NFL Week 13 grades: Steelers receive a ‘F’ for their shocking loss to the Cardinals, while the 49ers receive a ‘A’ for dominating the Eagles.
We are going to grade every game that we have played so far in this crazy day of games. For the first time since 1944, the Lions led a team by at least 21 points after the first quarter in Detroit, as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Saints.
The Patriots may have finally reached the bottom in New England. The Patriots lost their third straight game in which they gave up 10 points or fewer, becoming the first team to do so in 85 years when they fell to the Chargers 6-0.
The franchise standard for scoring the fewest points in a victory was broken by the Chargers’ six points.
The 49ers inflicted the biggest defeat on the Eagles in Philadelphia since Jalen Hurts took the starting job.
“I believe, based on my experience coaching in FIBA, there is a flop rule,” Kerr said to reporters in May following the Warriors’ defeat in Game 4 during the Western Conference playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers.
“It is fairly penalizing for a referee to call a player who has flopped; they just label it a technical foul.
Therefore, flopping has essentially been outlawed in FIBA, and if we so want, we may do exactly the same approach in the NBA.
Moody was given a ticket for trying to draw triple free throws as his shot was in the air next to a Warriors 100-97 lead, following a pivotal 3-point attempt against the Clippers with about six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
This 17-10 victory over the 1-9 Panthers of Carolina on Sunday, though, in front of the sparsest Nissan Stadium crowd in a long time, was significant because it will temporarily silence the Mike Vrabel rumors.
Let’s have a little quiet time over the holidays. as well as common sense. Not only shouldn’t his job be in danger, but Vrabel’s coaching is one of the best things about the Titans.
With the recent run of 14 losses in 17 games for Vrabel, that’s a depressing reflection on the situation. However, the situation is depressing.
Even though Vrabel and a first-year manager of operations Ran Carthon approached the previous offseason as though they could postpone it, the rebuild is underway.
Due to years of making bad decisions at crucial times, this roster lacks talent. This football club is below average, 4-7, and appears bound for a 6-11. Perhaps it can tie the 7–10 from last year.
I have a tendency to proclaim, “They’re the Power Rankings, not the Power Standings,” far too frequently and with a hint of smugness.
Over the course of the season, the process becomes mechanical: I place my first order of 32 games during Sunday Night Football, watch the games I haven’t seen, write my little blurbs, finalize the order after Monday Night Football, and send it off to our amazing editors, who then style it beautifully and publish it online. People then become irate. It’s excellent.
All of this is supposed to be lighthearted, entertaining, maybe even educational, and a little bit frivolous.
Nothing here is serious at all; lightheartedness has always been my favorite approach to cover the National Football League.
I parked myself on my couch on Monday night in anticipation of what might have been the greatest game of the year: Bills vs. Bengals, with the AFC’s top seed potentially on the line.
In private, I had concluded that the result would probably also mean a new top spot within the Power Rankings. Playful and enjoyable. Hopefully instructive. not at all grave.
