Suspension upheld for Giants’ receiver Beckham
Numerous parents of those kids have asked since Sunday what they should say to their children about my conduct. On Wednesday, Odell appealed the suspension as it is his right under the collective bargaining agreement.

The Patriots, in breaking a two-game losing streak, led 17-6 at the half and built their advance to 27-6 early in the fourth quarter on James White’s 2-yard TD run.


Peyton Manning held out of practice with foot soreness
Manning returned to practice on Wednesday, the first time in a month that he has been able to go through drills with the team. If Manning’s body is simply deteriorating and he can’t make throws, Kubiak might decide to ride it out with Osweiler.

Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer (7) is sacked by New England Patriots defensive end Akiem Hicks (72) during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015, in Houston. On Sunday night, the Pats faced off against the Houston Texans and suffered two such injuries. While Brock Osweiler had ESPN and others gushing over him after beating the Patriots, the QB came back down to Earth this week with a loss to the Raiders. Jabaal Sheard had strip sacks on Hoyer twice after halftime.

The Patriots sacked Hoyer five times before knocking him out of the game midway through the fourth quarter.

“I would still like to see a sideline camera on that, so that we can get the call right, whatever it is – whether it’s in-bounds or out-of-bounds”. The Indianapolis Colts lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 51-16, so the Texans and Colts remain tied at the top of the AFC South. He wore a cast that enclosed his fingers in a club-like ball.

“It poses some problems, but it wasn’t that bad”, Watt said. If they can’t figure something out, the Patriots will be out of luck in the playoffs and doomed for an early exit in what will be looked back upon as perhaps Brady’s second greatest season of all time.

That ultimately led to a big-picture discussion on the replay angles that coaches have to look at when making those decisions. We were treated to seven straight days of “if the season ended today, the Patriots would be the No. 3 team in the conference” chatter.

Gronkowski set up a touchdown in the first quarter and caught another late in the second to provide the Patriots with what proved to be an insurmountable 11-point lead at the intermission.

With the Texans pinned deep in their own territory, Sheard dropped Hoyer and forced a fumble that defensive tackle Malcom Brown recovered at the Texans 7. Brady converted two third downs with passes to Martin and wide receiver Brandon LaFell, and Gronkowski capped the march with a 1-yard jump ball over Texans safety Quintin Demps. He had a linebacker on him so I thought I’d give him a chance and usually he comes down with those.

The Texans’ Nick Novak nailed a pair of field goals in the first half, from 43 and 45 yards.

New England got a 43-yard field goal early in the second quarter to make it 10-3. His first two-sack game with the Patriots came on October 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.
