Ravens beat Texans 25-9, but will be without running back J.K. Dobbins for the rest of the season

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 08:08:57 GMT

BALTIMORE (AP) — With J.K. Dobbins lost for the season because of a torn Achilles tendon, the Baltimore Ravens are again facing some major questions about their backfield.That injury did not prevent them from opening the season with a double-digit win.Justice Hill scored twice in the second half after Dobbins’ exit, and the Ravens pulled away for a 25-9 victory over Houston on Sunday. Baltimore managed only 265 total yards and Lamar Jackson turned the ball over twice, but the Ravens’ defense kept C.J. Stroud and the Texans out of the end zone.“There’s so many things that we need to work on and get better at, and that’s what we’ll do starting on Monday,” coach John Harbaugh said. “I’m excited with the win. I’m proud of the way the guys played.”Dobbins ran for an early touchdown before leaving with his injury, which Harbaugh said after the game would cost him the rest of the season. He had 22 yards on eight carries. Jac...

China está considerando prohibir la ropa que “hiera los sentimientos” de la nación

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 08:08:57 GMT

(CNN) — El cuerpo legislativo de China propuso cambios a una ley que, de ser aprobada, permitiría a las autoridades multar y detener a personas que vistan ropa que “hiriera los sentimientos de la nación”, lo que generó nuevas preocupaciones sobre la libertad de expresión en el país.El Comité Permanente del Congreso Nacional del Pueblo, que dio a conocer la propuesta en su sitio web a principios de septiembre de 2023, busca prohibir prendas y símbolos considerados “perjudiciales para el espíritu de la nación china” (frase utilizada a menudo para denotar patriotismo o falta de él).La redacción del proyecto de enmienda recuerda el lenguaje utilizado por Beijing para frenar la libertad de expresión en el país o para contraatacar los desaires percibidos por parte de países y empresas extranjeras.Esto le sigue a una serie de medidas drásticas contra el estilo personal en los últimos años, incluidas regulaciones de transmisión destinadas a desterrar a los artistas con “estilos afemin...

The Packers, Dolphins, 49ers and Rams were impressive. The Cowboys dominated despite an average offensive performance.Eight of 14 games Sunday finished under 40 points combined and 12 teams scored less than 20. Nine road teams won, including five underdogs.Joe Burrow, fresh off becoming the highest-paid player in league history, had one of his worst games as a pro. Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts, who briefly took turns owning the biggest contract, were rusty in victories. Justin Herbert, who also joined the $50 million club in the offseason, was sharp but couldn’t outplay Tua Tagovailoa.Daniel Jones, the New York Giants’ $40 million QB, had a miserable game in a 40-0 loss to Dallas.Burrow threw for a career-low 82 yards in Cincinnati’s 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Brown...

Marcus Semien is leading off every day for the Rangers, and leading the AL in hits and runs

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 08:08:57 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Marcus Semien is at the top of the Texas Rangers lineup every game, and always impressing the American League hitting leader who bats right after him. “Just the consistency,” said Rangers shortstop and No. 2 hitter Corey Seager, who himself has 30 home runs and a league-best .336 batting average. “He doesn’t really have bad at-bats.”Semien just became only the fourth player in the majors this season to twice have a four-hit game that included two homers. Both came in a span of four games ahead of a huge series between AL wild-card contenders that starts Monday night, when the Rangers play in Toronto against the All-Star second baseman’s former team. Going into the opener of that four-game series against the Blue Jays, Semien was among only six players in the majors to appear in every one of his team’s games — with Seattle third baseman Eugenio Suárez the only other AL player to do it. Semien was hitting .281 with 24 homers and 87 RBIs while ...
