2013 NFL Week 14 Review

WEEK 14 REVIEW

New England’s win over the Cleveland Browns came at a price as Tom Brady had to watch his favorite and best target get carted off  the field with a torn ACL.  After waiting 8 weeks for Rob Gronkowski to come back from a series of surgeries he had on his forearm in the offseason, the Patriots were in a real groove and Tom Brady loved having his big target back.  Gronkowski made a difference and since his return put up 592 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. He will be missed and is wished a rapid recovery.  The game started off in Cleveland’s favor with them leading at halftime 6-0 from 2 Billy Cundiff field goals from 43 and 37 yards. The second half is where the action started. Gary Barnidge scored from 40 yards on a pass from Jason Campbell and they went for 2 points and missed leaving the score at 12-0.  Stephen Gostkowski was able to put points on the board with a 33 yard field goal with 1:37 left in the third quarter. After the ensuing kick off, the Browns had the ball at the 20 yard line when Campbell connected with Josh Gordon for an 80 yard touchdown a mere 12 seconds after the field goal and the quarter ended. With little time taken off the clock, New England moved the ball quickly and Shane Vereen scored a touchdown with 6 seconds left in the third quarter.  Deep in the fourth quarter, Gostkowski kicked a field goal from 50 yards after which the Patriots still trailed 19-14.  The Browns countered a couple of minutes later with a touchdown pass to Jordan Cameron from 4 yards and the lead was now 26-14 with 2:39 remaining in the game.  Tom Brady quickly moved his team into position and threw a 2 yard pass to Julian Edelman for a touchdown with 1:01 left in the game. The Patriots recovered the onside kick and Brady connected with Danny Amendola from 1 yard out for a touchdown with just 6 seconds left. They were unable to complete the 2 point conversion but the New England Patriots won the game 27-26.

The Denver Broncos entered the game on Sunday with the knowledge that Petyon Manning had not performed well when the temperature was below 40 degrees and at game time, the temperature at Mile High Stadium was 15 degrees and that was the high.  In a busy first quarter, the Titans were first on the board with a 1 yard touchdown run from Shonn Greene.  Peyton Manning connected with Wes Welker for his 10th touchdown reception of the season and now the Denver Broncos have 4 players with 10 or more touchdowns which is a new record.  27 seconds later Chris Johnson scored on a 3 yard run and the Broncos trailed 14-7.  Matt Prater made a 25 yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining in the first quarter and the Broncos trailed 14-10. Half way through the second quarter, Shonn Greene scored another touchdown from 28 yards out.  Manning then connected with Julius Thomas on his first game back from injury and the score was 21-7 with the Broncos still trailing.  With 3 seconds left on the clock, John Fox gave Matt Prater a shot at attempting a 64 yard field goal. The previous longest field goal ever was 63 yards, a feat accomplished 4 times in history. In frigid conditions, Prater got a good snap and the hold was perfect and he drove the ball and made the record setting field goal forever putting his name in the record books and giving kickers of tomorrow a new goal to shoot for.  In the third quarter, the Broncos would score two more touchdowns and the Titans would put one on the board as well and the Broncos had the lead 34-28 going into the fourth quarter.  The Broncos went on a tear and put up 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to win the game 51-28.  Once again, Peyton Domination.

The Philadelphia Eagles improved their record when they beat the Detroit Lions in Week 14.  The game was played in difficult conditions to say the least and at gametime, the field already had an inch of snow and it was coming down dropping more than 8 inches by half time.  At the end of the first quarter the game was locked at zero and nobody was able to move the ball. Detroit scored a touchdown when Joique Bell ran in from 2 yards out. With the conditions, the Lions went for 2 points and were successful and led 8-0 at the half. The Lions scored a touchdown on a  punt return from 58 yards out and it looked like they might have a significant lead with the conditions and difficulty in moving the ball. That quickly changed as Nick Foles connected with DeSean Jackson for a touchdown from 19 yards out and they missed their 2 point attempt and the Lions  lead was cut to 8 points again. In the fourth quarter, LeSean McCoy put on a show scoring from 40 yards and the Eagles converted their 2 point conversion so the score was now tied at 14 with nearly a whole quarter to play. On the ensuing kick off, Jeremy Ross who ran back the punt in the second quarter, this time ran back the kickoff and scored from 98 yards on the kick return. The Lions went for the point after and it was blocked and the Lions led 20-14. About a minute later LeSean McCoy ran and scored again but this time from 57 yards and they made their 2 point conversion and it was now 22-20 and the Eagles led for the first time all day. From there Nick Foles ran in a touchdown and with 2:58 remaining and Chris Polk scored from 38 yards out and the Eagles beat the Lions 34-20.  In the game, Nick Foles threw his first interception of the season.

2013 NFL Week 13 Review

WEEK 13 REVIEW

The 10-1 Seattle Seahawks came to play when they faced the 9-2 New Orleans Saints at home in Week 13. The entire first quarter was dominated by the Seahawks scoring a 22 yard field goal half way through the quarter. Less than 1 minute later they scored again on a fumble recovery from 22 yards out. With 1:55 left in the first quarter, Russell Wilson connected with Zach Miller for a 2 yard touchdown and the Seahawks led the Saints 17-0.  The Saints were able to drive the ball in the second quarter and Drew Brees connected with Jimmy Graham from 2 yards out giving the Saints a touchdown and what would be their only score of the game.  The Seahawks dominated the ball for the rest of the game scoring a field goal and 2 more touchdowns handing the New Orleans Saints their third loss of the season and taking the Seattle Seahawks to 11-1 and the best record in the NFL with the Playoffs looking like they will be going through Seattle this year.

The New England Patriots faced off with the Houston Texans in a game thought to be dominated by the Patriots.  In the first quarter, Ben Tate scored from 8 yards out and the Texans were up 7-0. Randy Bullock added to their lead by kicking a 43 yard field goal with 4:10 remaining in the first quarter.  Tom Brady marched the ball down the field and connected with his favorite target, Rob Gronkowski for a 23 yard touchdown and the quarter ended with the Texans leading 10-7.  After going back and forth in the second quarter, Ben Tate ran the ball in from 20 yards giving the Texans a 17-7 lead at half time.  Early in the third quarter, James Develin ran in a touchdown from 1 yard out and the score was 17-14.  A few minutes later, Tom Brady was connected with Shane Vereen from 9 yards out and the Patriots got their first lead of the game.  The Texans countered with a touchdown of their own with a 5 yard run by Quarterback Case Keenum from 5 yards and the third quarter ended with the Texans on top again 24-21.  Shortly into the fourth quarter, LeGarrette Blount scored a touchdown from 7 yards out and the Patriots were on top again 28-24.  Two minutes later, the Texans scored a touchdown of their own when Ben Tate ran in his 3rd of the day from 10 yards putting the Texans up 31-28.  In pure Patriots fashion, Tom Brady moved the team into field goal position and they were able to tie the game with a 53 yard field goal from Stephen Gostkowski with 7:16 remaining in the game.  The Texans were unable to capitalize on their next drive and punted and the Patriots were able to connect on another 53 yard field goal from Gostkowski putting the Patriots in the lead 34-31 and giving them their 9th win of the season.

The Denver Broncos faced the Kansas City Chiefs for the second time in 3 weeks, this time in Kansas City.  The Chiefs scored first on a 17 yard pass from Alex Smith to Junior Hemingway.  In the second quarter, Peyton Manning connected with Eric Decker for 41 yards tying up the game at 7.  On the ensuing kick off, Knile Davis ran back the Bronco kick off 108 yards for a touchdown which was the longest ever in Chiefs history.  A few minutes later, the Chiefs scored again with a 12 yard reception by Anthony Fasano giving the Chiefs a 21-7 lead.  Knowshon Moreno scored a 3 yard touchdown with a pass from Manning with 4:16 left in the first half.  The Broncos took the kickoff in the second half and marched down the field and capped off the drive with a 37 yard pass to Eric Decker tying up the game at 21.  Decker scored another touchdown in the third quarter from 15 yards out and the Broncos led the Chiefs 28-21 at the end of three quarters.  The Broncos scored again early in the fourth quarter with another pass from Peyton Manning to Eric Decker giving Decker his 4th touchdown of the game and the Broncos a 35-21 lead.  Eric Decker had a huge day catching 8 passes for 174 yards and 4 touchdowns averaging 21.8 yards per reception.  The Chiefs were able to put another score on the board with a 1 yard run from Jamaal Charles but ended up losing at home 35-28 and giving the Broncos a distinct advantage in the Playoff picture at 10-2 and winning both division games against the Chiefs.

2013 NFL Week 10 Review

WEEK 10 REVIEW

This week the Denver Broncos started where they left off before the bye week with their power house offense led by Peyton Manning. Manning continues to maneuver his offensive unit down the field with regularity and ease. The San Diego Chargers trailed the Broncos 21-6 at the half and put up 14 points in the second half but it was not enough to overcome the Broncos losing 28-20. In the game Peyton Manning threw 3 Touchdowns to his seemingly new favorite receiver Demaryius Thomas who now has 9 receiving Touchdowns this season. With that, the Denver Broncos now have 3 receivers with 9 Touchdowns each accounting for 27 of Manning’s 33 passing Touchdowns this season. At the very end of the game there was a scary moment as a low tackle took Manning down and he was visibly hobbled as he limped around. An MRI on Monday showed he did not further injure his ankle and should be ready to go when the Broncos face the undefeated and well rested Kansas City Chiefs coming off of their bye week.

Nick Foles once again led the Philadelphia Eagles in the place of injured Quarterback Michael Vick who is still nursing a sore hamstring. Foles and the Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers 27-13 and Foles picked apart the Eagles secondary finding his new favorite target Riley Cooper for another 2 Touchdowns and 102 yards receiving. The rushing game of the Eagles was suppored mainly by LeSean Jackson who posted 155 rushing yards averaging 6.2 yards per carry. The win brings the Philadelphia Eagles to 5-5 for the season and still in good position in the NFC. It is hard to believe that Foles could lose the starting job back to Michael Vick when his hamstring is healthy at this point but crazier things have happened in the NFL. Foles is proving to be a tremendous asset and has played in 7 games throwing for 1,256 yards and 16 Touchdowns with 0 Interceptions so far this year.

On Thursday, it looked like the Washington Redskins would beat the Minnesota Vikings when the game went to half-time with the Redskins leading 24-14.  The Vikings came back with  a vengeance in the second half scoring 20 points while holding the Redskins to just 3 points in the half. The Redskins ended up losing the game 34-27 leaving the Washington Redskins at 3-6 for the season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Jacksonville Jaguars both posted their first wins of the 2013 season in Week 10. The Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 29-27 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Miami Dolphins handing them their 5th loss of the season.

The Baltimore Ravens beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Overtime 20-17. The first half was dominated by the Bengals as they shut out the Ravens with 17 unanswered points. The pep talk in the Ravens locker room and adjustments made at halftime proved to be more than the Bengals could handle and the Ravens scored 3 points in the third quarter and another 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to tie the game and force it into overtime. The Ravens moved the ball and Justin Tucker scored the game winning Field Goal when he booted the ball 46 yards through the uprights for the win giving the Baltimore Ravens their 4th win of the season and taking the Cincinnati Bengals to 6-4 just past the halfway point in the season.
