another big emphasis now in the league’s annual social responsibility education program for players and staff.The NFL then punished Winston with a three-game suspension that ended last month. He apologized to the driver and said, “I have eliminated alcohol from my life.”Isaacson said the league’s beefed-up educational programs are designed to help players and staff gain broader understanding of sexual assault and domestic violence beyond just “how to stay out of trouble.”“The purpose is (players and staff) need to understand these issues and know how they can affect your community, when you need to speak up if you see something, how you can help people who may be effected, and what actions you can take as an everyday citizen,” she said. “That’s a very different mindset than we were in, in 2014.”This has helped the league also make progress with domestic abuse, part of which might be measured by the dip in arrests for such cases since 2015. Tougher punishment plays a role, too. Before the Rice video aired, the NFL had been historically lenient on domestic violence cases, usually never punishing a player with more than a one- or two-game suspension.The NFL since increased the discipline for first-time offenses to six-game suspensions, even if the player hadn’t been arrested, subject to various circumstances. Last year, the league handed down a six-game ban for Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who hadn’t been arrested but still was punished by the league based on domestic abuse evidence it found to be credible.It was another example of the NFL holding players to an elevated standard that goes well beyond the requirements of the criminal justice system, often with pushback from players and their union.The league often has pointed out that its player arrest rate historically has been lower than that of the general population, even during its worst years for arrests, a claim that is supported by a 2015 study conducted by the University of Texas Dallas involving males ages 20-39.USA TODAY Sports also found that roughly one-third of NFL arrest cases lead to acquittal or charges being dropped without punishment. The remaining two-thirds end up with some type of legal punishment after plea deals, convictions or diversion programs. Beyond that, thousands of players participate in the league each year without incident, considering that team rosters often change and expand to 90 players in the offseason.But the crises of four to five years ago still demanded more from the league. Big criminal cases especially can dominate the public conversation about the league, as they did with the Rice video or when tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder in 2013, less than a year after he signed a five-year contract worth up to $40 million. “It was critical that the NFL responded to the high-profile, high-visibility cases in the manner they did,” said Alex Piquero, a criminologist at UT Dallas who has conducted research on NFL player arrests, including this year on how crime in college predicts violent crime in the NFL.Protecting the NFL shield – its image and brand -- is why it matters to Goodell and team owners. Their players are highly paid public figures who attract media attention with any incident involving police. Sponsors and consumers https://www.andrewlucknewjersey.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey-sale-1_65.html are paying attention, even if it always will be a work in progress with new young men coming into the league each year, usually around age 21.“Just like any organization, the NFL would probably prefer that their players are not arrested at all,” Piquero said in an e-mail. “However … I also do not think it is very realistic. Evidence from general population studies in criminology show that roughly a third will have some type of criminal justice contact, usually arrest, by their mid-20s. Although I am not sure I would view such an arrest percentage as necessarily successful, I would argue that these estimates provide a type of baseline of what we may expect.”Continued progress is a more realistic goal.“We feel it’s trending in the right direction,” Isaacson said.Contributing: Martin Frank, Andy VasquezKendall Langford Jersey John Simon Jersey Darryl Morris Jersey Dante Blackmon Jersey TY McGill Jersey Henry Krieger-Coble Jersey Quincy Wilson Jersey Blake Muir Jersey JoJo Natson Jersey Bug Howard Jersey Rashaan Melvin Jersey Vontae Davis Jersey Mo Alie-Cox Jersey Rigoberto Sanchez Jersey Jabaal Sheard Jersey
