Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defeat Philadelphia Eagles at the Linc
Goodell took part in a question-and-answer session with 75 selected season-ticket holders in the morning at the team’s preview center across from the construction site. The Eagles now own the tiebreaker over NY. He joined Matt Stafford, who did it for the Detroit Lions in 2009, and Ray Buivid, who did it for the Chicago Bears in 1937. He is well on his way to justifying the No. 1 overall pick the Bucs used on him. The Cowboys’ Matt Cassel threw three touchdown passes and completed 66 percent of his attempts against them.

Denver improved to 8-2.
Utilizing Darkwa and third-down back Shane Vereen (36 catches and 301 rushing yards) more frequently might revitalize the rushing attack. Oakland still trails 9-7. Both were in the first half. “It was just a great day all around”.
The team paid homage to the nine-time Pro Bowl free safety Sunday at halftime of its game against the Rams.
Martin also came just shy of breaking the record for rushing yards in a game against the Eagles.

Winston, on the march leading to his fifth TD pass and a 35-14 lead, was in the grasp of Cox when he performed the switcheroo.
The four TDs is a franchise record.
Sensational rookie quarterback Jameis Winston is one of the reasons why the Bucs are looking much better, and he’ll be the key figure if they want to win consecutive games for the first time in a couple of years.
Running back Doug Martin powered the Bucs attack with 235 yards on the ground, 177 in the decisive first half.
It was a miserable day at the Linc as the Eagles were blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Joe Hawley (68), Mike Evans and Russell Shepard (89) celebrate after Evans’ touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, November 22, 2015, in Philadelphia. Winston became the third quarterback since the merger to pass for five touchdowns against the Eagles, joining Eli Manning and Joe Montana. In the second quarter, the Eagles scored on a 32-yard screen to Darren Sproles to cut the Tampa lead to 21-14. Defensively, Philadelphia is allowing 20.4 points and 358.1 yards per game.

If Brad Wing’s facemask penalty hadn’t set up the Saints for a game-winning field goal in New Orleans? Sure, the Eagles had the same number of wins, but they were home, they have more experience and they were supposed to win. Left guard Justin Pugh should be over his illness and back to stabilize the offensive line, and Larry Donnell, who missed two games with a neck injury, will add a down-the-seam weapon at tight end. He returned to practice on Thursday and has officially been listed as questionable for this weekend’s matchup. Hopefully his fumble on the Eagles first drive is a blip and not the start of a trend. But the way Eli Manning sees it, this Giants season can still be a special one.
When it comes to personnel, the decision to make E.J. Biggers a mainstay as the slot cornerback while second-round draft choice Eric Rowe watched from the sidelines is either a questionable in-game personnel decision or an indictment on the talent evaluation process that led to the Eagles moving up to draft the defensive back out of Utah in the second round this spring.
Peyton Manning’s longtime backup Brock Osweiler is preparing to make his first National Football League start today in Chicago.
READY IN RELIEF: Happy 25th birthday, Brock Osweiler.
Manning stayed behind in Denver to continue getting treatment on a variety of injuries. That’s the third best two-game output of his career.
