Rams drafted Sam even though they didnt need Antworten

Andrew Luck spoiled another Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning showdown.Its the Indianapolis Colts at the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game next Sunday. The Green Bay Packers visit the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC title game earlier in the day.Luck threw for 265 yards and a pair of touchdowns Sunday to lead the Colts over Manning and the Broncos 24-13, sending Indianapolis (13-5) to its first conference championship game since Manning led them past the New York Jets in January 2010.I think were playing good team ball, Luck said. Its a great night, so proud to be part of this Colts victory.Luck, who replaced Manning in Indianapolis in 2012, enters Championship Sunday as the only one of the four starting QBs without a Super Bowl ring.Brady and Manning went head-to-head in three previous AFC championship games, including last years won by the Broncos. But Manning fell to 11-13 in the post-season following one of his worst playoff performances ever.New England (13-4) opened as 7 1/2-point favourites against the Colts. The Patriots beat the Colts 42-20 at Indianapolis in Week 11 as Jonas Gray ran for a franchise-record four TDs.In the NFC, the Packers (13-4) and Seahawks (13-4) are set for a rematch of this seasons NFL opener. The Seahawks opened as seven-point favourites.Aaron Rodgers threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns and the Packers rallied from an eight-point deficit to beat the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 on Sunday and advance to the conference title game for the first time in four years.Now, the Packers travel to Seattle to face the defending Super Bowl champions, who dominated Green Bay in a 36-16 win Sept. 4.Rodgers overcame a calf injury that limited his mobility to lead the Packers over the Cowboys. His 13-yard TD pass to backup tight end Richard Rodgers in the fourth quarter gave Green Bay the lead for good.A video review reversed a 31-yard catch by Dez Bryant to the Packers 1 on fourth-and-2, and the Cowboys didnt get the ball back.Ill do everything I can to get ready to go to Seattle and play a great team, Rodgers said.The Packers finished the season 9-0 at Lambeau Field, but theyll have to go on the road to face a team with a similar home-field advantage in a noisy environment created by the 12th Man. The Seahawks are 25-2 at CenturyLink Field in quarterback Russell Wilsons three years, including 8-1 this season.In Week 1, Marshawn Lynch ran for 110 yards and two TDs as the Seahawks blew past Green Bay. Rodgers was 23 of 33 for 189 yards, one TD and one interception. He looked almost exclusively for Jordy Nelson matched up against Byron Maxwell and never threw in Richard Shermans direction.Eddie Lacy, who ran for 101 yards against the Cowboys, was mostly a non-factor at Seattle with 34 yards rushing on 12 carries and left in the fourth quarter with a concussion.On Saturday, the Seahawks moved one step closer to becoming the first team to Re-Pete since the Patriots a decade ago.Wilson threw three touchdown passes, Kam Chancellor returned an interception 90 yards for a touchdown, and the Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17.Its exciting but the job is not done. There is still a lot more to do, Wilson said.At Foxborough, Massachusetts, Brady twice rallied the Patriots from 14-point deficits — the first team to do that in NFL playoff history — to advance to the AFC championship game for the fourth straight year with a 35-31 win over the Baltimore Ravens.Brady completed 33 of 50 passes for 367 yards for an offence that ran for only 14, the second fewest in team playoff history. Bradys 46th career playoff touchdown pass, a decisive 23-yard toss to Brandon LaFell with just over five minutes left, surpassed Joe Montanas 45 for most in NFL history.Behind twice by 14 wasnt necessarily in the plan, Brady said. It took a lot of execution to overcome it.___AP Pro Football Writers Barry Wilner and Arnie Stapleton and AP Sports Writers Tim Booth and Howard Ulman contributed.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Lundmark .com) - Whew!

He seemed almost eager for the attention and scrutiny. The first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team was confident and engaged Tuesday as he was formally introduced by the St. Louis Rams, handling questions and scrutiny with aplomb well beyond that of a typical seventh-round pick. "Im determined to be great," Sam said. "I understand that right now you guys want to make a big deal of it." Sam put his arm around coach Jeff Fisher after sharing the podium with other late-round picks. He joked that hed never before heard the term "tweener" and even rose in his chair in mock intimidation of fellow Missouri draftee E.J. Gaines, a sixth-rounder whod been asked what the SEC co-defensive player of the year was like as a teammate. Sam, who came out to teammates and coaches before his senior season at Missouri, disagreed that his sexuality had been a secret. "Apparently, everybody else makes a big deal out of it," Sam said. "But my teammates and my school didnt." "Its OK to be who you are," he added. "Whether youre gay, straight, black or white, its OK to be comfortable in your own skin." After getting the go-ahead from owner Stan Kroenke and making the pick Saturday, Fisher called it a "second historic moment" for a franchise that signed running back Kenny Washington in 1946 as the NFLs first black player in the modern era. Just as in his post-draft teleconference with St. Louis media that was sprinkled with salty language, Sam was feisty. Hes had a few months to get accustomed to the role of trailblazer instead of a silent star. Sure, hes a role model. Right now hed much rather be the Rams description of "designated pass rusher." "I will always support equality, period," Sam said. "But my job is to focus on football and help this team win a championship." The appearance of perhaps the most famous seventh-round pick in NFL history attracted a massive amount of people. A half-dozen TV trucks lined a crammed parking lot at Rams Park, an hour before the teams two first-round picks were due at the podium. About 80 media members attended the news conferences. Three days earlier when the Rams chose Sam with the No. 249 overall pick, the media contingent was in single digits. "Theres some energy here," general manager Les Snead said with a smile between rounds of interviews. "But I dont think this is a circus. This deserves attention, but well get it over and well get to work." Sam shared the dais with five other players taken in the sixth and seventh rounds Saturday as the draft came to a close.dddddddddddd Snead joked that Tennessee State centre Demetrius Rhaney, taken one pick after Sam at 250th overall, should get the first question after it got lost in the hubbub Saturday. "Im not sure anybody knows we drafted Demetrius," Snead said, adding that he hoped someday that pick 249 will someday be a footnote in sports history, and not such a big deal. For Sams subsequent solo session with reporters, he was flanked by Fisher and Snead, with Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff joining the group. Everyone seemed eager to embrace Sam. Second-round pick Lamarcus Joyner, a cornerback from Florida State, has never had an openly gay teammate. He applauded Sams decision. "Hes a courageous young man," Joyner said. "Hes a brave young man that we need in this organization." The teams two first-round picks were first to the podium. Offensive tackle Greg Robinson, chosen second overall, sported a bow tie. Both got their due. Both welcomed Sam to the family. Robinson and Sam did a TV commercial together for a credit card company. Aaron Donald met Sam at ceremonies for the Lombardi and Nagurski awards. "Hes a cool guy," Donald said. "Hes a football player, he works his butt off and thats what you want. You want playmakers around you and hes a playmaker. Third-round pick Tre Mason, a running back from Auburn, said Sam was a "man of his own and hes entitled to do that." "Were a team and hes also a family member to me now." Sam will put on the pads later in the week when the team holds a three-day rookie orientation, much, if not all of it, closed to the media. The Rams drafted Sam even though they didnt need help at defensive end, where they have a pair of first-round picks as starters. Robert Quinn was second in the NFL with 19 sacks last season and Chris Long has been a standout since getting chosen second overall in 2008. But the Rams were well-stocked with picks, finishing with 11 selections, putting them in unique position to make history. "Shortly before we got to our pick, Michaels value as a football player was off the charts," Fisher said. "He has an opportunity now to come in and compete to try to make our team." Sam realizes its up to him to make the most of this chance, and he bristles at the naysayers who contend hes in the NFL only because he came out. "Will I make the cut?" he said, repeating a question. "You want to find out in a couple months, huh?" ' ' '
