Two of his tackles went for a loss, and he also had a pass break up and QB hit.

Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott tried to lead the Cowboys to a come-from-behind victory, but saw their comeback bid against the Giants. Lamar Miller had 106 yards rushing, and familiar face DeAndre Hopkins caught Brock Osweiler’s (22/35, 231, 2 TD, INT) other touchdown pass in Osweiler’s Houston debut.
Buffalo’s 11 first downs in Sunday’s 13-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens were its fewest in a game since October 7, 2012 against San Francisco (10).
The high-ankle sprain typically takes multiple weeks to heal, which means Hill would miss several games for the Saints. It was a shootout in New Orleans as the Raiders and Saints combined for 995 yards of total offense. But the Vikings turned to their defense and kicking game to win their first game without quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, rallying from a 10-0 halftime deficit to stop Tennessee.
Minnesota scored two defensive touchdowns in Sunday’s 25-16 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Only the honest would cop to originally thinking Del Rio’s gamble was a mistake, but the truth is the call would have been the right move regardless of whether Michael Crabtree had caught the ball. Carr completed 24 of 38 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown and Brees completed 28 of 42 for 423 and four touchdowns.
The miss came after Garoppolo, in his first National Football League start, directed the Patriots from their own 19 to the Arizona 15 to set up Stephen Gostkowski’s 23-yard field goal for what proved to be the victor with 3:44 to play. Smith had no chance to make up that ground and when Brees deep ball down the left sideline hit Cooks in stride it was an easy 98-yard touchdown – the longest pass play and the longest offensive scoring play in New Orleans history. New Orleans has interest in former Green Bay and Miami tight end Jake Stoneburner, who caught two touchdown passes for the Dolphins last season, knows Dan Campbell well and worked out for the Saints last week.
“Just an old-fashioned miss”, he said. “So, if anything spills you’ll be there to pick it up”. Snead would finish it off with a 1-yard touchdown catch on fourth and goal.
Latavius Murray rushed 14 times for 59 yards and a score, but it was the speed of Jalen Richard that provided a spark.
No Tom Brady, no Rob Gronkowski, no problem.
New Orleans blew a 24-10 third quarter lead as its defense, once again, let the team down. “That’s one of the toughest throws to defend”. We finally got a matchup with (Crabtree) that we wanted. There will be a ton of things we see on film when we make the corrections, but I don’t want to jump to any conclusions.
Thus, the only way to assure that the game was in his offense’s hands was by literally putting the ball in his offense’s hands. Even ESPN Stats & Info said the better statistical call would have been to kick.
Jack Del Rio isn’t known for being an aggressive head coach.
