The winning team in the last four games between the Giants and the Saints has scored at least 48 points, marking the first time in National Football League history two opponents have had such high-output victories against each other.

Benched in his Raiders debut after giving up three completions totaling 172 yards, the eight-year veteran was none the worse for wear in addressing the worst day of his professional life. “We got Eli Apple and (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and I think we can match up across the board with anybody so long as we play within the system and play within the scheme”. I was costing our team points so coach did what he had to do. I obviously would’ve loved to have stayed in and fight it out. “But you know what, I leave on good terms”, Spiller told ESPN’s Josina Anderson. I know our defense would take exception to that and I’m certain that theirs would as well.
“He’s a big boy”. It’s all going to come together at some point.
Per Pro Football Focus, Smith gave up four receptions on six targets for 183 yards (the most surrendered by a cornerback on Kickoff Weekend) and his yards per cover snap of 6.78 was the second worst of any cornerback in Week 1.
It all added up for an overall grade of 40.3, which ranked 87th among cornerbacks.
A strength of Brees’ has been getting the ball out of his hand quickly.
On this particular play, coming just moments after the Raiders had pinned the Saints at the 2-yard line on punt, Cooks did both. The 25-yarder to Michael Thomas.
But then came the fourth quarter.
Are you surprised by any of these connections, and do you see them having any affect on Sunday’s game? And twice the winning team has scored more than 50 points.
Sean Smith faced the music Tuesday, and as far as he’s concerned, the song remains the same. Put simply, as evidenced in Week 1 against the Raiders, you can’t fix a defense that struggled as badly as New Orleans did in 2015 over just a single offseason no matter how many new players you bring in.
“I wasn’t here previous year”, Pierre-Paul said, via Howie Kussoy of the New York Post. Says a lot about how much Del Rio believes in his guys. It’s one game. It’s not going to define myself, my career or this season. It’s over. It’s just like any other job. “I’m pretty sure in the ext day or so, me and my agent will start getting in to it”.
“You play the game as it unfolds”, McAdoo said.
“It’s insane how he’s getting better every year”, Casillas said. He really is. He’s so smart, and some days it’s going to be like that.
Smith, who had 41 pass breakups and five interceptions during his three years in Kansas City, had no qualms with the decision.

“That’s what we’re stressing”, defensive tackle Justin Ellis said. “So, I definitely don’t have any hard feelings”. “I’m not going to lie to you”, Smith said, via CSN Bay Area. I had a pair that I’ve since college, I think some Sol Republics. “That would’ve been a rough ride home (with a loss)”.
