In 2013 as a member of the St. Louis Rams, Bradford suffered an ACL tear and missed the entire season. “He looks as good as he’s ever looked”. This comeback win could be a huge morale boost going forward when wins are what the team desperately needs if they want a chance to reach the playoffs.

Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs once told me that one key to his success was knowing his players’ limitations as well as their strengths. But at this point in the year it’s hard to excuse Sturgis’ play.
However, the X-rays were negative as announced by Philadelphia during the fourth quarter. Running back Ryan Mathews was ruled out with a concussion.
By the time halftime rolled around in Miami’s game at Philadelphia on Sunday, the Dolphins’ defense was without three starters – cornerback Brent Grimes (food poisoning), linebacker Jelani Jenkins (ankle) and cornerback Brice McCain (knee). So much for that.
The Philadelphia Eagles is scheduled to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afernoon and a Thanksgiving matchup against the Detroit Lions over the next two weeks.
A simple catch and Murray rumbles into Dolphins territory easily and probably sets up a 1st-and-10 for the Eagles inside Miami 45-yard line with around:50 seconds or so, at the bare minimum.
It’s always easy to put the blame on the kicking team when a team come up short, but whether the snap was low or not, it is absolutely, positively 100% unacceptable for the Eagles’ kicker (remember, out of respect for Steve O, we don’t mention the names of ANY Eagles’ kickers on TMA) to boot a 32-yard field goal attempt.

And that’s bad news for Miami’s upcoming opponents. This should be a remarkable matchup with two teams having contrasting fates in the past couple of games.
