The chances for rain and snow on Thursday will diminish through the day with mainly dry but cold temperatures on Christmas Day . If you’re traveling across the country by air expect a wet east coast, however despite the areas of rain it will be very mild.
“We didn’t see a whole lot to be excited about”, coach Lovie Smith said.
Afghan troops rushed to area under Taliban attack
The town is an important poppy-growing area and sits on lucrative transport routes for drugs and weapons. The expected winter lull in fighting has not yet taken place in the warmer southern provinces.
Coach Jeff Fisher stopped well shy of an endorsement for next season on Friday, a day after Keenum had a near-perfect passer rating of 158 in a 31-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Doug Baldwin, Cliff Avril not among 7 Seahawks voted to Pro Bowl
He averages 13.9 yards per catch and has helped the Seahawks put on an incredible show for fans during the month of December. The seven players invited also tied Arizona and New England for the second-most behind the 10 for undefeated Carolina.
“In these situations, the quarterback has to show up to play”, Winston said.
I’m heading to Memphis for a mini reunion with old friends from summer camp this weekend, and a couple of us chose to stop in St. Louis on the way to go to the Rams-Bucs game on Thursday night. Keenum and Kenny Britt would connect on a 60 yard bomb early in the first quarter, and would also connect with the likes of Jared Cook and Lance Kendricks.
The Buccaneers owned the ball for more than seven minutes to open the second quarter, but got nothing as running back Doug Martin was stuffed for a two-yard loss by defensive tackle Aaron Donald on 4th-and-one at the St Louis 23. But it still can’t generate pressure with any consistency, allowing Case Keenum to have his way with the Tampa Bay secondary.
St. Louis wide receiver Tavon Austin scored touchdowns on the ground and in the air, while running back Benny Cunningham supplied an electrifying 102-yard kickoff return to set up kicker Greg Zuerlein’s 19-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. “Our offensive line did a great job tonight”.
What Happened: The Rams started out fast in this one and didn’t let up until halftime. As we said way back in April, we’re drafting Todd to be our future. They did. But that’s what you get to do when you build up a huge lead early on. Win.
The Tampa Bay defense tried to take away the run and was successful for the most part by limiting St. Louis to 98 yards and a 3-yard average a week after they piled up 203 yards against Detroit.
The Bucs did defended their position well by containing Rams rookie Todd Gurley for 21 carries, 48 yards. And though no one doubts that Omalu’s diagnosis of Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster was pivotal in understanding football’s dangers, fellow researchers say Omalu goes too far when he publicly takes credit for naming or discovering CTE. As noted at NFL.com, however, the fans’ pleas to keep the Rams in St. Louis was more noteworthy than any play of the game. Down 28-13 with 10:34 left in the game, the Bucs moved down the field but absolutely imploded in the red zone. From my standpoint, that’s a competitive advantage. You could see the signs they had. This could have been the Rams’ last home game in St. Louis, as there are prevalent rumors swirling about moving the team to L.A.
While 1,000 rushing yards is a mark that has lost some of its luster in recent years, it looks like more of an accomplishment this year than it has recently.
