The Pittsburgh Steelers somehow find themselves. T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith are the reasons why

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:47:05 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Nick Herbig took offense to the question.Asked if T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith might be the best edge-rushing tandem in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie outside linebacker who has essentially attached himself to his two superstar teammates since training camp began just shook his head.“Might be?” Herbig said, with more than a tinge of sarcasm. “Might be? Look at the tape, bro.”Look at the standings, too.The Steelers enter their bye week at 3-2 and atop the AFC North almost in spite of an offense that still can’t seem to get out of its own way. They’ve survived thanks in large part to two players who are well aware of the franchise’s great pass-rush duos of the past — Hall of Famer Kevin Greene and Greg Lloyd and James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley to name just two — and embraced the standard that comes with it.Week in and week out, opponents put together game plans trying to find a way to keep Watt and Highsmith in check. And week in and (nea...

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military pulverized the Hamas -ruled Gaza Strip with airstrikes and kept blocking deliveries of food, water, fuel and electricity Thursday ahead of a possible ground invasion as Palestinians tried to stock up on supplies. Israel said that nothing would be allowed into Gaza until the release of around 150 hostages taken captive by Hamas during an unprecedented surprise attack Saturday into Israel that also left hundreds killed. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken vowed American support for Israel Thursday in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. International aid groups warned of a worsening humanitarian crisis after Israel prevented entry of supplies from Egypt to Gaza’s 2.3 million people. The Israel-Hamas war has claimed at least 2,700 lives on both sides.Some key takeaways from the war:WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN GAZA?

IndyCar takes hybrid testing to its marquee venue in Indianapolis

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:47:05 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Motor Speedway reverted to its original purpose Thursday — serving as a test track for new automobile technology.The lessons learned about IndyCar’s new hybrid cars could reverberate throughout next season.Four drivers, including reigning series champ Alex Palou, spent Thursday turning laps on the 2.5-mile Brickyard in race cars equipped with paddles or buttons used to store or deploy extra energy while cars are on the track.The early reviews were mixed.“It’s certainly not fast,” 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi said. “Right now, it’s just a lot of experimenting and playing around with different kinds of theories. I think you’ll see more of an impact in group running than when you’re just driving around flat out by yourself.”Although the Arrow McLaren driver spent his final two Formula One seasons, 2014 and 2015, driving in the series’ then newly adopted hybrids, these cars are not the same.
