Hines Ward catches five passes to get second priority

When the Denver Broncos starter quarterback Tim Tebow is being doubted his throwing skills as an elite quarterback, he is winning for the Denver Broncos. Nothing is up again, as the rule in the NFL is winning. Of course, winning decides everything, whatever you used.

Now, out of winning, there are first priority and second priority. Of course, Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward, wearing Hines Ward Steelers jersey, is moving with his second priority to this Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. It’s known that the veteran wide-out needs to catch five passes and reach 1,000 receptions for his career to potentially be a Hall of Famer when he retires wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys.

When there is only one game remaining to play in the regular season, Ward has caught five or more passes three times this season, and as recently as early this month. Of course, the Steelers star wide-out should seize his last chance to make such achievement. Let’s expect it.

Steelers face Browns this week, and could win

It must be bad memory for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they faced the Cleveland Browns in 2009, when their hopes of winning back-to-back Super Bowl for a third time ended with a late-season swoon. Therefore, Pittsburgh should take good care to face the Cleveland Browns so they can take a step forward to be still the Super Bowl contender. Unfortunately, the Steelers players wore Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys and lost five straight to knock them out of playoff contention, with the last defeat coming on that miserable, windy day in Cleveland.

Of course, weather could be a big problem for the Pittsburgh Steelers as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wearing Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey, said, “I think we let up a little bit. We got overwhelmed with the weather and thinking that it was going to be an easy game.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers is now playing at 9-3, while the Cleveland Browns is starting with 4-8. Therefore, it’s not hard to see that the chasm between the clubs hasn’t narrowed. All in all, Pittsburgh could win the game.

Michael Vick might not play Sunday

Wearing Michael Vick Eagles jersey, the Philadelphia Eagles starter quarterback Michael Vick hasn’t taken part in any practice drills on Friday. Therefore, he might not probably participate in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, which will cause two straight days for absence in the field for the Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, Michael Vick is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

As a matter of fact, Michael Vick was bothered by broken ribs, which has kep him out in last week’s game against the New York Giants, when the Eagles won the game without him. And he is now one of four Eagles players and one of three key starters who could miss the interconference mutchup against the AFC East front-runners at Lincoln Financial Field. Wearing Philadelphia Eagles jerseys, Michael Vick couldn’t lead the Philadelphia Eagles, but they are still in must-win mode to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

Steve Mariucci praised 49ers coach before Thursday game

Before the fact that the San Francisco 49ers lost Thursday night’s game to the Baltimore Ravens became known to the public, the former 49ers coach Steve Mariucci praised on the team as he headed for the NFL Network’s sideline set at M&T Bank Stadium. However, there is no idea on how he thought about the 49ers after they lost 16-6 to the Baltimore Ravens.

“I love the job Jim (Harbaugh) is doing,” Mariucci said of the 49ers coach before the game. “I love the fact they’re playing smash-mouth football. I love their offensive line — those guys are crazy. But the key thing has been Alex Smith. There is a good rapport with Jim and Alex, who is healthy and doing what we’ve expected out of him.”

Wearing San Francisco 49ers jerseys, Jim Harbaugh does really do a good job in bringing their defense back to be competitive since 1977 when Mariucci started his first coach career for the San Francisco 49ers.

Hines Ward makes individul sacrifices for team

Wearing Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stressed a statement from the coach’s perspective, that players often have to make individual sacrifices for the betterment of the team. And the veteran wide receiver Hines Ward is wearing Hines Ward Steelers jersey and is doing that he is expected in the Pittsburgh Steelers the rest of the season. Wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, Hines Ward now has reduced role in the field.

“Coach Arians said if you’re a team that’s not doing very good record-wise and you’re not a Super Bowl contender, then you’re fighting for Pro Bowls. For teams that are Super Bowl contenders, you really shouldn’t care about the Pro Bowl. It should be more about Super Bowls. I think we’ve got a locker room full of guys that just care about Super Bowls. That’s what’s most important — sacrificing whatever it might be for the benefit of the team.”

Locker’s starting has schematical benefits

The Tennessee Titans running game has been struggling, and starter quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, wearing Matt Hasselbeck Titans jersey, can’t get benefited from it, though he himself could be rather competitive. What’s worse, the Tians also have one the worst rushing offense in the league. However, it seems kind of surprising that opponents would have to respect Lockers’ legs enough to leave an extra guy in the box, which seems to be one big part that Jake Locker, wearing Jake Locker Titans jersey, contributes to Tennessee. Therefore, the Titans could get schematical benefit from starting Jake Locker.

It’s a fact that the Tennessee Titans has enough weapons to terrorize a seven-man box. As a matter of fact, they could theoretically spread out three receivers and that would leave Chris Johnson, wearing Chris Johnson Titans jersey, or Jared Cook, wearing Jared Cook Titans jersey, matched up with a linebacker and both will win that matchup more times than not.

All in all, it could be a good way for the Titans to have a try.

Saints vs. Lions game won’t lose its luster

It’s an unsurprising move when the NBC has chose the New Orleans Saints vs. Detroit Lions game for its Sunday night on Dec. 4. Of course, the game won’t disappoint the NBC as it was previously as NBC was slated to show the Indianapolis Colts against the New England Patriots.

It turned out to be a tragedy when the Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning didn’t wear Peyton Manning Colts jersey and go out with a neck injury. Obviously, the game lost its luster, and the Colts are yet to win a game this season, which shows the importantce of Peyton Manning.

At the same time, New Orleans Saints jerseys are shining as the Saints are in first place in the NFC South, and the Detroit Lions is also a playoff contender, behind quarterback Matthew Stafford, wearing Matthew Stafford Lions jersey, and wide receiver Calvin Johnson, wearing Calvin Johnson Lions jersey. Of course, the Lions have emerged as one of the league’s exciting young teams bidding for a playoff spot.

All in all, it should be a wonderful game.

TE David Thomas put on injured reserve

It’s reported by the New Orleans Saints that they placed the tight end David Thomas on injured reserve Tuesday, which indicates an ending of his season. Actually, David Thomas wore David Thomas Saints jersey and seemingly suffered another concussion during the Saints’ last game, the Saints dind’t announce Thomas injury, out of the game against the Atlanta Falcons. Earlier this season, David Thomas wore New Orleans Saints jerseys and was sidelined for five games with a severe concussion. Therefore, David Thomas seems to continue to be affected by his concussion, so the team decides to put him on the injured reserve.

And the New Orleans Saints promoted undrafted rookie tight end Michael Higgins, wearing Michael Higgins Saints jersey, in the place of David Thomas’ place, to the active roster. And then Daniel Hardy Jr. wore Daniel Hardy Jr. Saints jersey and replaced Higgins on the practice squad, as Hardy Jr. is a seventh-round draft pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was released on Sept. 3. Therefore, David Thomas is done for the season in the New Orleans Saints.

Eagles extended the whole play

It is one of the best things to see that the Philadelphia Eagles has won their last Sunday’s game against the New York Giants at 17-10. The impressive thing is that the Eagles had opened the scoring early in the second quarter, and then underwent with a good ending.

Wearing Alex Henery Eagles jersey, the rookie Alex Henery of the Philadelphia Eagles made a 33-yard field goal, which was climaxed in the second quarter as the Eagles were advancing 56 yards in 9 plays.

And then the Philadelphia Eagles extended their advantage to 10-0 with 1:22 left before halftime. Wearing DeSean Jackson Eagles jersey, Jackson positioned the touchdown by returning the 51-yard punt 50 yards to the Giants’ 14 of Steve Weatherford, who wears Steve Weatherford Eagles jersey. Out of the game, DeSean Jackson wore Philadelphia Eagles jerseys and displayed tremendous speed in racing across the field to the daylight that existed on the right side.

Therefore, it is not hard at all to understand that the Philadelphia Eagles should win the game.

Ward would continue to play his best

In Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward felt endangered when he wore Hines Ward Steelers jersey and kept waiting for the coach Mike Tomlin to send him into the game, though Tomlin only rarely looked the 14-year veteran’s way as he was only a few steps away. At the same time, Antonio Brown wore Antonio Brown Steelers jersey and started in the place of Hines Ward. In addition, Mike Wallace Steelers jersey and Jerricho Cotchery Steelers jersey also appeared in the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And they sliced through the Bengals’ defense to help the team win the game with 24-17.

However, Hines Ward wears Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys and insists that he didn’t take it personally.

“They don’t owe me anything,” Ward said. “It is what it is. Whatever my role is, go out there and do the best job I possibly can.”

Therefore, Tomlin wouldn’t probably relied him and bothered to have him play in a pivotal game, but take him to do more cheerleading job rather than route running.
