Denver Broncos bench QB Russell Wilson and will turn to Jarrett Stidham

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos are benching quarterback Russell Wilson in a move that could have major ramifications for both his future and theirs.Although the move keeps open the team’s options next year and could ultimately save the Broncos $37 million, coach Sean Payton on Wednesday called the switch to journeyman Jarrett Stidham more of a football decision than a financial one.“I understand all the speculation and everything that surrounds a move like that, and I can tell you we’re desperately trying to win,” Payton said. “Sure, in our game today there are economics and all those other things, but the No. 1 push behind this … is to get a spark offensively.”The Broncos (7-8) have a narrow path to the playoffs. They’d have to win out and Kansas City (9-5) would have to lose out for Denver to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2015 season.Payton said the entire offensive operation, himself included, has been deficient and this move isnR...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:55:55 GMT

A Palestinian town with a typical population around 75,000 has been overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of people seeking refuge as Israel expands its ground offensive across Gaza.Some of the new arrivals Wednesday at Deir al-Balah traveled by foot or rode donkey carts loaded with belongings. While many crowded onto streets around the town’s main hospital, others set up tents on sidewalks.Palestinian health officials said dozens were killed in Israel’s heavy strikes across the center and south of the territory.The U.N. humanitarian office says the scale and intensity of ground operations and fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in most areas of Gaza and their devastating impact is impeding aid deliveries.“Operational challenges due to insecurity, blocked roads and a scarcity of fuel are also hampering the humanitarian response,” the office, known as OCHA, said in a statement Wednesday.OCHA warned that telecommunications blackouts are making commu...

Kareem Jackson returns ‘home’ to Houston, looking to put suspensions behind him

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:55:55 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Kareem Jackson is back with the Houston Texans, a place the veteran safety calls home.Jackson was claimed off waivers from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, reuniting him with the team where he spent his first nine seasons.“The way the season’s gone for me, emotionally kind of all over the place,” he said Wednesday after his first practice. “It’s always great to come home. And for me as a player, I think all players want to be wanted. So, for the Texans to claim me, it’s a full circle moment.”Jackson has played just eight games this year in a season where he has been fined five times, ejected twice and suspended twice for a total of six games over a series of illegal hits.His first suspension came for an illegal hit on Packers tight end Luke Musgrave on Oct. 22. It was a four-game suspension but was knocked down to two games on appeal. But in his first game back, a hit he delivered to Minnesota quarterback Joshua Dobbs landed him a four-game suspension.As he prepares for...

Man City inspired by world champion badge to rally for 3-1 win at Everton. Rare home win for Chelsea

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:55:55 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Trailing 1-0 to Everton at halftime, Manchester City didn’t much look like the newly crowned Club World Cup champion despite the new golden FIFA badge on the front of the players’ shirts. But Pep Guardiola had a simple message to his players at the break. “The manager (told us) at halftime to just keep believing, we haven’t got this badge for no reason,” City midfielder Phil Foden said. “In the second half, yeah, wow, I think we blew them away with the way we played.”Foden started the comeback by equalizing in the 53rd minute, before Julian Alvarez’s penalty and a late goal by Bernardo Silva secured a 3-1 win at Everton to put the defending champions back into the Premier League’s top four. “That’s why we’re the world champions. The best team in the world,” Guardiola said with a smile in a post-game interview on Amazon Prime. “Now I’m going to remind them every day. We have a standard to keep.” The trip to Saudi Arabia for the Club W...
