Vikings receivers take group approach to fill in for injured Justin Jefferson

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:29:37 GMT

CHICAGO — To offset the loss of the reigning offensive player of the year, the Vikings’ receiving corps took a collective approach against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.When all-pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson sustained a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of last week’s 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, it landed him on injured reserve, which means he must miss a minimum of four games.In Jefferson’s absence Sunday, quarterback Kirk Cousins spread the ball around to six receivers in the Vikings’ 19-13 victory over the Bears. Cousins completed 21 of 31 passes for 181 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.Tight end T.J. Hockenson was targeted a team-high eight times, resulting in six receptions for 50 yards.K.J. Osborn had four catches for 48 yards, and rookie Jordan Addison had three receptions and the Vikings’ only offensive touchdown on a 10-yard pass from Cousins.Brandon Powell had three catches for 20 yards, and running back Alexander Mattison h...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:29:37 GMT

The 49ers suffered their first loss of the 2023 season, a 19-17 defeat Sunday in rainy Cleveland.Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey both were ruled out for the game due to injuries, and Brock Purdy struggled without them, going 12-for-27 for 125 yards, one touchdown and one interception.The offense stalled after a first-drive touchdown by McCaffrey on a shovel pass, rookie kicker Jake Moody went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts (including a miss to win the game), and two late penalties on close calls harmed their chances of winning.Here is what the 49ers had to say after the game:Kyle ShanahanOn Moody’s missed kick to win the game:It’s always tough to miss that last kick but that happens in football.

For the first time this season, the 49ers are losers.Jake Moody’s missed 41-yard field goal in the final seconds and Brock Purdy’s worst game as an NFL player (12 of 27, 125 yards, a touchdown and an interception) ended the Niners’ regular-season win streak at 15 on Sunday in Cleveland.There weren’t many positives to glean from a game that lacked execution and entertainment for all 60 minutes.Here are the studs and duds from the contest:STUDSChristian McCaffreyBloodied but undeniable — he was the only Niner who could move the football Sunday.

Canadian autoworkers ratify new contract with General Motors, leaving only Stellantis without deal

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:29:37 GMT

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian autoworkers have voted to ratify a three-year contract agreement with General Motors.Members of Unifor, the union representing about 4,300 Canadian workers at three Ontario GM facilities, voted 80.5% in favor of the deal, the union said Sunday in a statement.The vote followed the pattern of an agreement reached earlier with Ford, and it leaves only Jeep maker Stellantis without a contract. Talks have yet to start with Stellantis, which has the largest Canadian manufacturing footprint of Detroit’s three automakers.The GM agreement came after a brief strike last week by the workers at GM factories in Oshawa and St. Catharines, Ontario, and a parts warehouse in Woodstock, Ontario.GM says in a statement that the deal recognizes worker contributions while positioning the company to be competitive in the future.Unifor said that the deal includes pay raises of nearly 20% for production workers and 25% for skilled trades. Workers would get 10% in general pay raises i...

Colts QB Gardner Minshew delivers a turnover-filled folly in his return to Jacksonville

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:29:37 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Gardner Minshew’s return to Jacksonville was a turnover-filled folly, a much different version of “Minshew Mania.”Minshew lost a fumble and threw three interceptions in his first game back in Jacksonville since the Jaguars traded him just before the 2021 season. Minshew’s miscues were critical in Indianapolis’ 37-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.“At the end of the day, I was careless with the ball,” Minshew said. “I didn’t do a good enough job taking care of it. I put our team in a really bad spot, and it’s not fair to the rest of the guys. So I’m really going to look at those, hold myself accountable.“We’re not going to tuck our tail. We’re not going to drop our chin. We’re just going to keep rushing through and learn from it and we’ll come out the other side better.”With rookie Anthony Richardson spraining his throwing shoulder and landing on injured reserve last week, the Colts turned to Minshew for at least the next month — maybe longer. It just so happ...
