November 11th is Veterans day so the staff at The Red Light Sports Network would like to thank every veteran who sacrificed themselves to serve our country. Freedom isn't Free and we appreciate all that you have done so that we can enjoy all of the freedoms we take for granted everyday.  

Tonight Evan and Troy will discuss some of the hottest sports topics that are trending on twitter. What would you like to chat about, call the show and lets have a great show

We recap some of the important games from Week nine, in the NFL. The Denver Broncos visited Indianapolis and Andrew Luck got the better of Petyon Manning. The Broncos sitll have a three game lead over the Oakland Raiders, in the AFC West. The suprising Raiders traveled to Heinz Field and tied the game late. Backup quarterback Landry Jones led the Steelers down the field to kick the game winning field goal after Ben Roethlisberger was injured. This is the second injury this season for Roethlisberger. After spraining his knee, he now has sprained his foot and his return is undetermined at this time. The Minnesota Vikings needed overtime to defeat the pesky St. Louis Rams. The Vikings move to 6-2 and claim a share of the NFC North lead. Listen in and give us a call with your favorite game of the weekend.

The Green Bay Packers faced an undefeated team for the second week in a row and had the same result; a loss. The Packers have now dropped two games back to back after starting the season 6-0. After falling behind 27-7 at halftime, the Packers mounted a second half comeback that fell four yards short. Aaron Rodgers was intercepted by Thomas Davis, on a fourth and goal play with 1:54 remaining. 

Rodgers was under duress the entrie day, and it proved costly on the last play. The Panthers sacked Rodgers five times, but applied constant pressure throughout the game. Not only did the Panthers apply pressure they shut down an ineffective Packers running game. The Packers finished the game with 71 rushing yards on 19 carries, for an average of 3.7 yards. Eddie Lacy carried five times for 10 yards, including a fumble. 

Cam Newton has now led the Panthers to 12 consecutive regular season wins. He finished the day 15 for 30 and 297 yards along with throwing a season high three touchdown passes. Newton added 57 yards on the ground and his rushing touchdown gave the Panthers a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter. The Panthers now have a two game lead for home field advantage over every team in the NFC.

As the NFL enters week nine, there are four undefeated teams still alive for the perfect season. The Cincinnati Bengals already dismantled the Cleveland Browns, on Thursday. The New England Patriots will host the Washington Redskins. Peyton Manning heads home to lead the Denver Broncos against the Indianapolis Colts. The Carolina Panthers host the Green Bay Packers after they fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last week. 

The Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers battle for the edge in the playoff race. Oakland (4-3) has suprised a number of people and are in position to make the playoffs. The Steelers have battled the injury bug and will be without one of the leagues best backs in Le'Veon Bell. Ben Roethlisberger missed four games with a knee injury, but the steelers remain in the playoff hunt. The winner of this game will gain the advantage for the wildcard.

The Carolina Panthers are one of four undefeated teams entering week nine in the NFL season. The Green Bay Packers were dominated on national television by the Denver Broncos, last Sunday. The loss was the first for the Packers as they travel to Carolina. They only passed for 77 yards and rushed for 90; however 31 of those yards came from the legs of Aaron Rodgers. The Bronco offense carved up the Packers defense for 500 yards. 

After being punched in the face, the Packers face a tough test in Carolina. The Panthers rank ninth in yards allowed (342.6) and seventh in points allowed (19.4). Evan will tell you that the sack statistic is over-rated, and that could be the case for the Panthers. Although tied for eigth, in the league with 20 sacks it seems like there is always a Panther pressuring a quarterback. Rodgers was harrassed from the start, in Denver, and the offensive line needs to play better. Mike McCarthy and Tom Clements will have to find a game plan that will get the receivers into space.

The Packers defense looked confused at times and need to concentrate on some fundamental defense. They have struggled against the zone read, and Cam Newton is a mamouth of man when he runs. In one week, the defense will need to figure out how to play discipline defense and realize their gap responsibility. The Packers defense is aggressive and have allowed other teams to look good when they miss tackles. The Panthers lost Kelvin Benjamin in the preseason and their leading receiver is tight end Greg Olsen (33 receptions, 518 yards, 4 touchdowns). Ted Ginn, Jr. is the Panthers leading receiver with 20 receptions. In comparision, the Packers have three receivers with more receptions. The Panthers will try to establish the running game with James Stewart, who has rushed for 505 yards and three touchdowns.

Kevin Cunningham; the managing editor of internet content of The Red Light Sports Network, joins the show to give his insight to the Ken Whisenhunt firing. Kevin has followed the Titans and will give his thoughts on what the next coach needs to bring to the table. Marcus Mariotta has stepped in and has played well at times. In five games his quarterback rating is 93.4, and seems that he has made progress. The one thing that Tennessee needs is more weapons around Mariota.

As teams make changes to turn their forutnes around, it usually starts at quarterback. Colin Kaepernick has been benched in San Francisco, and Blaine Gabbert will make his first start for the 49ers after spending three years in Jacksonville. His career passer rating is 66.8.  The Cleveland Browns may be starting the Johnny Manziel era. Mike Pettine has named Manziel the starter for Thursday nights game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Week 8 saw the Green Bay Packers fall from the unbeaten ranks which leaves four teams with a perfect record. The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots dominated in their wins. The Cincinnati Bengals struggled at times, but did enough to leave Pittsburgh with a win. The overtime rule that now allows both teams to posses the ball unless a touchdown is scored on the first drive finally had an impact. The Indianapolis Colts kicked the go ahead field goal, but the Panthers would get a chance to tie or win the game with a touchdown. Graham Gano belted a 42 yard field goal to tie the game again. The Colts were forced to punt and Cam Newton drove the Panthers down the field so that Gano could play hero by nailing a 52 yard field goal.

The hype turned out to be better than the game. This was only the fourth time, in NFL history, that teams with 6-0 or better records faced off. Both the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos entered the game 6-0. The Broncos dominated the Packers enroute to a 29-10 victory. The Packers had cut the lead to 7 after a Mason Crosby field goal, but that was as close as they were going to get. Denver dominated the trenches on both sides of the ball. This resulted in outgaining the Packers 500-140 in total yards. C.J. Anderson rushed for 101 yards, and Peyton Manning passed for 340 yards. Demarius Thomas was the primary target hauling in eight passes for 168 yards. The dominating Bronco defense even provided some points recording a safety.

In this eposode of The Red Light Sports Ramble, Evan and Troy ask the question, are the Patriots the best team in the NFL. They also talk about some upcoming games on Sunday and Monday night in the NFL and can the New York Mets rebound and come back in the World Series.

When you hear the teams Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos you immediately think of their future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Peyton Manning has been to the Super Bowl with two different teams. Aaron Rodgers is mentioned as one of the best in the game, at the present time. It is not a surprise that both of these teams are 6-0 but it is how they are doing that is.

The Denver Broncos have assembled a defense that is ranked number one overall in yards allowed. This includes a number one ranking against the pass and number four against the run. The Packers are ranked 14th overall (12th pass, 22nd run). The Packers have negated some of the best backs in the league so far, which has made teams become one dimensional. Points will be at a premium as the Packers are ranked first in the league allowing only 16.8 points per game, and the Broncos a close second allowing only 17. 

 The Broncos have struggled offensively, currently ranked 29th. Some fans have questioned if Peyton Manning should step aside because of his mediocre play this season. Aaron Rodgers has the Packers offense ranked 11th, but have been average in October. The are still scoring 27 points a game. Both teams have a plus six turnover differential.

This should be a great battle in the Mile High City, but one team will end week eight with a 6-1 record, while the other will stay in pursuit of the perfect season. Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.
