New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers game: score, schedule

The New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers headed into their preseason NFL football game on the schedule tonight in which one team’s three quarterbacks already looked sharp and the other team hadn’t yet seen the field. When the Giants played in the Hall of Fame game last Sunday, starting quarterback Eli Manning, veteran reserve Curtis Painter, and young backup Ryan Nassib all had high completion rates. Tonight the story was somewhat different, in a game whose final score was decided by four points.

Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning both saw limited time on the field, and neither did much with it accordingly. Curtis Painter of the NY Giants had the best night of any quarterback, throwing a touchdown pass and notching a passer rating of 146. Nassib had an average night, going 12-21 and no TDs or interceptions. For Pittsburgh, Bruce Gradkowski and Landry Jones both had nondescript nights. The biggest story of the game may have been the rushing performance of Rashad Jennings, who had 85 yards and a touchdown on five carries. But the final score was determined by the backups.

The New York Giants were the winners over the Pittsburgh Steelers by a final score of 20-16. The next game on the Giants schedule is Saturday night at the Indianapolis Colts. The next game on the schedule for the Steelers is at home against the Buffalo Bills, also on Saturday night.

Green Bay Packers vs Tennessee Titans game: score, schedule

The Green Bay Packers and the Tennessee Titans faced off in their first preseason NFL football game on the schedule tonight in which one team is trying to get its All Pro pieces to gel and the other is looking for a fresh start with a new head coach. Ken Whisenhunt takes over the reins from Mike Munchak in Nashville, and tonight will be his first on-field action in that capacity. In the end, the game was decided by a late touchdown and a four point score.

Green Bay sat Aaron Rodgers and instead featured backup quarterbacks Scott Tolzien, who performed well with a passer rating of one hundred, and Matt Flynn who had a more pedestrian night for the Packers. Tennessee gave limited playing time to Jake Locker and rookie Zach Mettengberger, both of whom failed to make an impression, as Charlie Whitehurst looked strong for the Titans.

The Tennessee Titans were the winners over the Green Bay Packers by a final score of 20-16. The next game on the Packers schedule is at the St Louis Rams on Saturday afternoon, while the next game on the schedule for the Titans is at the New Orleans Saints on Friday night.

Houston Texans vs Arizona Cardinals game: score, schedule

The Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals faced each other tonight in their first NFL preseason football game on the schedule, with both teams trying to take a step forward, but in fairly different contexts. The Texans, normally contenders, washed out last season and are now starting fresh with a new coach and new quarterback. The Cardinals had a strong season last year, and are now trying to move into the postseason. In the end, the game was settled by a blowout score.

Houston failed to add a top quarterback in the draft, and the resulting hole in the roster was evident tonight as veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick looked awful with a pair of interceptions and a passer rating of just fourteen. Backup Case Keenum didn’t look much better for the Texans. Carson Palmer had a perfect passer rating for Arizona, and his backups performed nearly as well.

The Arizona Cardinals were the winners by a final score of 32-0, the first shutout of the preseason. The next game on the schedule for the Cardinals is at The Minnesota Vikings on Saturday night. The next game on the Texans schedule is at home against the Atlanta Falcons, also on Saturday night.

Detroit Lions vs Cleveland Browns game score schedule winner

The Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions faced off tonight in their first NFL preseason football game on the schedule, with one team firmly entrenched at the quarterback position while the other team tried to keep its quarterback battle from becoming a circus. The Lions continue this season with the tandem of Matthew Stafford and “Megatron” Calvin Johnson, while the Browns attempt to decide whether Bryan Hoyer or rookie Johnny Manziel will be their starter. Final score and upcoming schedule below.

Hoyer and Johnny Manziel both played fairly well for Cleveland, but neither was able to produce significant points for the Browns. Detroit couldn’t put much on the board either tonight, and in the end the score was decided by a single point.

The Detroit Lions were the winner over the Cleveland Browns by a final score of 13-12. The next game on the schedule for the Lions is against the Oakland Raiders on Friday night. The next game on the Browns schedule is against the Washington Redskins on Monday night.

friday-night-fights-boxing

Vyacheslav Glazkov vs Derric Rossy is the headlining boxing match tonight on a schedule which features a number of fights airing live from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tonight’s matches are airing on a TV channel which most cable and satellite viewers have access to, but may have difficulty finding on the television dial due to its obscurity and its early start time - although it will also officially air live online for free.

Alongside the Glazkov vs Rossy heavyweight boxing match tonight is a fight between Vasily Lepikhin and Robert Berridge, who are facing off in the light heavyweight category on the undercard. The entire boxing action tonight only lasts for two scheduled hours, so the usual strategy of tuning in around midnight to catch the much delayed headlining fight won’t work this time.

Tonight’s boxing match between Vyacheslav Glazkov and Derric Rossy has a start time schedule of 8:00pm eastern time and airs on TV channel NBCSN, the NBC Sports Network, which is channel number 220 on DirecTV and 159 on Dish Network. The fight will also air live free online via NBC streaming. Tonight’s fight will also be competing against Garcia vs Selka on a competing channel.

The Carolina Panthers and the Buffalo Bills went into tonight’s NFL football preseason game with one team having already played its first game of the year. The Bills were fresh off the Hall of Fame Game against the New York Giants, while the Panthers were officially seeing the field for the first time this season tonight. Final score and schedule for both teams are below.

Buffalo saw fairly strong performances from all three of its quarterbacks tonight. Starter EJ Manuel was 9-13 with a 90 quarterback rating, while backups Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel also completed the majority of their passes for the Bills. Carolina sat starter Cam Newton tonight, and instead got a decent performance out of Joe Webb and a highly effective performance from veteran journeyman Derek Anderson. In the end, tonight’s game was decided by just a pair of points.

The Buffalo Bills were the winner of tonight’s game over the Carolina Panthers by a final score of 20-18, thanks to a touchdown pass by Webb in the fourth quarter.

New Orleans Saints vs St Louis Rams game final score, schedule

The New Orleans Saints and St Louis Rams kicked off their 2014 NFL preseasons tonight in a game saw both teams attempted to assess how far along they are heading into seasons in which both have playoff aspirations. The Saints are looking to get back to their championship form which hasn’t quite been intact since the Bountygate scandal, while the Rams are continuing to hope Sam Bradford is their answer at quarterback. Final score and schedule below.

What would have been billed as a matchup between star quarterback Drew Brees and third year prospect Sam Bradford if this were a regular season game, was instead a battle between backups, as neither starter even played. New Orleans saw its reserve QB situation become a bit more clear, as Ryan Griffin notched a passer rating of 107 while Luke McCown managed a mere 41 rating for the Saints. Saint Louis saw strong performances from both Austin Davis and Shaun Hill. In the end, the game was decided by just two points.

The New Orleans Saints won tonight’s game over the St Louis Rams by a final score of 26-24. The next game on the Saints schedule is Friday night August 15th at home against the Tennessee Titans. The next game on the schedule for the Rams is Saturday afternoon August 16th at home against the Green Bay Packers.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Chicago Bears game: score, schedule NFL

The Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears faced off tonight in their first NFL preseason game of 2014, with both teams seeking the playoffs and bot featuring a second year head coach trying to take his starting quarterback to the next level after each parting with a high profile backup QB. Is this the year Jay Cutler finally looks like his old self? Can Nick Foles repeat his statistically spectacular efforts? Some of those questions were answered tonight. Final score and schedules below…

Tonight’s game was a high scoring affair in which eight quarterbacks played and three of them had passer ratings higher than one hundred. Oddly enough Nick Foles wasn’t one of them, throwing two interceptions for Philadelphia and having an off night overall. Mark Sanchez had an impressive debut for the Eagles, but isn’t in any danger of winning the starting job. Jay Cutler looked strong for Chicago, as did reserves Jimmy Clausen and Jordan Palmer, both of whom are hoping to win the backup job from the departed Josh McCown. In the end, the win went to the last team to score.

The Chicago Bears won tonight’s game over the Philadelphia Eagles by a final score of 34-28. The next game on the schedule for the Bears is Thursday night August 14th at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which will air nationally on ESPN. The next game on the Eagles schedule is Friday night August 15th at the New England Patriots, airing on the NFL Network.

Tampa Bay Bucs vs Jacksonville Jaguars game: score, schedule

The Tampa Bay Bucs and Jacksonville Jaguars got their 2014 NFL campaigns underway tonight with a preseason game which saw the two Florida teams facing off in their traditional August annual exhibition outing. Both teams are in transition heading into this season, one with a new coach and the other with a new quarterback. Final score and upcoming schedule for both teams below.

Tampa saw the debut of new head coach Lovie Smith tonight, and along with him new quarterback Josh McCown, who did little in the game. Instead it was incumbent QB Mike Glennon who looked strong in extended action, nearing a passer rating of one hundred for the Buccaneers. Jacksonville put rookie quarterback Blake Bortles on the field for the first time, and he looked far better than journeyman Chad Henne. In the end, the final score was determined primarily by backup players on both sides.

The Jacksonville Jaguars won over the Tampa Bay Bucs by a final score of 16-10. The next game on the Jags schedule is Thursday night, August 14th, at the Chicago Bears, airing on TV channel ESPN. The next Bucs game on the schedule is at home against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night, August 16th.

Oakland Raiders vs Minnesota Vikings game: score, schedule

The Oakland Raiders and the Minnesota Vikings headed into their first NFL preseason game of the year tonight both sporting new faces and posing new questions at the starting quarterback position, but in entirely different contexts. The Raiders are hoping their new acquisition, veteran QB Matt Schaub, is their long awaited answer. The Vikings are looking to the future with young QB Teddy Bridgewater. Final score and upcoming schedules are below.

The star of the night was Matt Cassel for Minnesota, who may have chance to win the starting quarterback job despite the Vikings intention to move Teddy Bridgewater into the role eventually. Cassel was 5 for 6 and had a passer rating of 109, while Bridgewater and Christian Ponder each struggled to achieve ratings half that high. Oakland threw three quarterbacks on the field and they each turned in middling performances. Matt McGloin was 11 for 18, while new arrival Matt Schaub only completed three passes on the night and Derek Carr looked even worse. In the end, neither team managed to put up much of a score.

The Minnesota Vikings won the game over the Oakland Raiders by score of 10-6, despite not scoring after the first quarter. The next game on the Vikings schedule is at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night, August 16th. The next game on the schedule for the Raiders is a home game against the Detroit Lions on Friday night, August 15th.
