The Blue Jackets had been in a similar situation to the one they faced tonight with 20 minutes remaining. Their first period was dominant, again. They made a few mistakes in the second period, which allowed the Avalanche to work their way back into the game. Here they were in a 2-2 game going into […]
Bucks drop Cavaliers 118-101
November 30, 2016 by
Over the course on an 82-game season, every team is bound to have a clunker or two along the way – even a machine that’s been as running as smoothly as the Cavaliers have this year. The Wine and Gold turned in one of those on Tuesday night – as the Bucks overcome an early […]
Blue Jackets whip Lightning 5-1 to earn best November record ever
November 30, 2016 by
John Tortorella admitted he had some concerns about how the Blue Jackets would start this game. After 20 minutes had elapsed, those concerns had just about dissipated. Less than a week ago, Columbus went into Amalie Arena and outplayed the Lightning en route to a 5-3 win, and Tortorella figured the visitors would come into […]
Cavaliers beat Sixers 112-108
November 28, 2016 by
Over this past week, the Cavaliers used huge individual first-quarter performances to get out of the gate quickly and blow past their opponents. On Sunday, they did the exact opposite – rope-a-doping for three periods in Philly before “Mr. Fourth Quarter” took over to sink the Sixers. After starting the game missing their first 14 […]
Giants beat Browns 27-13
November 28, 2016 by
The Browns’ defense put together an imperfect but promising performance against the Steelers last week. They built on those bright spots Sunday against the Giants, but it wasn’t enough to lift Hue Jackson and Co. to their first win of the season. Instead, New York powered past Cleveland, 27-13, at FirstEnergy Stadium for their sixth-straight […]
Ravens beat Bengals 19-14
November 28, 2016 by
With a loss all but eliminating them from the AFC North race Sunday, the A.J. Green-less Bengals had plenty of effort but continued to scour the desert for points and couldn’t find enough in a 19-14 loss at M&T Bank Stadium. The loss leaves the stunned Bengals at 3-7-1 after their fifth straight road loss […]
Buckeyes edge Wolverines 30-27 in double overtime
November 28, 2016 by
The play was 29 Lead, and it will go down in history as how Ohio State beat Michigan in one of the greatest games ever played by the Big Ten’s most storied rivals. That’s pretty much all Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer wanted to talk about. Everything else about the second-ranked Buckeyes’ 30-27 victory over the […]
Blue Jackets beat Capitals 3-2, continue best ever start
November 21, 2016 by
The Blue Jackets were not happy with how they started Sunday’s game. As John Tortorella said afterward: “You never know what the hell’s going to be happen in a 12:30 game.” The first team to awaken usually has a leg up, but today, the Capitals’ quick start was quickly nullified by the Blue Jackets’ gradual […]
Steelers beat Browns 24-9
November 21, 2016 by
A bend-don’t-break sort of effort was unable to lift the Browns to their first win. Instead, Cleveland had trouble slowing the dynamic running back Le’Veon Bell and was unable to jump start its own offense, falling to the Steelers, 24-9, on a blustery Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Stadium. Trailing by eight points with 3:44 to […]
Bills down Bengals 16-12
November 21, 2016 by
Stunned by the loss of Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green on the second snap of Sunday’s game at Paul Brown Stadium and two missed extra points by Mike Nugent, the Bengals couldn’t overcome it and lost a crushing 16-12 game to the Bills before 61,356. The Bengals’ worst nightmare occurred when Green was carted […]
