Authentic Fred Warner Jersey from elaine's blog

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — While the offense finds it rhythm Womens Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , the Philadelphia Eagles know they can count on a smothering defense.

The group shut down Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons again in their season opener and now have a few extra days rest before hitting the road next week. Three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox dominated while playing 93 percent of the snaps in the 18-12 victory.

“It’s a credit to him and how well he’s worked in the offseason and obviously in training camp,” coach Doug Pederson said Friday. “Fletcher is a tremendous, tremendous player. He’s a strong, powerful guy, very disruptive in the pocket. Those are things that you like to see from your top players.”

The Falcons were held to 299 total yards, including 74 rushing. Ryan struggled most of the night, going 21 of 43 for 251 yards and one interception.

Philadelphia’s defense did its best work inside the red zone. Kamu Grugier-Hill stopped Devonta Freeman on fourth down from the 1 on the opening series and need a stand to seal the win. The defense forced Ryan to throw four straight incomplete passes from the 10 on the final possession only to have a penalty give the Falcons one more chance from the 5. Ronald Darby prevented Julio Jones from making a catch in the left corner of the end zone on the last play .

“We put a big emphasis on red zone,” safety Malcolm Jenkins said. “Our scheme is pretty simple, we’re really good at what we do, we detail every small thing, and we trust our players. When we get down to it, it’s nothing complex or anything. We just do our jobs and we trust our matchups. Obviously guys show up, and it’s been crucial for our team.”

The offense took a while to get going after a shaky preseason in which most starters didn’t play much. With Carson Wentz still recovering from knee surgery and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery also sidelined, the unit was out of sync.

Nick Foles wasn’t sharp but played mistake-free until a pass bounced out of rookie Dallas Goedert’s hands and went right to Atlanta’s Deion Jones. But Pederson turned to his trick plays and called Foles’ number in the third quarter to invigorate the offense and the crowd. Nelson Agholor’s 15-yard pass to Foles extended a drive that ended with Jay Ajayi’s first of two TD runs.

“I knew the play was going to be effective based on what the Falcons had been showing up in that situation, and I needed it to work and be a spark for the offense Authentic Fred Warner Jersey ,” Pederson said. “I try not to do things as conventional at times, but at the same time, I want to make sure that I’m doing the best for the football team and giving us a chance to succeed.”

The Eagles will play at Tampa Bay on Sept. 16. They came out of the opener without any significant injuries and will get linebacker Nigel Bradham back against the Buccaneers. He served a one-game suspension Thursday night.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The stat sheet couldn’t have been more lopsided. The San Francisco 49ers had decided edges in yards, first downs, time of possession and just about every other statistical category except one and ended on the losing end against Arizona.

That’s what committing five turnovers and getting no takeaways will do.

C.J. Beathard threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles and Raheem Mostert also coughed one up for the 49ers, who gave away a game to the previously winless Arizona Cardinals in a 28-18 loss Sunday.

The Niners (1-4) lost despite outgaining the Cardinals (1-4) by a 447 to 220 yard margin, recording 23 more first downs, running 43 more plays and more than doubling Arizona’s time of possession.

“You look at a lot of those (stats), it’s hard to find how you lost a game,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “Then it’s very easy when you look at the turnover column. I haven’t been part of any game, I don’t think many people have, where five turnovers to zero leads to a win. We have to improve that drastically to have a chance.”

The Niners started the game well, taking the opening kick and driving 75 yards for a touchdown. Beathard completed all five passes on the drive as San Francisco exploited Arizona with screen plays, including the 5-yard touchdown pass to Matt Breida.

But the next eight drives resulted in one interception Youth Paul Worrilow Jersey , two fumbles, one missed field goal and four punts.

“It is self-inflicted wounds and those are toughest ones to swallow,” fullback Kyle Juszczyk said. “Because you don’t feel like it is the opponent, you feel like you are hurting yourself. We have to clean those up in practice.”

Despite those woes, San Francisco’s defense shut down rookie Josh Rosen after allowing a 75-yard touchdown pass on Arizona’s first play and the Niners were in position to take this game when Beathard threw a 1-yard TD to Trent Taylor on fourth down with 6:51 to go to make it 14-12.

Chandler Jones then batted away a potential game-tying 2-point conversion try, but the 49ers forced a three-and-out to get the ball back with 5:50 to play needing only a field goal for the lead.

Then on the third play, Beathard dropped back and Haason Reddick knocked the ball out of his hands. Josh Bynes scooped it up and ran 23 yards for the game-sealing touchdown.

Beathard threw one more interception before adding a garbage time touchdown that did little to ease the pain of this loss.

“You can’t win ball games turning the ball over five times,” Beathard said. “I feel like we played well in all the other aspects except for turnovers. Just got to take better care of the ball.”

The 49ers held Arizona to just 3.0 yards per play after allowing a 75-yard touchdown pass from Josh Rosen to Christian Kirk on Arizona’s opening play when free safety Adrian Colbert jumped up in the play to take away Larry Fitzgerald and let Kirk get open deep.

But the defense was unable to help the offense out by generating any turnovers against a rookie quarterback.

“It’s frustrating,” cornerback Richard Sherman said. “Obviously the first play of the game on defense, we give up a big play. We just have to be better than that. It was a simple play, it was easy to get stopped and we just didn’t execute it like we needed to. So, that’s where you need to because after that they didn’t have much. We gave them 75 yards to start and I think they had 200 in the game and 30 rushing. So, we have to find a way to get that out of there.”
