Lions find new way to win vs. Jets, passing another test in push for playoffs
[ad_1] EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In the lower tunnels of MetLife Stadium, in the aftermath of a game this franchise has seen go the other way far too many times, Lions head coach Dan Campbell briefly strolled into the visiting locker room with a smirk on his face. By then, Campbell’s postgame media obligations had already been fulfilled. His speech to his team had already been delivered. A flight back home awaited. But first, a detour. Campbell was passing through to get from Point A to Point B, as his…
Read MoreThe Raptors’ season is teetering on disaster
[ad_1] TORONTO — Before Sunday night, Draymond Green had not hit three or more 3-pointers in a game since May 2021. Including the playoffs, that was a streak of 97 games. In the Warriors’ 126-110 win over the Raptors, Green broke that run. It took three possessions. Whether this is damning of the Raptors, losers of five in a row, is arguable. Letting the guy who wants to pass, above all else, shoot from deep isn’t a terrible plan. Raptors coach Nick Nurse said it was the plan to help…

[ad_1] HOUSTON — Mixed emotions can sometimes be accompanied by mixed messages. Inside the visitor’s locker room in NRG Stadium on Sunday after the Kansas City Chiefs 30-24 overtime win over the Houston Texans, the Chiefs went through a mini-celebration of sorts. Coach Andy Reid revealed to the Chiefs the crisp new ball cap they earned, the commemorative item after they clinched their seventh consecutive AFC West title.

[ad_1] DENVER — Justin Simmons has pondered the question more times than he cares to count during a career filled with brilliant individual performances but no postseason experience to show for it. In the final, cold month of a lost season, the All-Pro safety for the Broncos was asked this week, where does your motivation come from? “These next four weeks will tell a lot about your character as a player and as a person because you’re not playing for the playoffs,” he said. “That’s obviously out the window. It’s…

Read MoreGreenberg: Bears might not be learning to win, but they’re developing in losses
[ad_1] CHICAGO — As seventh consecutive losses go, this one could’ve been a lot worse for the Bears. And for their fans, the most painful thing about watching this game was probably if they took the Eagles -9.The pileup of injuries — four players left the game, including guard Teven Jenkins, who was carted off the field and went to a local hospital with a neck injury — prevent me from calling the Bears’ 25-20 defeat at the hands of the 13-1 Eagles a “good” loss. But other than that,…
Read MoreJets’ playoff hopes are dying after Lions loss, and missed opportunities are to blame
[ad_1] EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — C.J. Uzomah looked across the locker room and saw dozens of reporters surrounding Greg Zuerlein, the Jets kicker who had just missed a last-second field goal from 58 yards. Uzomah was not happy. He stomped his feet, angrily threw his uniform in the laundry bin and shouted for anyone to hear: “That’s bulls—. I think I might say something.” After he showered and sat down at his locker, he was still fuming. The Jets just lost another heartbreaker, 20-17, to the Lions in a game…

[ad_1] NEW ORLEANS — Desmond Ridder didn’t do anything to inject life into Atlanta’s offense or its season Sunday. It’s beginning to look like nothing can. The rookie quarterback’s first professional start ended with him completing 50 percent of his passes and failing to top 100 yards as the Falcons fell 21-18 to the New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome. It was the fifth time in six games Atlanta has failed to top 18 points and the fifth time in six games it has lost. Falcons coach Arthur Smith hoped…
