Female sports writers denied entry to Indianapolis Colts locker room
And they needed to return to their coverage roots and did — each cornerback was trusted to check their man instead of retreating into a zone.
“I’m very, very proud of Matt and what he did”, Chuck Pagano said after Hasselbeck’s 153 career start.
Three female reporters were temporarily blocked from entering the Jacksonville Jaguars locker room after Sunday’s game in Indianapolis.
Each team kicked a first-quarter field goal – Vinatieri hitting from 54 yards with 4:59 left in the period and Myers from 20 yards at the 2:49 mark after Bortles completed passes of 26 and 48 yards. “We’re talking about all these things that led to that”. They were never in the game.
Luck has been listed as questionable this week because of a right shoulder injury. The Jaguars were penalized six times for 47 during the opening half…
Luck had not missed a single snap because of an injury in his four seasons in the NFL.
Indianapolis Colts’ Frank Gore (23) runs out of the tackle of…
Adam Vinateri continued to prove he’s one of the best kickers of all-time as he went a ideal 3-for-3 for field goals, drilling a 54-yarder and then in overtime delivering the game-winning 27-yarder.
Vinatieri didn’t miss his chance. That leaves the Houston Texans, who are going through a quarterback crisis of their own (again) and got waxed by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, falling behind 42-0 before scoring three garbage-time touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
The Tennessee Titans could pose a future threat if rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota develops, but the Colts have already dispatched of them on their home field.
The tables were turned Sunday, with Dolphins Coach Joe Philbin trying to save his job – and win a game, of course – with a strong performance in London.
Week two was sort of a back down to earth game for Mariota and the Titans as the Browns created mass pressure for the former Heisman Trophy victor, forcing a couple fumbles and sacking him seven times in the 28-14 Titan loss. It was the Colts’ NFL-record tying 15th consecutive division victory.
Hasselbeck took advantage of the field position to drive Indy for the winning score.
A end-of-first-half drive to the Colts 16 also ended with a field goal. After Davis, there is a huge drop in talent and production; and even he gave up a big pass interference penalty that could’ve proven costly.
The Raiders (2-2) grabbed the lead on a field goal by Sebastian Janikowski with just over two minutes remaining that was set up by an interception by Charles Woodson deep in Oakland territory. They cleaned up on the holding penalties and made the right plays in timely moments to help the Colts to victory.
Said linebacker Telvin Smith, who had one of the two personal fouls: “We have to learn how to manage those”. “I wish we could have played a little crisper”.
The Jaguars didn’t capitalize Sunday, they just caved.
