Upon Further Review: How Broncos fooled Chargers’ defense on key scoring drive in fourth quarter

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:51:11 GMT

The Broncos had the Chargers’ defense looking silly on Sunday afternoon.Denver faced a third-and-1 at Los Angeles’ 10-yard line when it lined up in a T formation with quarterback Russell Wilson under center and running back Javonte Williams, fullback Michael Burton and tight end Chris Manhertz behind him.Wilson got the Chargers to bite on a play-fake to Williams, then the nine-time Pro Bowler rolled to his left. As this was happening, tight end Adam Trautman ran undetected into the end zone, where he caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to take a 24-7 lead with 3:11 left in the fourth quarter.What a call. #AsISawIt x @KOAColorado pic.twitter.com/Iq3CazvCVK— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) December 11, 2023A day after the Broncos’ seventh victory, head coach Sean Payton said there’s no better feeling than when a play works as intended.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:51:11 GMT

By Michael Liedtke | Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — A federal court jury has decided that Google’s Android app store has been protected by anticompetitive barriers that have damaged smartphone consumers and software developers, dealing a blow to a major pillar of a technology empire.The unanimous verdict reached Monday came after just three hours of deliberation following a four-week trial revolving around a lucrative payment system within Google’s Play store. The store is the main place where hundreds of millions of people around the world download and install apps that work on smartphones powered by Google’s Android software.Epic Games, the maker of the popular Fortnite video game, filed a lawsuit against Google three years ago, alleging that the internet search giant has been abusing its power to shield its Play Store from competition in order to protect a gold mine that makes billions of dollars annually.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:51:11 GMT

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Black man who was shocked, beaten and hogtied facedown on a sidewalk pleaded for breath during his arrest in Washington state, and the three police officers charged in his death did not respond to his pleas, a prosecutor told the jury in closing arguments Monday.Had the officers done what most people would do if someone was struggling to breathe, Ellis would be alive today, said special prosecutor Patty Eakes, who is working for the Washington Attorney General’s office.“They chose instead to treat him like an animal, in the most dehumanizing position you can imagine,” she said. The Pierce County Medical Examiner ruled Ellis’ death a homicide and determined he died of hypoxia due to physical restraint.Ellis died March 3, 2020, nearly three months before George Floyd’s death would spark an international outcry against police brutality. The trial is the first in which an officer was charged in a death of a suspect since Washington voters approve...

DALLAS (AP) — Red Wings forward David Perron was suspended for six games by the NHL on Monday for cross-checking Ottawa defenseman Artem Zub in the aftermath of a hit on Dylan Larkin that knocked out the Detroit captain.Perron was given a match penalty for intent to injure for cross-checking Zub as he stood next to the prone Larkin in the first period of Saturday’s game. Larkin was motionless on the ice after getting cross-checked in the back of the head and neck by Ottawa’s Mathieu Joseph.In its explanation for the severity of the penalty against Perron, the NHL said he had sufficient time to engage Zub in a different manner. “First, this is not a hockey play. This is an intentional strike with a stick made with the purpose of exacting retribution on an opponent,” the league said. “This is not a case in which two players are jousting and are mutually aware that sticks are being raised.”The NHL referred to video that showed Perron circling back after the whistle, and taking se...
