NFL Week 8 Highlights: Impressive Perforamnce On Team Defense

Just hammer away, because if you don’t, you’re going to be stubbing your toe on the floor with the nail coming out.

So, crown the Bengals and guarantee at least a first-round home game. The very first game in 1972, 24-23 and the last game in 2007, 52-7.

It’s nice to win games in September, as those victories build a lead that puts other teams in chase mode. He could be back to old form by the time game against the Patriots rolls around.

So yeah, if you’re a fan of any of those teams be happy, your team has the best odds to go deep in the playoffs and even win it all! They also had six injured players who were inactive.

This will be the 100th matchup between these two teams, and the Dolphins lead the series 57-1-41.

Other teams like the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans have their sights set on the 2016 NFL Draft. Taylor is a vital cog in the Bills plans to progress to the play-offs. Green Bay was exposed on both sides of the ball, although the Packers won’t face a defense as good as Denver’s the rest of the year.

Could this match-up be a preview for the NFC Championship game later in the season?

What I do know is that since a 20-point blowout loss to the Bengals in Week 1, this young team has been absolutely explosive offensively in all but two games – a 22-20 loss to the Chicago Bears and a 16-10 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Week 8 summary: I should have been 5-8-1. Miller, though, believes the Panthers will stay undefeated when the Packers come calling in Carolina Sunday. The Packers lead this series 9-4. All season long, as Denver kept winning games, Manning had been accused of riding his defense; he was a presumed shell of a quarterback, hanging on for one last chance to win a second Super Bowl.

The Broncos improved to 7-0 for the first time since 1998, when they won the Super Bowl after finishing 14-2.

22- Dallas Cowboys- WR Dez Bryant returns, now if they can hold on three more weeks until Romo returns, they might, might be in the mix for a division title. Yes, it could be.

It is a week dictated by ferocious defense that certainly dictates how games are played these days – defensive teams can dictate the pace of the game and push the team for the win. Sanders has only one game with fewer than 65 receiving yards on the season and his consistency makes him a high-floor player. His new BFF is Jeffery. The defense isn’t that good, and Matt Ryan has seemingly regressed a bit, turning the ball over 10 times so far.

The Steelers signed running back Isaiah Pead to take Bell’s spot on the roster.

With his 186 career wins, Manning is tied with Brett Favre for most in league history.

What else happened in this game? Starter DeMarco Murray ranks 42nd with 3.5. Well, that would be Aaron Rodgers, who is everything Manning was in his prime, a brilliant quarterback with pinpoint accuracy who seems capable of carrying his team through virtually any perilous scenario.

Belichick has also not been afraid to pull the trigger on major trades just prior to the season starting. As for the New York Mets, see you in about another 15 years. This is one unsafe combination.

Are we all in agreement about Andrew Luck yet?

The NFL football season is in full swing. Fortunately, the Colts are in the AFC South where they have time to work out the kinks. Thomas finished with eight receptions for 168 yards and was unlucky not to have scored a touchdown.

Now, it’s true that both the Seahawks and Panthers won their first-round playoff games in their sub-.500 division winning seasons. A win for the Vikings would give them their seventh consecutive win at home, the third-longest streak in the NFL. Manning beat that in his first seven games two years ago.

Gurley is taking the National Football League on a roller coaster ride, and the ride has not come down yet. The Titans fired Ken Whisenhunt as coach on Tuesday and hired Mike Mularkey as the interim coach. But despite that, I ended up 11-3 for the week with my picks. Drew Brees and Eli Manning combined to throw for 855 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Colts are a mess, and management will probably hit the reset button at the end of the season. But as of now, Newton’s career-high for touchdown passes in a season is 24.

Minnesota rolled on in its march to the playoffs, Cleveland found another way to lose and Atlanta handed Tampa Bay a win inside the Georgia Dome.
