Game Thread: Early NFL Games 12/8/13

[ChrisPozz]

Detroit's 1st three drives: 111 total yards
Philly's 1st two drives: Negative 2 total yards

However, it's the start of the 2nd quarter and the game is still tied at 0. And now Joique Bell just lost his 2nd fumble of the game. FIVE freaking fumbles already for Detroit today. Stafford has 3 (0 lost) and Bell has 2 (both lost).

Another fumble by the Lions. Not sure which team losing helps the 49ers more. Once I figure it out I'm gonna root against that team.

 

[NinerSickness]

Tyler Eifert just almost made a great, diving catch for a big gain.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Foles just threw his 1st INT of the season.

 

[ChrisPozz]

DET passed up about a 29-yard FG attempt with Akers to go for it on 4th and 2 and Bell just picked up 10.

2-yard TD for Joique Bell. Finally a score. It only took 19 minutes and 58 seconds.

Thanks.

2-yard TD for Joique Bell. Finally a score. It only took 19 minutes and 58 seconds.

Wow! DET, instead of kicking the extra point, went for two because of the snow, and Stafford completed a pass to Bell. The depth of that snow is simply amazing for a PRO game. Living where I live I see snow on football fields all the time but I can't recall a game where I've seen THAT deep of snow on a pro football field.

 

[ChrisPozz]

You see Calvin Johnson's facemask full of snow after the deep catch? Wow! I shouldn't be this amazed by snow living in the Midwest because I see it ALL the time. It's just weird seeing this much of it on an NFL field.

Calvin is now the all-time leading receiver in Lions history after the big catch.

The crazy thing is there wasn't any snow until about an hour before game time......

Peterson with an ankle injury......

 

[ChrisPozz]

Santonio Holmes should've or could've had 6 for the Jets. Diving catch in the endzone bounced right off his hands as he was going to the ground. Pretty decent throw by Geno.

 

[Dodub]

Dexter McCluster has absolutely abused the Redskins in the return game and just finally made it to the end zone. He's had one for over 60 yards, one for over 30 and now this 74 yard return for the TD.

 

[NinerSickness]

McCluster just ran back a punt to make it 31-0 (pending the extra point). This Chiefs - Redskins game is just getting sad.

He's abused them in the return game all day. Honestly I think this is the worst special teams coverage that I've ever seen from a team. He has 158 return yards today which is a franchise record. Of course the snow could have something to do with it as well.

 

[RoboticDreams]

Well the Redskins suck.

 

[ChrisPozz]

McCluster BIG time return TD for KC. Chiefs up 30-0 with 9:45 left in the 2nd quarter. Ugly.

If you're a regular football fan that doesn't know a lot about these players when they aren't playing, go look up McCluster's story and listen to the guy speak. He's an absolute delight in a league full of jerks and guys who are so hard to root for, for so many reasons.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Peterson with an ankle injury......

Questionable to return with an ankle injury. Adrian Peterson that is.

 

[ChrisPozz]

John Clayton:

Colts DE Cory Redding has quad injury. Return is questionable.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Tannehill had 77 yards rushing on 3 carries until a holding penalty wiped out the play. He's back down to 56 on two carries and is Miami's leading rusher still.
