Jaguars lead the series over the Browns

The Browns and Jaguars, an AFC South team, have met 13 times: Jacksonville leading the series, 9-4. The Jaguars joined the NFL as an expansion team for the 1995 season. That was the Browns’ final season in Cleveland before owner Art Modell moved them to Baltimore, where they became the Ravens. Therefore, it seemed in the past that Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys were shining than Cleveland Browns jerseys.
Jacksonville went 4-12, but half its wins were over the Browns. Cleveland.com’s Browns History Database includes the game stories of all Browns regular season and playoff games in their history through last season. Mary Kay Cabot wrote the game story about the Jaguars 23-15 win at Cleveland on Oct. 22, 1995, making the Browns 3-4 — after they had been picked to go to the Super Bowl by Sports Illustrated and the Sporting News.
Less than two weeks later, the news broke that Modell was leading the Browns out of Cleveland. The last game for the original Cleveland Browns was on Dec. 24, 1995, in Jacksonville. Cabot wrote the game story about the Browns’ 24-21 loss to the Jaguars.

Eli Manning didn’t come to rescue in fourth quarter

It’s something we’ve seen all season long: Giants down late, Eli Manning steadily wears Eli Manning Giants jersey and marches his team down the field. Only on Sunday, his fourth-quarter comeback bid fell just short.

While it might seem Big Blue relies too heavily on Manning’s last-minute victory habit, safety Antrel Rolle wears Antrel Rolle Giants jersey and insists it’s not that way it all.

“We don’t look at it that way,” Rolle told WFAN’s Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on Tuesday. “We do our best to to not put ourselves in that situation. It just so happens that pretty much every game we’ve been in has come down to the wire this season. But, you know, Eli is great at what he does and we understand that. But at the same time, we don’t try to rely on him to save us each and every week.”

Therefore, Eli Manning is not Mr. 4th quarter again this time, as he didn’t come to the Jets’ rescue in the fourth quarter, while the San Francisco 49ers got the victory.

Troy Polamalu will undertake a good ending

If you still don’t think that Polamalu is one of his sport’s true role models, consider that he just earned his undergraduate degree in history from USC in May. Yes, a man who has already earned tens of millions of dollars went back to tie up a loose end.

But why?

“I decided to finish what I started and walked that stage today not only because it was very important to me personally,” said Polamalu, who wore Troy Polamalu Steelers jersey and left college for the NFL after his junior year, “but because I want to emphasize the importance of education, and that nothing should supersede it.”

Unfortunately in sports—as in other aspects of American life—the loudest and most controversial get the headlines. While this is as much an indictment of us as observers, it’s good to know that there are some superstars we’d like our children to emulate. Troy Polamalu wears Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys and is at the front of that group

Hines Ward will play against the Bengals

It doesn’t appear that linebacker LaMarr Woodley will wear LaMarr Woodley Steelers jersey and play against the Bengals. He was held out of practice again as he rehabs a pulled hamstring. Woodley sat out last Sunday’s loss to the Ravens.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Hines Ward wore Hines Ward Steelers jersey and said he will play against the Bengals.

Ward missed the Oct. 30 win against the Patriots with a sprained ankle but was knocked out of the game against the Ravens due to concussion-like symptoms. He was drilled by linebacker Ray Lewis.

“I’m good. I’m playing,” Ward said.

Ward was a full practice participant Thursday, as was linebacker James Farrior, who missed the last two games with a torn calf muscle.

However, two other wideouts missed practiced — Emmanuel Sanders, who has arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday, and Arnaz Battle, who’s primarily a special teams player.

If Battle can’t play, there’s a chance the Steelers might promote wide receiver Tyler Grishman from the practice squad.

Guard Doug Legursky has worn Doug Legursky Steelers jersey and returned to practice after missing several games with a dislocated toe.

James Farrior undergoes encouraging recovery

After their Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, which cost them its atop at the AFC standing, the Pittsburgh Steelers now focuses on preparing to play against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, there still comes out good news to the team, with Hines Ward wearing Hines Ward Steelers jersey and returning to undertake a full practice.

Furthermore, James Farrior, previously suffering calf injury, also wears James Farrior Steelers jersey and undergoes encouraging recovery. Actually, Farrior missed on Sunday for the simple fact that it’s he who calls the play out to his teammates and communicates changes pre-snap based on what the offense is showing.

Wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, Farrior may lack the physical attributes he once had; however, it can’t be underestimated how important he is as the captain of the defense from his inside linebacker position. Therefore, it should mean quite a lot for the Pittsburgh Steelers to have a recovery of James Farrior.

Hines Ward returned to practice Wednesday

The Pittsburgh Steelers had undergone their first loss since early October, and they are now playing at 6-3. They are going to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, after they lost their AFC top standing with a 23-20 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens.

However, there is still good news for the Pittsburgh Steelers that their star wide receiver Hines Ward wore Hines Ward Steelers jersey and returned to practice on Wednesday. What’s more, Hines Ward seems to be able to play on Sunday’s game against the Bengals. Actually, Ward was illegally leveled by Ray Lewis and Bernard Pollard early on in Sunday’s loss to Baltimore.

Wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, Hines Ward must be looking forward to playing against the Cincinnati Bengals that s a team he has feasted on over the years.

Therefore, Hines Ward’s return should give the Pittsburgh Steelers some good point in their wide receiver position. And then their offensive line would be strongly strengthened.

Jake Locker decided to go back to Washington

In the 2011 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans used their No. 7 overall pick to draft the rookie quarterback Jake Locker to wear Tinnessee Titans jerseys, but they put him in the sidelines to learn from their starter quarterback Matt Hasselbeck who wears Matt Hasselbeck Titans jersey. And recenlty, Jake Locker seems to decide to take off Jake Locker Titans jersey and go back to Washingtn for his senior season.

“For me, when I decided to go to the University of Washington, they were a program I watched growing up and they had a lot of tradition. They were one of the top teams in the Pac 10 every year and some years in the country. That’s how I remembered them, that’s what I knew the Huskies as, and I knew when I committed to go there that they weren’t at that stage. We were kinda in a rough spot and I wanted to be a part of the process of bringing that back. We hadn’t done that since I had been there. We hadn’t won a bowl game, we hadn’t won more than five games in a year, and so I guess just personally I had kinda set that goal for myself and my teammates and I wanted to see it through. I had the opportunity to graduate and in my opinion I created some memories that I’ll be able to carry with me for the rest of my life and I’ll be proud of.”

Jake Locker get his playing time, while other rookie QBs have

This past year in the NFL Draft five quarterbacks were taken in the first 35 picks. Of those five, all but Titans first rounder Jake Locker has been able to get on the field for extended time. Cam Newton has played like the best rookie quarterback to come into the league, Blaine Gabbert has wore Blaine Gabbert Jaguars jersey and taken over as the Jaguars signal caller, Christian Ponder, wearing Christian Ponder Vikings jersey and did the same in Minnesota, and Andy Dalton has worn Andy Dalton Bengals jersey and given fans in Cincinnati hope with the way he has led the Bengals to a 5-2 record.

Wearing Jake Locker Titans jersey, the No. 7 overall pick of the Tennessee Titans, Jake Locker seems to be learning from the Tennesee Titans starter quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, wearing Matt Hasselbeck Titans jersey. Of course, the Tennessee Titans has their own consideration in developing their first-round rookie quarterback. Of course, we don’t have idea if it will do good to Jake Locker to be a competitive quarterback.

Pittsburgh is not sure which personality they will use

The Pittsburgh Steelers will face one of their biggest rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, this Sunday, as they are sitting at 6-2, the division champions seemingly. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers is not sure which personality they will show off against the Ravens, which remains funny for the public to guess, while the Baltimore Ravens should also respond.

“When you’re doing things like we’re doing, the sky’s the limit for our offense,” Hines Ward wore Hines Ward Steelers jersey and said. “We’ve got playmakers all over the field.”

Of course, it seems to be a common sense for Steelers’ opponents to focus on their passing game and the running backs, which will make them pay. Though Rashard Mendenhall has worn Rashard Mendenhall Steelers jersey and struggled at times, the Steelers are still averaging a healthy 4.4 yards per carry and running effectively when he has to.

After all, Ben Roethlisberger wears Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey and looks very much like a quarterback at the peak of his powers.

Steelers’ second weapon: receiving corps

It’s true that Ben Roethlisberger wears Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey and is one of the biggest weapons for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Of course, the Steelers are more than just Roethlisberger. The young wide receiving corps is gaining confidence each week, thanks in part to the leadership of Hines Ward who wears Hines Ward Steelers jersey. His career winding down, Ward has made it a point to tutor Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders in the finer points of the trade. In all, they have Mike Wallace Steelers jersey, Antonio Brown Steelers jersey and Emmanuel Sanders Steelers jersey in their locker room, which should be one of their most valuable wealth.

“Where in the years past we only had certain guys running certain things and it was easy for teams to key on certain guys, now Mike is running some of the routes that I run and vice versa,” said Ward, who hopes to play against the Ravens after missing last week’s game with a leg injury. “AB is getting underneath and being able to do a lot of different things, and Emmanuel too. When you start to do that it really gets to a defense because they can’t focus on one particular person.”
