Oshane Ximines Buffalo Bills Jersey

DeVante Parker made two acrobatic touchdown receptions Oshane Ximines Buffalo Bills Jersey , and kicker Jason Sanders’ scoring catch was circus-like, too.The unlikely duo helped the Miami Dolphins overcome a 14-point deficit in the second half to beat the slumping Philadelphia Eagles 37-31 Sunday.Miami (3-9) rallied with three touchdowns in less than 13 minutes, a remarkable achievement for one of the NFL’s least formidable offenses.“This team knows how to deal with adversity,” said rookie coach Brian Flores, whose Dolphins have showed a lot more life since starting the season 0-7. “We’re just going to keep swinging.”Miami won for the third time in their past five games, a surprising and perhaps costly turnaround for a team that will be shopping for a franchise quarterback in the 2020 draft. The win likely took the Dolphins out of the running for the No. 1 pick.The result definitely was costly to the Eagles (5-7), who lost their third game in a row and missed a chance to pull into a tie with Dallas atop the NFC East.Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson acknowledged that his team is now a long shot for a playoff berth, and that he’ll need to combat doubt in the locker room.“There will be a little bit of that,” he said. “We have to guard against that. We’re still a good team.”Trickery helped the Dolphins, who twice opted not to kick on fourth down and instead threw for a touchdown. The second such gamble by Flores paid off when Miami shifted out of field goal formation before holder Matt Haack threw an underhand 1-yard pass to Sanders.The 6-foot-3 Parker did much of the rest. He finished with seven receptions for a career-high 159 yards and two scores, both on leaping grabs.“Hats off to DeVante for the display he put on,” quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. “That was special. When you’re throwing to a guy who is making plays like that, it’s easy to play quarterback.”Parker’s final leaping grab was a 34-yard catch to set up the score that put the Dolphins ahead to stay with 11 minutes left."If it's coming to me, I'm getting it. It's my ball,” Parker said. “That's how I feel."Tight end Mike Gesicki also got into the act, soaring for a 14-yard touchdown catch.Fitzpatrick’s surehanded targets helped him finish 27 for 39 for 365 yards and three touchdowns as Miami achieved season highs in points and yards (408).Sanders returned to his usual role to kick a 51-yard field goal with 3:37 left that made the score 37-28. The Eagles kicked a field goal with 1:51 left and got the ball back, but Carson Wentz’s desperation pass from midfield on the final play was intercepted in the end zone.Wentz threw for three touchdowns to help build a 28-14 lead, but the Eagles were kept out of the end zone over the final 26 minutes.That quieted the many thousands of green-clad spectators rooting for the visitors, who outnumbered Dolphins fans."The fact that they had more fans than us kind of makes me mad,” Parker said.GAMBLES PAY OFFPhiladelphia was expecting a field goal try when Haack stood and instead took a shotgun snap Color Rush Oshane Ximines Jersey , with five teammates flanked far to the left and four far to the right.Haack rolled left before flipping a pass to Sanders, who was part of the group on the left before slipping into the end zone uncovered.“It's exactly what we planned for,” Haack said. “That was pretty cool."Flores didn’t mind the fluttery quality of Haack’s throw.“However it gets there,” the coach said.Flores opted not to punt on fourth and 4 in the first quarter, and instead Parker scored on an eye-popping 43-yard catch and run, toe-tapping along the sideline to the end zone.INJURIESDolphins running back Kalen Ballage left in the second quarter with a left leg injury and didn’t return.Linebacker Nigel Bradham was evaluated for a head injury and cleared to return.UP NEXTEagles: play host to the Giants on Monday, Nov. 9. The Eagles have won five in a row in the series and face the Giants again in the final game of the regular season.Dolphins: play next Sunday at the Jets. Miami beat New York 26-18 in Week 9.Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve_Wine Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are your headlines for the final regular season Friday of 2018.Barkley won’t accept poor gamesSensational rookie running back Saquon Barkley has seen a big drop in his rushing production that last two weeks – 31 yards against Tennessee and 43 yards at Indianapolis. In those two losses, he averaged 2.2 yards a carry and did not have a run longer than 17 yards.“I don’t think you ever accept it,” he said “You go back, you watch what the defense did to stop you, what they did to help them in the game, and what you could’ve done better, and you just learn from that. That’s what’s so special about this game, especially about being a competitor. It’s not always going to go your way. That’s just how life works.“The last two weeks haven’t been going my way. The Titans, we didn’t play as well as we could as a whole on offense, but last week, we were able to still put up 27 points. I had a really strong outing in the past game for the majority of it. We just didn’t find a way to win. That’s the beauty of the game, when they try to take away one part of your game, and you got to beat them on the next part. We got to find a way to do that. The struggles aren’t hard to accept Youth Oshane Ximines Jersey , because I don’t accept them. I just learn from it and get better.”Barkley can reach a couple of milestones this week. He has 1,886 yards from scrimmage and needs 114 to join Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (2,212 scrimmage yards in 1983) and Edgerrin James (2,139 yards in 1999) as the only rookies in history with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards. Barkley has 87 receptions and needs two catches against the Cowboys to surpass Reggie Bush (88 receptions in 2006) for the most catches by a rookie running back in league history. He also needs five catches to break Odell Beckham, Jr’s Giants rookie record of 91.“To even put myself in the position to come into the last week to get two catches to break someone who I looked up to growing up, Reggie Bush,” Barkley said. “To get 2,000 yards, to do this, to do that – like I said, you can’t do it by yourself. You definitely got to give credit to the men around me, especially the guys up front. Especially (quarterback) Eli (Manning) helping me out as a young guy. Not really worried about the records. I care less if I get to 2,000 or if I get the two receptions. I think it’ll be great, it’ll be special for not only myself, but for the team. It would be more special if we get a win.”Mike Shula: “Lucky to coach” Eli ManningOffensive coordinator Mike Shula said “oh, yeah” when asked Monday if quarterback Eli Manning had more productive seasons ahead.“I think Eli’s been great. It’s been great working with him. He’s extremely smart, he’s the same guy every day, he’s very talented and I feel lucky to coach him and I think I feel bad that we have one more game, we all have Womens Oshane Ximines Jersey ,” Shula said. “We’ve been close on some and we know we all got to get better and I think we will and he will and as we evolve in this system and be around each other more.”Biggest defensive need? Bettcher won’t sayPass rush? Cornerback? Safety? Linebacker? Defensive coordinator James Bettcher is not willing right now to identify what the Giants’ biggest defensive need to address will be this offseason.“To be honest with you, that’s something I couldn’t even 100 percent jump on the table and answer right now,” Bettcher said. “I think that would be a thing as we sit down after the season and evaluate everything fully, otherwise I’m going to shoot from the hip and shoot from something that, ‘hey, this flashes as a need or that flashes as a need’. But to make good judgment, sound statements, I wouldn’t be able to give you a great statement other than shooting from the hip. I don’t want to do that.”Around the Inter-Google3 HOFers give advice on how Eli Manning, Giants should endThree Hall of Famers – Curtis Martin, Troy Aikman and Steve Young – gave their best advice on how to handle this awkward and maddening situation in New York.Saquon Barkley Did Not Fix The 2018 GiantsIn 2013 and 2014, no running backs were selected in the first round.
