Every play in
NHL Hockey Jerseys football requires 11 players simultaneously jolting into action, and NFL teams have complex methods of making this work. Players screw this up a lot, resulting in false starts. When that player is the center, whose job it is to snap the ball, they look like they've given up on football and life entirely:
That's Travis Swanson, the Lions' center, transformed
Wholesale NFL Jerseys Nike into a statue as football goes on around him. It looks like Golden Tate, the slot receiver, was going off the snap of the ball and not the count, so he's just chilling out too. Obviously, this was a false start. The referees had the fun task of picking which of the eight false starting players to call for the penalty.
This is all despite the
Nike NFL Jerseys fact that he was benched in the third quarter in a humiliating loss to the Arizona Cardinals in early October. Stafford hit the lowest point of his career in that game, but the Lions made it clear that he was still their starter and he rewarded them with very strong play.
It's been a rough year for
MLB Baseball Jerseys ESPN and Monday Night Football, with the second half of the season plagued by meaningless matchups and no flex scheduling available. While this week's game was fun and surprisingly competitive late, it ultimately doesn't mean much in the bigger picture.

Brees drove the ball back into the red zone at the two-minute warning and hit Benjamin Watson to keep things close, but the Lions recovered the onside kick and bled enough clock to seal the game. New Orleans' final chance with the ball went nowhere.
