Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton after fumbling ball twice: “Unacceptable”

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a co-star in Denver’s horrific 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. But his role in one of the worst defeats in league history painted a good picture of how bad of a day it was.Denver was already down 42-13 with 5:23 left in the third quarter, and desperately needed something to prevent the scoreboard from entering historically bad territory. That’s when quarterback Russell Wilson stepped into the pocket and threw to Sutton on a crossing route. The veteran wideout ran 29 yards down the sideline before Dolphins safety Jevon Holland punched the ball out of Sutton’s right arm and cornerback Kader Kohou recovered.It was Sutton’s second fumble of the day. Throw in a dropped touchdown pass in the back of the end zone, and the positives of an eight-catch, 91-yard performance quickly faded into the background.“Unacceptable,” Sutton said. “When carrying the ball, we have everyone’s dreams, goals and aspirations. I fumbled the ball...

It’s out of the woods now.The 12-time Grammy Award winner took advantage of an invitation from the All-Pro tight end to see the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Swift was decked out in red and white while watching alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna, from one of the glass-enclosed suites on a sun-splashed afternoon in Kansas City.Swift has always been reluctant to discuss her personal life in public, but rumors have been flying about the pop superstar and the football player. They began when Kelce said on his “New Heights” podcast that he was disappointed that he didn’t have the chance to meet Swift and gift her a friendship bracelet during her stop in Kansas City on her Eras Tour.Then, during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Kelce said: “I threw the ball in h...

California dialysis workers to go on strike over allegedly unfair labor practices

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

More than 500 dialysis workers across California are expected to go on strike this week over allegedly unfair labor practices at Satellite Healthcare and Fresenius Kidney Care clinics.Ninety-nine percent of workers voted to strike on Sept. 25 and 26 at clinics in cities like San Jose, Gilroy and Brentwood, citing concerns over management putting both dialysis clinic staff and patients at risk in order to increase profits, according to a press release from SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West. Workers are also expected to strike at locations in Southern California.“We spend more time with our patients and coworkers than our own families, and they know we are chronically understaffed and underpaid,” Manny Gonzalez, a certified hemodialysis technician at Fresenius Kidney Care Juniper Fontana said in a statement. “Fresenius is trying to keep us silent because they’re afraid of us standing together, and they know that our patients are supporting us in this fight.”The union alleged that in...

Quiet Berkeley neighborhood reels after stabbing spree

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

In a quiet Berkeley Hills neighborhood on Sunday morning, a strange sense of calm had descended on a pair of streets where, just a day prior, two women and a man were stabbed, one fatally.Homeowners walked their dogs around the block. A family with small children played in the front yard. An older woman watered her plants. On the surface, it was a morning like many others in the wooded enclave just a few blocks from Tilden Park. But for residents who knew the woman who died and her family, things felt far from normal.“I just don’t understand how this could ever happen,” said Mardi Sicular, the victim’s nextdoor neighbor on Overlook Road. “We’re just absolutely devastated. It’s so final.”Booking records show Berkeley police have a person in custody identified as Jonah Jeremiah Roper, an unemployed 36-year-old man. Roper, who has an extensive criminal record, is facing charges of attempted murder, elder abuse, vehicle theft, and child abuse. Police as of Sunday afternoon still had not...

Herbert, Chargers keep Vikings winless, pulling out a 28-24 victory sealed by late pick in end zone

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings again lacked the late-game touch that was so golden for them last season.Justin Herbert had the firm grip and the let-it-rip approach for the Los Angeles Chargers all game long.Herbert passed for 405 yards and three touchdowns and the Chargers kept Kirk Cousins out of the end zone twice in the last three minutes to preserve a wild 28-24 victory over the winless Vikings on Sunday.“There were just so many things in that game that happened that tested the patience of our team, the connection of our team,” coach Brandon Staley said. “All three phases just hung tough.”Kenneth Murray Jr. made the game-sealing interception in the end zone with 7 seconds left, snagging a ball that deflected off the chest of diving tight end T.J. Hockenson. On Minnesota’s previous possession, Michael Davis knocked down Cousins’ fourth-down throw to Justin Jefferson at the goal line.“It was a hard-fought win,” Herbert said. “Certainly not the way we d...

Jared Goff throws and runs for TDs, helping the Lions bounce back with a 20-6 win over Falcons

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Jared Goff faked a handoff, dropped back and lofted a pass to a stunningly open Sam LaPorta.Goff’s tiebreaking 45-yard touchdown pass to LaPorta early in the second quarter sent Detroit to a 20-6 victory over Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in a rebound performance for the Lions.“We had that play written up all week,” Goff said.Atlanta, somehow, seemed to miss LaPorta on the scouting report.The former Iowa star, drafted No. 34 overall, was the first NFL tight end to catch five passes in each of his first two games. He surpassed that production with eight receptions for 84 yards and his first score against the Falcons.LaPorta has 18 catches, the most by an NFL tight end through three games. The previous record was 17 receptions for Keith Jackson in 1988 for Philadelphia at the start of his three-time All-Pro career.“He’s a stud,” Goff said. “He has a great feel for the game. Great hands, obviously, and great speed.“The sky is the limit and hopefully I’ll play wit...

Atlanta Falcons baffled by offensive collapse in 20-6 loss to Detroit Lions

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons were confident they would be able to move the ball on the Detroit Lions.After a 20-6 loss, they still felt the same way.“It’s never a matter of another team beating you rather than you beating yourself,” Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder said. “There are a lot of times in our situation where we beat ourselves and don’t play to our full potential.”The Falcons averaged 24.5 points in season-opening wins against Carolina and Green Bay, thanks to 352 yards passing for Ridder and 303 yards from running backs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.None of that worked on Sunday at Ford Field.Ridder was 21 for 38 for 201 yards and took seven sacks for 62 yards. Robinson and Allgeier only managed 45 yards on 17 carries, and no one got into the end zone.“Give the Lions credit, because they took us out of our offensive rhythm and we never got it back,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. “They forced us to take a lot of negative plays early in drives, wh...

Anscombe kicks Wales into Rugby World Cup quarterfinals as Australia crushed

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:28 GMT

LYON, France (AP) — Wales became the first Rugby World Cup team to qualify for the quarterfinals on Sunday while virtually shutting the door on Australia’s hopes.The far more experienced Welsh won by a record 40-6 by expertly executing a low-risk, disciplined gameplan and crucifying Australian mistakes.Wales rope-a-doped the Wallabies.“We were clinical, controlled the game, we didn’t really give them anything,” Wales coach Warren Gatland said. “This team gets better and better and, with some confidence and momentum, we’re in a pretty good place now.”The Wallabies have never missed the quarterfinals but losing consecutive pool games for the first time in 36 years left their fate in the hands of their tiny Pacific neighbor Fiji, which upended them last week.Australia should win its last Pool C game against Portugal next weekend but it won’t matter if Fiji accounts for its remaining games against Georgia and Portugal. If so, the Fijians will follow Wales into the quar...
