Donald Trump explains why he no longer thinks Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky
In the past several days, Trump was targeting former USA president Bill Clinton bringing back to light his behavior toward women. Donald Trump’s attacks against Hillary Clinton are entering a new, more personal phase in an already raucous election season.
Cousins equaled his career high with the quartet of touchdown tosses during Washington’s 35-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday that gave the Redskins consecutive wins for the first time in more than a year and allowed them to stay atop the NFC East standings. Washington has won the last two meetings by a combined six points, including on October 4 at FedEx Field (23-20).
BYU introduces Kalani Sitake as new BYU football coach
The Cougars got on the board just before halftime to make it 35-7, and scored three more times before finally running out of time. I mean, BYU did have five turnovers after all, and as I mentioned earlier, Utah’s offense averaged only 3.1 yards per play.
Washington still is not doing much extremely well on offense, but they are playing with a renewed sense of confidence if nothing else.
Pittsburgh Steelers Playoff Chances: Scenario For Steelers And Possible Postseason Opponents
If the Ravens play like they did last week in their upset of the Steelers, this game could be much closer than some expect. The Steelers then settled for a field goal after an apparent 16-yard touchdown catch by Brown was overturned by a replay.
Last time out, the Birds held Washington’s run game in check more or less, but the team’s run defense is something else different about this team. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown for at least 300 yards in each of the last two games and three of the last four. Tight end Jordan Reed leads all receivers with 694 yards in receptions and seven touchdowns.
JERRY RICE: Early in the fourth quarter, Cousins threw a short ball to speedy wideout DeSean Jackson, who spun away from a defensive back and turned it into a 77-yard touchdown play. Alfred Morris is still a really good back.
Doug Green is a Featured Writer for RantSports.com covering the Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL. Murray has averaged 3.4 yards per carry this season, while Mathews touts a 5.3 yards-per-attempt average. While Washington’s real problems with their roster go far beyond just the quarterback position, Cousins is making the biggest impact at the most impactful position on the field. Basically, do not expect either defense to maintain control in this one.
“We’re going to continue to keep building on it”, said Taylor.
Late in the third, the Buffalo Bills kept the momentum going.
For Philadelphia, this season has been the worst season during Kelly’s tenure. TE Jordan Reed has 16 catches for 204 yards and three TDs in last two games…. For Cousins, it’s been mostly about consistency.
S Dashon Goldson: Goldson should be pretty active in the middle in the secondary. Against the Eagles receivers, Goldson should be looked to to break up some plays over the middle. “As a coach, the whole idea of your team is you want to get stronger as the season goes on”, said Jay Gruden in his post game presser.
Bradford has improved since the start of the season as he’s become more familiar with Chip Kelly’s offense and his new teammates. It remains to be seen if that same level of animosity will be there this week with these Eagles having the look of a team that has half checked out on the season. But six other spots remain up for grabs, including the NFC East title.

Jackson agreed, saying: “It was a big play coming out of the half”. Any time that is on your to-do list in Week 16 of the National Football League season, things are not likely going well.
