They are still putting up a lot of penalty minutes. They gave the Kings six power plays over 17 minutes which, once again, is almost a full period of short handed play.
They are still in California and tonight they play the Ducks. That game starts at 8:30 so I'm hoping that I'll be able to watch two periods.
Still, they are undefeated with four wins over four games. That is a pretty good way to start the season.
As for the Patriots, I was shocked to see Jones moving the ball well, the offensive line providing good pass protection and the defense playing like they mattered.
The Patriots scored first with a field goal and then intercepted the ball on the next play. That interception led to an eventual touchdown, giving the Patriots a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
They went into halftime with the Patriots up 13-3 and then came out for the second half playing hard.
Unfortunately, the Bills played just as hard and, with 18 seconds left in the clock, the Bills were up 25-22. Fortunately, the Patriots had the ball on the 1 yard line and they had four downs to play within that 18 seconds.
The first play was a pass that went long and out of bounds. The second play was also a pass and it was right on the money. This meant the Patriots went up 28-25.
They kicked the extra point and, with 12 seconds left on the clock, the Patriots were up 29-25.
They punted the ball into the end zone and the Bills took over at their 25. They tried one hail-mary pass which was incomplete and burned up 7 seconds, leaving 5 seconds on the clock.
The final play of the game was a junk attempt at another hail-mary but it never happened when the Bills quarterback, Allen, basically tripped and dropped the ball.
The game ended with the Patriots getting their second win of the season.
In other football news, I'm pleased to announce that I'm going to watch the rest of the Steelers / Rams game and maybe flip over to the Chiefs / Chargers game every so often.
Here are a few links:
- It's "narrowed down" to two because they are the only two who didn't drop out of the running. No one else wants the job because after what happened to Cherington, Dombroswski and then Bloom, they realize it's a sacrificial position.
- I'm thinking this might just be a whale version of "dress-up"...
- Yet more crystal-clear photographic evidence...
- Key line in this story: "You go to the public works facility to drop off trash, not to set lap times."
- Georgia: Or as I like to call it, North Florida.
- I was not aware that this was up for debate.
