AFC East Champions

Once again, my favorite team in the whole entire world has clinched the AFC East for the sixth year in a row! After the disaster showdown week one against the Miami Dolphins, where New England walked away with the first loss of the season, the tables were turned. New England handed Miami their seventh loss.

In the 41-13 win over Miami, quarterback Tom Brady threw for two touchdown passes during the third quarter. He completed 21 out of 35 attempts for 287 yards. Just seconds before halftime, Miami's quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is in his third year, completed a 32-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace. This play was first ruled an incompletion and after being reviewed the ruling on the field changed to a touchdown. The score heading into halftime was 14-13.

New England came out for the second half with guns ablazing. In just the third quarter alone, 24 consecutive points were put on the board.

Now if New England heads into the playoffs beating both the Jets and the Bills, home-field advantage will be locked.

Now this is a little off topic but forgive me because I must say it. This past week it was reported that Julian Edelman has himself an admirer. The wide receiver has apparently caught the attention of 90210 actress, Annalynne McCord. Don't get me wrong, the girl is drop dead gorgeous but could she be the reason behind his small fumble that he, thankfully, recovered? I watched this game and he just did not seem to be 100 percent there. Hopefully this bitch doesn't become too much of a distraction because it is way too close to playoffs and the Super Bowl for a player to get distracted. Football is first. New England has worked all of their sexy asses off to get to where they are today so please hold off til offseason to start something.

Blount's Back Baby!

Hallelujah! LeGarrette Blount is back! My favorite running back is back to being a New England Patriot. Two days after the Steelers released him, he signed a two-year deal back with the Patriots. Many stated after the signing that they weren't sure exactly why New England re-signed him especially Jonas Gray had an amazing breakout performance that following week against Indianapolis, but look at what he did when he was a Patriot the first time. He rushed for 772 yards and let's not forget the 166-yard game with four touchdowns against Indianapolis last season in the playoffs. With Ridley being out for the season, New England is left with Shane Vereen and Jonas Gray. Signing LeGarrette back was a great decision.

With the Steelers, Blount had rushed a total of 266 yards and two touchdowns with only 65 carries in the first ten games. Since being back with New England, Blount has rushed for 202 yards with two touchdowns!

Prior to the start of the 2014-2015 season, Blount signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. While a Steeler, he was arrested on a marijuana charge with former teammate, Le'Veon Bell who is also a Pittsburgh Steeler running back. A judge ruled on Wednesday that the charge will be withdrawn from Blount's record once he completes fifty hours of community service. The hours must be completed by February 4. With this comes the possibility of Blount facing a fine or a one game suspension. It is also highly possible that he could face some intense drug testing which could reach up to ten times a month, all randomly.

Welcome back!! He was definitely missed.

Catch-Up

So I realize that I have been completely horrible when it comes to updating this thing this season but with going to school full-time and working full-time, it's been really hard to find that perfect balance. I doubt anybody truly reads things I post but I'm going to put this out there anyways. Since the last time that I truly blogged, I have gone back to school. My major is sports journalism but I really want to be a sideline reporter, preferably in Boston of course. Let's be honest, I'll probably never leave Indiana. 

Anyways, the reason for this post is simply to state that if I actually have any viewers, and that's a really big IF, within the next two days I should have some new postings.
