The points are there but i think we can all agree that the rhythm and execution is not.

The Arizona Cardinals announced on Wednesday that team owner Bill Bidwill has died. He was 88 years old.
Bidwill was the principal owner of the Cardinals since 1972. He and his brother Charles Jr. inherited the franchise upon their mother’s death in 1962. His father Charles bought the team in 1932 when it was based in Chicago.

Bidwill moved Cardinals to Arizona
Bill bought Charles Jr. out of his share in 1972. He moved the franchise from St. Louis to Phoenix in 1988.
His son Michael Bidwill is president of the Cardinals. He is assumed to take over control of the franchise.

The NFL released a statment on Bidwill’s death from commissioner Roger Goodell:

“Bill Bidwill was part of the NFL family his entire life, starting from his days as a ball boy through his time as an owner. Although never one to seek the spotlight, Bill had an incredible sense of humor and he made extraordinary contributions to the NFL. Bill's vision brought the Cardinals, the NFL and multiple Super Bowls to Arizona. He was a leader in embracing diversity and employed the first African American female executive, and the first African American general manager and head coach tandem. We extend our condolences to Bill's family and the Cardinals organization, which along with his faith, meant so much to him.”

Bidwill and his wife Nancy, who died in 2016, had five children — Nicole, Bill Jr., Michael, Patrick and Timothy.

Two key role players left Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with injuries and were unable to return, greatly impacting the defense. First, Bryce Hager went down with a shoulder injury in the first half after playing just 12 snaps. Then later in the game, Taylor Rapp injured his ankle and had to be carted to the locker room.
They’re not full-time starters, but both Rapp and Hager improve the defense over their current backups. unfortunately, there’s a chance neither player will be available on Thursday night against the Seahawks.

Rapp and Hager missed practice on Tuesday and remain uncertain to play in Seattle. According to Sean McVay, they’re making progress but will be game-time decisions.
“Yeah, it’s really kind of the same. Bryce and Taylor didn’t participate today. They’re making progress and it’s going to really go up to game time, until hopefully we’ll be able to have them. But we’re not sure right now,” McVay said after Tuesday’s practice.
The short week with a Thursday night game is certainly hurting the Rams in this situation, giving Rapp and Hager much less time to recover from their injuries. Had the game been scheduled for Sunday, it would’ve given them a few extra days to get healthy and potentially play.
If Rapp can’t play, McVay said Marqui Christian will fill in, just as he did on Sunday against the Bucs.

“Yeah, you would see some similar things. We could look at doing some different packages, but I think you’ll see an increased role for Marqui if that’s the case. He did a nice job stepping in the other day,” McVay said.
Andrew Whitworth was added to the injury report, but just for his usual veteran rest day. Marcus Peters was a full participant again, too.

Eric Weddle has been in the NFL for more than a decade. He’s played on a lot of good teams and made the playoffs five times. Yet, despite all the success he’s had, he has also lost a lot of games in his career.
Sunday against the Buccaneers was the latest defeat for Weddle, but it’s not one he’s stressing over. Yes, the Rams gave up 55 points and were beaten by 15 points at home by a team they were 10.5-point favorites against. And yes, there are causes for concern on both offense and defense.

But Weddle says this game an outlier and a performance like that won’t happen again in 2019.
“That’s an anomaly,” Weddle told Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. “We won’t play like that the rest of the year, so I’m not even stressed about what happened.”
Weddle was one of the few Rams who actually played relatively well on Sunday, leading the team with 15 tackles and two pass breakups. Of course, an effort like that in a loss won’t be remembered by many players, and the frequency with which he had to make tackles says a lot about how the front seven played.
The Rams won’t have much time to sit and think about the loss because they’ll face the Seahawks on the road Thursday night – a matchup between two 3-1 NFC West teams. Sean McVay sees the quick turnaround as a “blessing,” as he called it Sunday,” and hopes the team can use this chance to bounce back.

“I think you’ve got to believe that it’s a great opportunity for us to really just go compete again. I don’t necessarily know if it’s stress, but as much as just a great opportunity to go compete and have some urgency about trying to face some of the things that we didn’t do, fix them and let’s move forward accordingly with a mentally tough mindset and mentality,” McVay said at his press conference Tuesday. “I think it’s just got to be real. One of the things about these players is we’ve got a bunch of great guys in this locker room that do an excellent job of really responding on their own. I think they feel if it’s real, if its authentic and genuine, I think that our players would feel that it’s like that from our coaches.”

The Rams have the right guys in the building to respond to this loss, led by McVay, Weddle, Michael Brockers, Andrew Whitworth and Jared Goff, among others. It’s just a matter of making it happen and beating the Seahawks this week.

I don’t know why but I feel like we’re going to run the ball a lot against Seattle. I’m not saying McVay has purposely been throwing more, but it wouldn’t totally shock me if part of the plan is to throw teams off by making them think all the sudden we’re a pass-happy team. Mind you of course that’s what McVay does but he’s one of the most brilliant offensive minds in the game. I think we’ll have an excellent gameplan for the Hawks!

GO RAMS!

Do you do anything special when the Rams play on Thursday nights... on the road like this?

The games are so late where I live, I don’t normally do anything unique. I know, boring.

NFL 2-2 teams: Which of the 13 are for real and which will fade away? Let's sort them all out
The Browns, Chargers and Eagles are among 13 different teams sitting at .500 after a quarter of the season

Parity is a normal part of the NFL season, but after the first four weeks of the 2019 campaign, the middle of the standings is a popular place to be.

Make no mistake, we've got a few powerhouses atop the order. The New England Patriots (4-0) have yet to lose a game, and Las Vegas oddsmakers think there's a real chance they won't lose another one all season. The Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) are in the same boat, and their quarterback is a monumental favorite to repeat as league MVP. In the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers (3-0) are also undefeated, with a chance to improve to 4-0 off their bye against the Cleveland Browns on "Monday Night Football."

Those, however, are the exceptions -- along with the Division II cellar-dwelling Cincinnati Bengals (0-4), Denver Broncos (0-4), Miami Dolphins (0-4) and Washington Redskins (0-4), the competing favorites for 2020's No. 1 overall pick.

At the heart of the league reside a bunch of teams stuck in neutral, otherwise known as 2-2. To be exact, there are 13 different teams -- more than a third of the entire NFL -- with a .500 record after the first quarter of the season. What does it mean? Well, there's been some competitive football! But so many 2-2 starts means a handful of the teams smack dab in the middle of the standings are bound to take a step forward, and another handful are bound to take a step back as the season progresses.

Which of those 13 are actually for real?

CBS Sports' NFL crew offered their opinions on Tuesday's Pick Six Podcast. Check out the full show in the player below and be sure to subscribe right here to get daily NFL goodness fired into your eardrums on the reg.

Ryan Wilson was quick to defend the Philadelphia Eagles, who trail the Dallas Cowboys by a game in the NFC East, as contenders, calling them one of the safest bets to end the season better than .500.

"They went on the road and won in Lambeau," Wilson said. "And I thought Carson Wentz actually played well enough to merit a conversation about how I would take him over Aaron Rodgers."

Sean Wagner-McGough, meanwhile, highlighted the Cleveland Browns as another contender among the 2-2 crowd, saying "they're not as good as I thought they'd be" but pointed to how the rest of the AFC North has been "crashing down to Earth" and suggesting Baker Mayfield is only going to get better as the season goes on.

As for John Breech, he wants no parts of the Oakland Raiders as a contender despite their 2-2 start after a tumultuous offseason.

"I think their season will end at 6-10, tops," he said. "There's no way they're getting above .500."

Wilson lumped the New York Giants into the same boat as the Raiders despite some praise for rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

"They could very easily be 1-3," he said. "The Buccaneers, through sheer force of will, lost that game (to New York in Week 3). The defense is still terrible. Best-case scenario, they could be third in that division."

As for Will Brinson, the Pick Six host was all over the Los Angeles Chargers as a postseason contender, highlighting the trio of Philip Rivers, Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler, then assuring fans L.A. has a nice slate of upcoming games to boost its record.

"If you look at the schedule of games the Chargers have, they have the Broncos, Steelers, Titans, Bears in their next four games," he said, "which means the best quarterback they're going to play is either Mason Rudolph or Marcus Mariota. I think they're probably playing for a wild card at this point, but I would be very surprised if they weren't at least in the discussion."

I saw a quick segment on YouTube where Colin Cowherd said that Gurley was heard upset saying “whatever bro” after Goff audibled out of a running play, can anyone confirm? I haven’t seen anyone else talking about it, so this seems like the place to ask.

There was no winner last week, so the powers that be have given me the go ahead to bump up this weeks prize for this early pivotal NFCW match up

Prizes are 4500 for closest and 9000 for exact score. Winning team must be in original score post.

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports


Coming off a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams have a quick turn around as they’ll head on the road to face the Seahawks on Thursday night. Both teams sit at 3-1 and are a half-game back of the division-leading 49ers, making this a pivotal matchup in the NFC West.

This is a tough matchup for the Rams, given Seattle’s ability to run the ball and Los Angeles’ struggles to stop opposing rushing attacks. There are battles that favor the Rams, however, which they’ll need to exploit.

Here are five key matchups to watch in this Week 5 showdown.
Rob Havenstein vs. Jadeveon Clowney
Havenstein has been a disaster at right tackle this season, struggling against the likes of Cameron Jordan, Myles Garrett and Shaq Barrett. The road won’t get any easier this week with Clowney up next.

Clowney primarily plays left defensive end in Seattle’s 4-3 front, which means he’ll be rushing against Havenstein almost all game long. That presents major problems for the Rams, who must use tight ends and backs to help Havenstein out. Otherwise, Jared Goff might not make it all 60 minutes.

Clay Matthews vs. Germain Ifedi

Matthews has arguably been the Rams’ best defensive player thus far. He leads the team in sacks, tackles for loss and quarterback hits, and has taken full advantage of his opportunities thanks to Aaron Donald’s presence. On Thursday night, he’ll have a very favorable matchup with Ifedi, who is the Seahawks’ worst offensive lineman.

Matthews should be able to get to Russell Wilson at least once, but converting pressure into sacks could prove difficult because of the QB’s elusiveness. Matthews has to contain Wilson and prevent him from escaping the pocket.

Robert Woods vs. Shaquil Griffin

Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports

Griffin has been one of the better corners in the league this season, manning the left side of the defense for Seattle. The Rams play their receivers all over the field, but Woods most often lines up on the right side. Griffin isn’t the fastest corner, so Woods’ speed could be a challenge for him. The same goes for Brandin Cooks, who might see time on the right side, too.

Woods and Cooks have been great through four games, as has Cooper Kupp. They might be slowed by Seattle’s secondary thanks to the play of Griffin at cornerback. Expect the Rams to test Griffin with quick in-breaking routes and passes over the top to Cooks and Woods.

John Johnson vs. Will Dissly

Dissly isn’t a household name, but he’s a threat in Seattle’s offense. at 6-foot-4, his size presents problems for defensive backs, particularly in the red zone. Whether Taylor Rapp plays or not, Johnson will draw Dissly in coverage during the game. That’s a key matchup because Dissly has been a big weapon in the passing game and the Rams must keep him out of the end zone; he has four touchdowns this season.

Eric Weddle will be matched up with Dissly, too, which gives the tight end a clear advantage in height. He’s not the biggest playmaker Seattle has, but in the red area, he might just be.

Rams LBs vs. Seahawks RBs

The Seahawks love to impose their will on defenses with a power running game and physicality up front. They’ve run the ball 111 times this season and despite averaging just 4.0 yards per carry, they’ve still had success on the ground with Chris Carson. He has three carries of 20-plus yards and runs as hard as any back in the league.

Cory Littleton will need to match that physicality on the interior, as will Troy Reeder if Bryce Hager can’t play. Expect John Johnson and Weddle to play in the box some, too, in order to stop the run. But if Seattle has success on the ground against the Rams’ uninspiring run defense, Los Angeles could be in some trouble.

The LA Rams’ offense has been struggling mightily this season and the reasons are troubling.

Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus posted a tweet that listed the grades of the bottom five offensive lines in the NFL and the Los Angeles Rams were 32nd, below the hapless Cincinnati Bengals and even, gasp, the Miami Dolphins. What is happening? Are we in the Matrix and no one told me?

Monson mentioned in a reply to this tweet that the lowest graded OL on the LA Rams are RG Jamil Demby and RG Austin Blythe. The latter is troubling because Blythe played so well last season and it seemed like it he was a trustworthy lineman that the Rams could depend on to protect QB Jared Goff and to open up the run game.
Another concerning aspect to the offensive line is the deteriorating play of RT Rob Havenstein.

While EDGE Shaquil Barrett has been playing lights out this season, this play by Havenstein is ridiculous. During the broadcast, Rams fans rightly pointed the finger at Goff for throwing a bad pass, but upon closer inspection, the blocking let him down as well.
It’s a team game and everyone needs to play their part. Goff needs to execute his reads and be accurate, but Havenstein can’t leave the door open for intruders to rob the place blind.

I’m highlighting Havenstein because I don’t think this is just a problem with inexperienced lineman like C Brian Allen and LG Joseph Noteboom who just need more in-game snaps. Havenstein is a 27 year-old veteran — he should be leading by example with LT Andrew Whitworth. And maybe after the week 4 embarrassment against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he’ll turn it around and get back to his dominant play.

On a macro-level, the offensive line just seems to have a lack of focus. Coach Aaron Kromer was promoted in the offseason to run-game coordinator, which means he’s no longer just the offensive line coach. But since he’s keeping track of the run game, what exactly is he doing? I don’t want to be a dick about it, but is he catching up on Succession on his tablet on the sidelines? Seriously, they ran the ball 11 times. OK, maybe I do want to be a dick about it.
With the short week, the Rams don’t have too much time to sit around and reconstruct their philosophy with the O-line — they just need to block. Sounds easy, right?
Well, if the Rams want to turn around their offensive line, it starts in Seattle on Thursday Night Football, in front of everyone and against our hated rivals, the Seahawks.
This week 5 performance could telegraph to Rams fans just how long this season is going to be.

Boy I'm getting shyte from Niners and Hawks fans....I'm hating life on the internet right now....I might need to drain a bottle of Makers Mark...

10 biggest Week 4 surprises

The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers will wrap things up in Week 4 on Monday Night Football, but between the back-and-forth Thursday Night Football game and all of Sunday's surprising upsets, we already have a lot to discuss. Week 4 in the NFL tends to typically be the week where everything we think we know about teams gets flipped on its head and that's exactly what happened.

Patrick Mahomes was supposed to put up video game numbers in his first career NFL game in a dome, the Los Angeles Rams defense was supposed to dominate Jameis Winston so badly the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would have to consider a quarterback change, and young quarterbacks Daniel Jones, Kyle Allen, and Gardner Minshew were supposed to come back to earth in losing efforts for their respective teams. None of that actually happened.

So let's break down the 10 most surprising performances from Week 4.

1. Mahomes comes up one shy of Peyton Manning

Going into Week 4, this was the narrative surrounding Mahomes and the Chiefs: How many touchdowns would he throw in his first career NFL game inside a dome? It was a fair question to ask after Mahomes tossed up four touchdowns in one quarter earlier in the season and 10 through his first three games. Mahomes was also looking to tie Peyton Manning's streak of 15 straight games with multiple touchdown passes. Instead, the Lions' underrated pass defense held its own -- a common theme for Detroit through the first quarter of the 2019 season. Mahomes did not throw a single touchdown pass.

Chiefs fans can take solace in the fact that Kansas City was able to win a road game against a previously unbeaten team without a single touchdown from Mahomes. The third-year quarterback's consolation prize -- he's now only two games away from tying Kurt Warner and Steve Young for the most consecutive 300-yard passing games to start a regular season.

A wild Week 4 is nearly in the books and there's a lot to go over. Fortunately, Jason La Canfora, Ryan Wilson and John Breech break down the Monday night game and more on the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast. Listen to the full show below and be sure to subscribe right here to get daily NFL goodness fired into your eardrums.

2. Winston could be Bruce Arians' next success story

After the first two weeks of the season, some fans had already ruled out the Winston-Arians revival narrative. When the Buccaneers hired Arians this offseason, the idea was for him to help revive Winston's career as he did with Carson Palmer in Arizona. By the time Week 2 rolled around, Week 1 overreactions took over following Winston throwing multiple pick-sixes in his regular-season debut. Week 4 was a potential breaking point for Winston after a close home loss in Week 3 and against one of the NFL's best pass defenses through the first three weeks: the Los Angeles Rams on the road.Winston responded by becoming the first quarterback to torch the Rams this season with 385 passing yards and four passing touchdowns -- his fifth career game with 375 passing yards and three touchdowns -- tying a milestone held by Aaron Rodgers and Tony Romo. Winston and the Buccaneers scored 55 points, the most ever allowed by the Rams since they drafted perennial All-Pro Aaron Donald in 2014.After completing just 59% of his passes for 402 passing yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions over his first two games, Winston has responded by completing 65.4% with 765 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions over his last two games.

3. Young, unheralded quarterbacks continue to find success

Kyle Allen, Daniel Jones, and Gardner Minshew all made starts in Week 4 -- including two on the road -- and all three quarterbacks came away victorious. At one point or another, all three have been doubted by the NFL media, among others. Jones went No. 6 overall in a decision that was bashed by just about every NFL analyst and fan for what seemed like months until the first preseason game. Allen was passed on by every team in the 2018 NFL Draft before he signed as an undrafted free agent. Minshew fell all the way into the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, where the Jaguars scooped him.

After Week 4, Jones became the second quarterback in Giants history (joining Phil Simms) to go 2-0 in his first two career starts. Allen became the first quarterback in Panthers history to start 3-0. Minshew had his first career game-winning drive and now has a 7:1 touchdown to interception ratio.

4. Gore continues to defy the typical RB life span

In Week 4, the ageless Frank Gore accomplished something no running back has since 1978. Gore became the first 36-year-old running back to eclipse the 100-yard rushing mark (109) in a single game in 41 years. In the process, Gore broke the 1,500-yard career rushing mark. And it's not like Gore is just doing so because he's receiving heavy volume. Gore has averaged 4.5 yards per carry through the first four games of the 2019 season. The best part? Gore has no intention of hanging up his cleats anytime soon.

"Now I just want to keep playing ball," Gore told the Bills' official website after Week 4.

He's arguably one of the best running backs in NFL history due to his longevity alone.

5. Barrett continues historically hot start to 2019

Shaq Barrett signed a one-year prove-it deal with the Buccaneers this offseason and through the first four weeks he has done exactly that. Barrett had another sack in Tampa's win over the Rams. He also impacted the game with a forced fumble and an interception, in addition to 4 tackles. Barrett is now up to 9 sacks on the 2019 season through four games -- he's tied for the most sacks by any NFL player through his first four games since they started tallying the statistic in 1982.

Barrett has already cemented himself in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation, and at this rate, he could very well be the most highly-sought free agent this offseason -- assuming the Buccaneers don't use the franchise tag to keep him from hitting the open market.

6. Godwin takes over a game like an elite WR

Everything came up Buccaneers in their defining Week 4 victory that put them right back in the playoff picture. In addition to Winston and Barrett, it was also a defining day for third-year wide receiver Chris Godwin. The 2017 third-round draft pick set career highs with 12 receptions for 172 receiving yards and two touchdowns after nearly missing the game with a hip injury. Godwin is now up to 386 receiving yards and four touchdowns through his first four games. He has caught nearly everything that has come his way: 26 receptions on 33 targets. The third-year pro is emerging as a second elite wide receiver for Winston to throw to.

7. Browns offense operates best through Chubb

The Browns struggled to find their identity on the offensive side of the ball for the first three weeks of the season, and then Nick Chubb happened. With a must-win game on the slate on the road against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, the Browns flipped the offensive game script and leaned on Chubb. The second-year running back totaled 165 rushing yards with three touchdowns and become the first player in NFL history to rack up 150 rushing yards or more and three touchdowns against the Ravens defense.

The Browns changed their offensive game plan and leaned more often on heavy personnel packages -- specifically in 12 personnel (two tight ends) -- to help make Chubb the focal point on offense. Chubb combines an efficient running style between the tackles with breakaway ability. Chubb's 88-yard rushing touchdown makes him one of five players in Browns history to score two rushing touchdowns of 80-plus yards in his career (he had a 92-yard score in 2018).

Saquon Barkley was the talk of the 2018 running back class, but don't get it mistaken -- Chubb is a special talent and he is going to make a massive impact in the NFL.

8. Gallman picks up the post-Barkley slack

Speaking of Saquon Barkley, Week 4 was the first of several weeks he will be sidelined with a high-ankle sprain. Before the game, Barkley tweeted that Wayne Gallman was about to go off, and in the Giants' 24-3 victory over the Redskins in Week 4, he was very effective on a per-touch basis. Gallman entered the game with three career touchdowns in 31 games, but he found the end zone twice in the first half against the Redskins.

Gallman finished with 63 rushing yards on 18 carries. More importantly, he was a weapon in the passing game. Gallman caught 6-of-7 targets for 55 yards including a nifty screen pass on third and long to keep a Giants possession alive.

9. Flacco finally finds consistent success in the passing game

Most Broncos fans had given up on their passing game and Joe Flacco entering Week 4, but he finally came alive and showed a much-improved rapport with wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Courtland Sutton.

Flacco eclipsed the 300-yard passing mark for the first time this season with 303 yards, three passing touchdowns and one interception. He was able to find consistent success in the intermediate and short passing game while also connecting on longer passing plays. Most importantly, he cashed in during Denver's red zone trips. Ultimately, the defense let the Broncos down in this game. The Broncos will need their passing game to carry the more now than ever after losing Bradley Chubb to a torn ACL in Week 4.

10. Fournette just misses making Jaguars history

It had been a very rocky season for Leonard Fournette through the first three weeks, and with the exception of one long run against the Titans in Week 3, he almost made history for finishing a game with negative rushing yards. In Week 4, that all changed. Fournette totaled 225 rushing yards -- the second-most in team history. He came 10 yards shy of breaking Fred Taylor's all-time single-game rushing record. Fournette also racked up his first 100-plus rushing game since 2017. The Jaguars have won two straight and Fournette played a key role in helping steal a road victory in what is historically one of the toughest places to play on the road in September -- in Denver.

I couldn't find ST only snaps anywhere.

I am a 34 year old man. I’ve dabbled in some things before but I’ve never once gotten involved with the devils lettuce.

Well with my RA pain, a good friend offered me some “Special” brownies to see if it helps with the pain. I said, “what the hell, why not.”

She gave me two to get started.

Something she told me, but I had no ability to process the information given from lack of experience was that each brownie was two joints worth.

So Sunday afternoon around 4 I decide to try a brownie...tasty...she sure can bake. I ate the entire things.

About 5pm....nothing, not a single bit of anything being felt, I make the wise decision to go ahead and eat the other one.

Well....I remember about 5:3-6:00 I was so happy...laughing and enjoying life...now from 6:30-7:30...that took a solid 9 hours to get through...it felt.

I have no recollection from 7:30pm til I woke up at 6:30am.

My wife has videos of me...I refused to open my eyes. I was trying to explain something but just got caught in a loop of nonsense.

It was a terrible time...I don’t know how many joints are too many....but I’m positive that 4 joints worth of was far too much for a first timer taking edibles...fuck my life

Will someone please make sure McVay and Gurley see's this and put this to rest. I get it the offense hasn't looked the same, but neither has the playcalling.

First Look: Rams travel to Seahawks for first divisional matchup of season

A 55-40 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week moved the Rams to 3-1. Now, they shift their focus on a short turnaround to their first NFC West contest of the season: a Thursday night clash with the 3-1 Seahawks.
Los Angeles and Seattle last squared off on November 11, 2018, a 36-31 L.A. win. Similar to this season, the matchup followed the Rams' first loss of the season.

In advance of the game, here’s an early look at the Seahawks, including notable additions, their top statistical performers so far, where they rank in certain statistical categories and key storylines.

Notable additions

• Traded for former Texans DE Jadeveon Clowney in August. Now in his sixth NFL season, Clowney tied an NFL record set in 1984 with eight sacks through the first three games. Those eight sacks also lead the league. The former undrafted free agent spent his first five years with the Denver Broncos before signing a one-year deal with the Buccaneers this offseason.
• Signed kicker Jason Myers as an unrestricted free agent in March. Myers was with the Seahawks in 2018 before getting cut after losing the battle for the starting job to veteran Sebastian Janikowski. The New York Jets claimed him off waivers and he went on to hit 33 of 36 field goal attempts, getting named to his first Pro Bowl as a result. When Myers' contract with the Jets expired this offseason, the Seahawks stepped in and signed him to a four-year deal. He's made 2 of 3 field goal attempts and converted all 13 extra point attempts through the first four weeks of the season.

Top performers in Week 4

QB Russell Wilson completed 22 of 28 pass attempts for 240 yards with one touchdowns in the Seahawks' 27-10 win over the Cardinals in Arizona. He also added two rushing attempts for seven yards.

After being inactive Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, RB Chris Carson looked to be 100 percent in Week 4 with a game-high 22 carries for 104 yards.

TE Will Dissly was on the receiving end of Wilson's lone score, adding a team-high seven catches for 57 yards in the victory.

Defensively, LB Bobby Wagner led the way with 11 total tackles, while Clowney contributed an interception which was returned 27 yards for a touchdown.

On special teams, Myers converted both of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra point tries.

Rankings

Offense

• Points Per Game: 9th (25.8)
• Yards Per Game: 13th (377.8)
• Passing Yards Per Game: 12th (266.2)
• Rushing Yards Per Game: 16th (111.5)

Defense

• Points Allowed Per Game: 13th (22.2)
• Yards Allowed Per Game: 8th (319.0)
• Passing Yards Allowed Per Game: 17th (239.5)
• Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game: 6th (79.5)

Early storylines to watch, and what they mean for the Rams

Another week, another talented pass rusher Los Angeles' offensive line must prepare for.

Seattle traded statistically their best pass rusher from 2018 in Frank Clark, who posted a career-best 13 sacks last season then got dealt to the Kansas City in April. The move created a need which the Seahawks filled by acquiring Clowney from the Texans four months later.

He will pose a strong test for the right side of the Rams' offensive line, especially, which means RG Austin Blythe and RT Rob Havenstein will have to step up Thursday night.

This will also be the second straight week the Rams will face a top-10 run defense, which means the flow could potentially dictate more work for RB Todd Gurley II in the passing game.

Holy shit Torry! Fix that shot! Lol

I say the Nats beat M'waukee, and the A's beat the Tampa/Montreal Rays.

Divisional

AL
Stros over A's

Yankees over Minny

Stros beat NY

NL
Dodgers over Nats
Braves over Cards. WAIT WAIT WAIT CARD FANS. I CAN EXPLAIN. The Braves are my 2nd ream. All my dad's side of the family are in AL, GA, and SC. All Bravos fans. My grandpa drove me from Columbus to Fulton County Stadium to see Henry Aaron play. I always brag about that. I saw Hank Aaron play. Gotta support Grampa's team--all due respect, Card fans, cuz even if you do beat Hotlanta, y'all gonna have to play the Dodger Blue.

And we all know you're not gonna like how that's gonna end.

Dickhead Smith (feel free to tweet him on his account) runs full speed and uses his helmet like a bullet to the head.

Notice MP goes from straight ahead to completely upside down and laid upon by that fat fuck in a split second. Imagine the force.

I really am surprised he got up at all.

NFL Network tomorrow if anyone is interested. 12:00 Noon Pacific Time for you west coast fans.
