I’ll have my helping of crow please. Cheap jersey, I didn’t think there was any way the Buffalo Bills would beat the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday, especially without Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby. The idea of the Bills, coming off of two painful losses, and beating one of the NFC’s elite teams, was crazy to me.
Beating the Cardinals is a huge accomplishment, and fans should be proud this week. Wear those shirts, jerseys, and hats with that Buffalo logo on it proudly, because that was a great win over a great team.
The Bills, in the first game since Anthony Lynn took over as OC, dominated Arizona for a full 60 minutes using the formula they’ve tried to build themselves on: defense and a strong running game.
The defense was stifling. They forced Arizona to go three-and-out on it’s first five possessions. They held Carson Palmer without a passing touchdown, and sacked him five times in the process. Palmer’s last four drives of the game ended in interceptions, sealing the deal on an incredible defensive performance, a performance that has been far too rare during the Rex Ryan era.
The running game was efficient and effective. LeSean McCoy looked like the player he was in Philly, finding holes, making guys miss, showing off his crafty moves as he gashed the Cardinals for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Tyrod Taylor also showed off his unique rushing ability, picking up 76 yards and a touchdown with his legs, including a 49 yard scamper, the longest QB rush in Bills history.
It was a fun day at New Era Field, and it was a win the Bills desperately needed. 0-3, and it’s time to pack the bags and look forward to next year. 1-2, and you’ve got something to hang your hat on, and a chance to bounce back into the picture. However, you better enjoy this win while you can, because this Sunday, the Bills face their biggest test yet: New England.
The Patriots have, once again, proven themselves as the team to beat in the NFL. Even without QB Tom Brady, and TE Rob Gronkowski (for the most part), the Patriots have managed to come out of the gates firing, sitting at 3-0 with just one more Brady-less game on the schedule. QB Jimmy Garoppolo looked great as Brady’s replacement, until a shoulder injury knocked him out for the Pats week three game against Houston. Rookie QB Jacoby Brissett, a third-rounder out of NC State, helped lead the Patriots to a shutout victory over the Texans, furthering Bill Belichick’s status as one of the best coaches in the game’s history. So far, no Brady, no problem for New England.
Neither Garoppolo nor Brissett are at 100 percent, but both are expected to be available this Sunday against Buffalo. Even with these two backups, hobbled and all, the Patriots are still the favorite heading into this one. Few expected them to be undefeated at this point, and even less expected them to look this dominant without their Hall of Fame quarterback.
The Bills were impressive against Arizona, but it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Tyrod Taylor continued to struggle, throwing for just 119 yards and a pick. He still failed to use the middle of the field, something the Patriots are surely aware of. Simply put, the Bills have to be more effective throwing the football. They may have won without the passing game last Sunday, but that’s not a sustainable way to win in today’s NFL, especially against teams like New England.
The Bills have a chance to completely turn the tide on this season. A victory in New England is impressive no matter who is lined up behind center for them, especially given the Bills’ historic struggles in Foxboro. The Patriots will likely focus on stopping McCoy and force Taylor to beat them, a test he should be up for if he truly wants to prove he’s a franchise caliber QB. If Taylor comes out unafraid and willing to use the entire field, the Bills have a chance. If he continues to struggle, and fails to use the middle of the field, the Bills are likely leaving Foxboro 1-3, and back in desperation mode.
This is the biggest game of Taylor’s young career. A win, in Foxboro, over the undefeated Patriots is a nice addition to a resumé. Hopefully, Taylor is ready for the interview, because 2-2 sounds a whole lot better than 1-3.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have made it as clear as the desert sky. Anything short of a Super Bowl will be disappointment.
“Everybody truly believes that we can be champions,” defensive tackle Calais Campbell said.
The starters barely played a half combined in the preseason, and this is a team that knows it’s good as long as Carson Palmer stays healthy and Tyrann Mathieu returns strong from a torn ACL.
“I’m pretty sure I know what they can do,” coach Bruce Arians said, explaining why the starters played so little this preseason. “It’s just a matter of getting them all there to that first game.”
Every player who scored a point or gained a yard on an offense that led the NFL with 408.3 yards per game is back. The right side of the offensive line is new, with veteran Evan Mathis at right guard and young D.J. Humphries.
The Cardinals are 34-14 in Arians’ three years in Arizona. Last season’s 13-3 mark was second best in the NFC. But it ended badly, a blowout loss at Carolina in the NFC championship game, a performance that left open the question whether Palmer can win the big game.
Here are some things to look for before the Cardinals open their season Sunday night at home against the Patriots.
DEFENSIVE BOOST: The Cardinals’ biggest problem a year ago was generating a pass rush without blitzing. That has been addressed with the acquisition of outside linebacker Chandler Jones.
Jones had a career-high 12 1-2 sacks for the Patriots last season, earning his first appearance in the Pro Bowl. With second-year pro Marcus Golden, who came on strong through last season, at the other linebacker spot, with Alex Okafor as a backup, the Cardinals are confident they can finally mount a pass rush off the edge.
They should be better on the defensive front, too. Arizona kept nine defensive linemen, featuring Campbell, Rodney Gunter, Corey Peter, Xavier Williams, Frostee Rucker and first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche.
PLAYMAKER HEAVEN: The Cardinals are loaded with people who can make the big plays Arians’ offense features. Larry Fitzgerald is back for his 13th NFL season. Fitzgerald, who just turned 33, caught 109 passes last year for 1,215 yards, breaking the franchise record he set a decade earlier. John Brown topped 1,000 yards receiving, too, and after being sidelined with a concussion most of the preseason, he is expected to be ready for the opener. Michael Floyd returns in a contract year, another big receiver adept at coming down with those 50-50 balls. Jaron Brown, the forgotten player in this talented group, may have had the best training camp of any Cardinal. And J.J. Nelson adds even more speed.
CORNERBACK QUESTIONS: The only unsettled position is at cornerback opposite All-Pro Patrick Peterson. Free agent signee Mike Jenkins had a chance to win the job but broke a bone in his hand in training camp, then went down with a season-ending knee injury.
Rookie Brandon Williams has the raw talent, but played the position only one season in college and struggled in the preseason. Justin Bethel is coming off foot surgery and Arians says Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowl player on special teams, will have to play with pain all season.
Arizona added some veteran depth at the position by acquiring Marcus Cooper from Kanas City last week.
RUNNING WILD: Second-year pro David Johnson exhibited a rare combination of power, evasiveness and speed as a rookie. He was dominant when he started the final five games of the season after Chris Johnson went down with a knee injury.
The hype for David Johnson this year is sky high.
“I’m definitely ready,” he said, “being smarter, getting in the training room, getting smarter in my nutrition and staying healthy. I feel like I’m ready to take on the load.”
Chris Johnson is back and says he’s in far better shape than a year ago, when he got a late start after recovering from a gunshot wound. Andre Ellington is finally healthy, too, and provides another big-play threat.
BADGER’S BACK: Do-everything defensive back Mathieu, with a big new contract, has returned from his second knee surgery in three seasons. He didn’t play in any preseason games and will play with a brace on his knee, albeit a much smaller one than he had to wear two years ago.
Mathieu is the fiery heart of the defense, not just for his playing ability but for his emotional “edge” that rubs off on teammates. Asked how much the Badger will be able to play in the opener, Arians said, “every down.”
Raymond Anthony Lewis Jr. (born May 15, 1975) is a former American football NFL Jersey Sale linebacker who played his entire 17-year career for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Miami, and earned All-America honors. Drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 1996, Lewis was the last active player from the team’s inaugural season.
Playing middle linebacker his Ray Lewis Jerseys entire career, Lewis is considered one of the greatest ever to play the position. Lewis was selected to 13 Pro Bowls and named an Associated Press All-Pro 10 times. He is also thought to be the greatest Baltimore Ravens player of all time.[1] He won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2003, becoming the sixth player to win the award multiple times.[2] Lewis was also the second linebacker to win the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award and the first to win the award on the winning Super Bowl team.[3] Lewis pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in connection with the stabbing deaths of two men in 2000.
After a triceps tear that sidelined him for most of the 2012–13 season, Lewis returned for the Ravens playoff run and a victory in Super Bowl XLVII.
Joe Flacco Jerseys this is a stark difference from last season for Flacco. In 2015, Flacco was 8 of 31 with one touchdown and two interceptions on throws of 25 yards or longer. His 25.8 completion rate on those throws ranked 30th in the NFL.
That’s why the Ravens wanted to give Flacco more downfield options this year. Wallace, a free-agent signing, made his presence known in the second quarter. He scored his 11th touchdown catch of at least 50 yards, This comes after Wallace didn’t catch a pass of more than 40 yards last season with the Minnesota Vikings.
Perriman and Pitta made timely plays after they both missed all of last season. Perriman, who was sidelined his entire rookie season with a sprained knee, made a leaping, 35-yard catch along the sideline. The first catch of his career led to Justin Tucker’s 50-yard field goal in the first quarter.
Then, Pitta stepped up in the fourth quarter in Cheap nfl Jerseys his first game since 2014. Flacco completed a 27-yard pass to Pitta on a throw that went behind his tight end. But as if he knew the ball was going to be there, Pitta hauled it in to set up a 37-yard field goal.
Those three completions accounted for 128 of his 258 yards passing (49.6 percent). Flacco, who was playing in his first game since a season-ending knee injury last November, finished 23 of 34 with a 99.9 passer rating.
