Sebastian Janikowski injures groin trying to make tackle | ProFootballTalk

Dwayne Harris of the Cowboys has a 50+ yard TD reception that came largely through the air and another 35-40 yard one where he made two defenders miss and took it another 20 for the TD. Those are his only two catches. Janoris Jenkins was one of the defenders that missed HORRIBLY on his 2nd TD. Earlier in that same drive, Jenkins yet again in his young career, whiffed on a tackle that allowed Ogletree, I believe, to take it 20 or so yards down the field.

Lions RB Kevin Smith left the game with a left ankle injury and Mikel Leshoure is playing with a wrap on his midsection.

Vince Young picked off by Troy Polamalu. Rolled out right and then threw back across the field to the left and the ball hung up horribly. Really forced the throw. Ugly.

Keshawn Martin has fumbled twice already for the Texans tonight.

Robert Quinn with an unblocked sack.

Kevin Smith jogged back out to the sideline.

Terrelle Pryor had a 59-yard run and then followed it up with a 17-yard TD run.

Stafford's left hand injury is not expected to be serious. Schwartz "thinks" Stafford is ok.

and he has tons of composure. last week he threw a pick and seemed to learn quickly. threw with even more confidence afterwards. he might actually be more nfl ready than manning was at the start...

Agreed. And a couple of times he could have tried to make something happen ala Brett Favre (and end up turning it over), but he took the sack, which was smart.

Let's hope he's not the next Chris Chandler. He's been injured way too much for such a short career.

Alphonzo Smith picked off Pryor, but it was nullified by illegal hands to the face.

 

[NinerSickness]

Nice recovery by Pryor. He just threw like a 50 yard TD or something. The play by play guys keep saying Alphonzo Smith was winded from that return, and they were probably right. The colour guy even said, "I'd go deep on Smith here."

Pryor had an easy TD run

That was a fairly nice catch from Criner as well.

Kellen Moore making an appearence with the Lions. I don't see him doing much in the NFL unless he starts on a heavy dose of vitamin S.

...I like him better than Wilson in Seattle though.

Man punters are getting extremely good these days. Almost every punt I've seen has been a great one today.

Maybe it's 'cause they're fighting for jorbs.

Brian Quick took a shot to the ribs and is down on the ground.

Thanks CP. Good stuff.

I can tell Jamie Combie loves Kellen Moore. I keep seeing him run up and hug the guy.
