It
was yet another exciting week in the NFL. There were so many upsets it
was hard to count. But we can’t forget about the recent death of the
Cowboys player, Jerry Brown Jr. He, along with team mate Josh Brent,
were driving home. Brent was intoxicated and the accident that ensued
took the life of his best friend.
Though
mentally distraught, the Cowboys took on the Bengals and ended up
winning the game they dedicated to their fallen teammate. In the
emotional win, they kicked a last second field goal to seal the game.
The
Vikings took on the Bears in a divisional match-up this week and they
won 24-17. Adrian Peterson (Minnesota's running back) ran for over 150
yards and scored. If he rushes for 155 yards in each of the remaining
games this season, he could break the single season rushing record of
2,104 yards. To add to this incredible story, Adrian Peterson is coming
off of knee surgery from last season.
New
York took on New Orleans in what was expected to be a closely contested
game. The outcome was completely different. The Saints started off
strong, intercepting Eli Manning and returning it for a touchdown.
Immediately after, New York returned the kickoff for a touchdown. New
York’s special teams and stellar defense embarrassed the Saints on
national television in a 52-27 victory.
Monday
night the Patriots took on the Texans. This was a very important game
for both teams because playoff seeding is on the line. Many favored the
Texans to win but the Patriots came out firing. The Patriots knocked off
the Texans 42-14.
This
Thursday the Eagles battle the Bengals, a critical game as Cincinnati
is fighting to stay alive in the playoff race. Tune in for a good one!
