... he’s showing his maturity as a player. “. Ihedigbo, who left Detroit last offseason after his contract wasn’t renewed, has maintained a relationship with a number of players on the roster. From afar, he’s been impressed with the way Stafford has filled the leadership void and feels we still haven’t seen the quarterback’s best years. “Being the true alpha of that team and everyone following his lead was great for him,” Ihedigbo said. “Next year he’s going to be even more lights out. I think he’s going to get better and better and the best has yet to be seen with that guy.”. As for Ihedigbo, he struggled to find a new home last season.

... 52. We have the answers. Here are the five things the 2017 Cowboys need to do to be playing in Minneapolis next February. 1. Have good health. Every year this is No. 1 for me. One of the biggest reasons for the Cowboys' success in 2014 and 2016 was because of their good fortune in the health department, particularly on offense. Defensively, Sean Lee has finally reached his potential because he's been healthy the last two seasons. Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, etc. are going to deal with injuries, but they need to avoid the major setback that sidelines for a long period of time.

Let's look at some of them. In both cases, the game was in Houston, the Patriots were 16-2 (including the playoffs), they were shut out by the Bills during the season (in both cases that was the first loss of the season, too) and in both cases they hadn't won a Super Bowl in two whole years. 2003 Patriots.

How To Play Super Bowl Squares

... always other ways to spice up the big game. A simple grid and a little bit of money could be all you need to keep things interesting for even the least enthusiastic football fan.

Yes, Coldplay was technically the headliner, but Beyoncé stole the biggest TV event of the year with the just-dropped "Formation," the performance of which generated massive pushback from people who believed her statement was anti-police. 1. Prince (2007). Only Prince would launch his Super Bowl show with an extremely phallic male-symbol stage jutting down the field, a powder-blue suit on his body, and a bandana on his head.
