In a bout between two carbon-copy championship contenders

In  a bout between two carbon-copy championship contenders,  Cheap NFL Jerseys , the Philadelphia Eagles (5-1) narrowly prevailed, besting the Carolina Panthers (4-2), 28-23, at Bank of America Stadium in Week 6. Here's what we learned from the close victory: 1. Carolina had its chances. After pulling within five and forcing an Eagles punt with over five minutes to go, the Panthers embarked on a potential game-winning drive. But with Cam Newton noticeably bothered by something following his acrobatic touchdown attempt on the previous drive, the quarterback missed on multiple deep pass attempts, nearly getting picked off by Rasul Douglas on a deep overthrow and then tossing an interception to Jalen Mills on a deep overthrow of Kelvin Benjamin --  Jerseys NFL Wholesale , Newton said the two "weren't on the same page."

The Panthers' masking of a fatal flaw came undone Thursday night. Jerseys NFL Wholesale ,  While Cam Newton is the face of the franchise and a former league MVP, Carolina's identity has long been built off a uniquely constructed power run game. The team consistently ranked in the top 12 in run-play percentage during the successful years of the Ron Rivera/Newton era. Through the first half of the 2017 season, the Panthers running game hasn't just been a shadow of itself, it's been a liability. After Thursday night, there's no more hiding it. The Pa

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a kicker problem.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cheap NFL Jerseys ,  the happy-go-lucky bunch from Hard Knocks, have a kicker problem. Last year, the Bucs made the unusual decision to draft Robbie Aguayo, a move that would have only played out worse if Aguayo stole the team's Lombardi Trophy and escaped to Finland. Then there was Nick Folk, who earned a reputation over a decade of professional experience as a sturdy veteran option. But Folk went belly up as well, culminating in a nightmare  Jerseys NFL Wholesale , Thursday night performance that cost Tampa a victory against the mighty Patriots. It was moments after Folk's third and final miss against the Pats that it started to seem feasible that the Bucs were dealing with some kind of pirate's curse at the game's most delicate position.

Eli Manning isn't going to have to explain the New York Giants' offense to his new receivers

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. ( Cheap NFL Jerseys , ) — Eli Manning isn't going to have to explain the New York Giants' offense to his new receivers. Tavarres King, Travis Rudolph and Ed Eagan know it.

Starting quarterback Sam Bradford had another setback with his knee problem , significant enough for him to be pulled from the game in Chicago after an obvious struggle with evading the pass rush and stepping into his throws. Stefon Diggs, the NFL's leading wide receiver entering the week, was limited by an injury to his groin on Monday, too. The Vikings still managed to survive their latest trip to Soldier Field with a 20-17 victory made possible by a strong second-half performance from backup quarterback Case Keenum, keeping their season on course with a crucial game against division-leading Green Bay approaching on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers knew all along what they had in Davante Adams

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers knew  Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys , all along what they had in Davante Adams. It was just a question of whether he'd be healthy enough to show it. They didn't exactly know what they had in Aaron Jones. Now they might have found the kind of 1-2 punch in the running game that coach Mike McCarthy has always preferred.
