Derek Carr and the Saints’ offense showed potential in fits and starts during Week 1 win

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:03:16 GMT

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Alvin Kamara is arguably the biggest star on New Orleans’ offense and the Saints have started 1-0 without him as he serves a three-game suspension.It helps to have a defense that has made holding opponents to 20 or fewer points look routine. Having a new franchise quarterback might have helped, too.Derek Carr, the former Raiders starter who arrived as a free agent this offseason, was effective enough in his Saints debut to lead New Orleans to one more point than the Tennessee Titans scored in a 16-15 defensive struggle in Week 1.Carr completed nearly 70% of his passes for 305 yards and a touchdown on a day when he was also sacked four times and the Saints struggled to run the ball.“It was rough at times, but (I’m) encouraged that we did enough to make the plays that we needed to to win the game,” Allen said Monday after reviewing video of the opener. “Obviously they’re a good defense.”It took one game for Carr to exhibit good chemistry with sec...

Seahawks know expectations took a hit with flop performance in opener

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:03:16 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — DK Metcalf and Quandre Diggs lost their cool with personal fouls caused by frustration. Geno Smith and Seattle’s offense were booed off the field. Both starting offensive tackles were injured and the stands were mostly vacant by the time the final play was snapped.The Seattle Seahawks season opener could not have gone much worse.“A very difficult day to take for the opener and everybody’s expectations,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Monday. “Nobody’s were higher than ours, but everybody’s expectations were dashed a bit to get this thing started.”Seattle’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the opener was the worst home loss for the Seahawks in six years and one of the worst home defeats in Carroll’s tenure. The Seahawks have always found ways to be competitive even in defeat, but the performance against the Rams was a deflating effort that left players questioning whether Los Angeles simply wanted to win more.That’s never a great way to start a season, let ...

The Giants have a ton to work on after an non-competitive performance in their opener

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:03:16 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Brian Daboll didn’t get much sleep after the New York Giants were embarrassed 40-0 by the Dallas Cowboys in prime time on national television.Instead of building off making the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and living up to the preseason hype with a new and improved roster, the Giants were not competitive Sunday night. They made physical and mental errors, turned the ball over twice, did not protect quarterback Daniel Jones, gave away points and looked very much like the also-rans who frustrated their fans by posting five straight losing seasons from 2017-21.“I’d say when you walk out after a game like that, there is a lot of emotion,” Daboll said Monday. “You put everything you got into it, and we didn’t perform well and that starts with me. There is a self-reflection and then you watch the tape, you go through whether it’s decisions, whether it’s plays, whether it’s techniques and then you move on to the next week.”The Giants have a big ...

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia had sex with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific sex acts.Screenshots of Susanna Gibson on the website were shared with The Associated Press. The campaign for Gibson, a Democrat running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in a district just outside Richmond, issued a statement Monday in which it denounced the sharing of the videos as a violation of the law and her privacy. Gibson called the exposure of the videos “the worst gutter politics.”“It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me,” she said in the statement. “My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”The Washington Post first reported the videos on Monday.The revelation marked an...

Safety Damar Hamlin won’t play in the Bills’ opener against the Jets

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:03:16 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Damar Hamlin was listed among Buffalo’s inactives, so he will not play in a regular-season game for the first time since going into cardiac arrest when the Bills open the season against the New York Jets on Monday night.The Bills made the decision official about 90 minutes before kickoff when the teams announced their inactive players for the game.Hamlin, a safety who had to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati in January, played in three exhibition games this summer. He made the Bills’ roster as a backup after many doubted he would be able to take the field again.Listed as the fourth safety on Buffalo’s depth chart, Hamlin is expected to be limited to mostly special teams roles barring injuries to starters Jordan Poyer or Micah Hyde.Hamlin, 25, was starting in place of an injured Hyde against the Bengals on Jan. 2 when his heart stopped as a result of commotio cordis, which is when a direct blow at a specific point in a heartbeat causes card...
