The enjoyed one of their most succe sful drafts in recent memory in 2021 and are now looking to build upon that young core this offseason. With the quarterback position now figured out following the selection of last year, one of the club's biggest needs on the offensive side this offseason comes at wide receiver. Specifically, the Patriots need a talent that sits atop the depth chart at that spot.With the NFL Scouting Combine upon them, New England appears to be in the initial stages of po sibly filling that need. According to , Jim Thome Jersey the Patriots have set up meetings with a handful of wide receiver prospects, including Ohio State's Chris Olave, Treylon Burks of Arkansas, and Alabama's Jameson Williams. When it comes to those three pa s catchers, Salguero adds that New England will conduct those interviews back-to-back-to-back so they can directly compare the players against one another.In his , CBS Sports NFL Draft expert Ryan Wilson has Burks (No. 12 overall), Williams (No. 28), and Olave (No. 32) all coming off the board in the first round and somewhat within New England's range at No. 21 overall. It should be noted Zack Wheeler Jersey that Wilson does have the Patriots taking USC receiver Drake London in the first round.Williams is one of the more intriguing prospects for the Patriots on a couple of different fronts. While considered arguably the most talented receiver in this cla s, his draft stock has taken a bit of a hit after he suffered a torn ACL in the National Championship Game against Georgia. However, Bill Belichick could look at that as finding value that would otherwise not be available to him. Of course, there's also that Alabama Richie Ashburn Jersey connection thanks to the friendship between Belichick and Nick Saban. That certainly played a role in the club identifying former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones as their next signal-caller last offseason, and it wouldn't be a surprise to hear about Belichick ringing up his old pal to get the scoop on Williams. Meanwhile, has Burks as the No. 3 Philadelphia Phillies Jersey ranked receiver in this cla s (No. 17 overall), and Olave slots in as the fifth-best receiver (No. 23 overall).While the Patriots could look to the draft to fill this need at receiver, the team has historically struggled to find help at this position in the top half of the NFL Draft. The team selected in the first round of the 2019 draft and he has yet to make an Tim McCarver Jersey impact comparable to his draft status. New England has also seen the likes of (second round, 2015), (second round, 2006) and others flame out under Bill Belichick. Given that track record, the safer route could be to look at the free-agent or trade market, albeit with that path coming at a much higher cost. No matter which way they addre s it, however, it's promising that they are combing through some of the elite options at the draft to po sibly pair a high-ceiling receiver alongside Mac Jones as he enters Year 2.

Robin Van Persie mi sed a penalty and Marouane Fellaini was sent off as Manchester United remain top of group A despite a 0-0 draw and the creation of further scandal surrounding a certain winger.Leaving San Sebastian, United will rue mi sed chances. Javier Hernandez, 2 days after his controversial retweet of a post by international team mate Carlos Vela demanding more game time, mi sed a predatory tap in; the sort of which has made his name. Robin Van Persie saw a powerful drive ricochet Babe Herman Jersey off the post before the very same post denied him again from the penalty spot.Both of these were surprising sites, yet in a game which was low on action, the unsurprising site was Ashley Young on the turf, just 5 minutes after having come on. Ashley Young is becoming an increasingly Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey large headache for David Moyes. Following a good debut season for United, a succe sion of poor performances and poor sportsmanship along with the emergence of Adnan Januzaj make his inclusion in the squad increasingly hard to justify. Whilst there was very slight contact from the Sociedad defender, the contact appeared to be initiated by Young, whom took those vital few steps before going down. United players turned away expecting nothing from the incident yet the stadium arose in anger as referee, Nicola Rizzoli awarded a spot kick. The phrase swings and roundabouts seems apt as the penalty was justly Maury Wills Jersey mi sed.The controversy surrounding Ashley Young, as well as increasingly loud voices from the United faithful questioning the value of their new 27.5 million midfielder, masked another lacklustre performance. Real Sociedad sat pointle s at the bottom of group A and 20 points behind Barcelona in La Liga and yet the Premier League champions acro s the course of two games failed to unlock La Reals defence. David Price Jersey Despite dominating po se sion throughout the game the killer pa s is not there, and has not been since Owen Hargreaves left Manchester United in 2011. Shinji Kagawa was given 15 minutes playing in the number 10 role which United fans have been craving for months. The attacking impetuous from United was markedly improved in this period, but a cameo is all it will ever be Victor Gonzalez Jersey . In order to satisfy The Red Devils two superstars, Van Persie and Rooney, Kagawa will never break into this role and Moyes intent to bed in Fellaini beside Michael Carrick in the long term means creativity may become Moyes blind spot, as it was Fergusons.Attention now turns to Sunday, as Manchester United seek to cut the gap to the top to 5 points as title pretenders Arsenal seek to prove their title credentials on the back of a fine win away to Dortmund.

We are five games into to the Denmarks world cup qualification campaign Christian Folin Jersey and things are looking good for Morten Olsen and his troops. Despite being handed some fairly tough opponents in Group A such as World Cup semi-finalists Portugal and Sweden the Danes have made fantastic progre s so far.Denmarks campaign started at the Pusks Ferenc Stadion in Budapest where Olsens men failed to break down a tough Hungarian outfit captained by Fulhams Zoltan Gera. Four days later Denmark faced arguably their toughest test in Group a when they travelled to Lisbon to meet Portugal. Manchester Uniteds Nani fired the home side into the lead three minutes before the half-time whistle but Denmark pulled level courtesy of Arsenals striker Nicklas Bendtner. The goalscoring continued to be dominated by Premier League players when Howard Webb gave Portugal a penalty andDeco gladly swept the ball past Stephen Anderson in the Denmark goal. Portugal looked like they would be claiming all three points with just 4 minutes left on the clock but Olsens men produced a stirring fightback with goals from Juventuss Christian Poulsen and Werder Bremens Daniel Jensen to claim all three points in injury time. After the game a obviously delighted Morten Olsen said This was a dream scenario. I Matt Dumba Jersey didnt think we had it in us physically to come back from 1-0 and then 2-1, but Minnesota Wild Jersey everybody delivered a fantastic performance. Next up for Denmark was a home game against Malta. Denmark were labelled as huge favourites and did not disappoint with a brace from Soren Larsen and a penalty from Dan Agger sealing a 3-0 victory. Denmark were sitting pretty at the end of 2008 with an impre sive seven points from their first three games, a return that would please DBU officials and the Danish public alike.Denmarks first World Cup Qualifier in 2009 was the return game against the Maltese in TaQali. In front of a disapointing crowd of just 6,235 Denmark sealed another comfortable 3-0 win over Malta. Soren Larsen impre sed again with another two goals and Copenhagens Morten Nordstrand scored the third. Four days Jason Zucker Jersey later Albania were the visitors to the Parken Stadium and Denmark sealed their third consecutive 3-0 win and their fourth win in a row. Ex-Fulham man Leon Andreasen bagged Denmarks first after 31 minuites and just 6 minuites later the lead was doubled by hitman Soren Larsen who scored his fifth goal of the qualification campaign. With 10 minuites left on the clock Christian Poulsen popped up to make it 3-0. This is how the group table looks so far : Denmark 513 Hungary 613Portugal 5 6Sweden4 6Albania 7 6Malta 71Denmark have made a great start to their qualification campaign Ryan Suter Jersey and they are sitting pretty at the top of Group Awith 13 points from just 5 games they are level on points with Hungary who they have a game in hand over and 7 points clear of the chasing pack. Next up for the Danes are Sweden in Stockholm, a game that will be refereed by Englishman Mike Riley. If Denmark keep up their good form they are shoe-ins for qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The 2021/22 Premier League season has started to shape up now, with the second seriously-contended London derby of the campaign concluding Matchday 5.Chelsea had only faltered once so far in a where they spent the majority of the match with a numerical disadvantage, while Tottenham Hotspur had enjoyed a perfect start in the first three weeks until Crystal Palace derailed everything.With the likes of Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs looking poised to mount serious title challenges, any other contenders would have to keep step with them.Chelseas sheer quality easily places them in that bracket, but Tottenham will undoubtedly have to prove their title credentials if any on the pitch.A direct clash against one of the top sides in a London derby was about as good an opportunity they would get for that.There was some excellent pre-match news for them as star forward Heung-min Son returned from injury, while Chelsea were mi sing first- Michael Pineda Jersey choice keeper Edouard Mendy and NGolo Kant could only make the bench.In recent history, Tottenhams approach to such big matches has been characterised by compact defensive blocks with an emphasis on counter-attacking, both under Jos Mourinho and during the interim tenure of Ryan Mason.Nuno Espirito Santo looked set to be continuing that as he found succe s in his debut match against Manchester City by containing the defending champions in a narrow 4-3-3 block and causing lots of problems in transition.Therefore, Thomas Tuchel must have been a little bit surprised when he would have seen this as Chelsea circulated po se sion around their defence for the first time.The home side pre sed Chelsea really high up the pitch and with good intensity, using their front three to take the Blues three centre-backs out of the equation, while the wide midfielders marked the double pivot and the full-backs latched onto the wing-backs. Interestingly, Harry Kane was on the left Ervin Santana Jersey while Son took up a central position, most likely because the South Korean international brought greater intensity while pre sing and could cause Kepa Arrizabalaga much greater problems while closing him down, as a back-pa s seemed to be the trigger for Spurs pre s.Sons central position might also have been part of a ploy to use his incredible speed to target Thiago Silvas relative lack of pace by playing balls in behind him, but it was most likely a combination of both.The involvement of Cristian Romero was Fernando Rodney Jersey also crucial for Spurs pre s because his front-foot defending helped prevent multiple transition attacks by Chelsea.Front-foot defending e sentially refers to the action of getting in front of ones opponent to cut out line-breaking pa ses as opposed to dropping off and facing them one-on-one.This is, of course, a high-risk manoeuvre as one mi sed interception can easily prove fatal, but Romero was faultle s in this regard on the night.Tuchels solution was to switch to a 3-5-2 towards the end of the first half by dropping Mason Mount into midfield with Jorginho at the heart of it.This matched Spurs three-man midfield numerically, preventing them from committing too many midfielders to the high pre s for fear of being sliced through with the help of Chelseas extra midfielder, and that proved to be a pivotal change.Surprisingly, even though Tottenham would have been pleased with their pre s for the first half-hour of the match and undoubtedly caused many problems in Chelseas ranks, the Blues never gave po se sion away in their defensive third at any point in the game.This brilliantly encapsulates their superb quality even when they find themselves on the ropes, they never give Jose Berrios Jersey in.In the end, Tottenham fell comfortably short to Chelsea after they conceded a set-piece goal and were victims of an unfortunate deflection.That demoralisation, coupled with the fatigue that inevitably started to set in as the match wore on really derailed all of their intent, and the visitors moved into their typical cruise control with yet another two-goal lead, once again adding a third Jake Odorizzi Jersey late on in the match.The good news for Spurs is that they will not have to face a side as good as Chelsea every week, so there certainly are positives to take from this match because they could go toe-to-toe with the Blues for a prolonged period here. That should indicate that although they most likely will not be able to compete for the title till the end of the season, they should be able to establish themselves as the best of the rest for now.The last few years have been kind to the top teams in England that have instilled such high pre sing as one of the fundamentals of their playing style most notably Manchester City and Liverpool but Spurs have not been a part of that group.Whether this match marks the start of a fresh, positive defensive approach for Tottenham or was just a one-off, only time can tell.Read: .

We're now a week into the NFL playoffs, and the field of teams remaining in the mix for the Super Bowl is down to eight. By the end of this weekend we'll have narrowed it further, with just two teams in the AFC and two in the NFC vying for the represent their respective conferences on the biggest stage in football.As usual, we expect some pretty wild stuff to happen Curtis Granderson Jersey when these games actually begin. So, we are here once again with out bold predictions. Just like last week, we've got one for each matchup on the schedule.When the Chiefs and Jaguars played back in Week 10, had a good game. He caught 6 of 7 pa ses thrown in his direction, totaling 81 yards and a touchdown. But as we know, Kelce is capable of much more than even that stat line. And the Jaguars struggled badly to defend tight ends this season. Jacksonville ranked 32nd (also known as last) in the NFL in DVOA on throws to tight ends, according to Football Outsiders. The Jags yielded 81 receptions for 1,066 yards and seven scores to players at the position, and we have seen their linebackers, in particular, get taken advantage of in coverage throughout the year. Even against the last week, and Donal Parham combined for 10 receptions for 133 yards and a score on 13 targets. Expect Kelce to have a big day Dalton Pompey Jersey on Saturday. Danny Dimes showed a ton of improvement this season in just about every area. Nowhere was that more evident than in his performance against the on Super Wild Card Weekend, which might have been the best game of his career. Jones completed 24 of 35 pa ses for 301 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing 17 times for 78 additional yards. In two games against Minnesota this season, Brian Daboll and Co. allowed Jones to air it out, taking advantage of one of the NFL's friendliest pa s defenses. The Eagles do not Jaime Garcia Jersey have a friendly pa s defense. They have one of the best pa s-rush units in the league, and an extremely sticky group of coverage players. Jones was 18 of 27 pa sing for 169 yards and a touchdown the last time these two teams played, and though he added four carries for 26 yards and an additional score, he also took four sacks. The Giants offense is better now than it was then, but dealing with this Philadelphia defense is still a much tougher task than the one it faced a week ago.The Bengals are hemorrhaging offensive linemen by the week. Back in Week 16, they lost right tackle for the season to a torn ACL. In Week 18, they lost guard to an ankle injury. And last week in the Wild Card Game against the , they lost left tackle to a knee i sue. The Bengals will likely be starting only two-fifths of their starting offensive Joe Carter Jersey line. They could maybe get away with starting or or ... but all of them? That is simply too much to survive against the Buffalo defense -- even with at the controls. , , , , , Boogie Basham, -- the Bills have just have too much talent up front. And they can supplement that group with and flowing to the ball. barely broke a sweat during the 49ers' offensive detonation against the last week. Among his 30 pa sing attempts, just TWO were thrown into a tight window, according to NFL.com's Next Gen Stats. That's the Kyle Shanahan Effect. San Francisco's offensive mastermind can scheme players open as well or better than any coach in the NFL, and with , , , , and , he has one of the Jesse Barfield Jersey best skill-position corps in the NFL with which to work. It's borderline unfair. The Dallas defense shut down Tampa on Monday night, but it's still working shorthanded in the secondary and could have a somewhat gimpy after he sustained a knee injury against the Bucs. The bet here is San Francisco finds a way to take advantage of that group on the back end.

John Harbaugh is more than happy the new third quarterback rule is in place for the 2023 season. The head coach said his franchise had tried to get this rule in place by last year's playoffs. Lance Parrish Jersey The Ravens actually submitted a proposal to have an extra roster spot for a third quarterback active for the 2022 postseason. With injury and the uncertainty about whether he would return, the rule would have been beneficial for Baltimore."... We actually put this rule proposal in," Harbaugh said. "(Ravens director of football research) Scott Cohen and (executive vice president) Ozzie Newsome worked on it during the season last year. We proposed it for the playoffs, and hey, you know what, hindsight is 20/20, right?"But those Jose Iglesias Jersey guys actually thought of it before. You don't want to be in a situation now, with the way protocols are going, where a team is deprived of a quarterback. So, I think it's common sense. I applaud the league; I applaud the Competition Committee, the owners for voting it in, the league office for supporting it."I think it's a good move, and we'll just have to figure out our roster going forward with that rule in mind." The Ravens had Jackson as an inactive due to a knee injury for their wild card lo s to the . No. 2 quarterback didn't play in the final regular season game due to tendonitis in his throwing shoulder, but he started against the Bengals JaCoby Jones Jersey and played all 69 offensive snaps. was the backup, but the Ravens only had two quarterbacks available for the game.Baltimore had on the practice squad, but chose not to promote him to the active roster for the wild card game. Whether Huntley could've played or not, the third quarterback rule would have allowed Hundley to be promoted as quarterback insurance (as he could have dre sed for the game but didn't have to be used unle s Huntley or Brown suffered an injury Spencer Turnbull Jersey ).Of course, the rule doesn't apply to practice squad quarterbacks. All three quarterbacks have to be on the 53-man roster for the rule to be in effect. For 2023, the Ravens signed to compete for a roster spot with Huntley and Brown (Baltimore has four quarterbacks with experience). "He's a veteran quarterback who we know," Harbaugh said Victor Martinez Jersey of Johnson. "It's great having him back. He's going to be great for our room, our team. He'll compete for the second quarterback spot, and we'll see how it plays out."

is after entering the as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 draft. But the new defensive tackle could face additional questions about his recent past, with that the former Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey Georgia star was driving with a suspended license on the night of a fatal car crash involving a Bulldogs teammate and recruiting staffer.Carter, 22, previously pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckle s driving and racing for his reported role in the Jan. 15 incident, when he allegedly raced a vehicle driven -- and ultimately crashed -- by recruiter Chandler LeCroy, 24. Both LeCroy and Carter's teammate Devin Willock, 21, were killed in the accident.Carter, who was sentenced to a 12-month probation, fined $1,000 and ordered to 80 hours of Michael Conforto Jersey community service, was not charged with driving with a suspended license. But court documents indicate he did just that, per ESPN, after initially losing Noah Syndergaard Jersey his license as a result of a 2022 speeding ticket. Carter had elected to participate in traffic school after that speeding ticket, ESPN reported, but failed to do so. A by Dave Willock Sr., father of the late Devin Willock, also named Carter as a defendant, mentioning two other speeding incidents, including another 2022 stop that resulted from Carter allegedly going 89 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone.Carter's attorney, Kim Stephens, told ESPN that the defensive lineman would've been charged for the alleged suspended license if records had shown as much Nolan Ryan Jersey , claiming "the driver's history that the solicitor's office ran back in March of 2023 did not show any license suspension." Regardle s, Carter cannot be retroactively charged with an additional wrongdoing since the case regarding the Jan. 15 accident is closed, according to ESPN. Since drafting Carter No. 9 overall, the Eagles Tug McGraw Jersey have repeatedly defended the rookie's character, reiterating they did extensive background work on the Georgia product in the lead-up to the draft.

The ended the NFL's longest postseason victory drought in the wild card round last week. The franchise snapped another dubious playoff drought with their stunning 19-16 victory over the Saturday.With the win, Cincinnati advances to the AFC Rod Woodson Jersey Championship Game for the first time since the 1988 season -- ending the longest conference title game drought in the NFL at 33 years. The now own the longest conference title game drought, not advancing that far in the playoffs since the 1989 season.Each times the Bengals Daimion Stafford Jersey made it to the AFC Championship Game, they went to the Super Bowl (1981, 1988). This will be the Bengals' first Mike Webster Jersey AFC Championship Game on the road, as they will face either the or next weekend. Cincinnati is the No. 4 seed in the playoffs while the Chiefs and Bills are the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, respectively.The Bengals never won a road playoff game in franchise history before Saturday's win over the Titans, losing their previous seven appearances (0-7). The Titans fell to 0-3 as a No. 1 seed, Alejandro Villanueva Jersey losing in the 2000 and 2008 divisional round to the and in 2021 divisional round to the Bengals. The Titans have not won a playoff game in Nashville Mel Blount Jersey since the 2002 AFC Divisional Round against the and have lost their last four playoff games at home. The Bengals continue to rewrite their franchise history books with each playoff win, looking to snap their 33-year Super Bowl appearance drought with a win next weekend.

When the 2021 season ended, thought for sure that he'd be returning to play at least one Brett Gardner Jersey more year in the NFL, but after taking the past three months to think things over, the wide receiver is now considering retirement.During this week, the three-time Pro Bowler admitted that he might be ready to hang up his cleats for good after 14 NFL seasons."I'm not really sure if I'm going to play in 2022 or not," Jackson said. "I know I announced it and said I was going to play, but it's just really where I am at this point in my life, it's got to be the right fit. To play 14 years in the NFL, going to Philly, going to Washington, Tampa, going back to Philly and then playing for the and then playing for the , it's got to fit right for me, but my career has been one hell of a ride."If the 35- Brian Roberts Jersey year-old wide receiver does decide to come back for another season, he's not going to be willing to play for just anyone. As a matter of fact, Jackson will only really be looking for one thing in a potential new team and that's a "great quarterback." The veteranalso listed four teams that he'd definitely be willing to sign with. "If the Randy Johnson Jersey right situation calls, a great quarterback, not just a a good quarterback ," Jackson said of what he'll potentially be looking for. "There's a few teams I'd play for : The maybe one. The . in Denver. Green Bay... We'll see for sure."Jackson has played with five different teams over the course of his career. After being drafted by the with the 49th overall pick in 2008, he ended up spending six years in Philadelphia before heading to Washington for three seasons starting in 2014. Jackson also spent two years with the (2017-18) before returning to Philly for two seasons (2019-20). In 2021, he played for two teams: He started the year with the Rams, but then signed with the Raiders shortly after being released by Los Luis Severino Jersey Angeles in November.One reason Jackson might call it quits is because he's happy with how his career has turned out. "I've already surpa sed every level I ever thought I would accomplish," Jackson said.The speedy receiver has been one of the best deep threats in NFL history. Not only did he lead the NFL in yards per catch a total of four Wade Boggs Jersey times in his career, but he also ranks second in league history on the list of most touchdown catches of 50 or more yards. Only Jerry Rice, who has 36, has more than Jackson's 34.One thing Jackson is still lacking is a Super Bowl win, which could be one reason why he wants to play with a great quarterback. Jackson has only played in one conference title game during his 14 seasons and he's never played in a Super Bowl. Even getting a playoff win would probably thrill Jackson since he hasn't been a part of one since his rookie year in 2008.

Super Bowl LVI, will kick off in a matter of hours, and it will feature the andduking it out for the chance to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. If you're anything like me, you've e sentially been counting down the seconds leading up to the Super Bowl ever since Championship Sunday. I'll even admit that I subjected myself to watching a flag football competition -- otherwise known as the Pro Bowl -- just to get my football fix.If you can't stand to wait until kickoff, I do have the next best thing for you fine folks that'll hopefully hold you over -- our CBS Sports simulation of Super Bowl LVI!We sparked up Madden NFL 22, set up this Super Bowl matchup, and kicked back to see how the virtual action would unfold. And if you're a fan of the Rams, you'll likely be happy with what unfolded. If you San Jose Sharks Jersey root for the Bengals, just remember that it's just a video game .The Rams were able to win their second Super Bowl title in franchise history and first since the move back to Los Angeles in rather dominating fashion, taking down the Bengals, 38-20. That score also doesn't do justice to the first half shellacking that L.A. handed down en-route to a title. Our Madden Super Bowl simulation predicted the winner last year. Will it happen again??? Pick Six Podcast (@picksixpod) After a quiet couple of series to begin the game Patrick Marleau Jersey by both clubs, the Rams got the scoring going in a pretty controversial way. On a third-and-12 situation from the Cincinnati 34-yard line, uncorked a deep ball to on the left side of the end zone. Originally, the officials ruled that he was out of bounds, but a challenge by Sean McVay led to a reversal and the Rams going up, 7-0. In full transparency, it didn't look like Jefferson got two feet in bounds, but the virtual officials felt otherwise upon further review (Maybe video games have become more realistic!).The Bengals did answer that touchdown drive by the Rams with a score of their own as completed a pa s to Joel Ward Jersey to knot the game at seven, but L.A. quickly matched that score by driving down the field and . scoring a 7-yard touchdown pa s to make it 14-7.It was at this point in the game that the Bengals started to get left in the dust. The Cincinnati offense took the field following that Beckham touchdown and found itself in a third-and-9 situation from their 24-yard line. After rolling out to his right, Burrow was sacked by and the football came loose. scooped it up and was able to rush it in for the touchdown to put the Rams up 21-7. Later in the second quarter, running back would cap off another touchdown drive for L.A. that would extend their lead to three scores.To their credit, the Bengals did show some fight in the first half even amid that scoring barrage by the Rams. They were able to find the end zone with just 50 seconds left before halftime to cut the deficit to 14 after Burrow connected with .However, in a similar vein to the forcing overtime against Buffalo with , the Rams were on the verge of a similar gut-punch. On the first play following that Bengals Joe Thornton Jersey score and 46 seconds on the clock, Stafford completed a 73-yard touchdown to Jefferson to further give L.A. what proved to be an insurmountable lead. Over the second half, the Rams milked the clock with the ground game while the Bengals offense stalled out and ultimately settled for some questionable field goals attempts and eventually brought us to a 38-20 final in favor of Los Angeles, who become the second team in Super Bowl history to win the big game at their home stadium.Aaron Donald was named Super Bowl MVP after a dominating performance. The star defensive lineman finished with 13 total tackles (four tackles for a lo s) and that fumble recovery for a touchdown.Pretty much from wire-to-wire, this was a dominating game by the Rams, which they would certainly love to replicate in the actual game. Of course, that'll be easier said than done as the Bengals will likely feature star receiver, , to a much higher degree than their video-game counterparts did as he didn' Joe Pavelski Jersey t record his first catch until midway through the third quarter. In any event, if the actual Super Bowl is anything close to what our Madden simulation showed us, we'll be in for an entertaining night.
