Kenny Moore’s two pick-6s help Colts snap 3-game skid with 27-13 victory over Panthers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:28:06 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kenny Moore returned two Bryce Young interceptions for touchdowns, Jonathan Taylor caught a touchdown pass from Gardner Minshew and the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Carolina Panthers 27-13 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak.Indianapolis’ much-maligned defense had allowed at least 37 points in each of its past three games and had allowed more points than any team in the league, but had no problem slowing down the No. 1 overall pick and a mostly listless Panthers offense.Moore became the first Colts player in history with two pick-6s in a game and the first NFL player to accomplish the feat since Tampa Bay’s Mike Edwards did it against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 of the 2021 season.Young finished 24 of 39 for 173 yards with three interceptions to fall to 1-6 as an NFL starter.Minshew threw for 127 yards and Taylor ran for 47 yards for the Colts (4-5). Adam Thielen, in the midst of a career season, was limited to 29 yards on five receptions for the...

Rookie QB Tyson Bagent commits 4 of 5 turnovers in loss to the New Orleans Saints as Chicago Bears ponder when Justin Fields will return

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:28:06 GMT

The Chicago Bears’ offensive unraveling started with about 11 minutes to play in the fourth quarter Sunday at the Caesars Superdome.Trailing the New Orleans Saints by a touchdown, rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent sent a pass toward Darnell Mooney in the middle of the field, but safety Marcus Maye jumped in front of it for an interception.Bagent hopped a few times and then dropped to the ground for a few seconds as he processed the turnover.There were far too many of those moments in the Saints’ 24-17 win.Maye’s interception was one of five Saints takeaways, including four off Bagent. In what could be one of his last starts in place of injured starter Justin Fields — if not the last — Bagent threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. He committed three of those turnovers on the Bears’ final four drives of the fourth quarter — with the game within reach thanks to some big defensive stops.“It really just all comes down to myself in that ...

Column: The Superdome has been a house of horrors for Chicago Bears QBs. Can Tyson Bagent reverse the trend?

The first start for a backup quarterback can be the best one a lot of the time.That’s a theory one veteran personnel man holds.“Nobody has any tape on you,” he said. “They don’t know who you are. They don’t know how you throw the ball. They don’t know what your game is. They don’t know how you’re being used.“A lot of backups can win their first game, and I have seen it over time. Some of them didn’t have any arm strength but they do things a little different.”Tyson Bagent won his first start for the Bears in Week 7, a 30-12 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders at Soldier Field. It’s worth wondering if that result played a factor in owner Mark Davis’ decision to fire general manager Dave Ziegler and coach Josh McDaniels on Tuesday.The second act wasn’t quite as smooth for Bagent in a 30-13 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. He completed 25 of 37 passes for 232 yards and two ...

Red Sox OF Alex Verdugo falls short in quest for first Gold Glove

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:28:06 GMT

Alex Verdugo’s quest for his first career Gold Glove Award came up short on Sunday, as Texas’ Adolis García beat out the Red Sox outfielder and Houston’s Kyle Tucker for the American League right field honor.Verdugo was a Gold Glove finalist for the first time in his career, and his stellar performance in Fenway Park’s expansive right field was a notable bright spot in what was otherwise a disappointing season defensively for the Red Sox.Verdugo led all American League right fielders with nine defensive runs saved, which was also good for third among all AL outfielders and eighth across all positions, along with 12 outfield assists. His arm strength also ranked 95th percentile according to Statcast and his three errors in 140 games was best on the team.Garcia had a similar case, ranking third among AL right fielder’s with seven DRS while also boasting the best throwing arm of any AL outfielder. Though Tucker’s advanced metrics weren’t as imp...

Mike Preston: Keaton Mitchell might be the final piece for Ravens offense | COMMENTARY

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:28:06 GMT

The missing ingredient has been found.Well, maybe.The Ravens needed a home run hitter at running back to complete this team for a playoff run and they might have found him in rookie Keaton Mitchell, an undrafted free agent out of East Carolina and a product of McDonough, Georgia.The 5-foot-8, 191-pound speedster played a huge role in the Ravens’ 37-3 victory against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium, making one of the NFL’s top teams even more complete.The Ravens already had everything else. They have perhaps the league’s best defense, which held Seattle to 151 yards of total offense, including 87 in the first half and 50 on a pass to wide receiver DK Metcalf late in the second quarter.They had an inside runner in Gus Edwards and a third-down weapon out of the backfield in passing situations in Justice Hill. They already had a quarterback who has gotten better passing inside the red zone and making quick decisions when facing blitzes.They were ...

Sex offender in 2011 child abduction in B.C. wanted Canada-wide

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:28:06 GMT

British Columbia’s premier says he is “deeply disturbed” that a high-risk sex offender who abducted a three-year-old boy in 2011 is on the loose after failing to return to his halfway house in Vancouver.Police say 58-year-old Randall Hopley is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant and was last seen Saturday afternoon. Police say Hopley has a history of convictions for assault, property and sexual crimes, including three sex offences against children.He was convicted of the 2011 abduction of a three-year-old boy in southeastern British Columbia, which touched off a Canada-wide search for the child.Hopley had taken the boy from his family home, held him captive in a cabin for four days before returning him apparently unharmed — although the parole board said later that “serious harm did occur.”Speaking from the Canadian premiers’ meetings in Halifax, B.C. Premier David Eby said it was inconceivable that a known sex offender who targeted children was able ...
