9-man Tottenham beaten by Chelsea in chaotic match and loses EPL’s last undefeated record

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:52 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Tottenham’s players lost their heads and the remaining unbeaten record in the English Premier League.A late hat trick by Nicolas Jackson sealed a 4-1 victory for Chelsea in a chaotic London derby on Monday featuring two red cards — to Tottenham defenders Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie — five disallowed goals and a maverick tactical approach by Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou in his unlikely bid to survive with nine men.Jackson broke the resistance of Tottenham with his three goals from the 75th minute, settling a frantic game that defied logic at times as hosts survived for a while despite playing a high defensive line following the sending-offs of Romero in the 33rd and Udogie in the 55th.“It is pretty hard to process,” Postecoglou said. “It’s almost impossible to analyze the game because it just seemed to get out of control.”Dejan Kulusevski gave Tottenham a flying start by scoring off a deflected shot in the sixth minute, only for the derby to turn fi...

Richardson’s season-ending injury changed the first-half equation for the resilient Colts

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:52 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts were supposed to measure this season’s success by Anthony Richardson’s development.Instead, the rookie quarterback’s season-ending right shoulder injury changed the equation.First-time coach Shane Steichen has dealt deftly with a series of unforeseen twists and turns, the most notable being the loss of Richardson in Week 5, to put the Colts within one win of a .500 record and on the cusp of the playoff mix at the halfway mark.“In this league, there are waves up and down,” Steichen said when the Colts snapped a three-game losing streak with Sunday’s 27-13 victory at Carolina. “That’s part of this league. Being consistent is the big process. We’ve got to be consistent week in and week out in all three phases.”So far, the Colts (4-5) have been riding those waves through troubled waters.While Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick in April, showed tremendous promise in his four starts, injuries allowed him to finish on...

Sputtering Bills resemble pretenders more than contenders at the midpoint of the season

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:52 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The assurances everyone keeps hearing from Bills players and management about how things will get better in Buffalo simply aren’t sticking.What was blamed as being a jet lag-related blip following a 25-20 loss to Jacksonville in London a month ago has grown into a full-blown crisis. Having lost three of five, the three-time defending AFC East champion Bills (5-4) resemble pretenders more than contenders at the midpoint of the season, when they’ve slipped out of the playoff picture.And there are few indications things will get easier based on a schedule that still features games against Philadelphia (8-1), Kansas City (7-2), Dallas (5-3) and a season-ending finale at Miami (6-3).The sense of urgency was evident in quarterback Josh Allen’s comments following a 24-18 loss at Cincinnati on Sunday night, when he projected it might take 10 or 11 wins to make the playoffs.“The math’s there. It’s not pretty. It’s not going to be easy,” Allen said. “But if the...
