The Lions are going back to the basics after their lopsided loss to the Ravens

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have an extra day to prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders next Monday night.Coach Dan Campbell knows how he’s going to use it.In the aftermath of Detroit’s 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Campbell is going back to the basics.“As you get into the season, you start shaving some practice time on the fundamentals to work a little bit more on the scheme,” he said Monday. “You are hoping you have gotten enough fundamentals through camp, and you know what, we have got to get back to that — that’s where I can help these guys.”Campbell said last Wednesday’s decision to lighten practice might have added to the problem.“I thought it was the right time to back off, but we probably needed a little more,” he said. “We should have gone out and done just a bit of full speed when we were getting ready to play a physical team.”No one expected the NFC North-leading Lions to go 16-1, especially Campbell, but he was upset by the manner o...

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Bobby Wagner knows what elite defenses look like. He was the anchor in the middle the previous time the Seattle Seahawks had a defense regarded in that way.This current group in Seattle isn’t in that “Legion of Boom” era category. But they are showing characteristics that provide the Seahawks a chance to win even when their offense makes mistakes.“We’re moving in the right direction,” Wagner said.For only the fifth time in franchise history, the Seahawks have held their opponents to 250 yards or fewer in three straight games. The latest game came Sunday when Seattle shut down Arizona in the second half of a 20-10 win over the Cardinals.For the third time in Pete Carroll’s tenure, the Seahawks have gone three straight games holding their opponent under the 250-yard mark. One came in 2014 when Seattle held a staggering six straight opponents under the 250-yard mark. That was during Seattle’s run with a defense that one of the best of its generation.The other time ...

The sun sets on Landon Donovan’s San Diego Loyal soccer club after heartbreaking OT loss

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:48 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Landon Donovan’s San Diego Loyal soccer club was born on March 7, 2020, playing its first match a few days before the pandemic shut down the world.It died late on a misty Sunday night on an absolute gut punch of a goal in the 119th minute of a playoff opener. Exhausted, heartbroken players sprawled on the pitch after the final whistle. Their passionate fans, many of whom had been chanting, singing, banging drums, waving flags and setting off green and orange smoke bombs for more than two hours at cozy 6,000-seat Torero Stadium at the University of San Diego, fell silent.Players and fans knew since late August that the second-tier team was going to fold at season’s end, in large part because of the impending arrival of the expansion MLS team San Diego FC in 2025 that will play at 35,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium. Everyone tried to make the best of it, and the independent supporter group The Locals, whose members packed section 109 behind the east goal every match...

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez returned to Manhattan federal court Monday to challenge a new criminal charge alleging that he conspired to act as an agent of the Egyptian government when he chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.“Not guilty,” Menendez, 69, said when Judge Sidney H. Stein asked him for a plea to the charge. It was his first appearance before Stein, who is expected to preside over a trial tentatively scheduled for May.Stein said the plea was the sole purpose for the hearing and adjourned the proceeding after less than five minutes.

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Colorado Department of Transportation said Monday that a passenger train route to Steamboat Springs and Craig could be re-established thanks to a $5 million investment to study the rail line and other projects.According to CDOT, communities in the Yampa Valley brought attention to reestablishing a passenger rail line that previously operated across a 191-mile Union Pacific Railroad route until 1968.The route starts in Denver, runs through Winter Park and Steamboat Springs and ends in Craig.CDOT has been looking into the possibility of a mountain rail line for months, with recent developments making the idea a real possibility.
