COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Kellen Moore has been under the spotlight since he was hired as the Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator in late January.Considering this week’s opponent, the glare has been brighter than usual.The Chargers host the Dallas Cowboys — otherwise known as the team where Moore spent eight years before coming to Southern California — on Monday night. Moore joined the Cowboys for the final three seasons of his playing career (2015-17) before moving to the coaching staff. He was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 and offensive coordinator from 2019 through last season.Los Angeles’ hiring of Moore was announced less than 24 hours after Dallas coach Mike McCarthy said Moore would not return. At the time, McCarthy, who has taken over as the offensive play-caller, said the move was “a mutual decision to part ways.”Moore said it will be fun to see familiar faces again, but his familiarity with the Cowboys or how much information he could share this week is overr...

Chiefs defense dominant while Mahomes and the offense goes through ‘growing pains’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:28:24 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs managed to win the Super Bowl last season thanks primarily to their high-octane offense, which so often outscored opponents when a young but fast-improving defense had trouble slowing them down.Now it’s the defense that is bailing out the offense.While the Chiefs continue to go through what Patrick Mahomes called “growing pains” after Thursday night’s 19-8 win over the Broncos, their defense has quietly become one of the best in the NFL. They held Denver quarterback Russell Wilson to 95 yards passing, the Broncos to 197 yards as a team and did not allow any points until late in the fourth quarter.Asked if his defense could possibly be playing any better, Chiefs coach Andy Reid replied: “Not tonight.”“I thought they did a nice job. The guys played well,” he added. “We’re doing OK.”That’s an understatement.The Chiefs (5-1) already had a top-10 defense coming into the game, and that ranking could well improve after ...

Blinken warned US lawmakers Azerbaijan may invade Armenia in coming weeks

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:28:24 GMT

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned a small group of American lawmakers last week that his department is tracking the possibility that Azerbaijan could soon invade Armenia, according to two people familiar with the conversation.The call indicates the depth of concern in the administration about Azerbaijan’s operations against a breakaway region in the west of the country and the possibility of the conflict spreading.Azerbaijiani President Ilham Aliyev has previously called on Armenia to open a “corridor” along its southern border, linking mainland Azerbaijan to an exclave that borders Turkey and Iran. Aliyev has threatened to solve the issue “by force.”In an Oct. 3 phone call, lawmakers pressed Blinken on possible measures against Aliyev in response to his country’s invasion of the Nagorno-Karabakh region in September, the people said, who were granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive call.Blinken responded that the State Department was looking at avenues to hold Az...

Ravens nearly fully healthy and with just five inactive players for Titans showdown in London

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:28:24 GMT

The Ravens enter Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as healthy as they have been since the start of the season with just one player (outside linebacker David Ojabo) listed as out, and that is reflected in their list of inactive players as well.Baltimore has just five players inactive: cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, guard Sala Aumavae-Laulu, tackle Daniel Faalele, outside linebacker Odafe Oweh and quarterback Josh Johnson, who is the third/emergency quarterback.With rookie running back Keaton Mitchell not among the inactives as expected, that means the popular undrafted free agent out of East Carolina will be making his NFL debut. He is behind Justice Hill and Gus Edwards in the pecking order, but it’s likely he’ll see snaps on special teams after being activated from injured reserve Saturday.The speedy Mitchell had missed the first five games of the season after suffering a shoulder injury in the Ravens’ second preseas...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:28:24 GMT

In a country known for soccer, it was fitting that the Ravens did their share of kicking Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.It was also needed.With their offense moving down the field at will for much of the afternoon against the Tennessee Titans but struggling to find the end zone, the Ravens (4-2) relied on the right leg of Justin Tucker.

He converted on kicks of 41, 28, 23, 29, 20 and 36 yards.The Ravens’ lone touchdown came on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson to Zay Flowers in the second quarter.
