NFL ratings soar on 1st Sunday after voting

“It is what it is – if it’s not a (pass interference) to the refs, it’s not a P.I. You can’t change it”. “You usually don’t see that”, Gronkowski said.

“When you’re playing a really good quarterback it takes everything”, Carroll said. “You don’t want to go away from him, so he’ll be under pressure and have to throw across his body farther to you”. “And there’s nobody that would introduce any other issue or any other consideration than doing what it takes to win the game”.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Gronkowski is believed to have suffered a punctured lung on Sunday night after the hit from Thomas seemingly left him dazed and out of breath.

No one got it. Brady’s pass fell incomplete. But he didn’t push me. Chancellor appeared to have forced a fumble on Gronkowski on a similar play in the first half, but it was overturned upon review.

Chancellor said the exact same scenario played out earlier this week in practice, with scout team player Marcus Lucas playing the role of Gronk.

“Oh, yeah, I know I didn’t”, Chancellor told reporters after the game when asked if he did anything wrong.

“That was something we saw on the film study, and of course all of my help was on the inside”, Chancellor said.

The stunning decision to trade Pro-Bowl linebacker Jamie Collins to Cleveland for a draft pick on October 31 cost the Patriots in Sunday’s 31-24 loss to visiting Seattle. “That’s what you’re taught, to get on top of the toes, make a little move and release outside”.

“I think any time a player’s coming back from missing a significant amount of time, there’s a certain buildup process”.

Prescott went 9 for 10 over the final two Dallas drives, standing in the face of the Pittsburgh pass rush like a player who’s been around for more than just a couple of months.

“Because they could tie it we could make it a two-score attempt for them and we could play it differently down the stretch, ” Carroll said.

At the New England 1, Russell Wilson, down four points, throws for Ricardo Lockette at the goal line; New England defensive back Malcolm Butler is there.

Trading blows back and forth the entire contest, fans were treated to an explosion of offense from two teams that have largely been lead by their defenses this season. They’re a good team. Both that game and Cowboys-Steelers had at least seven lead changes, the first time in National Football League history that two such contests happened on the same day, according to Elias. We were just too careless with the ball.

The Patriots (7-2) just aren’t getting big plays on defense. If we miss it at seven points, there’s a 79 percent chance (of winning). The previous three games, the Seahawks had totaled just 130 yards off play-action.

New England coach Bill Belichick later called it “an aggressive call”. But the fact that Seattle trailed by big margins late in already unwinnable games of what was his first season as Seattle’s coach probably played into the decision. “The preparation that we had all week, I thought we prepared at a high, high level”. Give them credit – they made more plays than we did. I mean they called some things they had to call. “We respect the heck out of them, and I think they respect us”. “That’s what we need to do”.

“I’m pretty in tune at this point with my body”, Brady said, via ESPN.
