The Raiders’ inability to create takeaways continues a recent pattern

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:16:43 GMT

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — This isn’t exactly breaking news, but what happens in the preseason can be deceiving.Before the season began, the Las Vegas Raiders had a ball-hawking defense that created difficult joint practices for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and had a plus-2 turnover differential in preseason games.Now three games into the actual season, the Raiders have zero takeaways and are tied for last with the Minnesota Vikings with a minus-7 turnover differential.In Sunday night’s 23-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas has a minus-3 differential with Jimmy Garoppolo getting intercepted three times, including twice by Levi Wallace.Coach Josh McDaniels said the lack of takeaways isn’t for a lack of trying, noting the Raiders blitzed the Steelers throughout the game and tried several times to punch out the ball. The most notable missed opportunity was when cornerback Marcus Peters let a pick-6 slip through his hands in the first quarter with...

PARKER, Colo. (KDVR) — Traffic stops in the town of Parker are up more than 50% since last year, and citations are up more than 90%.Public Information Officer Josh Hans said the community had complained about speeding and other traffic issues, so they stepped up their efforts.

Orioles postseason tickets are drying up. Here’s how you can get them on resale.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:16:43 GMT

MLB’s tickets for postseason Orioles games are running out — the official retail site only had a handful of playoffs games still open Monday evening, four days after sales went live.You can still grab tickets from resellers, though they could be pricier. SeatGeek is the MLB’s “official ticket marketplace,” though the main difference between using that website and others, like StubHub or Vivid Seats, is that the others will take a few more clicks. Ticketmaster, the beleaguered admissions giant, had some resale tickets available Monday night but only for the American League Division Series.The MLB site only had tickets for the three wild-card games, all starting at $120. The Orioles could wind up in a wild-card spot if they don’t clinch the AL East title before Sunday, the end of the regular season. If the Orioles take that title, they will not play in the wild-card series next week.Resellers had wild-card tickets for Camden Yards going for less tha...
