LaMichael James darted 30 yards with a first quarter kickoff, scooted around right end for five yards, and dashed up the middle for eight in the 49’ers early possessions, but the team couldn’t get much going early, trailing 10-3 on the road after the Chiefs Quintin Demps returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown.
Ducks fly east: former Oregon staffer James Harris snapped this instagram pic of Ducks Will Murphy and Jeff Maehl warming up before the Eagles 14-9 win over Carolina Thursday night.
Jim Harbaugh’s squad rallied for four more field goals and gutted out a very Harbaugh-like 15-13 win, holding Kansas City to just 170 yards and 12 first downs. They held former 49’er and Utah Ute quarterback Alex Smith to 62 yards passing on 16 attempts.
For his night LMJ rushed 5 times for 17 yards, and returned two kicks for 53. He caught one pass but it went for a three-yard loss.
LeGarrette Blount of the Patriots ran wild last week against Chip Kelly’s Eagles, but last night in Foxboro Blount and the Patriot running game couldn’t get much going. The 247-pound bruiser managed just three carries for 10 yards after going over the century mark a week ago. Tom Brady shook off a midweek injury to toss 11-12 completions for 107 yards and a touchdown, however, and the Pats revolted to a 25-21 victory at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. They went for two after Brady’s first-quarter td strike, resulting in the odd final score.
Buffalo moved to 2-0 in the preseason with a 20-16 win over Minnesota. Neither Jairus Byrd or Kiko Alonso had a tackle in the game. Byrd is still in contract talks with the team.
Former Duck nemesis Terrelle Pryor was 1-5 passing for just 9 yards and sacked once in the Raiders 28-20 loss to New Orleans.
Ducks trivia note: today the Bills reached an injury settlement with defensive lineman Aaron Tipoti. Tipoti was the Cal Bear who did a famous injury dive against the Ducks in 2009.
Remarkably, Tipoti has succeeded in making injuries a career move.
