Defense and special teams have been solid for the Eagles.Green Bay (4-5) at Washington (5-3-1)The previous time they met, the Packers won a playoff game here in Januar

Youll put up with a lot when all you have to do is win the AFC South. That assignment comes with a whole truckload of margin for error. You sign an unproven quarterback for $37 million guaranteed, and he throws 14 interceptions in your first 13 games? Not great, surely, but you feel like you can let him work it out. Win with defense, muddle along. All you need is nine wins anyway, right? Give the kid time to work out the bugs.Then you get to Week 15, and he throws two more interceptions right out of the gate, and youre losing to Jacksonville. Meanwhile in Kansas City, the team in your own division that was lucky enough to be picking No. 2 the year Marcus Mariota came out is going to upset the Chiefs, and youre looking at the very real possibility of being in second place on Christmas Eve. At that point, its too much. At that point, its Tom Savage time.This is the story of the 2016 Houston Texans, who by sundown Sunday had finally had enough of Brock Osweiler?-- contract be damned -- and will roll with Savage instead this week as they work to hold off the upstart Tennessee Titans. At this point in the NFL season, it cant matter what a guy is getting paid. If he hasnt shown he can play by now, he has to take a seat and let someone else show whether he can play.What happens from here with Osweiler is a complete unknown. Savage could flop and hand him back the job before the playoffs. Osweiler could have a monster offseason, get the starting job back next summer and run with it. Or he could never play another down for the Texans as long as he lives. There is no way to know how its going to go long term.But short term, its Savage, who, one Jaguars player told me Monday, sliced and diced us -- did a really great job of looking at the best matchups and just going with them. He gets Cincinnati this week and then, potentially, a division championship game against Tennessee in Week 17. Savage doesnt have to be a franchise savior or even a long-term answer. He just has to keep from throwing the ball to the other team for the next month or so, and then he and the Texans will figure out where to go from there.Its the time of year when coaches cant worry about feelings or pride or what the plan was back in August. Its time to ask yourself, What gives us the best chance to win this game right here?so we can make it to next week?In Houston in December 2016, that means its Tom Savage time.Heres what else we learned in Week 15:Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott arent a flukeThe Dallas Cowboys star rookies bounced back from their tough division loss to the Giants with a stunner of a performance Sunday night. Prescott was 32-for-36 passing. Elliott rushed for 159 yards, puncturing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that came in as hot as any in the league. Dallas playcallers need to keep it boring -- enough with the third-down reverses and trick plays. If they stick with their bread-and-butter and run Elliott behind that monster offensive line, theirs is a formula that travels in January. The rookies are clearly the kinds of competitors you want on your side in the biggest games.Neither is the Giants defenseThe New York Giants gave defensive tackle Damon Harrison $9.25 million a year, even though he comes off the field on third down. The reason for that is -- because of what Harrison does on first and second downs -- the opponent has a lot longer to go on third down than it used to when it played the Giants. The Giants could have a hiccup in a short week if injured cornerback Janoris Jenkins cant answer the bell Thursday in Philadelphia, but the fact that they could insert Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in his place Sunday and Rodgers-Cromartie wasnt pouting about his reduced role says a lot about whats going on in East Rutherford right now. Their offense isnt where it needs to be, but the defense believes it can win games.The Broncos lucked out on Osweiler, but all is not well at Mile HighFirst of all, the praise Denver Broncos general manager John Elway gets for letting Osweiler leave in free agency is a bit overstated. Elway wanted Osweiler back somewhat badly. He was willing to pay good money to keep Osweiler. He got outbid by Houston. And while Trevor Siemian doesnt appear to be the problem in Denver, whatever the Plan B ended up being on offense this season hasnt worked. The Broncos offensive line cant protect Siemian. Their receivers drop too many passes. At a must-win time of year, the Broncos have lost two straight by the uninspiring combined score of 29-13. They are on the outside of the AFC playoff field looking in, and they probably have to win this week in Kansas City and next week at home against Oakland if they want a chance to get back in and defend their Super Bowl title. Good luck with that.You cant fire Mike McCarthy if youre the PackersThe best coaches are problem-solvers, the ones skilled at identifying problems and devoting themselves to creative solutions. McCarthy ran out of running backs, so he made one out of wide receiver Ty Montgomery, who had 162 rushing yards in the teams white-knuckle victory over the Bears on Sunday. It has been four weeks since certified wizard Aaron Rodgers said that thing about running the table, and the Green Bay Packers are 4-0. One more win sets up a division title game against Detroit in Week 17. I get that the standards are high in Green Bay, where the Packers have made the playoffs seven years in a row. But considering the Packers rebound from their midseason swoon, its hard to buy McCarthy as a coach whose time is up.The two open head-coaching jobs come with big quarterback questionsNo one who isnt enamored with Jared Goff is going to take the Los Angeles Rams head-coaching job,?and no one who isnt enamored with Blake Bortles is going to take the Jacksonville Jaguars job. That sounds obvious, but Bortles 2016 performance is a perfect illustration of how the quarterback position can do you in if it isnt right. Both players look like major projects right now, after Bortles took a big step backward this season, and the franchises in question need to keep the care and development of their young quarterbacks front of mind when deciding on their next coaches.

"We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. Chaussure Under Armour Pas Cher .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Welcome to an NFL huddle, Mr. Goff .Your assignment, as No. 1 overall pick in Aprils draft who has not gotten on the field yet, but starts Sunday for the Rams against the Dolphins, is simple: win.Doing so against a Miami team that has won four straight makes your task a bit tougher. But never mind, Jared, go out and play like fellow rookie quarterbacks Dak Prescott in Dallas and Carson Wentz in Philadelphia have done.Its been a long time, it feels like, since Ive gotten out there and played, says Goff, and hes right -- it was the preseason when he last took a meaningful snap. Im excited to get back out there and play.Ive been working hard to get to that point. Im glad its finally come, glad theyve given me that vote of confidence and the nod. Im ready to go and proving them right.The Rams (4-5) come off a 9-6 victory at the Jets, hardly a boost of confidence for the offense. So coach Jeff Fisher made the switch.The opponent has looked formidable the past month. After winning last weekend at San Diego, the Dolphins (5-4 ) stayed in California this week to train.Its a different week for us just being away from home and being out of our normal facility, quarterback Ryan Tannehill says. Its definitely a challenge for us, but I think we have the focus to get it done the right way.I think thats one of the benefits of being out here together is we have time to spend together, to go to dinner, to hang out and build that team unity.The action began with Carolinas 23-20 home victory over New Orleans.Cam Newton threw for 192 yards and a touchdown in the game marred by injuries to key players. Newton was 14 of 33 and threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr. to help the Panthers (4-6) pull even with the Saints for third place in the NFC South.The Panthers lost former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly (concussion), two-time All-Pro center Ryan Kalil (shoulder), defensive end Mario Addison (foot) and cornerback Leonard Johnson (chest) to injuries. Kuechly left the field on a cart while tears streamed down his face. The Saints lost running back Mark Ingram to a concussion in the third quarter.Off this week are the Falcons (6-4), Chargers (4-6), Jets (3-7) and Broncos (7-3).Houston (6-3) vs. Oakland (7-2) at Mexico CityFootball returns to a mecca of futbol, when the Raiders host the Texans at Azteca Stadium -- the first regular-season game south of the border in 11 years.I like to watch soccer, so Im wondering is it going to be like a soccer atmosphere where they have the horns playing and stuff like that, Texans cornerback A.J. Bouye says. I looked at the field just to see what its like and everything. Im already visualizing everything on what its going to be like.At the end of the day, you just got to expect the unexpected, you know, packed crowd. You dont know what type of atmosphere youre going to have or how loud its going to be, so its exciting and you try not to think about it. At the same time, you just try to focus on the task at hand.The Raiders have impressed with their high-powered offense and opportunism in the leagues best division, the AFC West. Dont expect Houstons Brock Osweiler, averaging a league-low 5.6 yards per pass, to keep up with that.Pittsburgh (4-5) at Cleveland (0-10)Sure, the Steelers have lost four in a row. In Cleveland, they are saying So what!The Browns never have been 0-10 i n a season and they enter the game with a 416-416-10 record for the two installments of the franchise. They have never been below .500, but are 14-44 since Jimmy and Dee Haslam took over as owners.To get off this schneid, they must figure out how to beat Ohio native Ben Roethlisberger, who is 20-2 against them overall. The Steelers are 28-6 against the Browns since Cleveland returned to the league in 1999.Baltimore (5-4) at Dallas (8-1)The Ravens and Cowboys each are division leaders. Similarities end there.Dallas is the NFLs hottest team, not having lost since the opener. It has that dynamic offense led by the leagues best line and sensational rookies Ezekiel Elliott and Prescott. Home-field advantage in the NFC is there for the taking.Baltimores only reason for being on top in the AFC North is how poorly the other division members have performed. The Ravens are too streaky, winning three, losing four, then winning two.Jacksonville (2-7) at Detroit (5-4)Detroit is another first-place team with few credentials to be thinking January success. Again, a weak division, the NFC North, has helped the Lions, who play nothing but tight games. All nine this season have been decided by seven points or fewer and Detroit has been trailing or tied at some point in the final two minutes of regulation in each of them.Jacksonville has struggled in great part because it has not had a takeaway in the past five games. Thats tied for the longest drought since the 1970 merger. The Jaguars are an NFL-worst minus-14 in turnover differential.Philadelphia (5-4) at Seattle (6-2-1)Both come off impressive victories, and Pete Carroll could get his 100th NFL win on Sunday. It looks as if hell have regular RB Thomas Rawls back from a Week 2 leg injury, and rookie C.J. Prosise gained 153 yards from scrimmaage in the win at New England.dddddddddddd They could provide balance to an offense that QB Russell Wilson had humming against the Patriots.Philadelphia won its fourth straight at home by beating Atlanta, but is 1-4 on the road. Wentz has been up and down, though the team has scored at least 20 points in 11 straight games, the longest streak in the league. Defense and special teams have been solid for the Eagles.Green Bay (4-5) at Washington (5-3-1)The previous time they met, the Packers won a playoff game here in January. Now, Green Bay is reeling, losing three straight, the ground game mediocre, the blocking unsteady and the defense keeping them competitive much of the time.Eddie Lacy has missed four games with an ankle injury, and the Packers signed running back Christine Michael after Seattle waived him.Aaron Rodgers will need for his line to come together this week because Washington has three sacks in five consecutive games. Redskins tight end Jordan Reed had nine receptions for 120 yards and a TD in that wild-card game.Tennessee (5-5) at Indianapolis (4-5)Some good things are happening in Nashville, and to punctuate that, the Titans also could end a 10-game slide against the Colts. Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray have the offense hopping -- Tennessee has scored 35 or more points in three consecutive games for the first time in a single season in franchise history. Mariota has thrown an NFL-high 17 TD passes over the past six weeks and Murray is second in the NFL with 930 yards rushing.Indianapolis was off last week. It won the Week 7 matchup when TE Jack Doyle caught a 7-yard TD pass with 1:55 to go. The Colts will honor the 10-year anniversary of their 2006 Super Bowl championship team.New England (7-2) at San Francisco (1-8)Coming off that bruising home loss to Seattle, the Patriots might take out their frustrations on the 49ers. Tom Brady, who grew up in the Bay Area, has never played at San Francisco. With a win over a team that has dropped eight in a row, Brady would tie Brett Favre for second in victories by a quarterback with 199. Peyton Manning holds the record with 200.The 49ers come off a strong but losing performance at Arizona. QB Colin Kaepernick should have fond memories of the Patriots: Kaepernick threw four TD passes in his only meeting with them, in 2012, a season the 49ers went to the Super Bowl.Buffalo (4-5) at Cincinnati (3-5-1)Two slumpers. Buffalo has dropped three straight and comes off a bye. The Bungles, uh, Bengals, have won only one of their past five, against inept Cleveland.The Bills have found ways to score, getting at least 25 points in each of the past five games, and are second in rushing behind Dallas with 155 yards per game. QB Tyrod Taylor comes off a strong outing in a loss to Seattle.Since opening last season 8-0, the Bengals are 7-10-1, including a playoff meltdown loss to Pittsburgh. Of note, though: A.J. Green is 36 yards shy of joining Randy Moss as the only NFL receivers with 1,000 yards in each of their first six seasons. Green ranks second in the league with 964 yards and third with 66 catches.Chicago (2-7) at New York Giants (6-3)New York has taken four in a row and has shown a penchant for big plays on offense, defense and special teams. The previous time the Giants won five straight, they also won the championship in 2011.Safety Landon Collins has sparked the defense with four interceptions in the past three games and excellent pass coverage and run support.Chicago has shown nothing on the road, dropping all five contests. The Bears seem to have found a running back, however, in Jordan Howard, who rushed for 100 yards in a loss to Tampa Bay last week. Howard ranks second among rookies with 605 yards rushing.Arizona (4-4-1) at Minnesota (5-4)Whats the deal with these two 2015 playoff teams?For Minnesota, awful blocking and injuries have contributed to four straight defeats. A defense that looked impenetrable earlier this season now looks vulnerable at times, and the kicking game has been woeful.Still, the Vikings are tied with Detroit atop the NFC North.The Cardinals have lost all eight meetings in Minnesota since their move to Arizona in 1988, and havent won at the Vikings since 1977 as the St. Louis Cardinals. For them to make any headway in the NFC playoff race after being a preseason favorite, they must prosper on the road: five of their final seven games are away from Arizona.Tampa Bay (4-5) at Kansas City (7-2)Dont look now, but the Chiefs are tied for the AFCs best record. And they could get back their star pass rusher, Justin Houston from a lengthy injury rehab. Regardless, they are getting major contributions from safety Eric Berry, who had his fourth career interception return for a TD in last weeks win at Carolina, and LB Dee Ford, whose 10 sacks are tied with Buffalos Lorenzo Alexander for the NFL lead. KC leads the NFL with a plus-14 turnover margin.The Buccaneers have won four straight in this series.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
