Word in July was that Jadeveon Clowney would report to the Texans until just before the start of the regular season
Brandon Dunn Jersey , but it appears that plan has shifted to give him a little bit more time with the team before they face the Saints on the first Monday
Night Football game of the year.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Clowney’s
plan is to report to the team after they face the Cowboys in their third
preseason game on August 24. Clowney would not play in the team’s final
preseason game, but would have some more time to work with the team and make
sure he’s ready to go for the regular season.The report calls that a “tentative
plan,” so there could be a change over the next couple of weeks but there’s no
expectation that Clowney will miss regular season time.Clowney is set to play
out the year under the terms of the franchise tag and would be set for
unrestricted free agency next year as long as the Texans don’t use the tag a
second time. JuJu Smith-Schuster began Week 16 with a promise to tough it out
for all those fantasy football owners trying to win their league championships.
He ended it with an apology for a mistake that might have wrecked Pittsburgh’s
playoff plans.Limited at practice all week by a sore groin, Smith-Schuster
tweeted before the Steelers’ showdown at New Orleans that he wouldn’t miss the
game for anything.“A lot on the line this week. The whole season comes down to
this,” Smith-Schuster tweeted. “I’m talking about the fantasy football
championship round. Of course I’m playing Sunday!! There’s no way I can let down
the real ones who believed in me by drafting me!! Let’s get it!!”Smith-Schuster
delivered 11 receptions for 115 yards. But he let down Steelers Nation with his
fumble at the New Orleans 34 in the final minute, sealing Pittsburgh’s 31-28
loss .That dropped the sliding Steelers out of first place in the AFC North and
endangered their chances of even making the playoffs.To claim the AFC
North
Tytus Howard Houston Texans Jersey , Pittsburgh (8-6-1) needs to beat Cincinnati next Sunday and have surging Baltimore (9-6) lose at home to Cleveland. Failing
that, the Steelers, who has lost four of their last five by a total of 16
points, would need the unlikely scenario of an Indianapolis-Tennessee tie to
earn a wild card berth.“When I’m at my lowest, I’m not going to hide,”
Smith-Schuster wrote in an Instagram post Monday. “I’m sorry. That loss was on
me. I let everyone down
Tytus Howard Jersey 2019 , it won’t happen again.”Smith-Schuster wasn’t the only one in the spotlight of blame and blunders. His coach, Mike Tomlin, is being
second-guessed for a failed fake punt that set up the Saints on Pittsburgh’s
side of the field for the game-winning touchdown drive with less than five
minutes left in the fourth quarter.Drew Brees threw the game-winning touchdown
toss to Michael Thomas with 1:25 remaining.“I just wanted to be aggressive,”
Tomlin said after the Steelers fell from fourth to eighth in the AFC playoff
picture thanks to two fumbles and the failed punt on their last three
possessions.Upback Roosevelt Nix took the snap, stepped to his right and ran up
the middle. He was stopped just shy of first down, although he celebrated as
though he’d fooled the Saints.“I didn’t even know it was coming
Color Rush Tytus Howard Jersey ,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said of the fake punt.The same couldn’t be said for the Saints (13-2), who captured the NFC’s top
seed for just the second time in their history. They parlayed the No. 1 seed in
2009 into their only Super Bowl championship.Despite their 38-31 loss to the
Seahawks on Sunday night, the Chiefs (11-4) can capture the AFC’s No. 1 seed
with a win over Oakland next week.Their generational quarterback already is a
big winner — in the marketing department.Hunt’s signed notorious ketchup lover
Patrick Mahomes as its brand ambassador after learning one of the QB’s culinary
passions is the red condiment he puts on everything from steak to mac &
cheese.“I’ve been a fan of ketchup for as long as I can remember, and the thick,
rich flavor of Hunt’s ketchup delivers every time,” Mahomes said — or at least
he read that advertising copy that was written for him.Other key decisions in
Week 16 included Raiders punt returner Dwyane Harris scooping up the loose ball
at Oakland’s 1-yard line Monday night and returning it 99 yards for a touchdown
on a muddy field in one of the most spectacular plays of the season. It tied for
the second-longest punt return in NFL history.Broncos rookie Isaac Yiadom tried
to down the ball just shy of the end zone but it squibbed away from him in the
drenched grass and Harris picked it up and swept around the right side for his
improbable score that gave the Raiders a 7-0 lead.Harris joined Patrick Peterson
(99 yards) and Robert Bailey (103) as the only players ever to score a touchdown
on a punt return of 99 yards o more. Next Gen Stats said he covered 157½ total
yards and almost hit 20 mph on his return.And the New England Patriots sent a
shout-out to Nick Foles
Cheap Tytus Howard Jersey , of all people, after the Eagles backup QB — who outdueled Tom Brady to secure Philadelphia’s Super Bowl win last season — did
them a huge favor.Foles threw for a franchise record 471 yards and four
touchdowns in leading the Eagles past the Texans 32-30, denying Houston the AFC
South title and sending the Patriots back into the No. 2 playoff spot.The
Patriots, who have won their division 16 times in the 18 years Brady has started
for them, haven’t had to play a wild-card game since 2009. And their five
championships each followed a first-round playoff bye like the one they’re in
line for following the Texans’ loss.So, the Patriots tweeted
