NFL Week 8 Recap | Sports

We’re half way through the NFL season and there are many storylines as expected. Following an off season dominated by talk of their bounty scandal, which resulted in the first ever suspension of a coach, the Saints have had the worst defense in NFL history, and have gotten off to a 2-5 start. Peyton Manning went to Denver before the season started as the biggest free agent signing in league history, and has his Broncos sitting atop their division, and seemingly have it wrapped up with half the season yet to go. There’s also the Atlanta Falcons, who went in to Philly this past Sunday, and beat the Michael Vick led Eagles, to remain the leagues lone undefeated team at 7-0. Week 9 kicks off tonight with Kansas City at division rival San Diego. Below are the scores from Week 8.

NFL Week 1 Recap | Sports

The NFL Season is upon us! Somewhat of an unofficial holiday here in the states, Opening Week provided plenty of highlights and thrills, but the play of Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III, was most captivating. Five rookie QBs started Sunday, the most ever on an opening day, but Griffin was the only one that was able to secure a win. He was 19-26 for 323 yards, and 2 Touchdowns, even more impressive was the fact that he did this on the road against a team, the New Orleans Saints, that didn’t lose any home games last season. Although it’s just one game Redskin fans have to be excited. Another huge story line was the return of the only man to win 4 NFL MVP awards, Peyton Manning. After a season off due to a neck injury, being cut by the Colts after 14 years in Indy, and relocating to Denver, Manning was able to lead the Broncos to victory against the Steelers. He was 19-26 with 253 yards and 2 Touchdowns.
