Caldwell flip-flopped on decision to fire coaches in matter of hours

He’s from South Florida and I get to know quite a few of these prospects as they’re getting ready for the draft. “So, I didn’t try to run under it. Usually, I just try to run under it. I was just trying to lay out for it”. More importantly the Vikings won their first road game of the season.

PROTECTION PROBLEMS: Detroit still has major problems on its offensive line. The rookie had six receptions for 108 yards, giving him 19 catches for 324 yards in three games after being inactive for the first three games.

“I don’t think defenses look at statistics for the season that says they’re averaging 160 yards per game passing”, Turner said.

“It’s going to be tough to tell you right now”, Stafford said Sunday night. “Even (Saturday) at our walkthrough, when everyone was at walking tempo, he was running at full speed”. After his flawless first quarter, Stafford went 12-for-20 for 137 yards while being sacked seven times in nine possessions. Minnesota had a season-high seven sacks, which also was a season worst for Detroit.

Jim Caldwell, the head coach, was asked if maybe that was a good idea. It was an offense that allowed Drew Brees to put up top quarterback numbers in the NFL. The Lions came out on fire, marching down the field on their first two drives, and when the first quarter ended the Lions had a 14-3 lead. I’m referring to myself and my fellow colleagues that attended camp and studied preseason and saw what we thought would be a very good team that was ready to take the next step. They had 8 yards in the second period and minus-1 in the third.

HOUSTON – Texans running back Arian Foster is out for the season with an Achilles tendon injury, a significant blow for a 2-5 team that was just blown out for the second time this season. He produced one winning season, in 1999. They looked poised to score a touchdown before the 2-minute warning, and with two timeouts remaining, they had a decent chance to get the ball back.

Blair Walsh answered his doubters question with five field goals (37, 53, 51, 35, 22).

The Vikings’ only turnover in 75 offensive plays was a botched exchange between Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson, and Bridgewater finished his year against the Lions with zero interceptions and two victories.

Peterson was questionable Saturday with an illness, though he never was in jeopardy of not playing. The television announcers said Peterson swallowed a wad of chewing tobacco on the flight from Minneapolis to Detroit.

After Stafford’s incompletion on fourth down, the Vikings took an intentional safety to avoid having to punt out of their own end zone.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs has become a hot fantasy football pickup because of his impressive ability to come down with the ball in the Minnesota Vikings offense.
