Vikings vs. Bengals. Bengals were winning 10-0 with 2:48 remaining in the first half. The rookie Quarter Back Andy Dalton threw a short pass to his Wide Receiver, Jerome Simpson. Simpson ran down the sideline and did a flip into the Endzone. (Literally)
Two days ago on August 24, 2013 I was watching a high school football game on ESPN. The game was Apopka (Fla.) vs. Byrnes (S.C.). It was the fourth quarter with 6:10 remaining on the clock. Darlington was escaping the pocket, he escaped the first tackle and when he got to the line of scrimmage he put down his shoulders and turned into a runner at that point. Number 44 comes up and hammers Darlington and knocks him out of bounds. The hit was perfectly legal and there weren't penalty flags. Darlington wasn't getting up. They had to put him on a stretcher and a brace around his neck. Darlington was unconscious for a certain period of time. Near the end of the game a helicopter few over the field and landed on the practice field and airlifted him to the hospital. The doctors said that Darlington should be in the hospital for 1-2 days.
My friend posted a video on YouTube of my top 60 football cards. The video got so long that we had to suppurate it into two parts of part on in part two. Please watch it.
The Indianapolis Colts had the number one overall draft pick in 2012. So the Colts drafted Andrew Luck Quarterback out of Stanford. Luck did great in the NFL his first year. He had 339 attempts and completed 627 of them. He passed for 4,374 and 23 touchdowns. Other than the great Andrew Luck there is another great rookie on the Colts offense. He is a great rookie Wide Receiver T. Y. Hilton. He was drafted round 3 draft pick 92. His real name is Eugene. His dad's name is Tyrone so people called him Little Ty, so now people call him T. Y.
Hilton has 50 receptions, 861 yards, he averaged 17.2 yards, and had 7 touchdowns. Hilton also did great in kick/punt returning. He had 7 kick returns for 118 yards and had an average of 16.9. Hilton had 26 punt returns for 300 yards and 1 touchdown. In week 12 Hilton was the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Great future Hall of Famer Wide Receiver Reggie Wayne helped out Hilton his rookie year and Hilton said "Any questions I have he's going to answer." In week 12 2012 T. Y. Hilton played his best game yet. The game was Colts vs. Bills. Hilton returned punt for a touchdown and had an easy 8 yard reception for a touchdown. With the help of Hilton's two scores the Colts won 20-13. Hilton signed a contract with the Colts wort $2.642 million for over four years. The Colt are looking to win another Superbowl with their Future Franchise.
Detroit Lions kicker, Jason Hanson, retired this year. Hanson was drafted by the Lions in 1992 Round 2 Pick 56. He was a 21 year old veteran with great stats. He made it to two pro-bowls, broke many records, made 495/601 field goals, scored 2,150 points, and made his career longest 56 yard field goal.

Sincethe 21 year old veteran retired, the Lions needed to get another kicker so the signed San Francisco 49ers' kicker David Akers. Akers made it to 6 pro bowls, 1,622 points, made 367/453 field goals, and tied an NFL record last year for longest field goal which was 63 yards long.

But David Akers has some competition. Because the Detroit Lions signed a Norwegian kicker on September 16, 2012. His name is Havard Rugland and he is 28 years old. there is a popular video on YouTube of Rugland called KickaliciousTM which was made by bighdeluxe. Out of the two great kicker I wonder who will start.
