Share this: The Seattle Seahawks defended their home field in Saturday’s NFC Wild Card Game earning a dominant 26-6 win over the Detroit Lions. Running back Thomas Rawls powered the Seahawks offense, carrying the ball 27 times for 161 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Russell Wilson led the Seattle offensive attack through the air, completing 23 of 30 pass attempts for 224 yards and two touchdowns. One-handed touchdown catches seemed to be the theme of the night for the Seattle offense. The first one came via Paul Richardson, who hauled in a ridiculous touchdown despite being interfered with by Lions defensive back Tavon Wilson. Doug Baldwin followed Richardson’s act and might have stolen a touchdown catch from teammate Jermaine Kearse. The Lions offense struggled to get

Dion Lewis Impressing Bill Belichick In Pass Protection Despite Small Stature
by Zack Cox on Tue, Jan 3, 2017 at 2:46PM 1,223 Share this: When Dion Lewis is on the field, his job typically is either to carry the ball or catch passes. But New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick also has been impressed with the job the diminutive running back has done in pass protection. “It’s definitely been a catch-up area for him,” Belichick said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “But he’s worked hard to do that, and I think a lot of pass protection — I mean, those backs are almost always giving up some size unless it’s a secondary blitzer. They’re usually giving up some size to the linebackers and occasionally when they have to block a defensive end or
Michael Floyd Delivers Block Of The Year To Spring Julian Edelman For Touchdown
by Zack Cox on Sun, Jan 1, 2017 at 3:11PM 2,889 Share this: Julian Edelman scored the longest touchdown of his career Sunday afternoon, with a major assist from New England Patriots teammate Michael Floyd. During the third quarter of a game against the Miami Dolphins, Edelman hauled in a pass from quarterback Tom Brady near his own 30-yard line, broke one tackle and barreled upfield. Tony Lippett appeared to have a bead on the shifty Patriots wideout, but Floyd came out of nowhere to demolish the Dolphins cornerback with a thunderous block. Floyd’s hit cleared the road for Edelman, who sprinted the final 50 yards untouched for a 77-yard touchdown. Floyd also caught a touchdown pass earlier in the game, his first since the Patriots
Dez Bryant Makes Ridiculous One-Handed Catch In First Half Vs. Lions
Share this: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant hasn’t put up the numbers that we are used to seeing from him in the past, but he provided a reminder of how talented he is during the Cowboys’ game against the Detroit Lions on “Monday Night Football.” Bryant and the Cowboys were trailing by seven near the end of the first half when quarterback Dak Prescott threw one up for the star receiver to make a play on. The Dallas star had Lions cornerback Johnson Bademosi draped all over him, but was still able to make this incredible one-handed catch. Bademosi was flagged for pass interference on the play, but Bryant hauled in the pass anyway. The touchdown catch was Bryant’s 66th as a Cowboy,
Patriots-Jets Takeaways: New England’s Cornerbacks Nearly Perfect In Win
The New England Patriots’ pass defense embarrassed New York Jets quarterbacks and receivers Saturday on the way to a 41-3 victory.

Patriots QB Tom Brady Gives Positive Injury Update Following Win Over Jets
Share this: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasn’t at his best Sunday against the New York Jets, but he was good enough to propel his team to a comeback win on the road against a hated rival. Despite being bothered by an ailment that landed him on the injury report as questionable entering Week 12, Brady completed 30 of 50 pass attempts for 286 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions versus the Jets. His late fourth-quarter touchdown pass to rookie wideout Malcolm Mitchell sealed a 22-17 win. So, how is Brady feeling a day later? He provided an update during his weekly appearance on Westwood One radio with host Jim Gray. “I expect it to heal,” Brady said Monday night. “I’m a pretty
Pat McAfee Channels Conor McGregor After Fake Punt Completion For Colts
Share this: Pat McAfee has one of the more colorful personalities in the NFL, and the Indianapolis Colts punter showed it off Thursday night during his team’s Thanksgiving game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. McAfee picked up a big first down for Indy by completing the ol’ fake punt pass for a big gain. McAfee channeled Conor McGregor (and Vince McMahon) with that swagger walk after the play, too. Unfortunately, that was the only bright side for the Colts, who turned the ball over on downs inside the opposing 5 yard line twice and only could muster seven points in a 28-7 loss.
