Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:28:35 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When the Indianapolis Colts watch video of prior matchups against Derrick Henry, they see a whole lot of failure.They’ve spent seven years trying to slow down the powerful 6-foot-3, 247-pound, two-time NFL rushing champ, and nothing seems to work.The Tennessee star has run through them, around them, even stiff-armed them for seven 100-yard outings in 14 career games against Indy. And if the Colts want to snap their five-game losing streak to the Titans, the defensive game plan is no secret.“With Tennessee, you know (coach Mike) Vrabel is going to have them ready to play, that they’re going to rally behind No. 22,” Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin said, referring to Henry’s jersey number.Henry had 1,287 yards against Indy (2-2) — although the Titans’ AFC South rivals Houston and Jacksonville have allowed even more yards to the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner.In his last seven games against the Colts, Henry has topped 100 yards six times.

Chargers using the bye week to look forward to what lies ahead the rest of the season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:28:35 GMT

Teams usually go into the bye week looking back at their accomplishments. Brandon Staley, though, is trying to look ahead.After four games, Staley’s Los Angeles Chargers squad is on its earliest in-season break since 2009. Instead of the usual intensive self-scouting done during bye weeks, Staley said his staff will focus on the remaining three-quarters of the season.“Maybe a little bit more think-tank of what we want our team to look like here in the weeks after the bye, and then projecting to the end of the season, instead of saying, ‘Hey, I have all of this assessment for like half the season, where I have eight or nine games of inventory to look at,'” Staley said. “We have a much shorter inventory to go by.”The Chargers continued to be plagued by some of the same issues exhibited throughout Staley’s first two seasons. They have held double-digit leads in three games, only to see them go down to the final minute. After losing in overtime at Tennessee in Week 2, Los An...

As FOX31 first reported Wednesday night, the city of Denver does not​ treat all these encampments the same. Some of them do not get offered the same relocation services as others. We pressed the mayor's office to explain why.
