Cowboys versus Seahawks last score: Russell Wilson wins NFC shootout, outshines gritty Dak Prescott performance

Published

on

It wasn’t at first the shootout everybody was hoping to see, however it unquestionably got one as the game moved along between the Seattle Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys on the way to a 38-31 win via Seattle. Generally, the Cowboys were doing great with containing the profound ball by the Seahawks, having committed just two major errors in the principal half and tidying up one of them with an exertion play by tenderfoot second-round pick Trevon Diggs – who punched a future score free from D.K. Metcalf and constrained a touchback. The other error was harming however, permitting Tyler Lockett to score one of his three scores on the day.

Lockett’s second was an accentuation blemish on a second-quarter drive powered by three protective punishments against the Cowboys, checking one more week in which Dallas needed to endeavor to defeat its own errors. His third finished the half to give the Seahawks separation and burrowing endlessly from only an important lead.

Things tightened up in a significant manner in the subsequent half, with Dak Prescott tossing for in excess of 400 yards in his second back to back game, lifting Cowboys collector Cedrick Wilson to a lifelong day and getting large numbers from Michael Gallup. Not to be outshone, Russell Wilson proceeded with his mission for MVP, tossing for five scores with a 130.7 passer rating. At long last, it was the shootout we were completely guaranteed, with the Seahawks barely running away to keep their undefeated record flawless.

Why the Seahawks won

Russell Wilson – that is the reason.

For a second sequential game, Wilson piled on five scores and this time he tossed not a solitary block attempt. Indeed, regardless of being sacked a sum of multiple times, he didn’t turn the ball over. The revitalizing weep for his MVP offer is as defended as it’s ever been, and it assisted with seeing him face a Dallas auxiliary that is without two beginning cornerbacks – both on harmed hold – which made it considerably more hard to stop both Metcalf and Lockett. So when Lockett pulled in his third score catch of the game, it was an inescapable result Prescott would need to be the one to again make all the difference for the Cowboys, and he’d need to do it with an interwoven hostile line that experienced so much difficulty it constrained Mike McCarthy to move All-Pro right gatekeeper Zack Martin to right handle.

That didn’t stop the inside left half of from crumbling on numerous occasions however, and previous Dallas pass rusher Benson Mayowa joined Jarran Reed in assisting with turning up the pressure on Prescott when it made a difference most. Credit the Seattle safeguard for carrying out their responsibility simply enough, however the explanation the Seahawks won is the person wearing the No. 3 pullover.

Why the Cowboys lost

Russell Wilson – that is the reason.

Is there a reverberation in here? No, and keeping in mind that he’s not by any means the only explanation they lost, the fact of the matter is the Cowboys did little to stop the surge that poured downward on them in Seattle. A phenomenal three-sack trip by Aldon Smith and a fourth sack contributed by Antwaun Woods should’ve been sufficient to shake the bones of Wilson, yet it wasn’t. Diggs was exceptional in inclusion for the third consecutive week and his touchback jab against Metcalf quickly discredited the one occurrence wherein he got abused by probably the best recipient in football. But then, without two beginning corners in Anthony Brown and Chidobe Awuzie, and with various missteps at the security position at various purposes of the game – the previously mentioned sacks never really make Wilson remove his cool.

With respect to the next torpedoes that sunk the Cowboys transport? Look no farther than three exceptional groups blunders – a messed up punt that prompted a wellbeing in addition to two missed PATs – and a progression of guarded punishments that all-encompassing drives and let … sit tight for it … Wilson proceed to keep pounding the nail into Dallas’ casket. Prescott (who himself had a mix-up or two) attempted to make all the difference, once more, however didn’t get enough protective assistance to move out of the coffin in the melting away minutes of the last quarter.

Defining moment

The Cowboys were just down 23-15 going into halftime, and they were anticipating getting the show on the road back and getting an opportunity to drive down the field and conceivably tie the game. Rather, Reed beat Connor Williams to constrain a mishandle on Prescott. Mayowa recouped and the Seahawks took the ownership and pushed the lead to 30-15.

That eventually made the opening excessively profound for the Cowboys to move out of.

Play of the Game

Diggs was compensated with this extraordinary “takeaway” with a misfortune, lamentably, however it doesn’t detract from the reality he never quit on the play notwithstanding having been beat by Metcalf for the catch. Rather than easing back up and shaking his head, he accelerated and hit the ball out of the end zone.

You won’t see a play this way yet once every year in the NFL, if that, and it’s a disgrace it was in vain.

Could be better, could be more regrettable

“I don’t hate this Cowboys loss. The Seahawks are a good team, led by a QB who is the NFL MVP right now. Dallas fought and made mistakes, but the line is jacked up and it definitely impacted the play calls. It wasn’t Dak’s best game, but Dallas duked it out despite a lot of injuries.” – Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports

What’s next

The Cowboys will hope to refocus at home against the meeting Cleveland Browns, while the Seahawks head to South Florida to take on the sketchy Miami Dolphins.

Tuten Leads the Hokies with 4 Touchdowns and 266 Running Yards in a Blowout Victory

Published

on

Thursday night, Virginia Tech defeated Boston College 42–21 thanks to a school record 266 yards and four touchdowns from Bhayshul Tuten.

For the Hokies (4-3, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and never trailed en way to a second straight victory, Kyron Drones added two rushing scores and a touchdown pass.

Tuten completed 18 carries while also scoring on 83 and 61-yard touchdown runs, the latter of which came with 8:28 remaining to win the game. And he caught a touchdown pass from Drones that was 20 yards in length.

Tuten declared, “Every game is a special game.” “That’s how I look at it. I just felt a little better today. We had a bye week. I felt great throughout practice. I took the knee brace off (for a sore knee). I felt fast, I felt good, I felt fluid. I just came out and balled today, and that’s what we needed.”

After trailing 28-0 at the half, Boston College (4-3, 1-2 ACC) got within 28-21 on a 5-yard run by Kye Robichaux with 2:55 remaining in the third quarter, and they were on the drive early in the fourth. However, Robichaux was stopped on a fourth-and-1 at midfield, and Virginia Tech took advantage of the next play. With 11:02 remaining, Tuten scored on a 6-yard run to give Virginia Tech a 35-21 lead.

“That’s a good team that we beat tonight,” stated Brent Pry, the coach of Virginia Tech. “And we beat them soundly.”

With his 266 rushing yards, Tuten eclipsed the previous school record of 253 established by Darren Evans in 2008 versus Maryland. After removing Tuten from the game because of his proximity to the record, the Virginia Tech coaching staff decided to put him back in to break it. During the Hokies’ last drive, Tuten set the record with a 17-yard run.

“I normally don’t like that, but a school record at a place like Tech with so many great running backs, and he was deserving with his performance,” Pry stated.

Drones completed 14 of 18 passes for 164 yards and ran for 40 yards. Drones scored on runs of 11 yards and 1 yard on the Hokies’ opening two possessions. The Hokies finished with a season-high 533 yards, trailing just Tuten and Drones.

The Eagles finished with 372 yards, led by Thomas Castellanos, who passed for 205 yards and two touchdowns.

“I felt really good about the preparation for the game,” Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien remarked. “Obviously, I was wrong. We’ve got to prepare differently, better, whatever it might be. We’ve got to figure it out. … We’ve got to coach better. We’ve got a good coaching staff. We do. We have a lot of experience. But we didn’t play well tonight, so that’s on the coaching. We’ve got to coach better and hopefully we’ll get it turned around.”

Shohei Ohtani Gets Standing Ovation After Achieving 50-50 Milestone, Then Hits 52-52

Published

on

After securing the first 50-50 season in MLB history on Friday, Shohei Ohtani made a triumphant homecoming to Dodger Stadium. He continued doing what he does best after that.

The Los Angeles Dodgers player began the 52-52 club with a home run and a steal against the Colorado Rockies, after the teams reached 50-50 and 51-51 in the same game. In the fifth inning, Ohtani faced Rockies starter Kyle Freeland. He worked the count full before taking a pitch at his armpits to deep center field.

Few batters possess the ability to hit a pitch that high and blast it 423 feet in the opposite direction.

After a double and a single two innings later, Ohtani advanced to second base on Mookie Betts’ first pitch.

Ohtani broke Rickey Henderson’s record of 13 home runs in a single game set in 1986 by recording both a stolen base and a home run for the 14th time this season.

After going 9 for 10 with four home runs, two doubles, three steals, six runs, and 12 RBI in his last two games, Ohtani is now one home run behind Aaron Judge for the MLB lead. The majority of that output occurred on Thursday night against the Marlins, when Ohtani not only reached 50-50 with style, but he also had one of the best offensive outings in MLB history.

Ohtani combined an incredible season-long feat with the 16th 10-RBI game in MLB history in the same game that he hit his 49th, 50th, and 51st home runs of the year and stole his 50th and 51st bases. In addition, it was the first three-homer, two-steal game in MLB history, all on the anniversary of Ohtani’s unbelievable—that he didn’t have Tommy John surgery—on September 19, 2023.

The only downside of that magical night was that it happened on the road. Still, Ohtani received a curtain call at LoanDepot Park in Miami. Dodgers fans made an effort to show their support by giving him a standing ovation before his first at-bat on Friday, which earned him a wave in return.

Though it’s unclear how far into untested terrain Ohtani can go in homers and steals, he may have reached 50-50.

In addition, there’s the playoff issue. With eight games remaining, the 92-62 Dodgers have a four-game lead over the San Diego Padres for the NL West championship. They also secured their spot in the playoffs on Thursday. They’ll need to get beyond a string of pitching injuries if they hope to give Ohtani a ring, regardless of where they finish in his debut postseason.
