ve .500 team since Week 3. The Dolphins won last week, but only barely against a brutal New York Jets team. Miami quarterbac
Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top storylines in the NFL and gives you all you need to know heading into Sundays action. All in! Breaking the 7-5 logjam Six teams in the AFC are tied for the final wild card spot with a 7-5 record, three in the AFC North alone. The quickest way to break that logjam down the regular season stretch is head-to-head matchups amongst the six teams. That’s what we get when the Baltimore Ravens travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. Neither team has inspired much confidence of late. The Ravens are coming off a loss and haven’t beaten an above .500 team since Week 3. The Dolphins won last week, but only barely against a brutal New York Jets team. Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill has impressed this season, and it’s looking like he could be the real deal. It will be interesting to see how he plays down the stretch in a high-pressure situation. The big games for him start Sunday against the Ravens. Hanging On The Bills are hanging in there. After a disheartening loss to the Dolphins two weeks ago, Buffalo ripped off back-to-back wins against the Jets and Browns and are now tied for the final wild card spot with five other teams. They were perhaps prematurely written off after losing to Miami but if they can’t get by the Broncos – and Vegas sure doesn’t think they will – it may actually be time to start thinking about next year. Another team just holding on, but in a much different situation, is the Arizona Cardinals. A couple weeks ago the Cardinals were the NFL’s sweetheart with a league-best 9-1 record. Two Drew Stanton starts later and Arizona looking over their shoulder at the Seahawks (one game behind) and the 49ers (two games behind). Like the Bills, the Cardinals face a strong AFC West team in the Kansas City Chiefs. NFC Heavyweight Battle At least the Cardinals can take solace in the fact Seattle has a tough matchup as well. The Seahawks take on the NFC East leading Philadelpia Eagles and their 6-0 home record. Seattle’s road record is only mediocre but if there’s a defence to make Eagles’ QB Mark Sanchez look like Jets’ QB Mark Sanchez, it’s the Seahawks’. Seattle has the top overall defence and is third best against the pass. They also have one of the league’s best turnover ratios. If Sanchez can find a way to win Sunday, he may have a job for the rest of the year and into the playoffs. Something to Prove? The Chargers should be feeling pretty good about themselves after last week. They squeaked out a win against the Ravens, their third in a row, to take sole possession of the first wild card spot. Their reward for the big week is a home game, nice, but against a New England Patriots team that has lots to prove. The Pats are coming off a hard fought loss to the Green Bay Packers in what many dubbed a Super Bowl preview. They also have no wiggle room left for the first overall seed in the AFC now with matching records with the Broncos. Battle atop the AFC North It sounds weird to say, but the AFC North is tied for the best division in football. All four teams are above .500 and have combined for 29 wins on the season. That’s part of what makes this underrated rivalry game even better. Thanks to a three-game win streak the Bengals are a half-point out of a first round bye while the Steelers, also one of the 7-5 six, are at risk of not making the playoffs at all. Cincy has one of the better defences in the league and will need a big game to stop Big Ben, Le’Veon Bell, and the surprisingly high-powered Steelers offence. Nate Thompson Jersey . Every. Single. Game. Thats 1,230 in total to cover the regular season. The man is Corey Sznajder, a soft-spoken 23-year-old Salisbury University grad who lives in Annapolis, Maryland and has been charting zone entries and zone exits throughout the NHL. I love big projects, he said. No kidding. At the 2013 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, I met Eric Tulsky, who presented research on the value of controlled zone entries (short answer: about twice as valuable to enter with control of the puck rather than dumping it in) and Sznajder had charted a couple hundred games that were included in that study. Los Angeles Kings Jerseys . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency. http://www.authenticlakingspro.com/Dave-taylor-kings-jersey/. Signs of a turnaround have emerged in this series at Minnesota. Brian Roberts had three doubles and a triple for the first four-extra-base-hit game of his 14-year career, and the Yankees used their bullpen to preserve a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday. Dion Phaneuf Jersey . -- Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera has a broken bone below his right eye after being struck by a bad-hop grounder, sidelining the star slugger for at least a week with opening day on deck. Kelly Hrudey Jersey . Pierre last November, only to watch St. Pierre leave the UFC octagon with his welterweight title belt and a split-decision victory.Conway, SC (SportsNetwork.com) - The project to install teal-colored turf inside Coastal Carolinas Brooks Stadium began at the Big South Conference university this week. Heavy equipment dotted the field that is home for Chanticleers football and womens lacrosse. The layer of grass is removed and the new synthetic turf is expect to be installed by mid-April. The turf project has a budget of $1.2 million. When the decision to install an artificial turf field was made, it only made sense that the turf be teal, Coastal Carolina interim directorr of athletics Matt Hogue said.dddddddddddd In addition to our winning tradition, we are known nationally for our distinctive color scheme. And its not just the color our teams wear, but a campus-wide identity. We felt this would be a great opportunity to further build that brand. Coastal Carolinas football program has taken on national prominence in recent seasons. The Chanticleers have reached the FCS national quarterfinals in each of the past two years, and they finished fifth in the final Top 25 poll earlier this month.
