Antonio Brown on the roster — and as Brown is nowhere to be seen or even mentioned by the Raiders’ employees broadcasting the game on TV — multiple other NFL teams are likely smiling tonight.First Vladimir Ducasse Jersey , and most obviously, the Steelers. While it appeared that the Steelers got the short end of a deal that sent only a third-round and fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh for one of the best receivers in football, it’s currently looking like the Steelers fleeced the Raiders.Second, the Bills were ready to trade for Brown but Brown wanted nothing to do with the Bills. And the Bills should be popping the bubbly over the fact that Brown isn’t their problem right now.Third, while a trade between the Steelers and the Browns wasn’t likely, Cleveland has to be feeling pretty good about getting Odell Beckham Jr. instead of Brown. Yes, it required more trade compensation Womens Jason Croom Jersey , but the Browns got OBJ’s contract as is with not adjustment (yet), and Beckham has been a model citizen in comparison to Brown, who has continued a pattern of erratic and unpredictable behavior that the Steelers quietly tolerated for years — and that may be approaching critical mass if Brown is serious about not playing if he can’t wear a helmet that can’t be certified for use due to the fact that it’s more than 10 years old.Fourh, any other team that even pondered the possibility of trading for Brown has to be counting their blessings for not making a serious run at the player. While the current ugliness may pass and Brown may become as good as he ever was, it’s currently looking like the Raiders have made in trading for Brown the mirror image of the mistake they made in trading Khalil Mack last year. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Buffalo Bills unfolded an astute defensive game plan at Minnesota and unleashed their front seven on Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.The most important part of their preparation and execution? Forcing Cousins to fumble.With a third-down strip-sack of Cousins inside the 20-yard line to turn the ball over on each of Minnesota’s first two possessions, Buffalo converted those big plays into 10 easy points on the way to a 27-6 victory Sunday.“We drop back every single day and talk about having two hands on the ball and protecting the football and understanding how important that is,” said Cousins http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-star-lotulelei-jersey , who also threw an interception.Since Cousins became a full-time starter for Washington to begin the 2015 season, he has fumbled 33 times. That’s one behind Seattle’s Russell Wilson for the most in the NFL over that span. Cousins has lost 13 of those fumbles, including the pair in the first quarter on sacks by Jerry Hughes and Trent Murphy . Lorenzo Alexander and Matt Milano, who picked off the bobbled pass in the third quarter , recovered them.According to Alexander, the defense made Cousins a prime target for prying the ball loose in meetings during the week.“With guys like Jerry and Trent coming in from behind, they just don’t have the awareness that a running back or receiver would have Rafael Bush Jersey ,” Alexander said. “We’re always taught to strip the ball because sack fumbles are game-changers.”With Vikings running back Dalvin Cook held out because of a hamstring injury and the Bills ahead 24-0 with less than three minutes elapsed in the second quarter, the pressure only increased on Cousins and his offensive line. The Vikings attempted a franchise-record six rushes, two of which were scrambles by Cousins. He finished 40 for 55 for 296 yards, including a late touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph .“Our secondary has been doing a fantastic job of making the quarterback hold the ball for us,” said Hughes, who dominated left tackle Riley Reiff throughout the game and had two quarterback hits.Milano and Kyle Williams also registered sacks. The Vikings had only 46 yards at halftime.“They’re a good defense,” Reiff said Womens Marcus Murphy Jersey , “and it wasn’t fun.”Head coach Sean McDermott took over the play-calling responsibility from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier at halftime last week against San Diego, with the Bills trailing 28-6. McDermott said he and Frazier, the former Vikings head coach, were in collaboration with the play-calling this time.“I want to give credit to the staff and players with getting on the same page with what we’re trying to get done,” McDermott said.That included a priority of pressuring Cousins, who lost to Carolina with Washington while McDermott was the defensive coordinator there in both 2015 and 2016. Cousins threw two interceptions, lost three fumbles and was sacked six times over those previous two games.“He had always given me a hard time when I played him White Eddie Yarbrough Jerseys , so I just felt that these guys were going to be a challenge,” Cousins said, “and they were.”
