Mahomes, Kelce lead Chiefs past Vikings, who lose Jefferson to late hamstring injury

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:12:41 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the third quarter, one to Travis Kelce after the All-Pro tight end briefly left the game with an ankle injury, and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Minnesota Vikings 27-20 on Sunday.Mahomes went 31 for 41 for 281 yards and no turnovers in his most efficient performance of the season for the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs (4-1), who once again won while not at their best.Kirk Cousins threw for scores to Jordan Addison and Alexander Mattison for the Vikings (1-4). They had two chances at the tying touchdown in the final five minutes, but a late hamstring injury to star wide receiver Justin Jefferson and a lack of timeouts from earlier mismanagement of the game were ultimately too much to overcome.Jefferson slipped on the turf while trying to make a cut on his route during a third-down pass deep in Kansas City territory. He grabbed the back of his right leg and limped slowly to the sideline.Mahomes hit Justin Watson ...

Jets rally past Broncos 31-21 with long TD from Breece Hall and scoop-and-score from Bryce Hall

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:12:41 GMT

The New York Jets celebrated Nathaniel Hackett’s return to Denver by rallying past the Broncos 31-21 on Sunday behind Breece Hall’s 72-yard touchdown run and Bryce Hall’s 39-yard game-sealing scoop-and-score off Russell Wilson’s fumble in the final minute.That gave Hackett, the Jets’ offensive coordinator who was fired after going 4-11 as Denver’s head coach last season, a measure of satisfaction. Especially after new Broncos coach Sean Payton trashed him during training camp for the job he’d done in Denver, particularly the way he handled Wilson during the quarterback’s dismal 2022 seasonThe Jets (2-3) overcame a sloppy, chippy first half to snap a three-game skid and hand the Broncos (1-4) their third home loss under Payton, who drew widespread criticism for excoriating Hackett in an interview with USA Today in July.After the game, the Jets took their own swipe at Payton in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter: “when you lose to th...

Communities impacted by the ongoing unrest in the Middle East took to the streets of Fort Lauderdale to make their voices heard in dual rallies held in close proximity to each other, nearly two days after Hamas launched a surprise attack out of Gaza that led to a declaration of war from Israel.7News cameras captured pro-Israel protesters as they chanted and held up Israel flags near the 1900 block of East Sunrise Boulevard, Sunday evening.Across the street, protesters supporting Palestine held a large sign simple reading “Palestine” in large letters.”“I think the reality is Hamas makes billions and billions of dollars from perpetuating this war. They’re subjected to the propaganda from their side, the miseducation; they’re raised in hate,” said a pro-Israel demonstrator as he pointed at the pro-Palestine protesters. “Hamas, as long as there’s death, they make billions and billions of dollars.”Not far from this demonstration...

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:12:41 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami should have taken a knee. It took a disastrous loss instead, as Georgia Tech turned a huge mistake by the Hurricanes into a last-second miracle.Haynes King threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Christian Leary with two seconds remaining after Miami turned the ball over with the game all but won, and Georgia Tech stunned the 17th-ranked Hurricanes 23-20 on Saturday night.The Yellow Jackets went 74 yards in 24 seconds, just after the Hurricanes had the option to kneel down, likely run out the clock, win the game and remain unbeaten. Instead, Don Chaney fumbled the ball away — Miami argued he was down, referees disagreed — and the Yellow Jackets pulled off a stunner.“We should have taken a knee,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said.Said Georgia Tech coach Brent Key: “We kind of thought they were taking a knee.”The Hurricanes (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) didn’t, and paid a huge price.

Extreme heat might have been the ‘nail in the coffin’ for these critical Florida coral

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:12:41 GMT

(CNN) — This summer’s record-breaking marine heat wave may have been the “nail in the coffin” for an iconic species of coral that serves as a building block of marine life around Florida. Still, scientists see other “signs of hope” in the state’s reefs.Elkhorn coral populations – which had already been teetering on the brink of local extinction in Florida – have been “decimated” by the extreme ocean heat, according to Liv Williamson, a coral expert and assistant scientist from the University of Miami.“This heat wave was the nail in the coffin for these populations,” Williamson said. “There were already so few elkhorn coral individuals on Florida’s reefs that various genetic rescue plans were underway, but now almost all the corals we would have used for such efforts have died.”Elkhorn and staghorn coral are some of the only so-called branching corals found in the Carribean. They were also the first coral species to gain protected status under the Endangered Species Act, Jennifer Moo...
