Magic Johnson chides his Commanders for ‘no intensity’ in a 40-20 loss to previously winless Chicago

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:05:10 GMT

By HOWARD FENDRICH (AP National Writer)LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Washington Commanders part-owner Magic Johnson criticized coach Ron Rivera’s team for playing with “no intensity or fire” in a 40-20 loss Thursday night to the Chicago Bears, a club that hadn’t won a game in nearly a full year. The latest poor showing for the Commanders, in front of a national primetime audience, to boot, also was too much for some of the home fans to take, apparently, and so it came, appropriately, with a soundtrack of boos. In the fourth quarter, a chant of the team’s old nickname — “Let’s go, Redskins!” — broke out.Their defense — supposedly a strength under Rivera, a former Chicago linebacker, and coordinator Jack Del Rio — was unable to do a thing to slow, let alone stop, Justin Fields and DJ Moore, and the Commanders (2-3) fell into a 24-point halftime hole along the way to dropping their third game in a row.“...

Closing argument? San Jose Sharks winger seems to cement roster spot with solid game

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:05:10 GMT

It’s a forward line that might just be together for the San Jose Sharks’ season-opening game next week against the Vegas Golden Knights.William Eklund probably wouldn’t mind that birthday present one bit.Eklund started Thursday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings on a line with center Mikael Granlund and Luke Kunin and assisted on a game-tying goal by Thomas Bordeleau in the third period in the Sharks’ 4-3 overtime loss at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.Eklund has now been impressive in three straight exhibition games and after spending most of last season in the AHL, may have just cemented his spot on the Sharks roster to start the regular season.NHL teams have to get their rosters down to 23 players by Monday and it’s not a stretch to say that Eklund will be among the 13 or 14 forwards the Sharks carry into their season-opener next Thursday at home against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Eklund turns 21 that day.“I thought he played another strong game,” Sharks...
