Landover - Matt Ryan had 419 yards passing and two touchdowns, as the Atlanta Falcons became the second road team to win on the opening day of Wild Card playoff action. In a much cleaner played game than the AFC affair earlier in the day. Washington in the end couldn't keep up with the Falcons firepower and saw their season come to an end in disappointing fashion. Atlanta will now get a trip to New Orleans to face the Saints next week.

Foxborough - Blocked kicks, Blocked punts, missed kicks, turnovers, the first Wild Card game of the season was full of excitement, if not sloppiness as the Tennessee Titans, led by Marcus Mariota outlasted the Patriots in the cold, to get a huge upset win over the Pats in the cold of Gillette Stadium, where very few visiting teams find success. Tennessee now gets a trip to a little warmer venue as they will face division foes the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional round.

Join us as we trace the footsteps of Patrick Vieira, the fierce French footballer, who led the Arsenal's invincibles and won the World Cup and European Championship with the France national team - as he starts his managerial journey in the European field. After his trans-Atlantic experience with NYFC in MLS, he joins OGC Nice, a club with ambitions of European football and upsetting the French football status quo.Is it the impossible dream or just the start which takes Vieira on to newer challenges across Europe?
The Orange will host the Cavaliers today in a game that should be easily winnable for Syracuse. The last two times that these teams met resulted in comfortable wins for the Orange, 22-0 in 2015 and 34-10 last year. The Cavaliers boast slightly below average offense and defense that should have trouble containing the high-powered Syracuse attack. The Orange don't look like they'll get a major test today but they do need to avoid throwing in the direction of Virginia defender Matt Jones who has already recorded 4 interceptions this year, proving to be a ball hawk. That being said, DeVito is one of the best decision makers in all of college football and should have no trouble leading his team to victory here today.

This game was much closer than most people expected that it would be. The Cavaliers came to play, forcing a whopping 5 turnovers from Syracuse and confusing their offense for most of the day. The game was within one score for most of the day, but Syracuse's defense did just enough to keep Virginia from being able to take control of the game. The Orange offense was simultaneously running smoothly and in disaster mode. They had little trouble moving the ball downfield through the air or the ground but an injury to starting HB Richard Patton and far too many turnovers led to a bad day overall. The defense was excellent in picking up the slack however. In what could have been a bad game they defended the pass very well for a second straight week and really kept Syracuse in this ball game. The defensive coordinator the past two years here at Syracuse deserves a lot of credit because there has not been much true talent on that side of the ball but they have held their own and proved to be a rather high-functioning unit. WR Matt Archie was the best player on offense today as he caught 10 passes for 141 yards, and WR Allen Rawlins caught 4 passes, 3 of them being touchdowns. After surviving the upset scare from Virginia, Syracuse will move on to play the Virginia Tech Hokies next week, a game that they will need to be hitting on all cylinders to win unlike today.
The Orange continue their tour with a stop in Louisville this week. Despite the vast difference in success this season, Syracuse has struggled to beat Louisville in the past two seasons. Last year, an 18th ranked Syracuse squad lost by three scores at home to the Cardinals, and you can bet that the memory is still in the minds of all of these Syracuse players. The Cardinals have only one win this year, but they boast an offense that should be able to do much more than that if given the opportunity today. Syracuse has been strong on defense in recent weeks but they will get a major test on the road today. The game shouldn't be a blowout but look for the Orange to get a comfortable win and remain perfect.

While Louisville managed to stay in the game in the first half, they began to stall on offense in the second and eventually fell out of the game. HB Colin Wilson was electric for the Cardinals but their passing game could not do enough damage to help sustain drives through the air when they fell behind. The Orange offense was barely slowed down by the Cardinals as Tommy DeVito accounted for 5 total touchdowns. FR HB Richard Patton continued his marvelous freshman campaign, topping 1000 all-purpose yards for the season, and scoring 3 receiving touchdowns. The offense has too many weapons to guard for an entire game, so defenses can only hope to contain them long enough to give their team a chance. The defense did not force any turnovers today but they held Louisville to 0/7 on third downs and only allowed 17 points to their explosive offense.
