The Texans are struggling under first-year head coach Lovie Smith, especially on defense. in run defense (181.6 yards per game), 19th in pa sing defense (217.5), and 30th overall. That could get worse against a Giants team who rushes for 161.5 yards per game, good enough for fifth in the league.Houston lost last week on Thursday Boston Red Sox Jersey night to the still-undefeated Philadelphia Eagles 29-17, although the game was tied at halftime. Philadelphia pulled away late after a Davis Mills interception that sealed the deal for the Eagles.The Giants stand at 6-2 and are tied with Dallas for Steven Wright Jersey second place in the NFC East. They lost to a resurgent Seattle Seahawks two weeks ago before their bye week and have had two weeks to dwell on the 27-13 lo s in Seattle. which put pre sure on quarterback Daniel Jones and the pa sing game. While Jones avoided big mistakes, he was sacked five times and couldn't find big plays through the Mitch Moreland Jersey air. He completed just 17 of 31 pa ses for 176 yards.WHAT:Houston Texans (1-6-1) at New York Giants (6-2)WHEN: Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022, 12 p.m. CTWHERE: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey (82,500)Scroll to ContinueTELEVISION: CBS / FuboTV ( )RADIO: SPORTS RADIO 610 | 100.3 THE BULL | MEGA 101SPREAD: Houston Texans +5.5 (-118), NY Giants -5.5 (+100)TOTAL: 40.5 (o -118, u +100)MONEYLINE: David Price Jersey Texans +188, Giants -225 and

Widely viewed by many as the greatest heist in NFL history, the Cowboys managed to persuade the Vikings into trading away multiple first round picks for star running back Hershel Walker midway through the 1989 season.While Dallas finished an NFL-worst 1-15 in coach Jimmy Johnson's first season on the sidelines, the trade precipitated a rapid rebuild that led to three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s. Among the players drafted with the picks acquired from Minnesota, the franchise landed future Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith as well as defensive cornerstones in defensive tackle Ru sell Maryland, safety Darren Woodson, and cornerback Kevin Smith.As for the Vikings, after making the trade for Walker believing he was the mi sing piece that would help them get back to the Super Bowl, the team got blown out by the 49ers in the divisional round months after the trade. Mitch Moreland Jersey The veteran running back lasted only two more seasons with the team as they fell back to 6-10 and 8-8 records, failing to mi s the playoffs both times.For more than three decades, the Walker deal has remained the pinnacle for one-sided thievery jobs in NFL history without parallel.That is, until now.It has only been eight months since the Seahawks turned years of rumors into reality by unloading quarterback Ru sell Wilson, dealing the nine-time Pro Bowler to the Broncos for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and three veteran players. At the time of the blockbuster trade, much like when Walker joined the Vikings all those years ago, the Broncos were viewed as the big winners bringing in the mi sing piece to fuel a Super Bowl run.But with the 2022 season now well past the midway point, so far, the deal couldn't be more skewed in general manager John Schneider and Seattle's favor. Playing the worst football of his career in the Mile High City, .To put Wilson's ugly numbers in perspective, Washington's Carson Wentz hasn't played since October 13 and has three more touchdown pa ses than Wilson. Matt Ryan was benched by Indianapolis for a couple weeks after a rough start and still has three more touchdown to ses than him. Even Andy Dalton, who replaced an injured Jameis Winston, has twice as many touchdown pa ses for the Saints.Meanwhile, before even looking at the players acquired from the Mookie Betts Jersey Broncos, . The veteran signal caller, who served as Wilson's backup for three seasons, ranks first in the NFL in completion percentage, second in pa ser rating, and sixth in touchdown pa ses, transforming into a viable MVP candidate leading an upstart 6-4, NFC West-leading squad.At the center of Seattle's unexpected ascendance, the team has relied heavily on rookies, including left tackle Charles Cro s and linebacker Boye Mafe, who were drafted with the first and second round picks that previously belonged to Denver. Cro s has started all 10 games and only allowed four sacks protecting Smith's blind side, while Mafe became a starter early in the season and has played sound run defense along with producing a pair of sacks.Already quality starters, Cro s and Mafe look to be building blocks for the Seahawks to build around on each side of the football. In addition, general manager John Schneider snagged a potential All-Pro running back in Ken Walker III, Blake Swihart Jersey another quality tackle in Abraham Lucas, and two stud cornerbacks in Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen on day three of the draft, a sembling what could be a historic 2022 cla s.Scroll to ContinueSeattle hasn't just benefited from the Wilson trade in terms of incoming rookies either. As part of the deal, Schneider also landed veteran defensive tackle Shelby Harris and tight end Noah Fant, who have each made their helping the team race out to an unexpected fast start.Starting all 10 games in the trenches thus far, Harris has been stout against the run and offered plenty of punch rushing from the interior. Always playing with great energy that positively rubs off on his teammates, he ranks second on the team with four tackles for lo s and ranks third on the team with 20 quarterback pre sures to go along with a pair of sacks.Thriving as part of a three-headed monster at tight end alongside Will Di sly and Colby Parkinson, Fant has quietly turned in a stellar first season with the Seahawks. After a somewhat slow start, he ranks third on the team in receptions (30) and receiving yardage (306) behind star wideouts Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf and per Pro Football Focus, he ranks first on the team in yards after the catch (174).Examining early returns, the Seahawks already managed to turn Wilson into four starters in Cro s, Mafe, Harris, and Fant while still receiving top-flight quarterback play from Smith at a bargain bin price. Much to the chagrin of Broncos fans, they aren't done reaping Carl Yastrzemski Jersey the rewards either.With Denver's 22-16 lo s to Las Vegas on Sunday dropping the team four games under .500, Seattle would pick fifth overall with the first round selection acquired in the Wilson trade. Schneider would also have pick No. 36 in the second round, giving him three total selections in the first 36 picks while still contending for a playoff spot. As the holidays approach, it's the gift that keeps on giving in the Pacific Northwest and a prized pa s rusher, future franchise quarterback, or another star prospect could be a late Christmas present arriving in April.Considering Wilson's track record, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the standout quarterback eventually turn Roger Clemens Jersey things around for the Broncos. But with the season already past the midway point, it seems unlikely that will happen this year with lame duck head coach likely to be one-and-done and major changes brewing under a new ownership group.Regardle s of what happened, the Seahawks haven't just won this trade so far. After decades standing on a pedestal of its own, the heralded Walker pilferage officially has company for the most lopsided NFL blockbuster of all-time and Schneider hopes to continue turning the haul received for Wilson into a wide-open window to compete for championships just as the Cowboys did. .

Giants rebuild with GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll August 24 NEW YORK GIANTS (4-13)NEW FACES: GM Joe Schoen, coach Brian Daboll, first-round picks LB Kayvon Thibodeaux, OT Evan Neal, second-round pick WR Wan'Dale Robinson, third-round picks G Josh Ezeudu and CB Cor'Dale Flott, fourth-round pick TE Daniel Bellinger, C Jon Feliciano, G Mark Glowinski, G Max Garcia, QB Tyrod Taylor, RB Matt Breida, LB Jihad Ward, DL Jalyn Holmes and P Jamie Gillan. KEY LOSSES: CB James Bradberry, TE Evan Engram, S Logan Ryan, S Jabrill Peppers, T Nate Solder, C Billy Price, RB Devontae Booker, P Riley Dixon, DT Austin Johnson, DT Danny Shelton, LB Lorenzo Carter, LB Reggie Ragland and LB Jaylon Smith.STRENGTHS: Saquon Barkley is looking like the young back who came out of Penn State in 2018 and tore up the NFL. He is also benefitting from an improved offensive line that has young bookend tackles in Andrew Thomas and Neal and added Chicago Cubs Hats Feliciano and Glowinski. The defensive line has two excellent players in Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence, who has stepped up in his fourth season. Coordinator's Wink Martindale Willson Contreras Jersey 's pre sing defenses may give opponents fits. Placekicker Graham Gano is among the best in the league, although he sustained a concu sion in a preseason game against the Bengals. WEAKNESSES: This is a make-or-break year for quarterback Daniel Jones after the team did not pick up his fifth-year option. He has been the same old D.J. in Daboll's offense in camp. Taylor is waiting in the wings. The cornerback spot is shaky with Bradberry released in a salary-cap move. Aaron Robinson has replaced him, but he had a very tough opening preseason game. Veteran Darnay Holmes, Flott and free agent Darren Evans are options. Overall the biggest i sue is depth. There are some very good players, but the gap to the next level is deep. CAMP DEVELOPMENT: Thibodeaux and Neal have settled in nicely and should start in the season opener at Tenne see on Sept. 11. The only glitch is Thibodeaux had an MCL injury to his right knee against the Bengals and his status is uncertain. There are also concerns about the veteran receivers. After a horrible first season with the Giants, Kenny Golladay isn't showing a lot in camp. 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney, who mi sed seven games as a rookie, is again having problems staying on the field. Sterling Shepard (Achilles tendon) came off the PUP list on Aug. 24 and won't have much time to be ready for the start of the season. The good news is young receivers Alex Bachman and David Sills have shown flashes. Collin Johnson would have been in that category, but he tore an Achilles on Yu Darvish Jersey the day Shepard returned and was placed on injured reserve.FANTASY PLAYER TO WATCH: If Barkley stays healthy and the line continues to play well and stays healthy, No. 26 is going to excel in this offense. He has run hard and is showing the confidence that allowed him to rush for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns as a rookie. He also is a playmaker in this offense and his receptions will increase. Maybe it won't be as many as 91 like in 2018 but he will be a factor. FANDUEL SAYS: Win Super Bowl: +8500. Over/under wins: 7 1/2.EXPECTATIONS: Not high. The Giants have had five straight losing seasons and Daboll is the third new coach hired to change things, following Pat Shurmur (2018-19) and Joe Judge (2020-21). Nobody is going to be fooled again with the expectation of immediate improvement. Schoen has cleared up the cap me s in his first season and signed a few good free agents. Still, there aren't enough good players and Jones hasn't shown he can be a top quarterback. A sign of improvement would be more wins than last season, but a sixth Ben Zobrist Jersey straight losing season is a distinct po sibility.___More AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic New York Giants National Football League Collin Johnson Jabrill Peppers Lorenzo Carter Aaron Robinson Darnay Holmes Evan Engram Logan Ryan Jamie Gillan James Bradberry Riley Dixon Graham Gano Danny Shelton Leonard Williams Dexter Lawrence Tyrod Taylor Matt Breida Saquon Barkley Andrew Thomas Mark Glowinski Max Garcia Jon Feliciano Sterling Shepard Alex Bachman David Sills V Cincinnati Bengals New York Giants Image of Pel shines bright for Brazilian fans at World Cup The image of a young Pel celebrating goals and lifting trophies with Brazils national team appeared brightly on the shirts, flags and banners of Brazilian fans gathering before t.

Ikinasio "Iki" Tupou is a Palo Alto High School offensive tackle with serious football aspirations and, he might not know it just yet, someone who could have substantial name, image and likene s po sibilities.Or has he not heard of " Chicago Cubs Hoodie the Ickey Shuffle."Nearly two decades before Tupou was born, Elbert "Ickey" Woods emerged from Fresno, California, as the nation's leading rusher for the Fresno State Bulldogs, 165 miles south, and became Steve Cishek Jersey an NFL sensation.The running back combined his nickname with an end-zone dance that thrilled the ma ses all the way to the Super Bowl. A middle-aged Woods is still seen in TV advertisements today doing his shuffle in a supermarket setting."Iki Shuffle" anyone?On Monday, the University of Washington offered a scholarship to the 6-foot-6, 240-pound Tupou, who is a 3-star recruit from Justin Grimm Jersey the Cla s of 2024 and who tweeted out his opportunity.Scroll to ContinueSince the Huskies are facing California on Saturday, it seems only right that Tupou holds a previous offer from the Golden Addison Russell Jersey Bears, as well as San Jose State. He's the second player in two days who's been pursued by the UW coaching staff alongside Cal, which helps set the stage for the weekend matchup.The Huskies currently have edge rusher Zion Tupuola-Fetui, linebacker Alphonzo Tuputala and defensive tackle Faatui Tuitele on the roster, so a Tupou makes sense.They had one once before in defensive tackle Taniela Tupou, a Marysville, Washington, product who played for the UW in 2012-15 and is not Anthony Rizzo Jersey believed to be related to this Californian.

Despite not playing well today, Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson moved to 5-7 on the season with a win over the Houston Texans. Following the game, Watson spoke on his performance, as well as leaving Houston. "Its been a long road honestly," Deshaun Watson said following the win. "Houston is still part of me. Glenn Robinson Jersey Being traded was tough but it had to happen. It was a busine s decision.Watson requested a trade from Houston following the 2020 season. Following that trade request, the allegations of sexual misconduct piled up and made him virtually un-tradeable. Finally, he was dealt this past off-season. In his first game as a member of the Browns, Watson was 12 Milwaukee Brewers Custom Jersey -of-22 pa sing for 131 yards and an interception. He added 21 yards on seven totes of the football Christian Yelich Jersey . "It's definitely not going to be perfect, it was fun though," Watson said. "It was awesome to get out there with my teammates."Watson made some good plays with his arm and his legs, despite the ugly stat line. He was often short on some throws and looked like a player who hasn't played in 700 days. "It was very exciting to get my feet wet and just be able to run around and take some hits and just see everything kind of happen full speed. Yovani Gallardo Jersey "Head coach Kevin Stefanski isn't too worried about Watson, he believes he will bounce back and be just fine. "Hes human. His teammates have his back. Hell be better next week," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. Myles Garrett said a bit of the same. "We dont expect him to be Superman out there. He hasnt played in two years.Next up for the Browns and Watson is a trip to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. A game that Cleveland will surely have to have some offensive firepower.

Disrespectful. Embarra sing. Unproven. Inexperienced. Entitled.All of those words were used to describe the and their decision to hire as their interim head coach. The national media was in an uproar about what was transpiring on W 56th Street. Tirades by former left tackle and former head coach went viral. How could the Colts hire someone to take over their team who had no coaching experience in the NFL or even college?And while Colts owner had , he made one thing clear: Saturday would not be afraid. He was right.Saturday did not blink, lit a spark into a spiraling Colts team, and trusted his coaches and players to get the job done. The result was a 25-20 win over the and , who spurned the Colts for their head coaching vacancy in 2018. For all the talk about inexperience, Saturday gets the win in his debut.Man, just an incredible win, Saturday said with a smile after the game. I told the guys, in all three phases, it was just an incredible team effort. These guys have been through it. I told the staff, the coaches, the players, just the fortitude that they presented and the way they played Stephen Vogt Jersey today, they laid it all out there today. And I just could not be more appreciative of those guys and the way they played.Saturday said on Monday in his introductory pre s conference that he was drinking from a fire hose. He spent his first afternoon as the head coach of the Colts introducing himself to his staff, the coaches that would be going into battle with him in just six days. He met with the players for the first time on Wednesday morning, four days before kickoff.But one thing you can tell right away from Saturday is the pa sion he has in everything he does. Whether it was playing center for the Colts on his way to five Pro Bowls, being an analyst for covering the NFL, or leading this Colts team as their coach, Milwaukee Brewers Hoodie Saturday gives it his all. He is honest and holds everyone accountable, including himself.Saturday did not come in demanding respect as the new head coach. He knew he would have to prove himself to all of the coaches and players in the organization. Sunday was a great first step.I felt like we had a really good plan in place, Saturday admitted. I felt like all the men who I had talked about empowering and giving them the ability to do what they can do exceptionally well, they all stepped up. And so, I knew what my role was, and I was going to execute my role to the best of my ability. And I was going to allow all of those men to do the same and they stepped up, man. It was an incredible day.Saturday did not come in to take over the team. He came in to help the talented coaches on the Colts staff in any way he could, and the connection seems to be building quickly. Saturday embraced defensive coordinator after the Colts final stop. He ran up the sideline with running backs coach after a . He encouraged offensive line coach as the unit was in the midst of one of their best performances of the season.But the coach on Saturdays staff that really stepped up, and introduced himself to the rest of the Jhoulys Chacin Jersey NFL, was . Before Sunday, Frazier had spent the season as the Colts pa s game specialist/a sistant quarterbacks coach. Saturday named Frazier as the offensive play-caller for the rest of the season, and his debut was just as impre sive as Saturdays.The Colts offense rebounded nicely after their abysmal showing against the last week. The Colts had 415 total yards of offense with 208 pa sing yards and 207 rushing yards 147 by in a very balanced attack. The 7.0 yards per play was more than triple what the Colts mustered against the Patriots. They were 6-11 on third down as opposed to 0-14 last week. The Colts offense, finally, looked competent. Frazier kept it simple, calling plays the Colts could execute at a high rate. He dialed up calls to get the ball into the hands of the Colts best playmakers in Taylor, ., and . The results were obvious, and Saturday was pleased with how Frazier handled his new duties.I thought Parks did an excellent job of organizing and making sure his thoughts, ideas and that everybody contributed where they felt like we could take advantage, where they felt like we could make plays, and explosive plays in particular.Scroll to Continue"I thought Parks did a hell of a job, quarterback remarked. That's a hard situation, you know? And the first time doing it, to come on the road, to have all of the changes that we had this week. I thought he did a great job. Parks is going to be a really good coach in this league for a long time, but we also have some other really good coaches on the staff who helped him through the week, and I think they all picked up the slack.Speaking of Ryan, the former NFL MVP made his return this week as the Colts made another surprising move by starting the veteran quarterback. On Monday, Saturday had said that would be the starter. But as the week went on, Saturday knew Ryan was the quarterback that gave the Colts the best chance to win.I saw Matt throw, and that was the first time I had seen him throw, Saturday explained. He's coming off an injury and he put a good practice together on Thursday. So, Friday, I told him, Go back-to-back.' And again, now this is my first experience really ever seeing him throw and he looked really good Paul Molitor Jersey . I wanted to talk to the staff on Friday afternoon, but I knew what I was going to do, and I knew everybody was with it. I felt like Matt gave us the best chance to win.After mi sing the last two weeks with a shoulder injury, Ryan returned to have his most efficient day as a Colt. Ryan finished 21-of-28 (75%) for 222 yards, two total touchdowns (one pa sing, one rushing), no interceptions or fumbles, and a QB rating of 109.5. Ryan even had the longest run of his career, a 39-yard sprint from the 37-year-old quarterback.Maybe if I was a little faster, I could have scored, but I did the best I could, Ryan said with a laugh.It took only two plays after the long run for Ryan to find Campbell for a 35-yard touchdown strike. Campbell led the Colts with seven catches, a career-high 76 yards, and a touchdown. The Raiders tried to respond with a 14-play drive, but great defensive plays by and sealed the win for the Colts.The win also sealed a 1-0 start for Saturday as the interim head coach. Multiple players spoke about how Saturday handled things this week and how he empowered the coaches and players to handle their busine s, ensuring he would help when they needed him. That did not go unnoticed by the leaders of this team.I Corey Knebel Jersey thought (Saturday) did a great job at the beginning of the week of addre sing the situation, understanding it's completely unprecedented, completely unique, and was very clear about how he was going to try and go about it, and very clear about what he expected from the guys. Ryan explained. And, as players, I think players are extremely resilient. In this league th

Ernie Zampese of 'Air Coryell' Chargers, Cowboys, dies at 86 August 29 Ernie Zampese, one of the architects of the Dan Fouts-led Air Coryell offense with the San Diego Chargers and Troy Aikman's play-caller for the last of the Dallas Cowboys' three Super Bowl titles Roberto Perez Jersey in the 1990s, has died. He was 86.The Washington without providing further details. Zampese's son, Ken Zampese, is Washington's quarterbacks coach.Zampese joined Don Coryell's San Diego staff in 1979, starting an eight-year run during which Fouts and the Chargers led the NFL in yards pa sing six times. The Chargers made the playoffs the first four years, reaching the AFC championship game twice.After seven seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, Zampese joined the Cowboys in 1994 to direct an offense led by the Triplets of Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin. Dallas beat Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl a year later, and Zampese was in charge of the offense two more years before spending two seasons as New England's offensive coordinator. Zampese ended his career with four seasons as a consultant: two in Dallas (2000-01) and one each with the St. Louis Rams (2002) and Washington (2004).The Pro Football Hall of Fame gave Zampese an award of excellence this summer.Fouts and Aikman are in the Hall of Fame along with Smith, Irvin and a pair of Chargers pa s-catchers in receiver Charlie Joiner and tight end Kellen Winslow.Ernie Zampese was one of the brightest offensive minds in the history of the game, with a picture of Zampese and him at a practice. Many of his offensive concepts are still being used to this day.A day after Commanders rookie Corey Kluber Jersey running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot in what the NFL team described as an attempted robbery or carjacking, Ken Zampese got the news that his dad had died.Some things, obviously internally, we are just praying for our guys, quarterback Carson Wentz said. Were a family and we want to keep Cody Allen Jersey it that way and pray for everybody when theyre going through stuff off the field.Zampese was an a sistant at Cal Poly in 1966 before spending a decade at San Diego State. He broke into the NFL as a scout with the New York Jets in 1977 before moving on to the Chargers. Coryell is a finalist for the Hall of Fame's cla s of 2023.After four years as the receivers coach on Coryell's staff, Zampese was the a sistant head coach in charge of the pa sing game for three seasons, then offensive coordinator for one. He joined the Cowboys after Norv Turner went to Washington as head coach, the same year of the acrimonious split between owner Jerry Jones and coach Jimmy Johnson. Jones hired Barry Switzer, and Dallas lost the NFC championship game to San Francisco in Zampese's first season before winning the franchise's fifth Super Bowl. The Cowboys haven't even reached an NFC title game since the 1995 season.Norv was a student under Ernie, but Ernie is, to this day, is one of the best, if not the best in the busine s, in terms of developing quarterbacks and designing and developing Super Bowl championship offenses, Cowboys executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said on his radio show on Monday.___AP Staff Writers Joe Reedy and Stephen Whyno contributed.___More AP NFL: and in this topic Dallas Cowboys National Football League Carson Wentz Los Angeles Chargers Dallas Cowboys Los Angeles Rams Spain or Morocco?

Deion Sanders was never one to back down Cleveland Indians Hoodie from a challenge during his time with the . That willingne s has appeared to carry over to his "Coach Prime" persona at Jackson State University.Sanders' descended upon Alabama State on Saturday. Jackson State (5-0) prevailed in a 26-12 final, spoiling their host's homecoming festivities.In the aftermath, tensions rose when Sanders met Alabama State head coach Eddie Robinson Jr. (no relation to the late Grambling head coach) for a postgame handshake. Sanders attempted to hug Robinson, who angrily shoved him off, leaving the former Cowboy dumbfounded.Sanders' perplexion carried over to his postgame comments. He claimed to have praised Robinson and his team for "(having) them ready to play," as the Hornets' two-po se sion deficit was only the second under 20 points for a Tigers opponent."My exact words (were), 'Hey man, you had them ready to play. Good game,'" Sanders said, per "Shook hands and tried to embrace and he pushed off. That was it."The incident wasn't enough to kill Sanders' trademark swagger and Francisco Lindor Jersey enthusiasm."It could be a plethora of things," Sanders said when theorizing when things came to a brief blow. "I think he thought he was going to get a win. I don't know why he would've ever thought that.After the incident, Robinson claimed his anger toward Sanders was long-gestating. Sanders made no secret about his excitement about going to Montgomery to serve as the Hornets' homecoming opponent, referring to it as a "money game." That didn't sit well with Robinson, who also claimed that Sanders did not meet him for a pregame conversation at midfield. Traffic delayed Jackson State's arrival, forcing Sanders to, as Tyler Naquin Jersey he put it, "expedite" their pregame activities."I thought there was a lot of disrespect the whole week," Robinson claimed. "We didn't talk in the pregame I was out there the whole time at the 50-yard-line. He walked through our huddle on our end zone, he came the long way around to get to his side during the pregame, thought that wasn't cla sy at all."Scroll to ContinueRobinson further claimed that Sanders "ain't SWAC," acknowledging the work he's done but he wasn't going to let the Hall of Famer's prior accomplishments excuse any perceived rudene s."You're not going to come here Cleveland Indians Jersey and disrespect me and my team and my school and then want to bro hug me," Robinson said. "Shake my hand and get the hell on."Robinson is "praying" that Sanders' succe s at Jackson State doesn't land him a Andrew Miller Jersey job amongst Football Bowl Subdivision's Power 5 ... if only because he'd like to earn personal revenge against his Tigers."We play them next year in Jackson," Robinson noted. "I pray they put us for their homecoming."Sanders and the Tigers put their undefeated record on the line next Saturday on the road against Bethune-Cookman (2 p.m. CT, ESPN+).

The Miami Dolphins will be lending their training facility to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week because of Hurricane Fernando Rodney Jersey Ian, but the storm affected Miami's plans as well.The team will be leaving for Cincinnati early Wednesday morning to try to beat out the arrival of the storm's effects in South Florida.The Dolphins were scheduled to practice at the Baptist Health Training Complex before leaving for Cincinnati, but instead now will just have a walk-through after getting to Ohio.Having to adjust for weather is nothing new for the Dolphins, though it hadn't happened since 2017 when their season opener at home was postponed and they flew to Southern California for a week to prepare for their Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers though we actually could make the argument it happened in the 2018 season opener against Tenne see when two lengthy lightning delays made it the longest game (by clock time) in NFL history.The Dolphins conducted a walk-through Tuesday after not practicing Monday, so their injury report was based on an estimation for a second consecutive day.With that in mind, it was good news that all seven of the practice participation designations that changed did so for the better.Five players went from being listed as "did not participate" to "limited" based on the estimation, starting with QB Tua Tagovailoa (back/ankle). The others were CB Xavien Howard (groin/glute), OL Robert Hunt (shin), S Brandon Jones (chest) and WR Jaylen Waddle (groin).Two others safety Jevon Holland (neck) Kirby Puckett Jersey and tackle Greg Little (finger) went from "did not participate" to "limited."Tackle Terron Armstead (toe) was one of the three players again listed as "did not participate," along with the two tight ends who were inactive against Buffalo, Cethan Carter (concu sion) and Hunter Long (ankle).Four other players were listed as "limited" for a second consecutive day DT Raekwon Davis (knee), CB Kader Kohou (ankle), DL Zach Sieler (hand) and WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ribs/toe).Cincinnati practiced Tuesday and the same three players who were estimated as not practicing Monday did not participate T La'el Collins (back), DT D.J. Reader (knee) and TE Drew Sample (knee).Reports indicating Reader's injury would keep him out of the lineup for some time.The six players who were listed as limited based on the estimation Monday all were listed as full participants CB Eli Apple (ankle), WR Tee Higgins (toe), TE Hayden Hurst (groin) Paul Molitor Jersey , RB Joe Mixon (ankle), LB Germaine Pratt (knee) and TE Mitchell Wilcox (ankle).---------------------------------------------------------------------------Scroll to Continue---------------------------------------------------------------------------In case you've been away from social media or football media since Sunday, there's been an awful lot of chatter about the conditions at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday and what kind of effect it had on the game.ESPN analyst and former Jets and Bills head coach Rex Ryan called the Dolphins' home-field advantage the biggest in the NFL because the team's sideline is in the shade during the afternoon based on the design of Hard Rock Stadium, whereas the visiting sideline remains in the sun.But the best part of the whole thing, though, has to be the new Twitter account we came acro s Tuesday, Hard Rock Sun.The first tweet from the account came Monday Phil Hughes Jersey , but this gem from Tuesday is worth mentioning. Well done.Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah played a key role in the victory against the Bills on Sunday, and it turns out it may have been bigger than first thought.Even though the official Dolphins-Bills gamebook indicates that Tyler Ba s was wide left on his 38-yard field goal attempt early in fourth quarter, an obviously huge play since the Dolphins won by two, special teams Danny Cro sman said Tuesday morning that Ogbah actually got a piece of the ball.It's difficult to tell on the replay whether anybody touched the ball, though it spun very abnormally once it cro sed the line of scrimmage.Cro sman said the play would be sent to the league offices and the stat change would be made to credit Ogbah for the field goal block, which would be the first of his career."A good rush by really the whole club," Cro sman said. "We got good push and obviously Ogbah with those long arms was able to get a piece of that.While we're talking about Cro sman, the "Butt Punt" got some laughs on social media and in the Dolphins locker room after the victory against Buffalo, but the special teams coach did not find it amusing.And that's putting it mildly.Absolutely zero amusement and a 100 Erick Aybar Jersey percent critical mistake that has an opportunity to po sibly lose a football game," Cro sman said. "So, yeah, it will never get any smile from me.The play, which resulted in a safety, put Buffalo in position to win the game with a field goal instead of a touchdown, but the damage was ma sively le sened by the spectacular 74-yard punt unleashed by Thomas Morstead on the free kick, which forced the Bills to begin their final drive at their 23-yard line.

PHILADELPHIA Here are my 10 day-after observations from the Eagles 29-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in monsoon-like weather at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday in Week 4:THE COMEBACKTruth be told, I had already begun writing the story I file at halftime of every game simply recapping the first half and beginning said story with some such lead about how the NFL may be without any more undefeated teams by Sunday evening.Then the defense clamped down on Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence and the offense began to pop off some big runs.Rewrite!SECOND QUARTEROf course, I shouldve known better than to jump the gun like that with the way the Eagles have been able to put up points in the second quarter. Miguel Sano Jersey They scored 20 of them and now have scored 85 of their 115 points scored this season in the second.FOURTH QUARTERFinally, the Eagles put up points in the fourth. I had to double-check it, but Jake Elliotts 28-yard field goal with 13:42 to play in the final quarter was the first points they had scored in the final quarter.They boosted that total to nine fourth-quarter points when Miles Sanders ran one in from five yards away. The PAT throw to DeVonta Smith fell incomplete, but nine points are better than no points in a quarter that will sometime this season, be very important to score in.MILES SANDERSThe running back had the kind of game that earns new contracts.Will that new deal come in Philly?It should.He is probably the most underrated back in the NFL and you hope he can remain healthy for all 17 and beyond this season. The last time the Eagles let an injury-prone player go linebacker Jordan Hicks he Erick Aybar Jersey was able to stay healthy and play 53 straight games since leaving after the 2018 season.Maybe theres a le son there.GROUNDCREW KUDOSIt rained the entire game. Poured at times, too.Yet the field remained pristine, at least from a distance, so a shoutout to those who got it done.SACKSJacksonville had allowed just two in their first three games. The Eagles got four of them and dont look now, but the team that had just 29 last year is up to 16 after four games. And theyre coming from a variety of players.In fact, five players have more than one Haason Reddick 3.5, Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox have three each, Josh Sweat 2.5, and T.J. Edwards two.TURNOVERSThe Jags had only given the ball up once all year. The Eagles forced five turnovers from them. More specifically, QB Trevor Lawrence had all five of them. He became the first player in NFL history to lose four fumbles in a single game. Not even Carson Wentz has done that.Scroll to ContinueThe five takeaways were the most since they had five on Christmas Day, 2017, vs Oakland.The Eagles now have 10 takeaways Joe Mauer Jersey this season. It took them 11 games to force 10 turnovers last year.They were plus-4 on Sunday and now are plus-8 in that category this year.Last year, they ended the season at an even 0, which is an equal amount of takeaways vs. giveaways. That was tied for 16th in the league.Theres a chance they could lead in that department after Monday nights game.A.J. BROWNWhat more needs to be said?How about this: after five catches for Addison Reed Jersey 95 yards in the win, he now has 25 receptions for 404 yards in four games. He entered the weekend with 309 yards which put him fourth among receiving yards leaders behind Stefon Diggs (344), Jaylen Waddle (342), and Tyreek Hill (317).DEPTHThe Eagles lost five players in-game to injury who did not return: Jordan Mailata (shoulder), Darius Slay (forearm), Isaac Seumalo (ankle), and Kyron Johnson and Patrick Johnson (head injuries).Avonte Maddox (ankle) was also ruled out on Friday leading into the game.Backups LT Jack Driscoll, CB Zech McPhearson, RG Sua Opeta, and CB Josiah Scott, stepped in and the Eagles didnt seem to mi s a beat.Thats a credit to the roster GM Howie Roseman has put in place.Nick Sirianni said on Monday that he believes there is a chance all of the injured could play Sunday when the Eagles play in Arizona, though did not want to commit just yet on any exact diagnosis until more tests are done and the week goes on.PUNTER WOESArryn Sipo s booted another one into the end zone for a touchback. He had two of those last week. That kills a punters net and the Australian punter had a net of 35.3 Kirby Puckett Jersey yards on three kicks.You can say it was windy, but the other guy, the Jags Logan Cooke, a 2018 seventh-round pick from Mi si sippi State, had a net of 53.3 yards on three punts.That would seem to spell trouble for the job security of Sipo s, but one thing to keep in mind: he is also the holder for Jake Elliott and Elliott is comfortable with Sipo s.
