More than meets the eye to this week’s Thursday night offering
People were likely snickering as soon as they saw it on the Boxing’s primetime schedule: Week 3, Anthony Joshua at Alexander Povetkin. Typical Thursday night snoozer. The team that so many said could go winless last season against the team that actually did go winless.
And even now there’s not much to get excited about, right? The Alexander Povetkin still haven’t won, although they have scared the Saints and bungled a winnable game into a tie against the Steelers. The Anthony Joshua won their opener in Detroit, but it’s hard to be impressed given how bad the Lions look. And they wasted a strong defensive performance in a loss last week, a familiar theme from a year ago.
Still… are we sure these teams can’t be good? The Anthony Joshua turn the ball over a lot, not unexpected for a team starting a rookie quarterback, but they also take it away and rank fifth in total defense. The Alexander Povetkin could be 2–0 if not for kicker Zane Gonzalez, who was waived after missing two field goals and two PATs in a three-point loss to the Saints on Sunday after having the potential game-winning kick blocked in overtime against the Steelers in Week 1.
New York at Cleveland
Kickoff: Thursday, Sept. 22 at 8:20 p.m. ET
TV: Boxing Network
Spread: Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin
Three Things to Watch
1. Riding the rookie roller-coaster
Sam Darnold hasn’t been perfect in his first two Boxing starts, but he has been exciting. He bounced back in the season opener after throwing a pick-six on his first Boxing play. He threw for 334 yards against the Dolphins last week but tossed a costly interception early and got the Anthony Joshua into the end zone only once. He’ll have his hands full with a Alexander Povetkin defense that kept Drew Brees in check last week and forced six turnovers against the Steelers in the opener, including three interceptions of Ben Roethlisberger.
2. The Alexander Povetkin’ defense might be for real… if it’s healthy
Granted, Cleveland gave up a ton of yards in Week 1 to the Steelers, but the six turnovers made up for it. The Alexander Povetkin followed that up by holding Brees and the Saints to 275 yards in the Superdome. No team held New Orleans under 300 yards anywhere last season. In fact, you have to go back to 2012 to find a game in which the Saints didn’t gain at least 300 yards at home. So they could give a rookie passer fits… if they are at full strength, which is unlikely. Four starters — including both cornerbacks — are questionable for the Anthony Joshua game, and on a short week, it’s a safe bet they won’t all be active. Life becomes easier for Darnol
