Buccaneers vs. Vikings, Week 8: Vikings bloggers celebrate 5-3 start to season, downplay 36-17 loss
Adrian Peterson is taking over for the Vikings offense in Week 8 against the Buccaneers. He now has 14 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown on the night, with a huge 64-yard score capping off his performance so far.
Peterson is averaging 8.9 yards per carry. It's safe to say the Vikings will continue to rely on his dominant ability.
Mike Williams had a touchdown pass at the end of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' game last week against the Saints. And then he didn't, thanks to an illegal touching call. Williams caught a touchdown pass on Thursday night against the Vikings, and this time, there was no illegal touching, no going out of bounds ... just a good catch.
Watch two very large grown men exchange unpleasantness.
The pair got offsetting penalties -- Allen a facemask call and unnecessary roughness on Penn. It saved either team a loss of yardage, and Tampa Bay got another chance on 3rd-and-10. That's where it gets really fantastical.

Lions vs. Bears: Chicago stumps Matthew Stafford, Lions on Monday Night
While the Bears got the win and moved into first place in the NFC North, there may be some concern over the health of Cutler. He took a big hit from Ndamukong Suh in the first half and missed some time as he was evaluated for a rib injury. He returned to play the second half, but appeared to be in pain at times and was not as sharp.
Detroit narrowly avoided the shutout, scoring a touchdown with 30 seconds to play.
Calvin Johnson was unable to get much going, catching three passes for 34 yards.
A snap poll of our readers reveals that 75 percent describe the Lions offense as futile. Another 15 percent are stunned at what they see. For the 10 percent still undecided, perhaps this will change their minds.
That turned into a fumble at the goal line.
Giants down Cardinals 9-0, win N.L. pennant
The Giants strung their hits together, the Cardinals' defense didn't help out, and San Francisco won big in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series.
Sergio Romo celebrating after getting the final out is proof that all future slo-mo shots should include some sort of precipitation.
The pure, child-like joy and enthusiasm here is just amazing.
Fittingly, Scutaro, the NLCS MVP, caught the final out!
"We did it! We did it! Let's bounce around in a big group!"
Pence, like Scutaro and Sandoval before him, picked on the first pitch he saw. And then came not one, but two defensive miscues of the sort that have so bedeviled the Cardinals lately. Somehow, shortstop Pete Kozma misplayed a likely double play into a single ...
... breaking to his right when the ball was actually hit to his left; granted, Kozma had a pretty damned good excuse: the ball actually hit Pence's shattered bat three times. Has anyone EVER seen this sight before?
And when the ball reached the outfield, Jon Jay made it worse; in his haste to pick up the ball, it got past him and Posey scored all the way from first base.
It was a walk to put two on with no outs. Daniel Descalso followed the walk with a grounder to first, forcing the runner out at second, and Pete Kozma struck out after that. Which brought up Kyle Lohse with two outs. Easy out, right?
Guh. Brandon Crawford's well-timed leap saved two runs, and the Giants held onto the lead.
In the bottom of the second, Gregor Blanco hit a one-out single, and he moved to second when Allen Craig made a nice diving play on a Crawford liner. That brought up Matt Cain. Easy out, right?
Well, dang. That put the Giants up 2-0 in what is literally -- literally -- a must -win game for both teams.
But when Holliday led off the sixth, the Giants ahead 7-0, was this 0-and-2 fastball an accident?
Maybe it was. Maybe the pitch just got away from Cain.

Patriots beat Jets to take first place in the AFC East
Sanchez took a hit to his ankle during his backpedal from linebacker Jermaine Cunningham which caused him to stumble, and a second hit from fellow linebacker Rob Ninkovich dislodged the ball, which he recovered for the victory.
New York Jets running back Shonn Greene was hit hard by Partiots middle linebacker Brandon Spikes and immediately went to the ground with what appeared to be a head injury. He was helped to the sideline and is now in the locker room for further evaluation.
Rob Gronkowski is the main reason the Patriots are beating the Jets so far. Through the end of the third quarter, Gronk has four catches for 51 yards and two TDs. His first score came in the first quarter, when he abused an overmatched LaRon Landry for a 17-yarder.
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III made an impressive comeback against the New York Giants, but Eli Manning and Victor Cruz made sure it was all for naught as the two connected for an 80-yard, game-winning score.
Cruz got behind the defense, despite the fact that plenty of Redskins defensive backs were in the area. Once he caught the pass, no Redskin was able to chase him down as he went all the way to the end zone.
What is left to be said about the rookie that can do it all? "Dual threat" won't sum up the fact that RG3 can throw it, run it, and throw it while running it to convert this late fourth-and-ten against the Giants to keep a drive alive with Washington down 20-16 with minutes left in the game.
That strike to Logan Paulsen kept the Redskins moving when anything that didn't net ten yards would have effectively ended the game. Griffin would later hit Santana Moss for the go-ahead touchdown to give Washington a 23-20 lead over the Giants in New Jersey. It was another huge moment for the rookie that teams have been unable to completely stop this season.
Ahmad is grumpy. Like, he's pretty mad, guys.
I am no lip reader, so I'm going to guess about some of the things Santana Moss said to the nice cameraman or woman:
Hello, would you like to go to Applebee's they have a 2 for $20 that seems highly economical

Israeli navy stops ship bound for Gaza
By the CNN Wire Staff
(CNN) -- The Israeli navy boarded a ship and halted an attempt to break the sea blockade of Gaza on Saturday.
Soldiers stormed the ship and took the passengers into custody.
"The boarding was carried out only after numerous calls to the passengers onboard," an Israeli military statement. "As a result of their unwillingness to cooperate and after ignoring calls to change course, the decision was made to board the vessel and lead it to the Port of Ashdod."
The boat, named Estelle, was about 30 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza when it was stopped, said Reut Mor, an Israeli activist.
So when Barry Zito surprisingly came out for the eighth inning, Giants fans were probably expecting a leadoff runner. Instead, this was the first batter:
But the second batter reached -- Jon Jay hit a ball off the glove of first baseman Brandon Belt. And then it seemed logical that Bochy would walk out and get Zito.

Matt Holliday came up next and smacked Lincecum's second offering into center field, but not as deep. Carpenter had to see if Pagan was going to catch it; when Pagan came up short but made a fine stop, Carpenter tried to score. He shouldn't have, but he did ...
when catcher Hector Sánchez couldn't squeeze the ball, which arrived in plenty of time to nail Carpenter.

Yin and Yang, in NFL head coach form.
This is a growing team and though it may not really feel like it, they're still one of the youngest teams in the NFL. Their recipe - their formula - a conservative approach on offense and a sippy cup lid on their rookie quarterback, dictates that the margin for error in their games is going to be very slim. This team, where it sits in its development, simply cannot overcome big mistakes and huge drops and poor execution in key moments and expect to beat elite teams on the road. Even with those big drops, and the Russell Wilson pick, Seattle had a chance to pull it off, once again. They got close.
The safety happened on a play where Seattle lineman Paul McQuistan was flagged for an illegal block on 4th-and-17 . Harbaugh declined the penalty, so that he could get the ball back and run out the clock with a 13-6 lead over Pete Carroll.

Matt Holliday apologizes for his hard slide... sort of

If you missed it, here's why I thought Scutaro's career was over:
Although officials have not made such an assertion publicly, they have characterized the attacks that occurred in recent months as initiated by a "state actor." The U.S. intelligence apparatus observed and tracked the attacks as coming out of Iran, a third official said Monday. The official would not describe further what was observed but said the belief is the perpetrators were surrogates working with the Iranian government.
“We strongly believe there is a relationship between the people typing the code and people running the government,” according to the official.
