3 things we learned about the Jaguars
At this point, there is one healthy safety on the roster.
Rams safety Mark Barron sacked the 33-year-old quarterback midway through the third quarter and he was pictured leaving the Edward Jones Dome on crutches. Rhodes fell to the turf, motionless for a few moments, before slowly getting up and being helped off the field. These guys don’t want to settle for field goals.
Rob Gronkowski, who didn’t catch a Brady touchdown pass Sunday, delivered the best line. The Giants were 0-2 after their opening two games, and they knew if they slipped to 0-3 their season was nearly guaranteed to be over before it had even got going. This isn’t a game to find some positives, to look at Allen Robinson’s flashes, to box score scout and see 242 yards and two touchdowns to just one interception to Blake Bortles.
The New England Patriots picked up another lopsided win.
Just before half-time Brady found wide receiver Danny Amendola with a one-yard pass to join Peyton Manning (533), Brett Favre (508) and Dan Marino (420) in the exclusive club. That team set the record for most points in a season with 589.
Jacksonville also fumbled its first scoring drive.
The Eagles (1-2) avoided their first 0-3 start since 1999. The Jets and Miami back-to-back at home? On the ground, Dion Lewis had 40 yards and one touchdown in seven attempts. But the Raiders were indebted to a veteran, Charles Woodson, whose interception with 38 seconds on the clock sealed the win. Both were thought capable of having breakout seasons, and in Week 1 they delivered with victories led by huge defensive efforts.
Rhodes was hurt late in the second quarter on a touchdown catch by Keenan Allen, who was open between Rhodes and Sendejo near the left sideline for a 34-yard gain. “We need to learn to play with more precision”. Norman’s leaping snag resulted in the second turnover of the half for New Orleans.
After a turnover on downs by Jacksonville, the merciless Patriots struck again, with a 17-yard pass from Brady to tight end Scott Chandler, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blount. Tom Brady completed 33 of 42 passes for 358 yards and two touchdowns today, as he just completely tore apart the Jaguars’ defense.
Houston’s defense held its opponent below 10 points for the first time this season. He’s only done it once in his career, and it was all the way back in Week 17 of his rookie season in 2006. Julian Edelman caught eight passes for 85 yards. The Jaguars are looking for the biggest upset of the NFL Week 3 schedule.
The win left the Bengals with a 100 percent 3-0 record, while the Ravens are now marooned on the bottom after three defeats. Not surprisingly, 197 of his 401 TDs have been inside 10 yards.
DeAngelo Williams tied the Pittsburgh franchise record for rushing touchdowns in a game when he scored three against San Francisco last week. Mariota had six TD passes in the first two games. “It’s always nice to be able to go out, play with those guys, be able to get into that rhythm, and score some points”. “Danny can do whatever he wants”.
Seattle also overcame a hamstring injury to star running back Marshawn Lynch. On Sunday, they set the National Football League record for most first downs (88) through three games.
The receiver was active for the first time of the season, and made the most of his opportunity. Ron Gronkowski is is in 9 place with 324 receptions.
Week 3 is already crunch time for a number of National Football League teams.
Hes a guy that has the ability to do that every time, Bortles said.
With the victory, Arizona has a two-game lead over the rest of the NFC West.
The Bills tight end got the rout underway as early as the third minute, and Tyrod Taylor threw for 277 yards and three touchdowns to give Joe Philbin plenty to think about on his transatlantic flight on Thursday.
And in Arizona, the Cardinals lead the 49ers 47-7.
