Denver’s run game has been solid but its red zone offense has fallen flat after the opening drive.Sean Keeler, sports columnist: Nathaniel Hackett still has no sense of time, and thank goodness. Given how the Washington game played out, nobody with a half a brain is gonna count any chickens yet. Hackett and Wilson might be impotent enough to let the Broncos steal this thing. Which is an achievement in and of itself.Mark Kiszla, sports columnist: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson spikes ball in red zone wit...

San Jose State football: Spartans have a problem

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:31:08 GMT

San Jose State running back Kairee Robinson was talking about one game, but he could have been talking about any of the last three.“It’s a four-quarter game,” Robinson said Saturday night after a 35-27 loss at Boise State. “I guess we got complacent. We came out doing our thing in the first half, but in the second half we weren’t striking on all cylinders.”In the last three games, all losses, the Spartans have been outscored 56-7 in the second half. Their only second-half points came three weeks ago at Toledo. They led this game 27-7 in the second quarter.“I don’t have an answer for what happened to us in the second half tonight, but we didn’t help ourselves at all,” coach Brent Brennan said. “We didn’t score any points and we didn’t stop them. And that is just heartbreaking.”The Spartans (1-5) will need to win five of their six remaining games to qualify for a bowl game The first step is to win next Saturday on the road against New Mexico (2-3), a team whose only wins are aga...

McCarthy ouster, death of Feinstein zaps California clout on Capitol Hill 

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:31:08 GMT

The recent death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and this week’s ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the Speakership has deprived California of a wide swath of legislative and political clout, leaving the state looking to up-and-comers in Congress to fill big shoes. The loss of the two, coupled with Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) own exit from the Speakership late last year, has shaken up the state — and put it in an unfamiliar position. It has long relied on top members, especially Feinstein, to bring dollars and projects home; Feinstein served in the Senate from 1992 until her death last month.“She set a tremendous standard for what it means for a United States senator to represent California,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) told The Hill. “And to serve here in the Senate, I can only pray that I come anywhere close to live up to the standard that she set.” “It is impossible to overstate the impact she’s had on California,” Padilla also told reporters Wednesda...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:31:08 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Brett Quigley had to work a lot harder than he imagined Sunday to win again on the PGA Tour Champions. He recovered from a shocking double bogey with four closing pars for a 1-under 71 and a one-shot victory in the Constellation Furyk & Friends.The stress from that double bogey on the par-3 14th at Timuquana followed him all the way to the 18th hole, where Quigley had to make a sharp-breaking 7-foot par putt to avoid a playoff with Steven Alker.“I was scrambling the whole way in,” Quigley said.He won his first PGA Tour Champions title more than three years ago in Morocco — in his second start on the 50-and-older circuit. He had to wait 79 starts for the next victory. Quigley finished at 11-under 205 and earned $315,000.Alker closed with a 68.Steve Stricker, coming off a week in Rome as an assistant Ryder Cup captain, finished outside the top 10 for the first time this year.

Kamara becomes Saints’ career TD leader, Carr throws 2 TDs in 34-0 rout over Patriots

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:31:08 GMT

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Alvin Kamara told the Saints coaching staff he wanted to touch the football more this week. They gave him what he wanted, and the running back provided the spark New Orleans’ dormant offense had been missing. Kamara rushed for a touchdown to become the Saints’ career TD leader, Derek Carr had two scoring passes and New Orleans routed the New England Patriots 34-0 on Sunday.Tyrann Mathieu added a 27-yard interception return for a touchdown to help New Orleans (3-2) chase Patriots quarterback Mac Jones from the game — the second straight week coach Bill Belichick sidelined Jones in the second half. Kamara said he expected “tough conversations” in the locker room following a 26-9 loss to Tampa Bay last week. The response was exactly what he hoped it would be.“Anytime you find yourself in a lull or rut … you’ve got to find a way to fix it fast,” Kamara said. “Sometimes you get those ruts and it compounds and it starts to just turn into your identity....
