Share this: The New England Patriots didn’t lose Sunday night solely because of a final offensive goal-line series in which they gained just 1 yard on four plays, but they trailed the Seattle Seahawks by seven points late in the fourth quarter, and the game fittingly came down to a pass from the 1-yard line. Let’s go through that final offensive series, when the Patriots failed to convert. The Patriots got to the 2-yard line on deep passes from Tom Brady to Julian Edelman (30 yards) and Rob Gronkowski (26 yards). On first and goal with 43 seconds remaining, the Patriots ran a quarterback keeper with Brady in which they admittedly intended not to score. Brady previously had converted on two short-yardage situations earlier

Seahawks-Cardinals ‘Sunday Night Football’ Was The Best Bad Game Ever
Share this: You’re never supposed to ask if things can possibly get any worse. “Sunday Night Football” in Week 7 is why. The NFL is in the midst of a week from hell, in which it finds itself in the middle of another domestic violence fiasco days after Week 6 TV ratings hit their lowest mark in five years. So the worst thing that could’ve happened to the league’s already-dropping ratings was a sloppy, low-scoring game on its ratings darling, “Sunday Night Football.” Sometimes, Karma just has a way of catching up to you. The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals played one of the worst games in the history of football, as both teams failed to score a touchdown in a 6-6 tie. It

Sam Gagner’s Nifty Shootout Goal Lifts Blue Jackets Over Bruins In Preseason Ope…
Share this: The Boston Bruins fought through 65 minutes of timed hockey, but it wasn’t enough to come away from Monday’s preseason opener with a victory. Boston lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a shootout, 3-2, after Sam Gagner’s nifty goal ended things following a scoreless five-minute overtime period. Despite never leading in the game, Boston didn’t find itself playing catch-up for too long, either. After a scoreless first period, Columbus found the net just 2:34 into the second period when Sonny Milano scored a power play goal to give his team a 1-0 advantage. It didn’t take Boston long to answer, though, as Jimmy Hayes took a feed from Jake DeBrusk and Austin Czarnik on a rush to even the score at
