Vikings still struggling to stop the quarterback carousel from spinning with Cousins out

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:44:37 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kirk Cousins naturally evoked the loudest roar of the night in Minnesota, further amping up a high-energy atmosphere for a crucial game against Green Bay.Who could’ve predicted earlier this season that such a sight would signal a big problem for the Vikings?Recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, Cousins was relegated to the role of hype man when he ripped his shirt off to fire up the crowd from a perch above the stadium right before kickoff. His encouraging and insightful presence on the sideline did little to help his replacements.When Jaren Hall was benched for Nick Mullens at halftime, after an interception and a fumble each set up a Packers touchdown, Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell switched quarterbacks for the fifth time in nine games. Though there was little reason to doubt Cousins would avoid injury in 2023 as he did over the first 11 years of his NFL career, the lack of a proven backup has bitten the Vikings (7-9) badly. The spinning carousel h...

Dolphins to host Bills with a chance to win AFC East, start playoffs at home

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:44:37 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins will be in the playoffs no matter what, but there’s plenty at stake in their showdown with AFC East rival Buffalo on Sunday night.The Dolphins’ chances at earning the AFC’s top seed ended when they were blown out at Baltimore last weekend. But a victory over the Bills would give them their first AFC East title since 2008 and the No. 2 seed in the conference.If Miami loses, it would fall to the No. 6 seed and likely would need to win three road playoff games to reach the Super Bowl.Playing at home could bode well for the Dolphins, who are 7-1 at Hard Rock Stadium.Miami had three turnovers at Baltimore on Sunday and gave up a season-high 491 yards as breakdowns in communication on both sides of the ball stalled momentum. Tua Tagovailoa was 22 of 38 for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Tyreek Hill caught six passes for 76 yards but dropped a potential touchdown when he was wide open in the end zone on Miami’s second dri...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Just when it appeared the season couldn’t get any more embarrassing for the Carolina Panthers, owner David Tepper finds himself embroiled in a public relations nightmare after video surfaced of the billionaire throwing the contents of a drink in the direction of Jaguars fans from his suite following a 26-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday.The NFL on Tuesday fined Tepper $300,000, calling his conduct “unacceptable,” and Tepper apologized in a statement.“I respect the NFL’s code of conduct and accept the league’s discipline for my behavior,” Tepper said.The fine is nothing the league’s second-wealthiest owner can’t handle. But what’s worse is that Tepper’s temper tantrum has drawn even more attention to all that is wrong in Carolina, which has become the laughingstock of the NFL.The NFL-worst Panthers (2-14) are an abysmal 31-67 since Tepper bought the team in 2018, failing to make the playoffs in each of his six seasons.While Tepper’...
