WR Josh Huff returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, QB Carson Wentz outplayed QB Sam Bradford and the Philadelphia Eagles beat Minnesota 21-10 on Sunday, handing the Vikings their first loss of the season. Don't let your children grow up to be kickers. Just don't.
The overtime period of Sunday night's matchup between the Cardinals and Seahawks will live on in infamy for fans of both teams. The game will also endure as a career-low moment for two men who play the same position.
First up was Chandler Catanzaro. The Cardinals kicker lined up for a 19-yard chip shot with less than four minutes to play in OT. The attempt was the equivalent of the old-school extra point. So confident were the Cardinals in the distance that they didn't even sweat the five-yard delay of game penalty. Even with the foul, the attempt remained firmly in Super Gimme territory.
And then Catanzaro yoinked it. What Catanzaro couldn't have known at this, his lowest moment, was that he would not suffer alone on this night. The Seahawks took over and marched down the field, highlighted by Doug Baldwin's catch-and-run that nearly went to the house. Now it was Seattle in chip-shot range and Stephen Hauschka being called upon to make the presumed official.
A 28-yard attempt, this one far shorter than the current PAT. Hauschka has had his problems at University of Phoenix Stadium, but he couldn't ... could he?
Oh, he could. Yoink. New England Patriots 27, Pittsburgh Steelers 16
1. Business as usual from Tom Brady. The stats won't show it (222 yards, two TDs), but the Patriots quarterback dominated and outsmarted the Steelers' defense, especially in the second half. Encountering little to no pressure from the front four, Brady opted often for sure routes from receivers in the flat until Rob Gronkowski found room to run late in the second half. Through three games, Brady has yet to throw an interception since returning from suspension and has shown no hint of a decline.
2. Brady didn't lead New England all by his lonesome; LeGarrette Blount happily carried the load. The former Steelers running back returned to the team that once cut him and outperformed his rival back, Le'Veon Bell. Blount continued a career year with his third 100-plus rushing yard game of 2016 and scored two touchdowns at the goal line. Blount now has more touchdowns through seven weeks (8) than he's had in any season in his career. Read more @NFL.com

About Gmia'sWorld Madden has been around since the 1980's & we are now up to Madden 17. Madden 18, Madden 19, & Madden 20 should bring further graphic enhancements. As Far as the NBA 2K series, NBA 2K17 appears to be very similar to NBA 2K16 so I'm not really looking forward to NBA 2K18, NBA 2K19 or NBA 2K20. Over The years I've watched Jay Z & Beyonce become best friends, while releasing Lemonade to The Weeknd snatching R&B from R Kelly to Trump possibly winning the 2016 election. So many things going on the world… Russia, ISIS, government corruption, race war, black vs white like its anime. It would be cool if we could all get along but we all can't be bff's. What I try to do is make a funny out of not so funny issues and put a smile on your face despite the horror of the world. Not just gaming… Gmia'sWorld gives you reality in an unconventional format.
