NFL GAMEDAY WEEK 7
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ DENVER BRONCOS
(NO SCRIPT)
ATLANTA FALCONS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS
FALCONS DETERMINATION QUICKLY COLLAPSED IN THE WAKE OF THE RAVENS RELENTLESS PASS RUSH. RAVENS RECEIVERS OLD AND YOUNG BURNED ATLANTA.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ DETROIT LIONS
FOR THREE AND A HALF QUARTERS, THE ONLY “AIR” MATTHEW STAFFORD AND THE LIONS FELT WAS THE BREEZE FROM DREWS’ PASSES.
TRAILING 23-10, THE PRESSURE MOUNTED.
LATE IN THE 4TH QUARTER, THE LEAGUES NUMBER ONE RANKED DEFENSE WAS AIR TIGHT.
CINCINNATI BENGALS @ INDIANPOLIS COLTS
ANDREW LUCK LEADS THE NFL IN COMPLETIONS, YARDS AND TOUCHDOWN PASSES. HE’S THE BIGGEST REASON THE COLTS LEAD THEIR DIVISION.
BECAUSE OF THEIR NUMBER ONE OFFENSE, THE COLTS DEFENSE HAD GOTTEN LITTLE RECOGNITON. THE BENGALS WERE 1 OF 13 ON 3RD DOWN. (PAUSE) AND MANAGED JUST 135 TOTAL YARDS.
THE COLTS SHUT OUT THE BENGALS AND WITH 5 STRAIGHT WINS THEY TOOK A WELL DESERVED BOW.

CLEVELAND BROWNS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
JAGUARS ROOKIE QUARTERBACK BLAKE BORTLES THREW THREE INTERCEPTIONS.
IN HIS FIRST CAREER START FOR THE LEAGUE’S WORST RUSHING OFFENSE, DENARD ROBINSON RUSHED FOR 127-YARDS.
NEW YORK GIANTS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR DAD JUST GETS THAT LOOK? LIKE HE’S SO MAD?
THE COWBOYS GAVE TOM COUGHLIN PLENTY OF REASONS TO BE MAD.
DEMARCO MURRAY BECAME THE FIRST PLAYER IN NFL HISTORY TO RUSH FOR 100 OR MORE YARDS IN EACH OF HIS FIRST SEVEN GAMES.
TONY ROMO’S THIRD TOUCHDOWN PASS PUT DALLAS AHEAD FOR GOOD.
DEZ BRYANT CAUGHT SEVEN PASSES FOR 136 YARDS IN THE SECOND HALF TO HELP LEAD THE COWBOYS TO THEIR SIXTH STRAIGHT WIN.
CAROLINA PANTHERS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
THE PACKERS WANTED TO DISPATCH CAROLINA EARLY – AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID, STARTING WITH A TOUCHDOWN ON THE GAME’S OPENING SERIES.
GREEN BAY BUILT A 28-3 HALFTIME LEAD.
THE PACK FORCED THE PANTHERS TO PUNT ON EACH OF THEIR FIRST 5 DRIVES.
AARON RODGERS THREW 3 TOUCHDOWN PASSES AS GREEN BAY RECORDED ITS 4TH STRAIGHT WIN.

NEW YORK JETS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
ON A DREARY NIGHT IN FOXBOROUGH, TOM BRADY DANCED THROUGH THE RAINDROPS TO THE TUNE OF 261 YARDS AND 3 TOUCHDOWNS.
GENO SMITH GAVE THE JETS A CHANCE FOR THEIR FIRST REGULAR SEASON WIN IN NEW ENGLAND SINCE 2009.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ ST LOUIS RAMS
FACING THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS, THE RAMS AMASSED A 21 TO 3 LEAD THAT NO ONE SAW COMING.
SO DID RUSSELL WILSON, WHO BECAME THE FIRST QUARTERBACK IN NFL HISTORY TO THROW FOR 300 YARDS AND RUSH FOR 100 YARDS IN THE SAME GAME.
SEATTLE GOT THE STOP, BUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE HALLOWEEN, THE RAMS USED YET ANOTHER SPECIAL TEAM’S TRICK, TO CLOSE OUT THEIR UPSET TREAT.
TENNESSEE TITANS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
WASHINGTON’S COLT MCCOY WATCHED SUNDAY’S FIRST HALF FROM THE BENCH. HIS SEAT WAS UPGRADED IN THE THIRD QUARTER.
JAY GRUDEN DID KEEP MCCOY IN THE GAME, AND HE REPAID HIM BY LEADING WASHINGTON TO THEIR SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON.
ARIZONA CARDINALS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS
EVEN AS THE QUARTERBACK OF THE CARDINALS, CARSON PALMER WAS STILL STUCK ON THE RAIDERS.
THE CARDINALS WERE ABLE TO GIVE HIM SOME SEPARATION FROM HIS FORMER TEAM.

THE CARDINALS REACHED 5-1 AND LEFT THE RAIDERS WINLESS THIS SEASON.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ BUFFALO BILLS
THE BILLS LOOKED LIKE FISH OUTO F WATER ON SUNDAY, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE VIKINGS DANCING ON THE END OF THEIR LINE.
WITH TIME RUNNING OUT THE BILLS DIDN’T CUT THE BAIT…THEY REELED IN A WIN.
MIAMI DOLPHINS @ CHICAGO BEARS
BRANDON MARSHALL’S FORMER TEAM TOOK AN EARLY LEAD OVER CHICAGO.
ONE OF THE BEARS PROBLEMS? COMMUNICATION.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
ANTHONY “THE SAUSAGE” SHERMAN SLIPPED THROUGH SAN DIEGO LIKE A GREASED PIG, BRINGING HOME THE BACON AND A FOURTH QUARTER LEAD.
WITH SAN DIEGO TRAILING BY SIX, PHILLIP RIVERS LED TWO DRIVES ENDING IN FIELD GOALS TO TIE THE GAME AT 20.
BUT A CHIEFS FIELD GOAL LEFT THE CHARGERS TRAILING BY THREE WITH JUST 21-SECONDS REMAINING.
HOUSTON TEXANS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
