By Ben Krakow While there are many quality broadcasting play-by-play commentators, color analysts and sideline reporters, some stand out more than others. Over the next few weeks, KCOU Sport’s Ben Krakow will be highlighting some of his favorites across several sports, continuing this week with the best of the NFL. Play by Play (no order): […]
By Korbett Koselak Minnesota Vikings (2-2-1) Last Week: 14 Minnesota creeps back into the rankings after knocking off a struggling Eagles team in Philadelphia on Sunday. That win, while only in week five, seemed enormous for the men in purple, avoiding having to dig out of a potential 1-3-1 hole. Things lighten up this weekend […]
By Hal Estep On a rainy Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense finally found its groove. Jacksonville QB Blake Bortles was consistently being pressured by the Chiefs’ pass rush, forcing him into making errant throws and many mistakes. Bortles was sacked 5 times, which is Kansas City’s season-high for sacks in a game so […]
By: Logan Franz In the NFL, the hope for teams that draft a rookie quarterback is growth in his rookie year. Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield is doing just that- albeit at a slow rate. He is definitely the best quarterback the Browns have had in a long time. Mayfield’s first start -a loss to Oakland Sep. […]
By Logan Franz Of all the rookie quarterbacks to have played this season, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has decidedly been the least impressive. It’s not to any fault of his own; his team just doesn’t have much star power- even when compared to a team like Cleveland. Buffalo’s receiving core of wide receivers Kelvin […]
By Korbett Koselak Philadelphia Eagles (2-2) Last Week: 9 The Eagles have played four games this year, they have all been decided by one possession. They have beaten Indianapolis by four, Atlanta by six, lost to Tampa Bat by six, and fell to Tennessee by three most recently. Quarterback Carson Wentz should find his groove […]
By Hal Estep In his first test against under the bright primetime lights, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shone brightly against the Denver Broncos and its staunch defense in a 23-20 win. With 12:47 left in the fourth quarter, trailing by 10, Mahomes led Kansas City on a long drive against the smothering Broncos […]
-DC Benincasa After the Cleveland Browns win against the New York Jets on Sept. 20, I fantasized over the slim possibility that the Browns were close to becoming a playoff team. Rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield led a dramatic comeback, FirstEnergy stadium was loud and my optimism was at an all time high after that victory. […]
–Brandon Antony Last Sunday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo tore his ACL against the Kansas City Chiefs on a scramble towards the sideline in the final minutes of the 49ers 38-27 loss, cutting his 2018 season short. Jimmy, brought in last year mid-season by general manager John Lynch after a trade with the New […]
By Korbett Koselak Atlanta Falcons (1-2) Last Week: 6 One of two, 2-loss teams on this week’s power rankings, Atlanta made the mistake, yet again, of giving an all-time great quarterback the ball to begin overtime. Just like Super Bowl 51, said all-time great quarterback took the ball down the field and put […]
