Zach Wilson is out — again — and Tim Boyle is next up at quarterback for the New York Jets.Boyle will start against the Miami Dolphins on Friday, replacing the struggling Wilson.Coach Robert Saleh announced the decision Monday to go with Boyle over Wilson, who took over as the starter when Aaron Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with New York on Sept. 11.“A different style of quarterback,” Saleh said. “So, really it’s just an opportunity to see if we can do something with the offense.”It will be the 29-year-old Boyle’s fourth NFL start and his first since 2021 with the Detroit Lions.Saleh said veteran Trevor Siemian, currently on the practice squad, will serve as Boyle’s backup against the Dolphins, with Wilson the No. 3 quarterback.Wilson and the Jets’ offense have struggled mightily this season, and Saleh pulled the 2021 No. 2 overall draft pick late in the third quarter of New York’s 32-6 loss at Buffalo on Sunday.Boyle replaced Wil...

Broncos are still on a heater but have much to fix to rally from 1-5 start and make playoffs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:41:36 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Even though the Denver Broncos now boast the NFL’s longest active winning streak at four games, their Monday video review featured a lot more roasts that boasts.“It’s not really good,” coach Sean Payton said after watching the Broncos’ blooper-filled 21-20 squeaker over the Minnesota Vikings from Sunday night in which they were outplayed, outmuscled and even outwitted (with a fake punt).“They ran the ball better than us. They were better than us on third down. Better than us in the red zone. And in most areas,” Payton said. “Better than us in the kicking game.”He could have gone on and on, but he had to start checking off boxes on his long list of corrections that need to be made for the Broncos (5-5) to continue their winning ways.Among the cringe-producing moments was the unflagged hit on Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs on the game’s third snap by safety Kareem Jackson, who was returning from a two-game suspension for vi...

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli forces pressed their offensive against Hamas in northern Gaza on Monday, battling militants around a hospital where thousands of patients and displaced people have been sheltering for weeks, and where health officials managed to evacuate some of the wounded. A medical worker inside the facility and the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said a shell struck the second floor of the Indonesian Hospital, killing 12 people. Both blamed Israel, which denied shelling the hospital, saying its troops returned fire on militants who targeted them from inside the 3.5-acre (1.4 hectare) compound. The offensive came as 28 premature babies evacuated from Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital by the World Health Organization were transported to Egypt on Monday. Three others were transferred to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah in southern Gaza, the Red Crescent said. More than 250 critically ill or wounded patients remain stranded at the compound that Israeli force...
