Hi, there are still a handful of games left this week, but a lot of crazy stuff happened yesterday that will be super important going on. Here is everything that went down yesterday:
CLEVELAND BROWNS:
The Browns hopes keep being dashed, loss after loss the Browns were headed for an 0-16 season when a miracle happened. The BROWNS ACTUALLY WON! A game people thought the Chargers had in the bag was a complete upset. The Browns offense and defense played pretty well, lead by QB Robert Griffin III who was playing great before he went down with a concussion and was out the rest of the game. The Browns were up 20-17 with not much time remaining and the Chargers had a 4th down close enough to make a field goal. Kicker Josh Lambo kicked it, and it was blocked, leading the Browns to their first win of the season. The Browns were so excited to have just 1 win but it knocked them out of position for the first overall draft pick because the 49ers had a harder schedule breaking the tie, but then the 49ers actually won too for the first time since week 1 where they beat the Rams again. 1-14 and the Browns are satisfied!
OAKLAND RAIDERS and TENNESSEE TITANS:
The Raiders had a great win that kept their BYE alive in the AFC but they feel like they lost their whole season. With a big lead, QB Derek Carr dropped back on a 2nd and 20 play and was sacked by Trent Cole. It didn't seem like a big deal until Carr motioned for sideline assistance, Carr then lay on the ground screaming and it did not look good. Carr was carted off the field with a sad look on his face. Backup QB Matt McGloin finished off the game and after the game, Coach Jack Del Rio announced Carr would be out indefiently with a broken fibula. The Raiders may be in position for a BYE, but they will probably be out on their first match-up in the playoffs. Meanwhile in Tennessee, the Titans were dealt a surprise upset from the Jaguars that eliminated them from playoff contention. Another big loss for the Titans, was that QB Marcus Mariota also broke his fibula and will also be out for the season. 2 big QB losses lead to 2 bad playoff situations.
MIAMI DOLPHINS and SEATTLE SEAHAWKS:
2 field goals set up different playoff situations with these teams. The Dolphins were playing the Bills in a close game. The Bills scored with barely any time left to get a small lead and then the Dolphins went clutch and kicked a field goal to tie the game and put it into overtime. Overtime went on scoreless for a long time but finally the Dolphins kicked a field goal to win in overtime and almost guarantee a playoff spot for the Dolphins. The Seahawks had a home game vs. the terrible Arizona Cardinals. Everyone knew the Hawks had this one in the bag but the Cardinals started with a 14-0 lead where the Seahawks even had 2 goal line drives that both resulted with no TD's. Tyler Lockett broke his leg and is out for the season which is a big loss for the Seahawks. As the game went on, the Hawks stepped up and played very well and by the end of the game with barely any time left the Seahawks scored a TD to tie the game but Steven Hauskcha flashed back to his terrible game vs. the Cardinals earlier on and missed the extra point that could have won the game. Then with under a minute the Cards drove and other kicker who was bad earlier this year Chandler Catanzaro had a chance for the win with a huge field goal and MADE IT FOR THE UPSET WIN. This screwed the Seahawks in the playoff picture losing their BYE to the Falcons and moving to 4th seed. If the Seahawks next week which they most likely will vs. the 2 win 49ers and the Falcons some how lose a home game vs. the Saints, then they will get their BYE back, otherwise they will likely be stuck at 3rd seed and will likely play the Lions in Seattle in the first round if the games play out like they probably will. Seattle would then probably win vs. Detroit AT HOME! Then they would have to travel TO ATLANTA to face the tough Falcons that stole their spot and see if they can get their rightful spot back and prevail to the NFC championship.
Some other crazy things happened this week and I will explain more in an upcoming post but those were the craziest things.
