A nervous and upset Cousins looked on as the Chiefs marched on inexorably to the game winning field goal. Problems with the Redskins receiving corps has been a sore point with Kurt Cousins since the team reported to Redskins Park for the start of the 2017 season. Cousins had a deep connection with receivers deshawn Johanson and piere garsone over course of his young career. When healthy, the trio has combined for some spectacular performances. Washington chose not to retain their services this year and Cousins was forced to rely on two new and unproven receivers. Terrelle Pryor was acquired in the offseason. Pryor, a former quarterback had one decent year for the Cleveland Browns in 2016, with 77 receptions and 1,007 yards. He has yet to make the full transition to wide out and has a horrible penchant for dropping passes. He shows some reluctance to go over the middle and tends to "short arm" balls. Players have a nickname for receivers who exhibit this trait, "alligator arms." Not exactly a compliment. Pryor has demonstrated this irritating habit numerous times this season. He dropped a sure touchdown pass against the Eagles in week one, perhaps coasting the Redskins a victory. The other receiver who has yet to live up to his potential is Josh Doctson - last year's number one draft choice. He has struggled with injuries and has yet to separate himself from the other receivers. Doctson's dropped touchdown pass against the Chiefs
Now, although it’s rare for a rookie to take over the reigns of their new team during that first season, it does happen. Granted, most of the time it’s because the prospects for success evaporated. Since the team is going no where come playoff time, why continue to operate with a quarterback who is not the team’s future. This is the time many rookies get their chance, but for fantasy purposes, most still fall flat on their face.

Late game mishaps such as an Adrian Peterson fumble and a missed game winning field goal by Blair Walsh, led to a Minnesota Vikings loss Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At 12:05 pm central time the NFC Wild Card round game started and set a record that tied for the third coldest game of all time in NFL history. It was so cold that the stadium was handing out hand warmers and coffees before the game had even started. The Viking celebratory horn, that they blew into every time the Vikings had a good play, had cracked from the frigid conditions. The Minnesota Vikings entered the game with the three seed in the NFC, and they were also winners of the NFC North Division with the record of 11-5. The Seattle Seahawks entered
Even with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, an NFL team can only withstand so many injuries. They’ve been without Jordy Nelson all season, Randall Cobb has been playing with a hurt shoulder all year long, Eddie Lacy hasn’t been in shape, Davante Adams hasn’t been 100 percent since week one, and their starting cornerbacks started the year at number three and four on the depth chart.

There are a few things the youngster is going to have to work on if he wants to be in the NFL, even if it’s just as a reliable backup. Boykin already faces some uncontrollable issues due to his height and his reputation for fumbling doesn’t help. He has a habit of knowing exactly what he is going to do with the ball before he even walks out of the huddle and forcing the pass even when it’s not open.
In the first quarter, Garoppolo did not look that great, missing receivers and not completing a lot of his passes. During his last drive of the first quarter, he looked well throwing the ball to Marcellus Bennett but it did not make a difference since the team did not score on that drive.
Titans rookie quarterback, Marcus Mariota, received his first preseason career start tonight. Mariota was very shaky throughout the game, consequently, turning the ball over more than once. He finished the game completing 7-of-8 passes, but also had two turnovers.

One of the team’s biggest strengths is their powerhouse offense. But the man under center is what makes that powerhouse offense run. That man is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the league if not the best. His statistics are unbelievable. He has the highest quarterback rating in NFL history at 103.8, while the second closest is 98.9. He has thrown 300 touchdowns to only 74 interceptions. That being a 4:1 touchdown to interception ratio, also the best in NFL history. One of his most impressive streaks was his success at home. In 2015, he threw an interception at home. The last one he threw at home before that was in 2012. He went three years without throwing an interception at home. Truly a remarkable feat. In 2011, Aaron had one of the best seasons
