LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo injured his back in Sunday’s 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots and didn’t play in the second half.Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said after the game he didn’t have an update on Garoppolo and that he would be evaluated.Should Garoppolo not be available to play next Sunday at Chicago, McDaniels will have to decide whether to go with veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell.McDaniels has always maintained Hoyer would be the first quarterback in if Garoppolo was injured in a game, but O’Connell started Oct. 1 at the Los Angeles Chargers when Garoppolo missed the game with a concussion. O’Connell completed 24 of 38 passes for 238 yards in the loss, but lost two fumbles, threw an interception and was sacked seven times in the 24-17 loss.The Raiders might want to see what kind of quarterback they have in O’Connell, a fourth-round pick out of Purdue. He was the emergency qua...

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jared Goff and the streaking Detroit Lions keep finding different ways to win.A week after improving on their best start in more than a decade without injured star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, the NFC North leaders used Goff’s arm and a stingy defense to overcome the loss of leading rusher David Montgomery to beat the sputtering Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-6 on Sunday.With Montgomery (ribs) sidelined after the second quarter and injured backup Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) also unavailable, Goff threw for 353 yards and two touchdowns to help the Lions win their fourth straight game following an overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks.At 5-1, the Lions are off to their fastest start since 2011 and share the NFL’s best record.“We’ve played well for six weeks. It’s four in a row for us. It’s a pretty good feeling, yeah, it certainly is,” Goff said.“I can’t say enough about our defensive performance today and really for five games this year, to be honest with you,R...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Robert Saleh stepped from the podium at his postgame news conference and let loose a little. “They ain’t 12-0 no more!” the excited New York Jets coach declared.No, the Philadelphia Eagles are no longer unbeaten against the Jets. And they’re no longer undefeated this season.Breece Hall ran for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:46 remaining, one play after Tony Adams intercepted Jalen Hurts, and the Jets erased an 11-point deficit and held on to shock the Eagles 20-14 on Sunday.“There’s no quit in this team,” quarterback Zach Wilson said.The Jets (3-3) appeared on their way to falling to 0-13 in their history against the Eagles, but Hurts’ third interception of the game — and the fourth turnover by Philadelphia — was returned by Adams 45 yards to put New York into immediate scoring position.“I mean, that was huge,” Wilson said. “You know, we needed that one. And he came through for us.”Hall’s run shook MetLife Stadium as the Jets fa...

Biden is ‘weighing’ a visit to Israel for show of solidarity

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:43:08 GMT

The Biden administration is considering a presidential visit to Israel as a sign of support for the country following the brutal attack by Hamas.Two U.S. officials, granted anonymity to detail sensitive internal discussions, said President Joe Biden could land in Israel as early as this week. But they stress a trip might not happen any time soon, or at all, depending on the security situation in Israel and the state of a war that is quickly spiraling out of control. Israel is on the verge of ordering a ground invasion of Gaza.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited Biden to visit when the two men spoke on Saturday, the officials said, with one of them saying the administration was “weighing” the offer.Biden has told aides he’s interested in going, as his presence would demonstrate strong U.S. support after Hamas killed more than 1,300 Israelis and took around 150 hostages, including Americans. But the likelihood of escalating hostilities could mean that any future trip occ...

Lebanese hold their breath as fears grow Hezbollah will pull them into war

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:43:08 GMT

BEIRUT — Once again, the Lebanese are glued to their TV sets and are compulsively checking their cell phones, following every twist and turn of skirmishes on the border, trying to weigh up whether another war is imminent. In desperation, they are asking themselves how a nation so often shattered by conflict — and pummeled by an economic crisis — is again at risk of tipping back into the abyss. “People are exhausted — they can’t take much more,” said Ramad Boukallil, a Lebanese businessman, who runs a company training managers. “Lebanon is reeling — we have had four harsh years with the economic crisis, people are skipping meals and can hardly get by. We had the port explosion, the pandemic, a financial crash. Please God we’re not hit with another war,” he added, in a conversation at Beirut airport. The chief fear for many Lebanese is that they could soon be the second front of Israel’s war against its Islamist militant enemies, after Hamas’ brutal onslaught against Isra...

Israel or Hezbollah miscalculation could blow region apart

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:43:08 GMT

Nicholas Blanford is a Beirut-based senior nonresident fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Middle East Programs.BEIRUT — As Israel embarks on what looks like ground incursions into the Gaza Strip, the country’s northern border with Lebanon has been heating up.Since Hamas launched its devastating assault on southern Israel on October 7, Hezbollah and Palestinian militants have been carrying out a spate of small-scale attacks from Lebanon, putting the people of both Lebanon and Israel on edge, fearful of a broader conflict engulfing the region.So far, Hezbollah has remained relatively coy about its intentions. However, Sheikh Naim Qassem — the organization’s deputy leader — said in a speech on Friday that it was ready for action.“The question being asked, which everyone is waiting for, is what Hezbollah will do and what will its contribution be,” he said. “We will contribute to the confrontation within our plan — when the time comes for any action, we will carry it out.”Hezbollah...
