Demko stopped 30 of 31 shots faced, allowing only a Valeri Nichushkin goal with 46…
Former first-round draft choice Clyde Edwards-Helaire was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. The 25-year-old running back led the Chiefs in rushing yards his rookie year after being selected with the 32nd pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, bursting onto the scene with 803 yards and four touchdowns. The LSU product struggled to match that statistical production afterwards, however, rushing for fewer yards in each subsequent season. After starting 13 games as a rookie, he started 10 in 2021, six in ‘22 and three in ‘23. Edwards-Helaire had managed to remain productive, averaging at least 4.3 yards per…

Pep Guardiola admitted he did not see Manchester City’s staggering collapse in form coming after conceding twice late on to lose 2-1 to Manchester United on Sunday. City have won just once in 11 games in all competitions, a run that includes eight defeats. After an unprecedented four consecutive Premier League titles, City’s defence of their crown looks over before Christmas. Guardiola’s men trail leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand, by nine points and sit outside the Champions League places in fifth. “I don’t have defence, I’m the boss, I’m the manager. I have to find a solution…
Saudi Arabia has executed more than 100 foreigners this year, according to an AFP tally indicating a sharp increase which one rights group said was unprecedented. The latest execution, on Saturday in the southwestern region of Najran, was of a Yemeni national convicted of smuggling drugs into the Gulf kingdom, the official Saudi Press Agency reported. That brought to 101 the number of foreigners executed so far in 2024, according to the tally which is compiled from state media reports. This is almost triple the figures for 2023 and 2022, when Saudi authorities had put to death 34 foreigners each…
The Washington Commanders have pulled off the play of the year thus far to beat the Chicago Bears in thrilling fashion on Sunday night. With a desperation heave to the end zone, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, down three points with no time left on the clock, watched as his Hail Mary sailed toward the end zone. But, what appeared to be a ball too short for a game-winning touchdown, turned into a tipped ball that went backwards from the crowd of Commanders and Bears near the goal line. The only one behind them? Commanders receiver Noah Brown was the recipient…
Travis Kelce ended his touchdown drought on Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs topped the Las Vegas Raiders, 27-20, to remain undefeated this season. Kelce hadn’t scored in the regular season since Nov. 20, 2023, against the Philadelphia Eagles – 12 games to be exact. He didn’t make it 13. Instead, Kelce found space in the end zone in the second quarter, and Patrick Mahomes threw a sharp pass for the score. The Chiefs took the lead at that point and never looked back. Kelce led the team with 10 catches for 90 yards. Mahomes was 27 of-38 with 262…
Jeff Ulbrich, the New York Jets’ interim coach who took over the team three weeks ago following Robert Saleh’s unexpected termination, stood at the microphone, eyes glassy and voice cracking at moments. He was attempting to make sense of a once-promising season that now seemed to be lost. “I’m pissed; they’re pissed,” Ulbrich remarked of the teammates. “I’m hurt; they’re hurt.” The Jets (2-6) lost their fifth straight game, a demoralising 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots (2-6) on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. It was one of the franchise’s lowest times in recent memory, and Ulbrich described it in…

Kupp, who had been out since spraining his ankle in Week 2, finished with five catches for 51 yards…
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Minnesota Vikings 30-20 on “Thursday Night Football.” The Rams returned two crucial players from injury, wide receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee), and scored a season-high 30 points against the Vikings, who entered the game rated first in defensive DVOA. Los Angeles only saw its top two receivers on the field together in the season opener before Nacua injured his knee in the loss. Kupp hurt his ankle the next week, and the offence struggled to find consistency without the pair on the field. The return of Kupp and Nacua freed up…
