Andrew Mazza: Grade 8

During the eleventh week of the National Football League (NFL), some major games occurred. The Carolina Panthers kept a perfect season alive by clutching a game against the Redskins 44-16. Quarterback Cam Newton recorded a personal record of five passing touchdowns, and luckily for the Panthers, an early pick six was nullified after a penalty on the play. The New York Giants and New Orleans Saints had a bye week, so there was no loss for either team. Quarterback Tony Romo came back and improved the Dallas Cowboys’ record to 3-7 with a victory over the Miami Dolphins. To continue with the NFC East theme, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers overcame the Philadelphia Eagles 45-17. Quarterback Mark Sanchez started the game off really well but unfortunately could not keep the early lead with a few interceptions.

This month saw Manchester City retain their spot at the top of the table, with a 6-1 smashing of Newcastle on October 3 that saw Sergio Aguero score five goals in 20 minutes and with a 5-1 trouncing of Bournemouth the next weekend that saw Raheem Sterling score three and Wilfried Bony score two. They then drew 0-0 with Manchester United in the derby, and beat Norwich a week later on a late penalty from Yaya Toure.

Plenty of other teams have made key additions over the offseason.Read More »
