Nfl, the results: Tampa and Brady break the New Orleans taboo

Brady breaks the last taboo for Tampa, Tagovailoa and Murray give Miami and Arizona unforgettable comebacks. It is the showcase of the second NFL Sunday, which will be complemented by a double Monday Night: Buffalo-Tennessee and Philadelphia-Minnesota.

New Orleans-Tampa 10-20

The Saints had won the last 7 times in a row against the Bucs in the regular season, 4 since Tom Brady’s arrival in Florida. This time the script changes, despite the 3-0 at half-time. Why Jameis Winston messes too much: 3 interceptions in the last quarter are fatal, two by cornerback Jamel Deane, one brought back in goal by the safety, Mike Edwards. The host defense dominates: the forced turnovers are 5, the sack to the opposing quarterback even 6. Brady, without the injured Chris Godwin and Julio Jones, with Mike Evans who is sent off for messing with Marshon Lattimore, limits himself to limiting the errors, of experience, finding in the end zone the fourth option, as receiver: Breshad Perriman. Tampa, one of the favorites for the Super Bowl, after Dallas also conquers the Big Easy.

Baltimore-Miami 38-42

For the Ravens it all seemed easy: ahead 35-14 in the last quarter, with Lamar Jackson having already thrown 210 yards at half-time, finishing above 28-7. But the Dolphins have an atomic attack, after adding Ty Hill to Jaylen Weddle: the two receive respectively for 190 and 171 yards, going crazy. Tua Tagovailoa redeems two interceptions ending up with 6 touchdowns launched and even 469 total yards ground on the passes. A kick from the usual icy Justin Tucker seems to give Baltimore success (1-1), but Miami remains unbeaten thanks to the combination in the end zone Tua-Waddle with just 14 ”still on the clock.

Las Vegas-Arizona 23-29 dts

Another comeback out of the world, another external success, this one at extra time. The Raiders, ahead 23-7 in the last quarter, appear in control, but the Cardinals score 16 points in the last fraction of the regulation, converting from 2 points to two tries in a row. The first with a 20 ”horizontal Kyler Murray run, mainly, before walking around the end zone. Then Murray, after scoring 21-23 at the end of time, perfects the tie conversion with a millimeter pitch for AJ Green. In extra time, Hunter Renfrow’s fumble, forced by Isaiah Simmons propitiates Byron Murphy’s return from 62 yards in goal. Derek Carr finds just 2 times for 12 yards In front of Adams: mortal sin.
