![]() ![]() That could mean three more great fantasy performances, and three games that are easily winnable for Seattle. ![]() Going forward, Wilson has the Ravens, Browns and Rams the next three weeks. In his absence, Wilson has thrown 11 touchdowns with no interceptions. Seattle have played the past three games without Marshawn Lynch. Wilson also ran one in from eight yards out. Wilson had touchdown passes of 20 and 53 yards to Doug Baldwin (another breakout fantasy player the last few weeks), as well as a five-yard TD toss to Fred Jackson. Wilson had his third straight great fantasy (and real life) game in a row, leading the Seahawks to a 38-7 rout of the Vikings. Russell Wilson: 21-for-27, 274 yards three TDs. The loss knocked the 5-7 Giants a half-game behind Washington in the NFC East the Giants lost 20-14 in the teams’ head-to-head matchup. The Jets, who scored 10 in the fourth quarter to tie the game, beat the Giants 23-20 and are in the wild card places with a 7-5 record. But his streak ended on his third attempt – he pushed a 48-yard try wide left. He had already made two field goals, from 20 and 35 yards, on Saturday. Josh Brown had made 25 consecutive field goals without a miss when he stepped onto the field in overtime. They’ve already wrapped up the NFC South. They are now 12-0 with just the Falcons, Giants, Falcons again and Buccaneers between them and a 16-0 season. Newton threw for 331 yards, five TDs and one pick, with another 49 yards on the ground. It ended up being a back-and-forth affair that ended with Newton throwing a 15-yard TD to Jerricho Cotchery to give the Panthers a 41-38 win over the Saints. He went back to the locker room briefly after that score, but didn’t miss a play. He stayed in on that series, and ended up throwing a 13-yard TD to Ted Ginn Jr to give the Panthers the lead. Newton said postgame he deserved to take that hit for letting up before he scored, and he was questioned about whether he had a concussion from the hit. Newton was blasted by Michael Mauti at the goal line, and knocked out of bounds at the one. He even let up as he approached the end zone. Hear me when I say I do not have a concussion – Panthers QB Cam NewtonĬam Newton looked like he was headed into the end zone for a go-ahead score. The Patriots’ loss to the Eagles was more anomaly than anything else but they will be wary that several AFC teams they could meet in the playoffs – the Chiefs, Steelers and Broncos among them – are heating up as the regular season comes to a close. But they still lost by just a combined 13 points the last two weeks, and Rob Gronkowski should return from injury sooner rather than later. With all the injuries, New England’s offense has been a shade of their earlier-season form. Brady couldn’t move the ball down the field and Philly held on. The Eagles then looked to run the clock out, but Barner fumbled. Brady hit Scott Chandler from 12 yards out to cut the deficit to 14, then scored on a QB sneak to make it a one-score game after the Patriots successfully recovered an onside kick. They actually almost came back in this one. The Patriots are still in first in the AFC East, and could clinch their seventh straight division title next week with a win and a Jets loss. Two players (Sproles and Kenjon Barner) got more carries and had more yards than big-money offseason signee DeMarco Murray. The Philly run game continues to struggle. His second TD pass put the Eagles up 35-14 with 11:09 left in the first quarter. And the Eagles can take away this: Bradford returned from injury and threw for two scores without an interception. If Dallas beat Washington on Monday night, Philadelphia will be in a three-way tie for first place in the division despite a 5-7 record. And while lucky wins count the same as well-earned ones, the Eagles are now just a half-game behind in the NFC East. In short, it was a lucky win for the Eagles. Per Reuben Frank of Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, the Patriots had been 94-0 when leading by eight points or more at home since 2001 (the team’s first Super Bowl year). ![]() But they picked off Brady twice, and they got three return scores. The Eagle were outgained, 427-248, and ran 58 plays to New England’s 86. This game will probably not quell Chip Kelly’s critics in Philadelphia. (Also, it’d be extra weird because the playoffs aren’t scheduled to start until January.) If the season ended today, they’d have to play on wild card weekend for the first time since 2009. New England not only fell to 10-2, but they dropped to the No3 seed in the AFC. When the smoke cleared, the Eagles – a team who had lost three straight games – were 35-28 victors on the road against the mighty Patriots. After the Eagles stopped the Patriots on the ensuing possession, Darren Sproles returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown. A blocked punt led to another Eagles touchdown before Brady threw a 99-yard pick-six to Malcolm Jenkins. But what happened in over the next 20 minutes of game time did. ![]()
