In a real (and suggestive) snowstorm i Bills they conquer the AFC East title well in advance and extinguish, perhaps definitively, the residual hopes of the 49ers to secure a place in the playoffs.
It must be said that the Niners pay a very high price to luck, read under injuries. The last one, then, is a real blow: their star, the formidable running back McCaffrey he got hurt again and this time there seems to be no possibility of recovery.
His knee cracked, there is a fear of ligament damage, the season is over. And to say that yesterday the rb seemed to be back in shape as long as he was on the pitch. Truly a joke in a terrible season for the Californians which also puts the coach in doubt for the foreseeable future Shanahan. We haven’t won a Super Bowl in the Bay Area since time immemorial, we have to go back to Montana e Young and the fans roar…
Smiles instead at the Bills home where the qb Allen points to the title of Mvp and the confidence in the team grows from match to match. They may not be the strongest but they win and, as they say, winning helps you win.
Allen is confident, he does practically everything, runs, throws and scores a touchdown. Irrepressible. It is the lighthouse of Buffalo, ripe for great achievements.
There was a wait to see them Eagles on the field of Ravens. Complicated test with Phila still without a receiver Smithone of the cornerback’s strengths Slay and above all the strong veteran defender Graham (out for the whole season and, given his age, probably on his farewell step, we’ll see).
And the first quarter seemed to prove those skeptical about Philadelphia’s real strength right. Non-existent attack. Hurts e Barkley not received. Defense a little better but in difficulty in front of the raids of Henry and the tightrope walker to taste Lamar Jackson.
But from the second quarter onwards, almost everything changed. The attack started to turn and above all to be surgical in reaching touchdowns. The defense, in the long drives it had to sustain, managed from that moment on to stop and limit the Ravens as much as possible (the last touchdown with time practically up is irrelevant).
And then Barkley, once again, came out forcefully at distance, managing to reach the hundred-yard run that against Baltimore it’s a feat and to close the game with a sprint for a touchdown. What a season for number 26, also in full swing for the MVP title. This victory has relaunched the Eagles’ quotations as a serious contender for the title. Like the Bills, they don’t seem to be the strongest overall, but they started winning without stopping.
Obvious disappointment in Baltimore. The team has enough talent to aim high but every now and then it gets lost and above all it is unable to materialize the long possessions and the many yards gained. Problem among problems, then, is the one who until the beginning of the championship was the best kicker in the league, Tucker. Suddenly uncertain, he makes mistakes that cost points. Yesterday, 7. Two field goals and an additional point. He appears confused.
Let’s close with an eye on the Thanksgiving Day matches. Another victory of the Lionsbut rather painful, which is unusual, sui Bears who threw it away with a crazy management of the final seconds that cost the head coach his bench.
Detroit he makes no secret of wanting to write a page in the history of the city and the franchise. Identical result for i Packers on the fragile Dolphins and gods Cowboys sui Giants in an unforgettable match. Success also for the world champions Chiefs on the derelict Raidersma Kansas City he struggled a lot and Las Vegas he threw her in the chaotic finale. Mahomes and his teammates are flying towards the play offs but continue to play poorly. But they win, of course they win…
