Milano injury ‘not looking good’ for Bills. McDermott questions London travel plans vs rested Jags

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:02:36 GMT

LONDON (AP) — The Bills arrived jolly. They came out flat. They’re going home battered.Buffalo rallied but fell short in a 25-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.Starting linebacker Matt Milano left early with a knee injury that is “not looking good,” said coach Sean McDermott. That’s after losing starting cornerback Tre’Davious White last week to a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.McDermott is not optimistic about DaQuan Jones, either. The defensive end injured a pectoral muscle.And McDermott is definitely not pleased with the scenario of arriving in London on Friday to play a team that had already been in the British capital for a week.“We’ll see if, whatever comes up down the road in terms of us coming back here, but we need to evaluate everything because I didn’t feel like our energy was good enough early in the game. They had better energy than we did,” McDermott said.The Jaguars stayed in town after beating the Atlanta Falcons last ...

Oklahoma and Texas could bid farewell to Big 12 with Red River rivalry rematch in title game

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:02:36 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Oklahoma and Texas might not be done just yet playing each other in the Big 12 before going to the Southeastern Conference.Midway through the farewell season for the Big 12’s only remaining members with national championships, the fifth-ranked Sooners and No. 9 Longhorns again have established themselves as the league’s top two teams.So instead of next fall under a different conference banner back at the State Fair of Texas, where Oklahoma won 34-30 in a classic battle of unbeaten teams Saturday, the 120th meeting of the Red River rivals could very well be a rematch in the Big 12 championship game on Dec. 2 at AT&T Stadium.“I have no doubt we’re going to see them again in the Big 12 championship,” Sooners safety Peyton Bowen said.“Well, I expect us to get back on the horse,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. “I think that this locker room is full of champions and our goal is to go win a championship this year. So we have to handle our business.”Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0 B...

Daniel Jones knocked out of Giants’ loss at Miami, adding to New York’s season-opening woes

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:02:36 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Daniel Jones walked off the field early in the fourth quarter, knowing his day over after he had been quickly diagnosed with a neck injury. A few minutes later, his backup Tyrod Taylor was shaken up as well.For the New York Giants, the start to this season has been terrible.And Sunday, it got worse.The Giants lost their starting quarterback after he got sacked six more times, are still without their best running back and more than half of what should be their starting offensive line — and given all that it’s no wonder why this season is getting away fast. Miami exploited all those New York problems and more Sunday, beating the Giants 31-16 and dropping them to 1-4 on the season.It’s the fifth time in the past seven seasons that the Giants have started 1-4 or worse. No Giants team has ever made the playoffs after such a start. And it’s anyone’s guess where the season goes from here, given the inability so far to score or block.The Giants are short-handed — ...

Far-right surge upends German state elections

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:02:36 GMT

In two German state elections that are seen as a bellwether of the national mood, the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, surged while the three parties that make up the country’s federal coalition government suffered significant losses.Conservative forces won clear victories in both the states of Bavaria and Hesse. In Bavaria, the Christian Social Union (CSU), a sister-party to the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), is projected to win 36.6 percent of the vote, slightly lower than the party’s result in the last state election in 2018. In Hesse, the CDU is set to win 34.6 percent of the vote.But the biggest winner of the night was arguably the AfD, a party that has become increasingly extreme since its founding in 2013. The AfD is projected to come in second place in both Bavaria and Hesse, a historic win for the party.The AfD’s strong performance outside its traditional bastion in the states of the former East Germany suggests the party has successfully exp...
