Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams score 2nd-half touchdowns in Rams’ 26-9 win over Cardinals

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 21:05:14 GMT

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Although the Los Angeles Rams have played plenty of stellar offensive football over the past seven seasons, Sean McVay’s team hasn’t usually done it by simply squaring its shoulders and running the ball straight through opposing defenses.The Rams ran it relentlessly in the second half against Arizona on Sunday, and the result was a runaway win.Kyren Williams rushed for a career-high 158 yards and a touchdown, and Cooper Kupp made seven receptions for 148 yards and his first TD of the season in the Rams’ 26-9 victory over the Cardinals.Williams produced the Rams’ best individual rushing performance in nearly three years despite getting just 4 yards on two carries in the first half. McVay dramatically leaned into the running game after halftime, even calling eight consecutive runs to begin the third quarter, and his players responded superbly to the test of their toughness.“It’s awesome. I love it,” said Matthew Stafford, who pass...

Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo misses 2nd half against Patriots with back injury

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 21:05:14 GMT

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...

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 21:05:14 GMT

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...

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...
