Did NBC’s Camera Wire Cost Raiders Potential Big Play Late In Game Vs. Chiefs?
Share this: Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders didn’t play a very good football game Thursday night, especially on the offensive side of the ball. But upon further review, it appears they may also had a little bit of tough luck. The Raiders lost a pivotal AFC West matchup to the Chiefs 21-13 in what was one of the worst games of Carr’s career. The Oakland QB somehow threw for just 117 passing yards on 41 passing attempts, which seems almost impossible. However, it could have been at least a few more yards and one more completion had it not been for a wire. Replays certainly seem to support a theory that a fourth-quarter pass intended for Amari Cooper actually hit the camera

Here’s a recap of Bruins-Capitals. FORMER PLAYOFF MVP STRIKES EARLY AND OFTENThe Caps needed just 23 seconds to open the scoring.

Stephen Gostkowski Earns AFC Special Teams Player Of The Week Honors
by Zack Cox on Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 11:08AM 2,603 Share this: The 2016 NFL season has been a rough one for Stephen Gostkowski, but the New England Patriots kicker might finally be rounding into form. Gostkowski drilled all four of his field-goal attempts and hit on both of his extra points in Sunday’s 26-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams, earning him AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the second time this season. Gostkowski was the NFL’s most accurate kicker over the previous three seasons, but he’s struggled during the current campaign, missing seven kicks (four field goals, three extra points) through 12 games. Sunday marked just his fifth perfect effort this season. “It’s a start,” Gostkowski said after the game.
