After making recent strides, Packers run defense takes big step backward in loss to Steelers

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 03:43:21 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — For a couple of weeks, it seemed as though the Green Bay Packers had turned one of their biggest weaknesses into a strength.But the run defense issues that have bothered the Packers for much of coach Matt LaFleur’s five-year tenure have resurfaced.The Pittsburgh Steelers rushed for 205 yards and gained 5.7 yards per carry Sunday in a 23-19 victory over the Packers, who have now given up at least 200 yards rushing three times this season.“It was a combination of missed tackles, missed assignments,” LaFleur said Monday. “There were a couple times where we were playing single-high defense where it’s solo gap football and you got two guys in one gap. There were a couple times where they got us in some two-safety looks, and when you do that, you’re going to be a little bit short in terms of your front, and they took what should be 5-, 6-, 7-yard gains and they made them into explosion plays.”The Packers (3-6) had allowed a total of 130 yards rushing on 57 carries i...

Dak Prescott is on a roll leading the Cowboys. Even if he keeps it up, there will be plenty to prove

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 03:43:21 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott is on one of the best three-game stretches of his career.Even if the star quarterback keeps it up and his Dallas Cowboys keep winning through the rest of November, there will be plenty left to prove.After all, a rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles looms in a difficult December.The Cowboys completed the most lopsided sweep of an NFC East rival in franchise history with a 49-17 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. The combined margin in two victories over New York was 72 points after a 40-0 win in the opener.It’s the division-leading and defending NFC champion Eagles who are the problem for the Cowboys. Dallas (6-3) trails Philadelphia by two games because of a 28-23 loss two weeks ago.Another second-place finish would mean more road games in January if the Cowboys make the playoffs, and they lost in San Francisco last season, again finishing short of the NFC championship game.It will be tough to catch the Eagles in the division — virtua...

Donald Trump Jr. lauds dad’s real estate exploits as ex-president’s civil fraud trial begins defense

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 03:43:21 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. returned to court Monday as something of a character witness for his father’s real estate empire, waxing exuberantly about the former president’s “incredible vision” and portfolio of “great, iconic projects” at the New York civil fraud trial now threatening his company’s future.The namesake son made an encore appearance at the Manhattan trial as defense lawyers started calling their own witnesses. Trump Jr. first testified two weeks ago, called in by New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ office, which is suing the Trump family business. “I’d say it’s good to be here, your honor, but I have a feeling that the attorney general would sue me for perjury if I said that,” he joked Monday before embarking on a detailed and rosy history of the family’s Trump Organization. James, a Democrat, alleges Donald Trump, his company and top executives, including sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., exaggerated his wealth by billions of dol...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 03:43:21 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — CeeDee Lamb’s chance at making NFL receiving history was news to Dallas offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer when the Cowboys were blowing out the New York Giants in the fourth quarter.The coaching staff was sorting through lineup changes with a five-touchdown lead in Dallas’ 49-17 victory Sunday when Schottenheimer got word that Lamb needed one catch and 8 yards receiving to become the first in league history with at least 10 catches and 150 yards in three consecutive games.Cooper Rush already had replaced star quarterback Dak Prescott, and the coaches weren’t going to reverse that move.But Schottenheimer went to coach Mike McCarthy to see if he wanted to give Lamb a shot at an NFL first.“That’s got to come from the head coach,” Schottenheimer said Monday. “And he’s like, ‘Let’s do it.’”The Cowboys made sure Rush was aware, and his first two plays were throws of 5 yards and 4 yards to Lamb, who finished with 11 catches ...
