Vickers Leads Way To Houstons First Touchdown In First Half

It is not surprising that Lawrence Vickers put the key block on the Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain to open the hole that allowed Houston’s Arian Foster to score Houston’s only touchdown of the first half. Vickers is a specialist at opening holes for running backs. Vickers was key to several successful runs for Foster in the first half. The Houston Texans fell behind early to...

Will The Texans Arian Foster Be flustered Again In Baltimore?

When They Miss the Playoffs, the Browns Really Miss the Playoffs

We all know that the Browns and their 4-12 record missed the playoffs, but it had me thinking.  Are there even any influential players left in the playoffs that are former Browns?  Obviously guys playing special teams for San Francisco are important like Blake Costanzo are important, but I’m excluding guys like that.  I mean like real, bona fide starters and difference-makers...

Will This Be Peyton Hillis Last Season With The Cleveland Browns?

Peyton Hillis hasn’t contributed  much to the Cleveland Browns offense this year. As a matter of fact some think Hillis has been offensive to the Browns  much of this season. Hillis has 7 games under his belt this season and only has 346 yards rushing the football.  Hillis has 101 rushing attempts and only a 3.4 yard average per attempt.  One big reason I feel Hillis is...

Texans’ Vickers accuses PacMan Jones of spitting on him

There are plenty of unwritten rules in the world of competitive sports that have little to do with the way a game is actually executed. You tip a hat at a batter after hitting them unintentionally with a wild pitch. You don’t steal or bunt with big leads late in games. You don’t press with huge leads late in a basketball game. And, you certainly, in no circumstances...
