Heritage CARLY WEBER/Northern Iowan

“Move your hips!” was a frequent directive given to Latino dance learners by Andrew Jessip, senior global studies major, at Baila Conmigo on Monday night. It was the first event to kick off Latino Heritage Week. Latino Heritage Week is sponsored by the Center for Multicultural Education with support in planning and implementation from UNIDOS, Panthers for DREAM Iowa, The Brothers of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc. (UNI Colony) and The Potential Candidates of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. UNIDOS, formerly known as the Hispanic Latino Student Union (HSLU), has a changed name to reflect a new vision for
the organization on campus. “UNIDOS means United in English. We are all a united UNI community, and the name reflects that,” said Juan Hernandez, senior TESOL Spanish major and President of The Brothers of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc. Hernandez was at the kickoff for the week of events on Monday afternoon. “It was a flash mob,” Hernandez said. “We ran down the Maucker stairs with flags representing all Latin American countries to grab everyone’s attention.” The attention-grabbing seemed to be successful, as Baila Conmigo, Monday night’s event, saw an attendance of about 75 people. Attendees learned a variety of Latin dances, including the salsa, cumbia and bachata. Jen Arnold, junior psychology major, saw the event as a fun

step outside her comfort zone. “It’s been very lively and interesting because people don’t learn dancing in this environment,” Arnold said. “But we’re all making it together.” Natalia Tinoco, senior global studies major, taught the salsa, a dance she’s known all her life. See LATINO, page 4

The UNI women’s soccer team won in overtime against the Illinois State Redbirds. Junior Brynell Yount scored the lone goal in overtime to lead the Panthers to a stunning overtime win at home. Sophomore forward Sydney Hayden assisted Yount with the 11th goal of her UNI career. Yount has played and started in seven games this season and has taken 19 shots, 10 of them being goal attempts, four of them resulting in points on the board.
Out of 10 matches this season, the women’s soccer team has scored 18 goals breaking the school’s record for most goals in a 10 game stretch. The Panthers had four corner kicks and eight fouls. One yellow card was issued to Sarah Brandt in the 81st minute. Goalkeeper Jami Reichenberger leads the MVC conference with most shutouts this season and ended the game with three saves. As the women’s soccer team pushes forward with a 8-1-1 record, they look to take on the Evansville Purple Aces at home on Sept. 30th. The following weekend they will play on the Viterbo Hawks at home.

UNI student arrested for burglary, possession JACOB MADDEN News Editor
This past Monday, Shane Michael Ferrari, 23, was arrested on charges of third degree burglary and possession of marijuana. According to police reports, Ferrari allegedly broke into two vehicles near 2301 Franklin Street in Cedar Falls. He is a junior biology major at UNI. The alleged stolen property included a black Apple iPad, wireless headphones, a Dr. Dre CD, a bottle of cologne and some chargers. One of the victims was able to use a phone app to locate his iPad, which led police to 2300 Washington Street, Ferrari’s residence. The iPad was found in a backpack in the residence. The other property was also found in and around the residence. Ferrari allegedly admitted to “probably” breaking into the vehicles and steal-

According to the police report, Ferrari stated that he was drinking while taking prescribed medication for Bipolar disorder which, according to Ferrari, has caused him to blackout in the past. During these blackouts, Ferrari reportedly said he couldn’t remember anything, according to the police report. He allegedly told police that he has stolen property during blackouts in the past.

Despite renovations, students feel unsafe AMELIA DUAX Staff Writer
Over the summer of 2017, numerous changes were made to UNI’s campus, and some changes are currently right under students’ feet. Several underground projects were completed to help increase the functionality of the drainage system and the lighting of campus at night. Some of the renovations also targeted the issue of safety on campus. Michael Zwanziger, the director of the Physical Plant Administration at UNI, was involved in the projects and was able to give more information on the specific renovations completed over the summer. According to Zwanziger, in order to complete the renovations on campus, the ground was torn up and sod was put in place to restore the site. However, there were complaints from students across campus that claimed the new sprinkler systems were pointed at building walls and would occasionally spray students. Zwanziger explained the reasoning behind the placement of the sprinklers. “Much of the turf disturbance was immediately next to buildings,” Zwanziger said. “When sod gets installed,
it needs significant water to establish its root structure. Once the roots get established, the watering will discontinue.” Zwanziger also said that there are large areas of sod that need to be adequately covered with water, therefore the sprinklers temporarily need to be aimed at the sodded areas, which consequently includes the building walls and sidewalks. He said the past few months have been unusually dry, which has increased the need for watering the fresh sod. Occasionally, the sprinkler heads will get hit and moved accidentally, which requires manual readjustment. As for the lighting on campus, new streetlamps have been installed throughout campus. Some students at UNI had concerns about the lighting at night before the renovations. Despite the installation of the new lamps, a few students still feel that campus safety is an issue. Danielle Templeton, a junior majoring in elementary education at UNI, gave her opinion on the improved lighting on campus. “The ineffective lighting on campus can make for an uncomfortable walk during the
night,” Templeton said. “The faulty lights did affect how I felt on campus. I think working lights very well make some women more comfortable on campus at night.” However, Templeton still has doubts about campus safety. According to Templeton, while the higher quality of lighting may give women a better sense of confidence on campus, she doesn’t think women are actually any safer now than before the renovations. Another student with similar concerns was willing to share her view of the new light system. Nicole Valentine, a junior majoring in social work at UNI, said that as a freshman, she was taught how to stay safe on campus at night, and one of the big tips was to stay in well-lit areas. “When there’s not lit areas on your walk home, it felt uncomfortable,” Valentine said. “The more I was on campus, I got used to it, but it was very uncomfortable at the beginning and I’m sure it is for a lot of girls on campus.” Valentine said that while she approves of the renovated lights, she still feels that there is an issue with staying safe on campus at night. “I think the money is worth it, to mainly give people peace

tion of a brand-new marching band director. The marching band director position was filled by Justin Mertz, who previously taught for 12 years at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York as the director of athletic bands. He began working at UNI at the start of this academic year. “I really love how the faculty has welcomed me [and] the students have welcomed me,” Mertz said. “It just feels really good being on campus, and my wife and I really like Cedar Falls. We’re really happy to be new Iowans here in Cedar Falls, and so far, the place and the Midwest lifestyle agrees
with us.” Cole Malcolm, senior economics major and PMB trumpet section leader, believes the band is thriving under the new director. “I think the band is doing really well communicating and growing under new leadership,” Malcolm said. “I’m excited for what the band has in store moving forward. We’ve almost finished learning the Homecoming show, and we have a lot of exciting things ahead!” The band was previously under the direction of Danny Galyen for 10 years. Galyen recently accepted a new position at UNI as the Director of Bands and oversees all of the
bands in the School of Music. He is also now the conductor of the UNI Wind Ensemble, the top wind band at UNI. “It is a little strange to not be doing the marching band after doing it for 10 years,” Galyen said. “But the nice thing about my new position is that I can still have a relationship with [the band], and I can still come to their rehearsals and travel with them even though I’m not the director.” Galyen explained that the students knew that a new director would be coming over a year ago when they were told at marching band camp last fall.

Making the most of college Let me start off by saying this: Life is short, time is fleeting and the moments go by way too fast. We are all on a journey here at UNI. Each day is a different adventure, and every breath is a second chance to do something magical and extraordinary. I beg of you this one thing — don’t waste it. My friends like to make fun of me because I often bring up how it’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that we’ve already graduated high school. I’m now a senior in college. You can probably see the humor in that. When I first packed up my belongings to make the big move from San Antonio, Texas to Cedar Falls, Iowa to begin my college career, I was feeling all sorts of emotions. I was ecstatic, nervous, terrified, happy and so much more. I would soon begin the adventure that would define the man I’d become for the rest of my life. Before I knew it, I was
already going back home for summer. Then sophomore and junior year came and went, too. Now here I am, a 21-yearold starting to realize that there are some things that I regret. Still, even though there are some things that I wish I could change, I believe that everything happens for a reason and according to a plan. Slowly but surely, I’ve come to appreciate all those things… The good, the bad and the ugly. I’ve learned from my mistakes and have moved on, learning and growing because of them. No, I’m not regretting all of those bad things happening. What I am regretting are the chances I didn’t take, the opportunities I didn’t chase and the passions that I didn’t pursue. As I’m thinking of these things, I remember the “almosts.” I “almost” studied harder for that test. I “almost” went to that one event with my friends. I “almost” started that conversation. The “almosts” can sometimes feel infinite. But there’s good news: It’s not over. Wherever you are in your college career, whether that be a freshman, a senior or
anything in between, you still have moments to grasp and dreams to chase. My first two years at UNI weren’t spent as wisely as I’d like. I didn’t join many organizations, and I barely went to any events. I barely got to know my R.A.’s and my neighbors in the dorms. That’s something I definitely regret. Those are people who could’ve become great friends and possibly even professional contacts for the future. Before I even realized it, I started to learn that college, much like the rest of life, goes by faster than I ever imagined it would. That’s why this year, I’ve decided to go all in. I looked for clubs that fit my interests. I took up a leadership position in an organization I’m in. Now I’m proud to say that it’s hard to find time in my busy schedule. Whether your interests are in film-making, music, video games, sports, books or anything else, UNI most likely has it. Try a club out — if it’s not right for you, you don’t have to stay in it! Also, guess what? The library is actually amazing! Surprising, right? I want to be a screenwriter, so I decided one day after class to go see
if the library has anything on screenwriting or filmmaking in general. I was in absolute awe when I found all of the resources that the library had to offer. They had not only a vast selection of films, but they also have great books on the topic and everything in between. So, do yourself a favor and go to the library sometime. I bet that it’ll have something that will catch your eye. Another thing I’m learning: People want to talk to you!

Health and environmental benefits of veganism What is veganism? Veganism is a lifestyle of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. Having a vegan diet means not eating any animal products like honey, eggs, milk, oils or meat. Practicing veganism means buying products that have not been tested on ani-
mals, avoiding clothing from animals, not going to animal entertainment like zoos or circuses and other actions of that nature. A vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat, but still eats animal products like eggs, milk, butter, etc. I have been a vegetarian for about eight years, and I am currently transitioning to veganism. I am not a crazy vegan who yells or shames people for eating meat and animal products. Every group has loud voices that give a bad image for others. The point of my column is to share just some of my reasons for my lifestyle and to
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Opinion columnist Brenna Wolfe discusses veganism and some of the benefits that come with a vegan diet.
educate. This is not a call for everyone to be vegan; these are simply my thoughts and reasons. I am transitioning to veganism because of health, environmental and economic reasons. According to the American Dietetic Association, “appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate.” Not only can a plant-based diet give you all the nutrition you need, but it can also result in disease prevention. A vegan diet prevents heart disease because animal products are the main source of saturated fat and the only source of cholesterol in a diet (The Physicians Committee). A plant-based diet avoids these altogether and the increased amounts of fiber in a veg diet helps reduce cholesterol levels, given that animal products contain no fiber. Other great health benefits include reversing diabetes, lowering blood pressure and stopping the growth of cancer (Vegetarian Times). Physical benefits of a plantbased diet include weight loss,
more energy, healthy skin, longer life expectancy and reduced body odor (PETA). If the health benefits are not enough, the environmental advantages are incredible. According to One Green Planet, the livestock sector is the top contributor to global warming at 18 percent (more than the entire transportation sector at 13 percent). How is that possible? Well, the byproducts of livestock (farts) are 51 percent of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. The amount of water that animals need is huge. Animal agriculture is responsible for 80 percent of all U.S. water consumption (One Green Planet). That means that it takes 660 gallons of water to produce one hamburger, 880 gallons to produce one gallon of milk and 1,799 gallons to produce one pound of beef (LA Times). But aren’t plant-based diets expensive? Well, if you buy the fancy meat substitutes, yes it can be pricey. However, if you stick to canned or frozen fruits and vegetables, the diet is very inexpensive. You get more food per dol-
lar in a plant-based diet than a meat-based diet. I am financially independent, and I can afford a plant-based diet that includes pricey meat substitutes and frozen plants. But what about protein? Believe it or not, there is protein in plant foods! Beans, nuts, seeds, tempeh, quinoa, soy and more are great sources of protein. Fun fact: 100 calories of broccoli has 11.1 grams of protein while 100 calories of beef has 6.4 grams of protein. You may be thinking, so what? It’s not like one person is going to make a difference. Well actually, one vegan saves 1100 gallons of water, 30 square feet of forest, 45 pounds of grain, and one animal’s life every single day (Commons Dreams). A plant-based diet produces 50 percent less carbon dioxide, uses 1/13th of the amount of water, and 1/18th of the amount of land for their food (Cowspiracy). I encourage everyone to take the steps towards a plantbased diet. One less piece of meat every day is not only great for the environment, but it’s great for your health.

CONCERT REVIEW
School of Music Benefit Concert SHELBY WELSCH Theater and Event Critic
The 36th Annual Scholarship Benefit Concert, hosted by the UNI School of Music, was a spectacular celebration of the current successes of students and faculty in the music program at UNI, but also acknowledged the accomplishments of UNI’s loyal alumni. The concert was held last Friday, Sept. 22, in the Great Hall of the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC). Although I am already quite familiar with the distinguished music program that we have at this school, performances by our Northern Iowan Wind Ensemble, Northern Iowa Symphony Orchestra, UNI choral groups and other small ensembles absolutely blew me away (no pun intended) on Friday night. One thing that I was not expecting when I stepped into the colossal doors of the very
appropriately named Great Hall was to be serenaded by a couple of successful UNI alumni flutists. Rebecca Johnson and Nicole Molumby graduated from UNI several years ago and have since traveled all across the country performing and teaching. The pair played two gorgeous pieces to near perfection. The first piece, “Maya,” composed by Ian Clarke, was a slow, meditative piece that I believe was written to soothe your soul and make the hairs stand up on your arms. It was an experience anyone would be lucky to witness. The second song, “Trio,” by Blaz Puchihar, was more quickpaced and boasted a singsongy “flute-off ” duet pattern, but was just as lovely as the first song. Another noteworthy performance was by our very own Northern Iowa Symphony Orchestra and the UNI Singers. This performance was very special, because the composer, UNI music faculty

The 36th Annual Scholarship Benefit Concert was held on Friday, Sept. 22 in the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center featuring music performed by both current students and faculty in the UNI School of Music.
NI theater and event critic Shelby Welsch said the UNI School of Music concert was “super fun” to watch.
Nancy Hill Cobb, was able to attend the concert and explain why she wrote the piece. She explained that the piece was inspired by the Oklahoma City bombing that took place 40 miles away from her home in Oklahoma back in 1994 when she worked at Oklahoma Baptist University. Cobb discussed how she couldn’t believe that somebody could possess enough hate in their heart to perform such a heartless and malicious act. With the combination of the colorful array of instruments in the symphony and the powerful and dazzling sound of the UNI Singers choir, I was told a beautiful story through song that reminded me that although we live in a world where terrible things happen, there is still so much good that gets under-
appreciated. In short, every single person in this world has the power to make a change for the better. Although many of the performances were incredibly touching and emotional, some of them were just downright goofy. One of my favorites was a piece called “Dead Elvis” by Michael Daugherty, in which faculty member Cayla Bellamy dressed up as a fine-looking Elvis and jammed out on her bassoon alongside her music faculty buddies. It was super fun to watch and showed that “orchestra music” can definitely be fun to play and listen to. I honestly had such a good time just watching a bunch of well-seasoned musicians who have literally been playing their instruments for more than half of their lives kick off
their shoes and get down and dirty with the music. When the musicians are having fun, the audience is going to have fun too — hands down. Although going to the “symphony” isn’t something a lot of college students see as a fun time on a Friday night, I had a great time going on an emotional rollercoaster with all the ensembles that performed at the 36th Annual Scholarship Benefit Concert. Such amazing talents come out of our very own university, and I think that’s something we should all be proud of. If anybody is looking for something cool and different to do on their weekends off, go to one of the UNI School of Music events; you will not regret it.
sentiment. Kimberly Garcia Aguilar, senior elementary education major said, “This week makes me feel included and represented.” For Hernandez, this week is a celebration. “To me, this means being proud of where I come from and my neighbors,” Hernandez said. “It’s about celebrating who I am instead of forgetting where my family comes from.”
Given last year’s election, Hernandez feels building the Latino community at UNI is imperative. “Around the election cycle I didn’t feel welcome,” Hernandez said. “We’re planning these events to show that we’re here, and if you felt like I did, you have this community and people who care about your culture.” This week’s events were designed to represent Latino students’ culture and iden-
tities as well as discuss the issues facing the Latino community. “We wanted to be broad and make sure we included all Latin American identities,” Hernandez said. “We wanted to address issues that face other Latinos [sic]. A lot of times someone from El Salvador or Honduras can be classified as Mexican because of the whole immigration issue, so the second day we’re talking about identity and what it means to be Latino and/or an immigrant.” Hernandez urges students to make it to the Latino Showcase tonight to get an in-depth view of Latino culture. “There will be dressing up in traditional costumes, a duet, Mariachi, other acts and tajin,” Hernandez said. “The showcase will have the talents of students here at home.” Hernandez hopes the stu-
dent body will have fun at the events, but also learn. “I hope people get informed and understand more about Latino,” Hernandez said. “We all have different backgrounds. We have people from El Salvador, Colombia, Mexico and Panama that put in ideas to make these events inclusive of Latino culture.” Creators of the Heritage Week hoped to create events close to campus and to bring all students in. “The events are open to everyone. As long as you have a passion for Latino culture, show up and have some fun,” Hernandez said. Other events this week included a documentary viewing of “Hate Rising” with empanadas that took place yesterday, as well as tonight’s Latino Heritage Showcase.

UNI Museum Herb Hake exhibit ANNA FLANDERS Staff Writer
The UNI Museum at Rod Library opened its Right Side Up: The Life and Art of Herb Hake exhibit on Sunday, Sept. 24. Herb Hake’s artwork, radio broadcasts and television episodes were displayed, and personal stories from his former colleagues were shared. Nathan Arndt, the assistant director and chief curator at the UNI Museum explained how Herb Hake came up during a discussion between the UNI Museum and the Cedar Falls Author Festival. According to Arndt, Hake is credited with five books but also contributed artwork and writing to numerous others. “[I was] thinking about people at UNI that made a difference, and one of the most overlooked ones—I feel—was Herb Hake,” Arndt said. When Arndt suggested a Hake exhibit, the library quickly got behind the idea. According to Arndt, Hake is often remembered for his broadcast work. Herb was a radio pioneer, known for “Behind the Headlines” and “Landmarks in Iowa History.” But, as the exhibit shows,

Herb Hake was an artist, radio broadcaster, cartoonist and UNI professor. The Herb Hake exhibit was put together by the UNI Museum.
Herb was also an artist. Piece after piece displays Hake’s unique caricature spin on influential leaders. Half of the exhibit focused on Iowa history. Among these is a drawing of Iowa’s first governor, Ansel Briggs, depicted as the back of a head. The other half of the art exhibit focused on Cedar Falls, including UNI presidents. Presidents James C. Gilchrist, James W. Maucker, Homer H. Seerley, John J. Kamerick, Malcolm P. Price and Orval R. Latham were displayed. UNI’s current president Mark Nook was drawn by UNI senior Emily Schroeder, who attempted to imitate Hake’s style.

Marching band camp is held during the week before classes begin and is an opportunity for the students in the program to begin learning the first show of the season and to get to know one another. Galyen said he was pleased with how well both Mertz and the students handled the transition, saying that it couldn’t have been smoother. “The nice thing is that Mr. Mertz wants to help them to keep all their traditions and to learn the way that they do things and help them to get to the next level,” Galyen said. “I think it’s going really well. It’s been a great experience for the students and for
Mr. Mertz — both to be able to figure each other out and learn from each other and start to take the band on its next chapter.” “Getting used to the different personality and work ethic from our new director during rehearsals is a change,” said Dan Benson, senior drum major. “I still find myself wanting to revert back to how things were last year […] It’s hard sometimes to not miss Dr. Galyen, but we couldn’t be happier to have Mr. Mertz here with us. And we know that the future of the Panther Marching Band is in good and more than capable hands.” “As the season has been progressing, I think everyone is continuing to adjust to the change,” said Tia Heien,
thing that I’m very impressed about this particular display [. . .] is that Herb’s one of those people who was clearly a thought leader and helped move thought along,” Nook said. “But he didn’t hold a leadership position, a leadership title.” Doug Vernier, who worked under Hake at UNI while Hake was doing “Behind the Headlines,” was the first keynote speaker. According to Vernier, the lasting impression of Hake prompted him to nominate Hake for inclusion in the Iowa Broadcaster’s Hall of Fall. “What better person with all of his work [. . .] with the films, with the chalk talks, with his radio [to be nominated]?’ He’s been a broadcaster that’s really been a part of Iowa’s history and he’s the perfect person,” Vernier said. After Hake was inducted into the hall of fame, Vernier said he got a call from Herb Hake. “[Hake] said, ‘I’d like to draw you’,” Vernier explained. “I think it was Herb’s way of saying ‘Thank you very much for doing this’ . . .

They stay in their seats at half time and watch them. It’s amazing.” “PMB and the band program here at UNI is very, very strong, and that shows in not just how the groups perform, but the attitude of

Who’s disrespecting who when athletes kneel? JOEL WAUTERS Sports Writer
“Get that son of a b-- off the field right now. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!” So said President Donald Trump last Friday at a political rally in Alabama. Trump was discussing professional athletes sitting or kneeling during the national anthem. A little over one year ago, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a seat during the national anthem to protest racial injustice in the United States. Thirteen months later, his message carries on as NFL fans saw scores of players and coaches participate in similar style protests throughout week three. While many players and coaches knelt or stood with arms interlocked on the sideline, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks waited together in the locker room before taking the field. The president’s comments didn’t just influence play-

ers in the National Football League. Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell became the first MLB player to take a knee in protest. In the NBA, Trump rescinded his invitation to the NBA champion Golden State Warriors after guard Steph Curry announced he would not go to the White House if the team was invited. Mixing politics with sports can be a difficult issue to examine. Is kneeling
or sitting for the national anthem disrespectful, or is it a demonstration of the American people’s ability to exercise their freedom of speech and expression? “It’s definitely within their right to do it,” said senior economics major Nick Meirick. “Nobody really intended for it to be offensive. Colin Kaepernick did it first, and he said he didn’t intend to offend soldiers and police officers or anything
like that. He just wanted to bring attention to the topic of racial justice.” While many support the issue being protested, some, like junior music education major Logan Mohr, an avid sports fan, feel it can be done differently. “I think that freedom of speech is a thing, it’s a right for everybody,” Mohr said. “But I feel like there’s a different way to get the point they’re trying to get across.”
The first amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that “congress shall make no law…prohibiting the free exercise thereof…the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Many who face the U.S. flag at sporting events choose to pay tribute and honor those who have fought and died protecting our nation. But at the same time, what may be forgotten is that they are also fighting for the rights guaranteed to all citizens of the U.S. In this case, it is the freedom to express oneself and the right to peacefully protest the issues that one feels the need to address. As the weeks go on, protests are sure to continue. The NFL season has just begun, while baseball’s season is coming to a close. With the NBA and NHL seasons just around the corner, it will be interesting to see if Kaepernick’s movement will carry on into the winter.

NFL week three: overtime, blowouts, field goals, oh my! DYLAN PADY
Sports Editor
Week three of the National Football League featured a handful of great matchups across the entire league. There was an overtime effort in Chicago as well as Green Bay a 44-7 blowout in England and a rookie kicked a 61-yard game-winning field goal in Philadelphia. First, the Chicago Bears hosted an undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers team at Soldier Field. Chicago lost their first two games to the Falcons and the Buccaneers. The Bears scored once in the first quarter and held the Steelers to zero points until seven minutes into the second quarter, when Ben Roethlisberger found Antonio Brown in the end zone on an easy seven-yard pass. The Bears led 14-7 and, with 30 seconds left in the half, blocked a Steelers field goal that just so happened to land in the
hands of cornerback Marcus Cooper. Cooper saw nothing but open field and was a good 15 yards ahead of any defenders. He began to slow down just before scoring and was stripped of the ball in the end zone, resulting in a fumble on the one-yard line after it was intentionally batted away. The Bears had to settle for a field goal of their own instead of a touchdown. Chicago then went completely scoreless in the second half, allowing a one-yard touchdown run by Le’veon Bell, followed by a Pittsburgh field goal to tie the game 17-17. Tarik Cohen almost had a 73-yard touchdown run on just the second down of overtime, but was ruled out of bounds after a gain of 36 yards. Jordan Howard ran the ball for 18 yards, then finished off the Steelers with a 19-yard footrace to the left side into the end zone. This was Chicago’s first win

of the season and Pittsburgh’s first loss. Mike Glennon threw for 100 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Howard had 138 rushing yards on 23 attempts with two touchdowns. Roethlisberger had 235 yards with one touchdown, and Brown had 110 receiving yards with 10 receptions. Brown had one touchdown as well. Aaron Rodgers looked to defend Lambeau Field in Green Bay against a defeated Cincinnati Bengals team. Surprisingly, Andy Dalton and his offense scored 21 in the first half compared to the Packers’ 7 points. Rodgers threw a 75-yard pick six just before halftime, but only took five minutes in the third to put something together offensively. Rodgers found Jordy Nelson in the end zone on a oneyard pass to narrow the deficit. Besides Rodgers’ pass to Nelson, no other scoring occurred during the third quarter. The fourth consisted of a field goal from each team, as well as another three-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Nelson that sent the game into overtime. The Packers held the Bengals offense and forced them to punt, then 11-year veteran Mason Crosby drilled a 27-yard field goal that sent Packer fans everywhere home with a smile on their face. Rodgers completed 28 of his 42 passes, resulting in 313 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Wembley Stadium in London opened in 2007 after the original was demolished throughout
all of 2002 and 2003. Football fans in London were able to witness a very one-sided affair between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens. It started to feel like a game of Madden towards the end when the Jaguars ran the score up 44-7. Blake Bortles completed 20 of his 31 attempts, threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Jacksonville scored 23 in the first half and 21 in the second. Baltimore was only able to score once in the fourth quarter after a six-yard touchdown pass from backup Ryan Mallett to Benjamin Watson. Joe Flacco threw two interceptions and 28 yards on eight completions before he was benched. Finally, the New York Giants traveled to the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia where a last quarter rally led by Eli Manning fell just short in what would have been their first win of the season. The Eagles scored 14 points in the second and third quarter, compared to the Giants who were not on the scoreboard until early in the fourth. Manning found Odell Beckham Junior (OBJ) on a 10-yard touchdown pass two minutes into the quarter, followed by another OBJ touchdown reception just four yards. After another good defense possession for the Giants, Manning hit Sterling Shepard, who was untouched for a 77-yard touchdown reception, as well as the lead. Their three scoring drives in the fourth quarter only took 4:10 off the clock. The Eagles

wouldn’t give it up that easily and punched the ball in the end zone, giving Corey Clement a 15-yard touchdown carry to tie the game 21-21. New York’s kicker, Aldrick Rosas, made a 41-yard field goal to take a three-point lead and with 56 seconds left, Philadelphia’s kicker, Jake Elliott matched him with a 46-yard field goal of his own. Keep in mind, Elliott is only 22 years old and this is his first season in the NFL. As time was about to expire, the Eagles put together a drive that landed them on the Giants’ 43-yard line. Elliott lined up and completed a 61-yard field goal before being carried off by the rest of his team to end the game.
