NASCAR reverses Ryan Blaney disqualification. Template used in inspection was flawed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:38 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR on Monday rescinded Ryan Blaney’s disqualification at Las Vegas Motor Speedway when series officials found a problem with the template used during post-race inspection. The reversal restored Blaney’s sixth-place finish from Sunday’s race, which had been stripped hours after the checkered flag for an alleged illegal front shock on his Ford. The disqualification dropped Blaney to last in the race and would have crippled his championship chances. Blaney went from last in the round-of-eight field to seventh, but his deficit below the cutline was reduced significantly. NASCAR did not reveal any information about the inspection process that led to the initial disqualification. “Monday morning during its race weekend debrief, NASCAR discovered an issue with the damper template used for inspection. NASCAR then conducted a detailed investigation, and has restored the No. 12’s stage and race finishing positions from Sunday,” NASCAR said in a sta...

Saints again facing questions about inconsistency on offense and squandered scoring chances

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:38 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The good news for the New Orleans Saints is that their muddling start has been good enough to keep them in contention in the anemic NFC South. After all four teams in the division lost in Week 6, New Orleans (3-3) entered Week 7 just a half game out of first place.Whether the Saints’ offense and quarterback Derek Carr can find the consistency and competence in the clutch to capitalize remains to be seen.It’s not like New Orleans is incapable of moving the ball. During Sunday’s 20-13 loss to Houston, the Saints outgained the Texans 430 to 297 in total yards. Carr passed for a season-high 353 yards.The Saints crossed Houston’s 35-yard line on seven of 10 offensive series — but got in the end zone only once.“When you’re not scoring down there, there’s a lot of factors that go into that,” coach Dennis Allen said Monday after reviewing footage of the game. “Can we call better play calls? We probably can. And yet, if we execute some o...

Ryan Tannehill remains Titans starting QB with bye week giving him time to heal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:38 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans believe they got lucky with the timing of quarterback Ryan Tannehill spraining his right ankle in London occurring right before their bye week.Tannehill left London on crutches after hurting the same right ankle that cost him a combined five games at the end of last season. Malik Willis was sacked on four of five pass attempts in the Titans’ 24-16 loss to Baltimore.Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday an MRI showed Tannehill’s ankle was similar to last season when the quarterback missed two starts after spraining the same ankle, not the second injury that sidelined the veteran for the final three games of the season. The Titans (2-4) are off until hosting Atlanta (3-3) on Oct. 29, and Vrabel said Tannehill will play if he can go. If Tannehill can’t, then they must choose between either Willis or rookie Will Levis. “I don’t know who that would be yet,” Vrabel said. “We’ll see.”Willis started three games last season before ...
