Sunday’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys had enough storylines to make any football fan salivate. Which of Stafford or Romo would finally elevate their play enough to send their team to the next round of the postseason? Who makes more big plays Quinnen Williams Jersey , Calvin Johnson or Dez Bryant? Will the Lions be able to stop DeMarco Murray? Will former Lions’ offensive coordinator Scott Linehan come back to haunt his old team?To add to the intrigue, the NFL dropped a bombshell on Monday when they announced the suspension of Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Suh then fired one right back, winning his appeal and the 27-year-old is now reinstated for Sunday’s game despite stepping on the injured leg of Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It’s hard to prove intent, but it’s clear the league took Suh’s reputation into account. Suh has been fined eight times, and has now been suspended twice in his NFL career. The league sent a statement to Suh, on behalf of the NFL's Vice President of Football Operations, Merton Hanks declaring, “you unnecessarily stepped on your opponent’s unprotected leg as he lay on the ground unable to protect himself.” However it appears that there wasn't sufficient proof that stepping on Rodgers's leg was Suh's intent http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/jachai-polite-jersey-authentic , hence why Suh won his appeal. His only punishment will be a fine worth $70,000.That evens up the playing field a little in what will be the biggest on-field battle on Sunday. Dallas and Detroit have some of the premiere playmakers on offense in the NFL, but I truly believe that this game will be won and lost in the trenches, as any classic playoff game should be. There’s no doubt the Lions’ offense can keep pace with the likes of Romo, Bryant, Murray and company, but will the defense hold up their end of the bargain? The stage was set for another dramatic Super Bowl comeback for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

That’s when Brandon Graham delivered one of the few defensive highlights in the most prolific offensive game in NFL history, ripping the ball out of Brady’s hands for a fumble that gave the Philadelphia Eagles their first Super Bowl title in franchise history with a 41-33 victory on Sunday night.

”When the fourth quarter came we had to go out there and make a stop Chuma Edoga Jersey ,” Graham said. ”As a defense we hadn’t been doing it all game. The offense carried us all the way through. At the end of the day we kept coming.”

Rookie Derek Barnett recovered the loose ball and Eagles fans began celebrating their first title since winning the 1960 NFL championship in what proved to be a surprise ending.

Brady had made the late-game comeback a specialty in winning a record five Super Bowl titles, including last year’s rally from 28-3 down to beat Atlanta in overtime. He also led late game-winning scoring drives to beat the Rams, Carolina and Seattle.

The Eagles showed no sign of slowing Brady down on Sunday as he threw for a playoff-record 505 yards and three touchdowns, carving up the defense at will on a night when the Patriots did not punt once or turn it over until Brady’s late fumble with New England on its 33 with just more than two minutes remaining and poised for a comeback.

That’s when Graham beat Shaq Mason off the line and reached his left hand out for Brady just before he was set to throw. Graham knocked the ball loose.

”I knew I had a one-on-one with the guard,” Graham said. ”I knew he likes to be aggressive so I tried to act like I was pulling. I snatched it right off and Tom Brady’s arm was right there and I went for the ball.”

Barnett landed on it in what will go down as one of the most memorable plays in Philadelphia history.

”BG made the play to win it,” Barnett said. ”It was a good bounce. Right into my hands.”

The fumble set up a field goal that gave the Eagles an eight-point lead and then the game ended when Brady’s desperation heave for Gronkowski in the end zone fell to the turf, sending green and white confetti to the field, emotional Eagles pouring out on the field and Brady on the ground in frustration.

The Eagles defense had offered little resistance for the first 57 minutes as the Patriots moved the ball on every drive http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/trevon-wesco-jersey-authentic , getting stopped only on a missed field goal by Stephen Gostkowski and a failed fourth-down attempt one play after Brady dropped a pass from Danny Amendola on a trick play.

But the Patriots had scored three straight touchdowns to open the second half to take their first lead of the game at 33-32 and still were in position to win after Nick Foles gave the Eagles a 38-33 lead on a TD pass to Zach Ertz.

”We stuck together,” defensive lineman Fletcher Cox said. ”Nobody panicked. We knew what we had to do to stop him. We knew it would come down to a couple of plays. We’ve been through the situation before. Guys just stepped up and make plays.”

Graham was the one who delivered, providing a defensive exclamation point in a game that featured a record 1,151 yards of offense by both teams, including 613 for the Patriots.

”They made one good play at the right time,” Brady said.
