Argumentative Essay On Green Bay Packers

Improved Essays
If you picked the Denver Broncos over the Green Bay Packers from a list of NFL best bets, you surely reaped the benefits. While the Broncos may not have been NFL consensus picks, they certainly had its fair share of prognosticators and gamblers lining up to bet that side and surprisingly, it wasn't even close.

On a cool night at Sports Authority Field in Denver, Colorado, the biggest game of this young NFL season was played between two undefeated titans with designs on representing its respective conferences in the Super Bowl. The host Denver Broncos and visitors the Green Bay Packers both entered the game at 6-0, knowing one team would leave with its first loss of the season.

By the time the gun sounded signaling the end of the game, the Broncos were ahead on the scoreboard 29-10 and sitting at 7-0 on the season as the Packers dropped to 6-1. However, the game's real story had more to do with the way the Broncos totally dominated one of the very best teams in the NFL on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense.

In what was clearly the worst game of his career, Rodgers completed 14 of 22 passes for 77 yards, yes 77 yards (net 50), and no touchdowns. All night long, the Broncos defense was up in his grill, forcing him out of the pocket while the secondary kept his receivers covered like snow on the mountains of Aspen, Colorado.

    Cam Newton's Football

    In football the money quarter is the 4th it's when heroes are made or goats to blame. Sunday quarterback Cam Newton engineered two touchdowns in the final four minutes to seal this victory. Put it in perspective, Newton was 12 for 15 162 yards and the game-winning strike to tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left. My favorite part about this whole thing is the fact that Newton is staying in the pocket looking downfield and trusting his wide receivers not just using his legs to burn defenses. It's so much fun to see his maturity and football IQ continuing to rise every game he threw some absolute frozen ropes where only our receivers could catch them.…

Without visual and audio elements I felt I had trouble communicating with the reader. My remediation into a prezi uses a combination of videos and images to present the consequences of playing football. To support my claims I use evidence from expert researchers and certified doctors.…
