Not since Tim Tebows welcome-to-the-NFL moment six years ago has a quarterback paid as big a price as Cam Newton did for trying to trot into the end zone without bracing for a big hit. All Gold Air Jordan 12 Retro .The Carolina quarterback pulled up in front of Falcons linebacker Deion Jones while he was about to convert a 2-point conversion. It looked as if he ran into a plate glass window in what was surely the worst decision in the NFLs fourth weekend.Jones laid a clean hit on Newton near the goal line that staggered the leagues reigning MVP and sent him out of Carolinas 48-33 loss with a concussion.It was reminiscent of Tebows ill-fated dart into the end zone on the final play of his NFL preseason debut in 2010 when two defenders rendered the rookie a human sandwich with bruised ribs.That was a foretaste of Tebows brief pro football career and sparked debate among his supporters and detractors alike over whether he could survive in the NFL if he didnt change his bruising running style.Newton might also have to change some things if hes to continue thriving -- and surviving -- in this league.Newton has been a human pinball, getting hit 840 times while either throwing or running since entering the league as the NFLs top draft pick in 2011, according to ESPN. Second on that list is Russell Wilson with 303 fewer hits.Newtons coach, Ron Rivera, complained about officials not protecting his big QB after several helmet-to-helmet shots in the opener at Denver, but he didnt have a problem with Jones vicious hit.If I was playing Ive had taken the shot, Rivera said Monday.The Panthers are the eighth Super Bowl participant since 1990 to start off 1/3 or worse, and only one of those, the 1996 Cowboys, recovered to reach the playoffs.There were other curious calls in Week 4, such as the Buccaneers keeping Jameis Winston in the game after a 90-minute storm delay for the final few minutes of Tampa Bays 27-7 loss to Denver .Not only that, but they went for it on fourth-and-43 on their final snap after the Broncos had hammered Winston on his previous three snaps. The rag-dolled QB got the ball off quickly and avoided his 27th hit of the afternoon.Before the weather delay, the Bucs, trailing by 20, had punted on fourth-and-6 from the Denver 46.Id been watching our offense the whole game. I dont know why anyone expected we could make it on fourth-and-7 if theyd been watching our offense, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said. I sure didnt expect us to.So, why was Winston in the game at the end and why was he throwing on fourth-and-forever from his 30 with less than two minutes left?Theres definitely a fine line, but you cant take your whole team out, Koetter said. You dont have enough guys. You cant take everybody out. We thought about it. We had plenty of time to think about it. We left him in.Washington cornerback Josh Norman was penalized for shooting a bow and arrow, after he celebrated his crucial interception against Cleveland by acting as if he was Katniss Everdeen.The Patriots failed to greet Tom Bradys return with an undefeated record after Cyrus Jones made the mistake of returning Buffalos first two kickoffs out of the end zone.That put third-string QB Jacoby Brissett in a bad spot and he went three-and-out from his 9 and his 14 sandwiched around LeSean McCoys 7-yard TD grab that was all the Bills needed on their way to handing the Pats their first home goose egg since 1993 .In that same game, referee Pete Morelli accidentally broadcast a profanity at Gillette Stadium. Morelli didnt realize he had left his stadium microphone on during a third-quarter timeout and was talking to another official.Those at the stadium -- but not at home -- heard him say, Turned into a pretty good game. But one big hit, this s--- could explode.Among the many good calls Sunday, one stands out: The Seattle Seahawks visited the Meadowlands for the first time since crushing the Broncos 43-8 in the Super Bowl three years ago. So, coach Pete Carroll booked the same hotel the `Hawks stayed in that week. The good vibes carried over into Sunday when Seattle beat the Jets 27-17.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writers Charles Odom and John Wawrow contributed.---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Cheap Jordan 12 Ovo For Sale . Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset. Brown Air Jordan 12 Retro . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up. http://www.cheapjordans12retro.com/all-white-air-jordan-12-retro/ . One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska overpowered Fresno State in the second half and won its opener in the easy fashion that was expected.The lasting memory of Saturday nights 43-10 win will be how everyone inside Memorial Stadium came together to remember the Cornhuskers fallen punter, Sam Foltz, who died in a July car crash.The Huskers draped Foltzs No. 27 jersey at the end of their bench, and after they went three-and-out on their first possession, they lined up with 10 players and no punter.The crowd stood and responded with loud cheers and applause as the play clock wound down, with Fresno States players joining them in the salute. When Nebraska was flagged for delay of game after the play clock expired, Fresno State declined the penalty.It was an incredible feeling, knowing how much he meant to the team and the community and all the fans out there, quarterback Tommy Armstrong said. It touched my heart a bit, just looking out there.Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter was told beforehand that the Huskers would line up without a punter, and he said there was no question that the penalty would be declined.If we cant teach our guys something classy like that, whats college for? he said.Armstrong Jr. ran for two touchdowns and threw a perfect deep ball to Alonzo Moore for another as Nebraska took control of the game and gave Mike Riley his 100th win as a college coach.The Huskers pounded away at the Bulldogs with runs on 51 of their 64 plays, and Devine Ozigbo ran for a career-high 103 yards and two touchdowns. The biggest of Armstrongs few passes came two plays after Kieron Williams first career interception, when Moore beat his man to catch in stride a 57-yard TD early in the fourth quarter.When we run it that well, we open up a lot for the receivers, Armstrong said. When we get a chance to throw it, we have to complete them.Fresno States Chason Virgil, who missed the last nine games in 2015 with a broken clavicle, completed his first five passes and 11 of his first 14. The Bulldogs got a scare when he banged up his left shoulder late in the first half after being driven out of bounds by linebacker Luke Gifford, who was ejected for targeting.Virgil returned to starrt the third quarter but didnt get much done the rest of the night against a Nebraska defense that got better as the game went on. All Pink Air Jordan 12 Retro. I thought our guys went toe-to-toe with them for a pretty good bit, and then they broke our will in the fourth quarter, DeRuyter said.THE TAKEAWAYFresno State: The Bulldogs, coming off a 3-9 season, hung with Nebraska for a half and should be improved if they can keep Virgil healthy for new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau. They capitalized on Robert Stanleys blocked punt and a couple Nebraska penalties, and that allowed them to keep it close until the third quarter. First-year defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward can take consolation in that its unlikely his unit will go against another opponent that runs the ball as well as Nebraska.Nebraska: The game plan was perfect against an opponent that ranked 117th against the run last year, and once Armstrong and the Huskers got going in the second half, they were nearly unstoppable. Nebraska, which finished with 292 yards on the ground, ran on 20 of its first 21 plays, and Riley made good on his plan to get Armstrong more carries.Ozigbo and Terrell Newby formed a strong 1-2 combination, and freshman Tre Bryant showed up well when he got his chances late in the game. All that was pleasing to Riley. What upset him were three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in addition to an ejection for targeting for a third straight game.There was some good football, when you rush for that many yards, but I have mixed emotions about this game, Riley said. Lots of things have to change.UP NEXT:Fresno State: The Bulldogs go from playing in one of the cathedrals of college football to hosting Sacramento State. DeRuyters Fresno teams have beaten Football Championship Subdivision opponents by an average of 26 points.Nebraska: The Huskers host Wyoming, coached by former Nebraska assistant Craig Bohl. This is no gimme. The last time the teams met, in 2013 in Lincoln, the Cowboys scored a couple late touchdowns and put a scare into the Huskers before losing 37-34.
