arming people like that,"

First David Edwards Jersey nfl draft , Emmanuel Sanders wagged his right index finger in the face of Rams cornerback Troy Hill . Now, he's pointing it right at
himself after Denver's fourth consecutive loss.After his taunt came back to
haunt the Broncos, Sanders accepted the blame for Denver's latest loss in a
monthlong tailspin that has fans in the Rocky Mountains bracing for back-to-back
losing seasons for the first time since 1971-72."I guess this loss is on me,"
Sanders said after the Rams escaped frigid Denver as the league's lone unbeaten
team following a 23-20 win Sunday over the Broncos (2-4), who became the first
team in NFL history to allow a 200-yard rusher in back-to-back games.Sanders
thought he had a 44-yard TD catch from Case Keenum as he tumbled into the end
zone in the first quarter. He sprung to his feet and wagged a finger at
Hill.Side judge Brad Freeman threw the flag, calling a personal foul on Sanders
for taunting.Ordinarily, the flag wouldn't have mattered much because the
15-yard penalty would have been enforced on the ensuing kickoff and Brandon
McManus, after giving Denver a 7-6 lead with an extra point, undoubtedly would
still have booted the ball out of the end zone for a touchback.Upon review,
however, it turned out Hill had the last laugh, having touched Sanders before he
crossed the goal line.That put the ball at the 1.The penalty pushed them back to
the 16.After runs of 1 and 5 yards Tyler Higbee Jersey , Keenum's throwaway on third-and-4 brought in McManus for a field goal instead of an extra point and his 28-yarder cut Denver's deficit to
6-3.They never did get the lead and those four points would have made the
difference in a three-point loss."Me, honestly, I feel like the league is
getting soft," Sanders said. "I'm having fun. I didn't do anything crazy to the
guy besides say, 'Hey, I got you on that play.' I pointed my finger at him. And
they threw the flag."Sanders said he's done that his whole career and has never
been flagged for it."It was a great throw by Case, I came down with it, big
play, emotions are high. It's not like I walked up to him and head-butted him or
something," Sanders said. "But it cost my team. We lost by three points. I feel
like we could have easily punched that ball in and gotten four (more) points. I
guess this loss is on me."Vance Joseph, who fell to 7-15 as head coach, talked
to Sanders on the sideline."He can't do that Taylor Rapp Jersey Cheap ," Joseph said. "He knows that."Well, he does now."I don't think I did anything too crazy besides point a finger and tell the guy, 'Hey I
got you on that play.' I don't see the penalty in that," Sanders said. "But I
learned from it and like I said, it cost my team. I've just got to keep chugging
along and don't do it again."The costly foul from a nine-year veteran came one
week after Sanders' fellow SMU alum, rookie receiver Courtland Sutton , chased
down Marcus Maye at the 1 following a 104-yard interception return at game's
end, leaving the Jets safety with the longest such play without a score in NFL
history."We played two of the best teams in the league, the Chiefs and the Rams,
and the games came down to crunch time. And that just shows you what kind of
team that we are," linebacker Shane Ray declared. "We're a great football
team."Not at 2-4 they aren't.Even Fox play-by-play man Dick Stockton dissed the
Broncos by beginning the telecast saying, "the undefeated Rams take on the
Denver Nuggets."Other takeaways from Week 6 included:CUTTING OUT COLINThe 49ers
posted dozens of photos on its website of past games against the Packers in
advance of their Monday night game without at first including any of Colin
Kaepernick Taylor Rapp Jersey Womens , who set an NFL record for QBs by rushing for 181 yards in a playoff win against Green Bay on Jan. 12, 2013, threw for 413 yards in a
season-opening win against the Packers in 2013, and led a winning drive in a
playoff game in Green Bay on Jan. 5, 2014."We have fond memories of those games
and that should have been displayed on our website," the team said in a
statement after adding images of Kaepernick. "This oversight does not properly
reflect the appreciation our ownership and this team have for Colin."GRONK
HONKTom Brady made light of yelling at Rob Gronkowski in an Instagram post
following the Patriots' 43-40 win over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.In the
second quarter, the sideline microphones picked up Brady yelling at Gronkowski
to stand up out of his stance, and Brady ended up calling a timeout on the
play.Gronk came up big in the fourth quarter with a stiff-arm that helped him
gain 42 yards and set up a field goal that gave New England a 40-33 lead."Gronk,
you can line up however you want if you keep stiff-arming people like that,"
Brady said.MISSED CALLSAl Riveron, the NFL's senior vice president of
officiating, acknowledged for a second straight week that officials goofed in
not calling a running back for lowering his head and barreling into a
defender.In his weekly video Taylor Rapp white jersey , Riveron said Patriots rookie Sony Michel should have been flagged for lowering his head to initiate contact with Colts safety Clayton
Geathers in Week 5.A week earlier, Riveron noted that Chiefs running back Kareem
Hunt should have been flagged for doing the same thing to Broncos safety Justin
Simmons.Although Hunt got away without a penalty, his illegal hit did result in
a $26,739 fine.NO EXCEPTIONSRiveron defended referee Clete Blakeman's crew,
which didn't flag Steelers receiver Justin Hunter for blocking Bengals DB Tony
McRae beyond 1 yard past the line of scrimmage on Antonio Brown's 31-yard TD
catch from Ben Roethlisberger with 10 seconds left that gave Pittsburgh a 28-21
win on Sunday."The contact is initiated by the defender," Riveron said on
Twitter , "and therefore the receiver is not responsible for this contact."NFL
rule 8, Section 5, Article 4 states: "Blocking more than 1 yard beyond the line
of scrimmage by an offensive player prior to a pass being thrown is offensive
pass interference."The rule book, however, doesn't specify an exception for
defenders initiating contact. The defending NFC champions opened their offseason
program on Monday, without a pair of key defensive players present.Coach Sean
McVay acknowledged to reporters that linebacker Dante Fowler and cornerback
Marcus Peters did not attend. McVay didn’t fault them for being
absent Taylor Rapp Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , pointing out that the workouts are “voluntary” and that they “had communicated well ahead of time.” “Certainly, it
is voluntary and we understand that,” McVay said. “But as long as we just know
they’re in a good place or what’s going on with them. . . . [Fowler and Peters
will] be here once they get some of those things taken care of that they had to
do.”McVay also expressed hope that cornerback Troy Hill and linebacker Cory
Littleton, both unsigned restricted free agents, will soon join the team. “I
think once they come in, you’d like to be able to get those guys to sign,” McVay
said. “That’s something that we’re navigating through right now. Cory was the
other guy that he communicated to us that he had something going on. We don’t
expect anything to be different. Those are guys that we hope to be on our team
and looking forward to working with.”For a team that is known for its offense,
the L.A. defense also has significance. After all, it held the Patriots to a
mere 13 points in Super Bowl LIII, a thin silver lining in what ultimately was a
10-point loss.
