Motor City http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-dawson-knox-jersey , where NFC West championship shirts and hats were waiting to be worn.The victors, though, refuse to be spoiled by this accomplishment.Todd Gurley ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns to help the Rams overcome a sputtering start to beat the Detroit Lions 30-16 Sunday and clinch the division title for a second straight season.“We’re not satisfied yet,” said defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who had two sacks and forced a fumble. “But we’re headed in the right direction.”The Rams (11-1) moved a step closer to earning home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs, taking a one-game lead over New Orleans after it lost to Dallas on Thursday night. It is a cushion Los Angeles needs because its only loss was against the Saints last month.“We’re in a position right now that we feel good about,” coach Sean McVay said. “If we take care of our business, all the rest of that stuff takes care of itself.”The Lions (4-8) have lost five of six since a surge of success gave them a winning record in late October.“I’m extremely tired of losing,” center Graham Glasgow said.Detroit’s defense held Los Angeles’ high-powered offense in check for three quarters, giving the slumping team a shot to potentially pull off a stunning upset. The Lions, though, failed to make the most of the opportunity because their offense struggled to move the ball and score.Donald helped seal the win by forcing Matthew Stafford to fumble midway through the fourth quarter. The star defensive tackle had two strip-sacks in his last game on Nov. 19, a 54-51 win over Kansas City.“He held the ball and was loose with it,” Donald said. “I just took advantage.”Donald has an NFL-high 16½ sacks this season, and the Rams say he should be an MVP candidate.“He’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” quarterback Jared Goff said of the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year.Linebacker Samson Ebukam recovered Stafford’s fumble at the Detroit 24 and Gurley scored on a 13-yard run three snaps later http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dexter-lawrence-jersey , giving the Rams a 23-13 lead.Goff, perhaps rusty coming off a bye week, was off the mark on many passes and lost a fumble to help keep the game close. His lackluster performance led to Los Angeles settling for Greg Zuerlein kicking three field goals. Goff was 17 of 33 for 207 yards with a tiebreaking, 8-yard touchdown pass to Robert Woods late in the second quarter. Goff also threw an interception on an overthrown pass in the second quarter and lost a fumble in the third quarter.The Rams were able to lean on Gurley, who has a single-season franchise record with 15 rushing touchdowns. The star running back also caught three passes for 33 yards.Stafford was 20 of 33 yards for 245 yards with an 11-yard touchdown pass to tackle Taylor Decker, who faked the Rams out by blocking for a moment before releasing into the flat where he was left wide open. Decker’s touchdown pulled Detroit within three points late in the third quarter.The Lions had a chance to cut its deficit to three again late in the game, but Kenny Golladay couldn’t get both feet in the end zone on a pass from Stafford and they had settle for Matt Prater’s third field goal.SAVVY MOVEGurley converted a third down late in the game, and after breaking free, he chose not to score to run more time off the clock and force Detroit to take timeouts. It proved a good move because Gurley ran for a 2-yard score with 1:54 left and the Lions were left with no timeouts on their final drive. That ended with Troy Hill intercepting a pass in the end zone with 12 seconds left.“I wanted to waste some time,” Gurley said.SUH OR BOO?Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh played against Detroit for the first time and made six tackles.“I got a warm welcome back,” he said.Detroit drafted Suh No. 2 overall eight years ago and he left for Miami as a free agent in 2015. After the Dolphins cut him earlier this year, he signed a one-year deal with the Rams.When he played for the Lions, the fans would say his last name after he made a play. When his name was announced after his first tackle Sunday, the crowd seemed to jeer him.“I don’t believe it was a boo,” Suh said.STILL COOKINGLos Angeles receiver Brandin Cooks, who had four receptions for 62 yards http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/zach-allen-jersey , became the first player in NFL history with 1,000 yards receiving in three straight years with three different franchises. He helped set up a field goal that gave the Rams a 13-3 halftime lead.Cooks surpassed 1,000 last year with New England and in 2016 with New Orleans. Cooks also had a 1,000-yard season with the Saints in 2015.INJURY REPORTRams: RB Malcom Brown left the game with a shoulder injury. CB Aqib Talib played for the first time since going down with an ankle injury in Week 3.Lions: LB Devon Kennard went out with a hip injury.UP NEXTRams: Play at Chicago on Sunday night.Lions: Play at Arizona on Sunday.

All times are Eastern. — SATURDAY, Dec. 9 FBN–ROOKIE TRENDS Rookies matter more than ever in the NFL nowadays, and the statistics make that clear: With players such as Kareem Hunt and Deshaun Watson (until he got injured, anyway) making immediate impacts, this season’s rookie class ranks among the strongest since 2000, showing up as No. 1 in rushing yards, No. 2 in TDs scored Cullen Gillaspia Jersey , No. 3 in receiving yards, No. 4 in total tackles. Still, an AP examination of the past 10 seasons shows that Super Bowl teams tend to rely less on first-year players than others around the league, while the worst clubs (think: Cleveland Browns) keep using plenty of rookies without much to show for it.

A look at a handful of the most, and least, successful NFL rookies this season. By Howard Fendrich. UPCOMING: 500 words, photos. MONDAY, Dec. 11 FBN–CBS VS WRS When the in-game tussles featuring Aqib Talib vs. Michael Crabtree, and Jalen Ramsey vs. A.J. Green played out, Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Ronnie Lott thought back to a bit of advice he received decades ago, before his San Francisco 49ers faced the Dallas Cowboys. ”`Do not get into a talking match. … Stay focused on the game,”’ Lott said recalled. ”I’m sure that some coach or somebody said, `Don’t get caught up in that’ to the guys involved in these things this season. Whatever the coaches said, it didn’t work.” Sometimes, it seems Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , conflicts between cornerbacks and wideouts are simply unavoidable. It is a unique dynamic in NFL games week after week: On play after play, CBs and WRs match up 1-on-1, with plenty of grabbing and shoving and, yes, yapping mixed in.

The franchise has relocated to Arizona between back-to-back road games between the Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, and coach Mike Mularkey wanted to avoid the jet lag resulting from returning home. It’s a trick used by lots of NFL teams over the years with Philadelphia spending a week in Los Angeles for the very same reasons. This road trip has required months of planning, trucks, three different airplanes and lots and lots of equipment. By Pro Football Writer Teresa M. Walker.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 13 US-TAX BILL-COLLEGE COACHES WASHINGTON – If Congress was trying to send a message to schools hiring coaches this fall when it approved a new tax on seven-figure salaries, it hasn’t gotten through yet. Football powers aiming for a national title have continued to pay market rate for proven coaches, topped by the $75 million deal for Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M. If the GOP tax overhaul becomes law, the school will have to pay $15 million in new taxes over the life of that contract. By Ben Nuckols.
