Share this: UPDATE (12:05 a.m. ET): The crazy ending to the first half ended up costing the Buffalo Bills. The Bills could have made a field goal at the end of the half Monday night, but a controversial no-call on Richard Sherman and a delay of game resulted in an ugly kick from Dan Carpenter. That proved especially costly because the Bills had the ball in the red zone in the final minute down by six points. They ultimately couldn’t find the end zone, but they wouldn’t have needed to if they got the field goal earlier. So the Seattle Seahawks dodged a bullet to win 31-25. Will the same happen Sunday night against the New England Patriots? ORIGINAL STORY: Even when we finally get

Share this: Second quarter, 1:47, Patriots 14-7: The Patriots blew an opportunity to have scores to end and begin the half. They were forced to punt after a drop by Edelman. Even if Edelman had caught the ball, right guard Shaq Mason was flagged for holding. Second quarter, 4:42, Patriots 14-7: The Steelers wasted a scoring opportunity with a missed field goal, giving the Patriots the ball at their own 24-yard line. A holding call brought back a touchdown pass from Landry Jones to Darrius Heyward-Bey. The Steelers had a chance to make this one very interesting. Second quarter, 8:10, Patriots 14-7: The drive went poorly for the Patriots. Brandon Bolden dropped a sure-first down on third down and Ryan Allen’s punt went off the side of his foot and
Patriots Are Interception-Free, But Alarming Fumble Total Is Concerning
by Zack Cox on Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 2:03PM 1,131 Share this: The New England Patriots made it through Tom Brady’s Deflategate suspension without their backup quarterbacks throwing a single interception. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is the Patriots are fumbling the ball at their highest rate in years. Including special teams, New England has put the ball on the ground an NFL-most 12 times through four games, including three fumbles by quarterback Jacoby Brissett and two each by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, running back LeGarrette Blount and wide receiver Danny Amendola. For context, the Patriots have fumbled more than 17 times in an entire season just once since 2006. They did so 27 times in 2013, with 10 of them being charged to quarterback Tom Brady. No

Patriots rookie QB Jacoby Brissett had his head bounce off the turf after a late slide but didn’t come out of the game. Third quarter, 14:07, Bills 13-0: The Patriots forced a punt after a three-and-out from Buffalo. They gave up just 2 yards on a pass to McCoy. The Patriots now have the ball on their own 24-yard line. End half, Bills 13-0: This is about as bad as anyone could have expected the Patriots to look today. The defense has been a sieve, letting up 251 yards, and their offense has just
LeGarrette Blount Has Been Much-Needed Workhorse For Patriots This Season
by Zack Cox on Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 1:41PM 1,668 Share this: With the amount of attention that’s been paid to New England’s quarterback situation, it’s easy forget the Patriots’ No. 1 running back also has yet to see the field this season. They haven’t needed him so far. With Dion Lewis sidelined until at least Week 7 after undergoing a second knee surgery, LeGarrette Blount has thrived as the Patriots’ feature back, leading all NFL rushers in rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns through three games. Blount has been especially explosive following quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder injury, carrying the ball 43 times for 207 yards and three touchdowns since Garoppolo went down late in the second quarter of New England’s Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. “We really
Bill Belichick Talks Up Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins’ ‘Explosive’ Offense
by Zack Cox on Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 11:15AM 709 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The Miami Dolphins ranked near the bottom of the NFL in both yards and points last season, but Bill Belichick isn’t taking their Ryan Tannehill-led offense lightly ahead of Sunday’s matchup at Gillette Stadium. As he is wont to do, the New England Patriots head coach spoke highly of his team’s next opponent in his Wednesday news conference. “(Miami’s offense is) explosive,” Belichick said. “They’ve got a lot of big-play receivers — (DeVante) Parker, (Kenny) Still, (Jarvis) Landry. They’ve got a good tight end. The backs are really good. They have really good depth at running back. “(Arian) Foster is a very hard guy to tackle. He’s got tremendous balance, gets a
Beşiktaş grateful for their ‘young Rivaldo’
Likened to a "young Rivaldo" by his Beşiktaş team-mates, Talisca's 93rd-minute free-kick leveller at Benfica was a goal the Brazilian great would have been proud of.On loan from Benfica at the Black Eagles, Talisca – a second-half substitute in the Group B opener – sensed his moment as the game moved into added-time, with Beşiktaş trailing 1-0. Ricardo Quaresma noted Talisca's hunger when Benfica were awarded a free-kick in a dangerous position. "When I picked up the ball, he asked me if he could hit it; he was feeling confident," the UEFA EURO 2016 winner recalled. "He strikes a good dead ball and I was
