Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:06:31 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gardner Minshew got the most out of his depleted supporting cast.The Colts’ quarterback, himself a backup, made big plays with backup receivers. He got Indianapolis’ reserve running backs into play calls that would succeed. It was some of Minshew’s finest work of the season — perhaps of his entire career.Minshew matched his career high with three touchdown passes, Indianapolis rushed for 170 yards and the Colts improved their playoff prospects with a 30-13 win over the sagging Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.“We’ve needed to win these games and we’ve done a great job down the stretch,” Minshew said. “I think everybody was locked in, the urgency was there, the attention to details. At this point it’s all about winning games, however, you’ve got to get it done.”Minshew and the Colts (8-6) have won five of six to move from the bottom of the AFC South into playoff contention. They currently hold the No. 7 position in the AFC, and they will remain th...

DENVER (AP) — Firefighters in the Denver metro area responded to the second large fire at an Aurora construction site in three days on Saturday.

Avalanche observations: Jets look like Central Division contenders with convincing win

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:06:31 GMT

A slow start on offense and a couple of defensive breakdowns spurred on a long night in Winnipeg for the Colorado Avalanche.Gabe Vilardi scored twice, and the Jets handled the Avalanche with relative ease for the second time in nine days in a 6-2 victory. This also looked more like a few of those early-season blowout losses than any of the Avs’ recent run of results.Most pundits saw the Central Division race as a two-team battle between the Avalanche and Dallas Stars in the preseason, but the Jets moved ahead of Colorado in the standings with this win and looked impressive even without leading goal-scorer Kyle Connor.Where’s Makar?: Cale Makar missed the game with a lower-body injury. He took part in the morning skate, according to reporters in Winnipeg. Makar has been dealing with a nagging injury for a while. Avs head coach Jared Bednar admitted that both he and Josh Manson have been nursing something. Makar has been heading for the bench during power plays earlier tha...
