3 female journalists stopped from entering Jags locker room
National Football League kickers are missing left and right.
A few thrive in the spotlight.
The Colts defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 16-13 in overtime on Sunday. Tampa Bay’s Kyle Brindza missed two field goals and the Eagles’ Caleb Sturgis, in his debut for the team, missed an extra point and a field goal.
The game went to overtime, and Myers got another chance to redeem himself. The Colts were without one of their starting cornerbacks, Greg Toler, and his replacement, Jalil Brown, was injured and left the game – while then Darius Butler was burned quite a bit. All Hasselbeck had to do then was position the ball in the middle of the field for Vinatieri’s chip shot. Hilton had a career-best 233 yards receiving.
It was not a particularly pretty game as the Colts edged Jacksonville 16-13 in overtime.
I don’t want to take anything away from guys like Matt Hasselbeck, Adam Vinatieri, Donte Moncrief, Coby Fleener, Pat McAfee, and others, but let’s face it: the Colts didn’t look that good on Sunday.
Lambo was wide right on a 39-yard attempt with:02 left, but Cleveland’s Tramon Williams was whistled for offside. “I wish we could have played a little crisper”.
Were the two field goal misses critical?
Last week, Houston released kicker Randy Bullock. Wayne’s 80-yard catch allowed Luck to break Manning’s single-season franchise record for yards passing. That makes for a 33-yard kick and eliminates the biggest gimme in sports.
“He made progress all week”, coach Chuck Pagano said. “It just goes back to execution”.
On Sunday, Murray gained 36 yards on eight carries.
The Panthers are guaranteed to remain undefeated through Week 5; they have a week off. Luck returned to his hometown and topped the 300-yard mark for the fourth consecutive game. The Colts led 3-0 with 4:59 left in the first quarter. That’s an National Football League record.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – Aaron Rodgers passed for 224 yards and a touchdown, ran 17 yards to set up a key second-half score, and the Packers are off to their first 4-0 start in four years.
October 4, 2015; Indianapolis, IN, United States of America; Indianapolis head coach Chuck Pagano consoles Colts running back Frank Gore (23) moments after he fumbled close to the goal line in the closing minutes of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium. “He [Hasselbeck] does a great job”.
Hasselbeck deftly managed his first start in almost three years, going 30 of 47 for 282 yards with one TD, no interceptions and fooling the Jaguars’ defence with a late bootleg that put the Colts (2-2) easily in field-goal range.
Hasselbeck was only sorry his family was not there. I was too excited coming out of the tunnel and couldn’t complete a pass to save my life. I needed to chill out.
Atlanta running back Devonta Freeman rushed for three touchdowns in a 48-21 victory over Houston. And yet the Jaguars couldn’t win the game.
“He rode over to the game with me today”, Hasselbeck said of the tight end. “You didn’t have to worry about the result (it was a given) which allowed you to focus on your form and get grooved in during the game”. “Now, I’m going to get back to work this week on the practice field”.
