    Wild season for Seattle ends with questions on title window (Jan 16, 2017)
    RENTON, Wash. (AP) In the midst of all that happened this season between debilitating key injuries, inconsistent play on both offense and defense, and enough distractions to raise the ire of any coach, there was one particular aspect of the Seattle Seahawks season that stood out to Pete Carroll. That after all the chaos, Seattle had a chance at the No. 2 seed in the NFC and gave away that chance at a playoff bye and a divisional round game at home. ”We missed that opportunity,” Carroll said..

  • The Mixed Messages in Pittsburgh

    The Mixed Messages in Pittsburgh
    Bill Belichick has an axiom that he often invokes in team meetings. It’s called the Category of What We Are Not Looking For. The Patriots’ coach may show his players video of another team botching a play, such as a mishandled spike in a two-minute situation. Or he may bring up something that happened outside the white lines that created a distraction. Antonio Brown’s infamous Facebook live video from Sunday night would be a prime candidate. Perhaps Belichick will make mention of it this week wh..

    Steelers' first kickoff was only special teams blight in win against Chiefs - Pittsburgh Post
    Rather than a liability, the Steelers special teams turned out to be the most important unit Sunday. After Chris Boswell’s first kickoff, that is. Boswell kicked off to the Chiefs 20 after his first field goal. Kansas City’s dangerous kick returner, Tyreek Hill, did not receive the ball, but Demetrius Harris ran it back to the 45, giving the Chiefs prime field position and setting them up for an early touchdown. Safety Robert Golden described the Steelers’ efforts on the kickoff as “a miscommun..

    The Oregon Ducks football team came back from holiday break and got back to work to put a dismal season behind them. It appears some of them overdid it. At least three players, offensive linemen Doug Brenner and Sam Poutasi and tight end Cam McCormick, remain hospitalized in fair condition after falling ill during some intense workouts last week, according to The Oregonian. Poutasi’s mother told The Oregonian her son suffered from rhabdomyolysis — a syndrome in which muscle tissue breaks down..
