The Rams (8-3) held off the New Orleans Saints (8-3) for a 26-20 victory today at the Coliseum.
Nothing about the challenge came shrouded in mystery.
The high-powered
The San Francisco 49ers have some sort of plan for Jimmy Garoppolo, but so far it hasn’t involved throwing a pass.
But all that changed in the final seconds of the 49ers’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday as the veteran backup made his debut and completed two straight passes in the final 66 seconds.
Garoppolo came into the game after rookie start C.J. Beathard suffered an apparent knee injury in the red zone. Beathard walked off the field under his own power, which is a good sign going forward, but that forced San Francisco to play Garoppolofor the first time.
It was bound to happen eventually.
The Raiders’ streak of games without an interception ended today when Oakland was the beneficiary of a few lucky bounces.
Denver Broncos second-year pro Paxton Lynch, making the third start of his career, threw a pass to tight end Virgil Green on second and goal from the 1-yard line and saw the ball carom off of his player, a defender and ultimately end up in the lap of linebacker Navarro Bowman, who was lying on the ground.
