11/25/2013: WWE Survivor Series results, Ravens def. NY Jets, Cowboys def. NY Giants, more

Hello everyone. I hope all of you had a great weekend this weekend. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!

Bellator
Bellator 109 took place at the Sands Casino Events Center in Bethlehem, PA. Here are the results of the main card:
  • Terry Etim def. Patrick Cenoble via unanimous decision
  • Will Brooks def. Alexander Sarnavskiy via unanimous decision
  • Rick Hawn def. Ron Keslar via KO at Round 3
  • Alexander Shlemenko def. Doug Marshall via TKO at Round 1 to retain the Bellator Middleweight Championship


NFL
Yesterday, the New York Jets were in M&T Bank Stadium to face the Baltimore Ravens at the early game. It was an ugly affair as both sides played bad football, but the Jets played much worse as they lost the game 19-3. The flip-flopping has come to an end, but on the wrong end of it.

Later that day, the New York Giants hosted the Dallas Cowboys and it was an ugly affair for the Giants. Even though the Giants managed to tie the game in the 4th quarter, the Cowboys kicked a field goal to win the game 24-21 at the end of regulation.

An interesting stat to share is that since the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs returned from their bye week, they have been 0-2 after exceeding expectations in the first half.

Also, if the season ended today, who had a more disappointing season? The New York Jets or the New York Giants?

WWE

Here are the highlights:
NFL
Yesterday, the New York Jets returned to action as they came off a bye week, and they were completely rusty. Not only were they blown out by the Buffalo Bills, they are now the 1st team in NFL history to alternate wins and losses in the 1st 10 games. I don't understand why this team is flip-flopping. It has to stop or someone could get traded or fired. Meanwhile, the New York Giants hosted the Green Bay Packers in the 4:25 pm game, and the Giants won that game. I don't know how, but somehow they manage to win 4 straight games after starting 0-6.

WWE
Tonight on Monday Night Raw will have a Southern theme as "Raw goes Country". This will be the go-home show before the Survivor Series PPV. Here is a recap of last week:

 
 
That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week!
