Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:28 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Again and again on Sunday against Atlanta, the Houston Texans failed to get in the end zone and settled for field goals.They finally scored their only touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter, but the Falcons used a last-second field goal to get a 21-19 victory.Houston (2-3) was left to lament its missed opportunities after settling for four field goals before rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud orchestrated the late TD drive.“Third down wasn’t good enough, red zone wasn’t good enough,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We needed to get points there and we didn’t. Credit to Atlanta; they have a really good defense and did a really good job of forcing us to kick field goals in those positions.”Stroud, the second overall pick in the draft, was disappointed that the Texans couldn’t finish drives this weekend after combining to score 67 points in their previous two wins.“It is hard when you live in third-and-long,” Stroud said. “I think (Sunday) was probably our worst day in t...

Newfound depth is helping fuel the Colts’ ride into AFC South lead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:28 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen tailored his offense around rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson and 2021 NFL rushing champ Jonathan Taylor.Gardner Minshew and Zack Moss look pretty comfortable in it, too.With Richardson suffering his third injury in four games Sunday and being ruled out of next weekend’s matchup at Jacksonville with an AC joint injury in his throwing shoulder, and Taylor still working his way into game condition after a 10-month absence, the unlikely combination of Minshew and Moss has somehow given Indy a share of the AFC South lead.Steichen isn’t surprised by how they’ve played.“I think (Minshew) is an elite processor of the game,” Steichen said, referring to what he saw the previous two seasons when they worked together in Philadelphia. “When you’ve got a guy that can process the game quickly and make quick decisions … he’s really good, he’s accurate, he knows where to go with the football at...

Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase give the Bengals needed boost at Arizona

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:28 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow was scrambling and throwing touchdown passes to Ja’Marr Chase again, just in time to keep the Bengals from letting the season slip away. The Cincinnati quarterback looked unfettered by a lingering right calf injury, and receiver Chase had one of his best days as a pro in the 34-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Bengals improved to 2-3 amid signs they might be returning to the form that made them AFC North champions the past two years. They scored a first-half touchdown for the first time this season. The three Burrow-to-Chase touchdowns matched the team’s total TD output in the first four games combined.“We’re taking a step closer to who we really are,” Chase said. “We keep facing adversity this year. It’s not going to be an easy season. Right now, we’ll just take it step by step.”Burrow strained a calf muscle on July 27, and it limited his mobility through the first four games. On Sunday, he was 36 for 46 for 317 yards with three TDs an...
