SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The 49ers’ have the NFL’s best defense this season. That’s not up for debate anymore. But with Jimmy Garoppolo’s season-ending injury and rookie Brock Purdy taking over as the Niners’ first-string quarterback, it’s also beyond debate that the Niners’ defense cannot slip…

The Vikings took a 20-6 lead into halftime on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, and with the second-half kickoff coming their way, they seemed in position to pull away from the Jets and get their first comfortable victory since Week 1 against the Packers. They ended the day doing everything they could to contain a frantic Jets rally in a 27-22 win, holding New York to 10 points on four ...
Two weeks ago, following the Jets’ 10-3 loss against the Patriots, Jets coach Robert Saleh declined to commit to Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback. Days later, Saleh benched Wilson for backup quarterback Mike White.

The Carolina Panthers and Baker Mayfield got a quickie divorce Monday.

By ...

Rigid limits on alcohol are a fact of life in this conservative Muslim nation on the Arabian Peninsula.
ROSHARON, Texas — On the very first two Carolina Panthers teams, in 1995 and 1996, Lamar Lathon was my favorite defensive player to watch. Sam Mills was steadier. Kevin Greene, once he got there in 1996, was a purer pass rusher. Those two both ended up as Pro Football Hall of Famers. But Lathon? He was more explosive than either of them. My gosh, what a player. A 6-foot-3, 265-pound Adonis of ...

Usually. On occasion, ...

This time of year seems to be when the games become more interesting, as there is far more of a sense of urgency. The one game that is rather meaningless in the grand scheme of things is Browns-Texans, as neither team is in the playoff hunt. I guess I should qualify ...
CHICAGO — Perhaps it would be in the Green Bay Packers’ best interest to put their four-time MVP quarterback on the shelf for the rest of 2022, to let Aaron Rodgers rest his battered ribs and take care of his broken right thumb. The Packers then could take a longer look at young Jordan Love and begin to make a more informed evaluation of their possible quarterback succession plan. Always good ...
PHILADELPHIA — On the night of April 28, moments after he heard about his trade from the Tennessee Titans to the Eagles, star wide receiver A.J.

PITTSBURGH — When Ben Roethlisberger retired after 18 seasons, it did more than bring to an end the longest chapter of one of the greatest players in Steelers history.
