A Weird Week in the NFL

As I was watching Sunday’s NFL games, I realized the rare oddities that seemed to occur. Starting on the East Coast in Cincinnati, the Bengals blocked two of the Browns' punts.  With blocked punts already being a rarity in most cases in the NFL, the second block by Cinci was even more significant because the guy with the recovery TD had just been promoted from the practice squad. Moving further south to Jacksonville, the Arizona Cardinals’ tailback Andre Ellington, who seems to always be in the news, ran into a horde of Jaguars on one run play in which DE Jason Babin walked away with a few locks of Ellington’s dreads.

Meanwhile, in the Midwest, the Ravens-Bears duel at Soldier Field was delayed due to tornado warnings and winds to match, resulting in a 3 1/2-hour first half. In the end at Soldier Field, the Bears won behind the modern-era Shane Falco, Josh McCown, and Ravens’ GM Ozzie Newsome was taken to the hospital on an ambulance.

Until next time, good luck to these players. Get well soon Newsome, and congratulations on getting your hair back, Andre!
