Browns’ Garrett is set to chase Bears’ Fields at site of the quarterback’s rough NFL debut

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:51:28 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Two years ago, Justin Fields made his NFL debut on the road. It was far more miserable than memorable.Blame Myles Garrett.Chicago’s quarterback remembers nearly everything about his first game with the Bears in 2021 — the excitement, playing again in Ohio, the bruises.“And then of course getting sacked, too,” said Fields, who was sacked nine times — 4 1/2 by Garrett — and hit 15 times as the Bears were roughed up by the Browns 26-6. “Hopefully we can change that going back this weekend.”On Sunday, Fields and the improving Bears (5-8) will visit Cleveland for a matchup against the Browns (8-5), who have been hammered by injuries and are leaning on veteran QB Joe Flacco to get them to the playoffs for just the second time since 2002.Fields intends to stay upright more than he did in his first game against the Browns, and that will require his linemen, probably a tight end and maybe a running back or two keeping him safe from Garrett, a chore that’s easier ...

Jets’ defense focused on slowing the speedy Dolphins’ ‘mini track team’ in rematch

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:51:28 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — C.J. Mosley got a first-hand look at the Miami Dolphins three weeks ago. And the New York Jets linebacker knows if you blink, you might miss their speedy offense.“It’s like a mini track team out there,” Mosley said Thursday. “You see it on film, you watch it on TV, but until you’re out there running around with them, you really don’t know how fast those guys are.”Between running backs Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane and wide receivers Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios, the Dolphins have perhaps the fastest set of skill players in the league. They have all helped Tua Tagovailoa and Miami’s offense be one of the most productive — and explosive — units in the NFL.That was on full display when Miami romped past New York 34-13 on Nov. 24 in the league’s first game played on Black Friday. The Dolphins — who didn’t even have an injured Achane in that game — ran for 167 yards and rolled up 395 yards total in t...

Stefon Diggs says don’t count out battle-tested Bills as they prepare to host the Cowboys

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:51:28 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Count out the Bills as much as you’d like, wide receiver Stefon Diggs is defiant and confident in believing Buffalo is in an ideal spot to make a late-season playoff push.“We battled a lot, been battle-tested. And it’s a big thing being battled-tested,” Diggs said of a team that has spent much of the season lurching from one crisis to another — be it injuries, blown leads or coach Sean McDermott most recently having to publicly apologize for a clumsy remark he made four years ago in crediting the 9/11 hijackers for their communication skills.Now it’s a matter for the Bills (7-6) proving they’re better than the team that has dropped five of eight and is left with little margin for error in opening a final four-week stretch by hosting the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys (10-3) on Sunday.“Is the record a reflection of our team? I don’t think so. But it is the record,” Diggs said. “The only thing we can do is win the next game, win the next play.“Because ...

Falcons have a path to the NFC South title. Ridder has a lot riding on whether they get there

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:51:28 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Desmond Ridder isn’t going to spend much time contemplating playoff scenarios for the Atlanta Falcons, who are part of a three-way tie for first place in the NFC South with four games remaining.“Obviously for everyone to kind of be right there in that bunch, we know that we have everything in front of us,” the Falcons quarterback said. ”(But) it doesn’t matter about next week, it doesn’t matter about two weeks or what another team does. (It’s about) what we do and what we can do out there on Sunday.”Atlanta is tied with Tampa Bay and New Orleans atop the division. Of the three teams, the Falcons have the easiest remaining schedule — starting Sunday when they visit the division’s also-ran, the NFL-worst Carolina Panthers (1-12).The Falcons’ other remaining opponents are Indianapolis (7-6), Chicago (5-8) and the Saints.The Falcons held a one-game edge in the standings before losing 29-25 to Tampa Bay despite 347 yards passing from Ridder.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:51:28 GMT

Hours after officially introducing Shohei Ohtani as the newest member of the organization, the Los Angeles Dodgers struck again.According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and others, the Dodgers have reached an agreement to trade for Tampa Bay Rays ace Tyler Glasnow and outfielder Manuel Margot. The Rays will reportedly receive RHP Ryan Pepiot and OF Jonny Deluca, two of the Dodgers’ top prospects, and the deal is also contingent on Glasnow signing an extension with Los Angeles.Glasnow is coming off a strong bounce-back season in which he posted a 3.53 ERA with 162 strikeouts over a career-high 120 innings.
