Marcell Dareus is a Buffalo Beast

Marcell Dareus, the rookie nose tackle for the Buffalo Bills is making a strong case for himself to be named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the year.

With 7 games still left to play, Dareus has been a complete impact player on the Buffalo Bills' revitalized defense, seriously improving the level of play. The Alabama product has earned respect of offensive coordinators, and rightfully so, racking up 3.5 sacks and 26 tackles halfway through the season, sparking an anemic pass rush.

If this hulking monster only recently caught your attention, or if this is the first time you're hearing of him, here's a quick explanation as to why he is as good as he's been. ESPN's Sports Science broke down Dareus prior to the 2011 NFL Draft with a series of tests, shown below.

The surpassing of Ndamukong Suh in a particular test will shock you to the core. Just watch. You'll see.

David Nelson Hugs Girlfriend Kelsi Reich

Well here's an interesting sight that you certainly don't get on a daily basis in the NFL. Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Nelson scored a touchdown in the redzone during the second quarter, a standard operation.

What he did next, will be talked about for at least the rest of this week. Running all the way down to the Dallas Cowboys' sideline, Nelson ran up to his smokin' hot girlfriend, Dallas cheerleader Kelsi Reich.

After a decidedly awkward hug, Nelson plopped the game ball in the surprised bombshell's hands and trotted off to rejoin his teammates.

We're all for the expression of true love, but did Nelson stop to think that his stunt would put his hot WAG in some hot water? She didn't look too comfortable with the situation.

WE however, thought this was hilarious!

ENJOY!!

"Beast Mode" Rears its Head

On Saturday night, the only person as unhappy as the New Orleans Saints and their fans was Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix. Nix surely watched angrily from his couch, as the running back he traded away railroaded one of the NFL's more vaunted defenses for a 67-yard touchdown run, all but sealing one of the greatest postseason upsets of all time.

Lynch started off strong in the NFL with consecutive 1,000 yard seasons after being drafted number 12 overall by the Bills in 2007, citing being in "Beast Mode" during games as the reason for his success. However, the beast was tamed in 2009 when he ran into legal troubles and injuries, resulting in a meager 450 yard season on 125 carries.

The legal issues and slowed production caused Buddy Nix to trade him to the Seahawks 3 games into the 2010 season, where he again had a subpar year as the Seahawks went 7-9 and miraculously won their division. However, Beast Mode emerged once again with 3:37 to go in the Wild Card game against the heavily favored Saints. In a play designed to run the clock down, the Beast decided to break out of its cage. Trucking through linebackers and defensive linemen, Lynch roared into the secondary, tossing Tracy Porter with a powerful stiff arm and putting on a burst of speed to roll into the endzone, looking like the back everyone knew he was at Cal. The run caused such an uproar at Qwest field that a nearby seismic monitoring station registered it as a small earthquake.

The Seahawks can only hope that the Beast is here to stay as they travel to Chicago to face the 2-seed Bears. The fans, the coaches, the teammates, everyone wants to see that moment this week where the Beast will roar, and somewhere in Buffalo, I'm sure Buddy Nix is using a photo of C.J Spiller as a dartboard.
