Matthew Stafford’s injured thumb could be a major blow to Rams’ faint hopes of contending this year

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 07:08:49 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford has an injured thumb, and another season appears to be slipping through the Los Angeles Rams’ fingers.Stafford hurt himself while fighting for extra points on two plays in the Rams’ 40-23 loss at Dallas on Sunday. The Rams didn’t give an official update on his condition early Monday, but a significant absence for their franchise quarterback would seriously imperil any hope of avoiding their second straight losing season under Sean McVay.That’s because the Rams (3-5) have lost two straight measuring-stick games to the Steelers and the Cowboys, two opponents that appear to belong in the playoff race. That’s where the Rams thought they could be last month before they were brought back to reality by the consequences of their offseason roster gutting.Instead, the Rams have lost five of their last seven games, beating only the Colts and Cardinals. They were blown out by the Cowboys, falling behind 26-3 before they had even ...

Even when teams know it’s coming, they’re not stopping Dolphins’ deep passes from Tua to Tyreek

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 07:08:49 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa clutched the ball and dropped back to pass near the 50-yard line as receiver Tyreek Hill blew past double coverage. With two defenders running at full speed but still several steps behind Hill, Tagovailoa launched the ball in Hill’s direction. Touchdown, Miami.A downfield pass from Tagovailoa to Hill is certain to happen at some point each week. Still, it puzzled the Patriots in the first quarter of Sunday’s 31-17 win by the Dolphins. Miami will need its top players to keep performing when it faces the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this week in Frankfurt, Germany.“Tua did a fantastic job of selling the fake,” Hill said, “the corner and the safety bit up, and the rest was history.”Just as important as the play itself was that it came on a drive after Tagovailoa had thrown an interception.Tagovailoa has made it a point of emphasis to respond better to in-game mistakes, and it was the second time in three games that he had ...
