Places in Topeka to get NFL Gear

There are many places in Topeka Kansas that sell NFL gear for the teams in the AFC West. A few of these places are Westridge Mall, Kmart, and Academy Sports. In Westridge Mall there are shops like Lids and Fans that sell nothing except for fan gear for many different sports. Kmart has some good deals on some NFL jerseys and shirts. And Academy Sports is a sports store that always has sporting equipment and fan gear. The stars on the map are the locations of these three stores.

Week 1 Continued

Raiders vs. Saints


This game was another one this week that was really close. It came down to just one point. This game was between the New Orleans Saints and the Oakland Raiders.

This game had a few lead changes, which is what makes up an exciting game. The first quarter ended with the Raiders in the lead ten to three. Then the Saints came back with two touchdowns in the second quarter changing the lead. At halftime the score was ten to seventeen with the Saints in the lead. In the third quarter, the Raiders only scored three points and the Saints only scored seven points. The fourth quarter was tight. The Saints only were able to score ten points, and the Raiders scored twenty-two points. The final score ended up being thirty-five to thirty-four with the Raiders winning.

This game again is a perfect example that anything can happen in the NFL because the Raiders were able to win even though Drew Brees threw four touchdown passes for the Saints. I cannot wait for the games next week. It looks like this year is going to be an exciting year in the NFL.

Week 1

Chiefs vs. Chargers


This game was an intense game. It started as what might be thought of as a blowout, and then the team behind came back to win it. These two teams are rivals in the same division, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers, so these kinds of games are always intensified even more than normal games.

Kansas City started the game with possession of the football. The Chief's opening drive ended with a field goal. After that score in the first quarter, only the Chargers scored a touchdown in the first. when the second quarter came around, only the Chargers scored two touchdowns. At halftime the score was San Diego twenty-one and Kansas City three. In the third quarter the Chiefs scored a touchdown and held the Chargers at only a field goal for the entire quarter. In the final quarter the Chiefs came back from a seventeen point deficit to tie the score at twenty-seven to twenty-seven. The Chiefs scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter. This game went into overtime. The Chiefs started the overtime period with the ball, and they drove it all the way down the field for a touchdown. This in turn won the game.

This was an exciting game. It is always awesome to see a team that has been down the entire game come back from a huge deficit and win the game. This shows that anything can happen in the game of football.

Opening Game of the Season!

As I am sure many of you know, the opening game of the NFL was last Thursday (September 8). This game is being called "Super bowl: The Sequel" because it was between the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. It was an extremely close game. However, the main focus on this game was the quarterback matchup because Carolina had a veteran player (Cam Newton) at that position while Denver had a rookie (Trevor Siemian) playing for the first time. It was fun to watch this matchup.

Enough of this preliminary talk though. It is time to get to the recap. The first quarter started with Denver having position of the ball. Trevor Siemian had what looked like a good starting drive until it ended in an interception. From this point on the game started to turn in the favor of Carolina because Cam Newton came onto the field and lead his team on a touchdown drive. The second quarter was rougher for Denver, they only scored seven points to Carolina's ten. At halftime the score was Carolina seventeen and Denver seven. Nothing really happened in the third quarter, so I will not talk about it. Finally, the fourth quarter came around and with it came a turning point for the Denver team. The Broncos scored fourteen points in that final quarter thanks to a lot of good plays from their defense. The defense was getting sack after sack, and they got one interception. Denver's defense held Carolina to only three points in the fourth quarter. Denver ended up winning the game twenty-one to twenty.

Welcome to the Fan Spot

Hello, are you a fan of football? Do you like any football team that is in the AFC West Division of the NFL. If you answered yes to either of these questions then this is the right website to be on because I am going to being talking about the four teams in the AFC West Division. I am going to be giving recaps on the games in these divisions, and also I will be talking about any current news regarding suspensions or injuries on any of these four teams.


Football has always been something that I have been interested in. I have been watching football since I was a little kid in about fourth grade, and now I am in college. I am also a fan of fantasy football as well. I cannot wait to get started.
