Eagles in a world of hurt and uncertainty following three-game losing streak

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:58:30 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts might have the answer why the once-mighty Eagles have slid from 10-1 and the top of the NFC to 10-4 and fighting for a division title amid a three-game losing streak.A streak in which they failed to score more than 19 points. A streak that forced coach Nick Sirianni to change the defensive coaching staff. A streak that all but knocked the Eagles out of a shot at earning the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round playoff bye.“I don’t think we were committed enough,” Hurts said.Hurts — who played through an illness Monday night — tried to take responsibility by saying that getting the Eagles on the right page starts with him. That opportunities are always there for him to make plays. But it’s clear following their loss in Seattle that the Eagles need more than Hurts returning to his Pro Bowl level for the team to make a second straight Super Bowl.“We have to make an internal change in how we attack things, how we come to work every day,” Hurts said. “Starts...

NFL players face pressure as never before, in the digital-age surge of betting and fantasy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:58:30 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Alexander Mattison and the Minnesota Vikings had boarded the flight home after a tough loss earlier this season, when the fifth-year running back found dozens of hateful and racist messages directed toward him on social media.Criticism for the fumble he lost or his lack of rushing yards in the game? Fine. That comes with the job. But the trolling that night was so egregious that Mattison, after conferring with a trusted friend and fellow Black teammate, decided to push back and share some screen shots.“Under my helmet, I am a human, a father, a son,” Mattison posted on Instagram in his lament and challenge to the 60-plus users to reflect on their words and the harm they can inflict. “This is sick.”The intensity of NFL fandom that increased with the surge of fantasy football participation around the turn of the century has spiked further in the age of online betting. “When you used to lose, you would hear about it because of a fan’s loyalty to the team. They want ...

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot, setting up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race.The decision from a court whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors marks the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.“A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court wrote in its 4-3 decision.Colorado’s highest court overturned a ruling from a district court judge who found that Trump incited an insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but said he could not be barred from the ballot because it wa...
