Cincinnati Bengals: Men In Stripes Recaps London
Norman said that third-year field judge Brad Freeman was “terrible” and needed to be reprimanded for his performance. All four of the teams who played ties this month made the playoffs past year.
But then things went to overtime and neither team managed to score in the extra frame, so the National Football League had its first instance of consecutive weeks with a tie game since 1997.
“I was mad too, like him”, Pogba said of that result. It got loud for our offense.
The Cincinnati Bengals offense looked very good for the second week in a row. Washington enters the Week 9 bye with the odd 4-3-1 record after its first tie since November 23, 1997.
“It sucks to tie”, said nose tackle Domata Peko.
After the 27-27 tilt, Redskins cornerback-and Giants nemesis-Josh Norman didn’t hold back on the officials. The AFC North is in our grasp. First they went for a 4th & 1 at the Bengals 18 yard line only for Kelley to lose his footing on the Wembley turf and be stopped for no gain, then on their next drive they stalled at the 2 and had to kick the field goal just to ensure they took the lead into halftime. Luckily for the Bengals, the Steelers and Ravens face off in week nine. The Bengals’ defense has allowed touchdowns on its opponents’ first drives in four of eight games.
The Patriots then broke the game open by scoring 27 points over five consecutive possessions.
Washington appeared to have the game won with 2:13 left in overtime, but Dustin Hopkins sliced his 34-yard field goal attempt wide left. That’s big. We come over here and play, and I like to show them guys a good time. Andy Dalton threw for 284 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and ran for 21 yards. That’s a lot. Probably 10 yards a completion. Cousins passed 56 times Sunday, completing 38 (67.9 percent), but was sacked just once. “I’ve gotta know”, Norman said, per Mike Jones of the Washington Post. Or where we’re ranked.
– For the Raiders and Buccaneers it was a game of two halves and an overtime session. But we need to rack up some wins.
“It’s unfortunate but we tried to do everything we can to pull out a win”, receiver DeSean Jackson said.
The third quarter was easily the best, with three touchdowns. We weren’t able to make the play. What an absolute waste of time having players take the time to fly to London, just to come home with literally nothing.
But after a Pierre Garcon pass-interference penalty, Washington couldn’t advance the ball far and it came down to a final-seconds “hail mary” pass from the 48 yard line by Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins that didn’t even reach to the end zone. The longest was a 44-yarder to Davis. Sunday’s game was the second 400-yard passing game of Cousins’ career. His propensity to battle through injuries has drawn rave reviews from teammates and coach Jay Gruden, who said of Williams: “Usually he’ll play with just about anything”. He caught nine balls on 12 targets for 102 yards, many of them gained after the catch on short dump-offs, shovel passes or because of broken tackles.
And finally, on a day when much harm was done to a proud Bengals defensive unit, Cousins’ pass floated harmlessly out of bounds. As in, they didn’t do it. Because if you trust, you stay in your leverage and trust the man outside you and inside you. “But he knows and we’ll remind him that we’re all 100 per cent behind him and he’ll make that kick next time”. “They’ll play for three hours, four hours, five hours – if you let them”.
ATLANTA – Matt Ryan threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu with 31 seconds remaining, rallying the Atlanta Falcons to a 33-32 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. “That’s something we all have to do better”.
