By JOHN COON SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Nick DeSimone scored the tiebreaking goal 7: 32 into the third period and the Utah Mammoth beat the scuffling New York Rangers 3-2 on Saturday night to snap a four-game losing streak. JJ Peterka and Clayton Keller also scored for the Mammoth, who overcame a 2-1 deficit in their seventh comeback victory this season. Karel Vejmelka made 20 saves. Vladislav Gavrikov and Artemi Panarin scored for the Rangers, who have lost four consecutive games all in regulation and three by one goal. They finished 0-3 on their Western Conference road swing. Jonathan Quick stopped 31 shots in a terrific performance for New York. DeSimone scored unassisted off a deflection for his second goal this season and first game-winner. Utah struck first on Peterka’s goal at the 10: 08 of the first period. Peterka poked in the puck with his stick from behind Quick’s skate. Gavrikov tied it at 15: 19 when Adam Fox’s pass redirected off the shaft of his stick. Panarin gave the Rangers the lead at 8: 07 of the second when he scored on a breakaway, with the puck squeezing through Vejmelka and dribbling across the goal line after he initially made the stop. Keller pulled the Mammoth even following a takeaway by Kailer Yamamoto, snapping the puck over Quick from close range at 11: 15. DeSimone fired a slap shot off the shin pad of a Rangers player to put Utah ahead. Up next Rangers: Host the St. Louis Blues on Monday night. Mammoth: Host the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. ___.

Jordan Johnson’s pick-6 sends Wagner on its way to 20-14 win over Stonehill

NEW YORK (AP) — Jordan Johnson’s 30-yard pick-6 opened the scoring, and Wagner led the rest of the way in a 20-14 win over Stonehill on Saturday.

The Seahawks (5-6, 4-2 Northeast Conference) have won four consecutive games for the first time since Wagner’s nine-game winning streak in 2012. Johnson’s first-quarter interception return for a touchdown was Wagner’s first pick-6 since Zachary Ricci went 49 yards for a score against Stonehill earlier in 2023.

Andre Hines extended the Seahawks’ lead to 16-7 late in the third quarter with a 9-yard touchdown run. Nicholas Romero added the second of his two field goals early in the fourth quarter, pushing the lead to 13 points.

Hines was the offensive standout for Wagner, rushing for 139 yards on 26 carries. Overall, Wagner finished with 245 yards of offense—just two yards fewer than the Skyhawks.

Stonehill (3-8, 2-4) narrowed the gap to 20-13 when Joshua Roberson broke free for a 31-yard touchdown run with nine minutes remaining in the game.

Zavion Woodard led the Skyhawks on the ground with 90 yards on 10 carries. Quarterback Jack O’Connell threw for 89 yards, recorded an interception, and scored on a 1-yard rushing touchdown.

Wagner’s defense and balanced offense proved enough to hold off Stonehill for the victory.

Wisconsin snaps 10-game Big Ten losing streak with upset win over No. 23 Washington as punter leads team in passing

Wisconsin Finally Secures a Big Ten Win, Thanks to Punter Sean West’s Unconventional Contribution

The Wisconsin Badgers snapped a daunting 10-game Big Ten conference losing streak with a hard-fought 13-10 victory over No. 23 Washington. Remarkably, this breakthrough win featured punter Sean West leading the team in passing, highlighting a unique and memorable performance for Wisconsin.

The Badgers’ Conference Struggles

Wisconsin’s conference losing streak stretched back to October 19, 2024. The team ended the 2024 season on a five-game skid and opened 2025 with another five consecutive conference losses. This lengthy drought had placed significant pressure on the program and its coaching staff.

Coaching Stability Amid Uncertainty

Just days before the win, Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh confirmed that head coach Luke Fickell would return for the 2026 season. Fickell’s future had been uncertain throughout the rough stretch, but McIntosh publicly voiced his support in September, providing some reassurance to fans and players alike.

The Game: Scoring and Key Plays

Wisconsin scored the final 10 points to secure the victory. Carter Smith tied the game at 10-10 during the third quarter before kicker Nathanial Vakos nailed a go-ahead field goal with 1:58 remaining in the third. Washington missed a crucial field goal on the following drive, and both teams combined for four more drives that resulted in no points. Wisconsin ultimately ran out the clock over 22 plays, covering 69 yards amid cold rain and snowflakes.

Sean West’s Surprising Passing Role

One of the game’s standout moments was punter Sean West leading Wisconsin in passing yards. West was one of four Badgers players to attempt a pass on Saturday and caught the spotlight with a 24-yard completion to Jackson Acker on a fake punt early in the third quarter. This single play accounted for half of Wisconsin’s total passing yards.

Quarterback Performance and Injuries

The team’s quarterbacks struggled for much of the game. Hunter Simmons, Carter Smith, and Danny O’Neil combined to complete just 5 of 17 passes for 24 yards. O’Neil, who began the season as the backup but took over starting duties after Billy Edwards’ Week 1 knee injury, threw only two passes before leaving the game with a lower-body injury.

Freshman Carter Smith stepped in and played the entire second half, going 3 for 12 passing for 8 yards. Simmons also contributed late in the first half, completing 2 of 3 passes for 16 yards.

Defense Seals the Win

Wisconsin’s defense played a critical role in the victory, forcing two turnovers and limiting Washington’s explosive offense to just 251 total yards. The Huskies’ lone touchdown came on a 1-yard drive following a blocked punt recovered near the end zone.

Looking Ahead

This long-awaited Big Ten win could be a turning point for Wisconsin football, providing renewed confidence and momentum as they move forward in the season. With strong defensive play and creative special teams efforts like West’s passing, the Badgers have shown resilience and adaptability on their path back to competitiveness.

Eyes fresh six-month highs near 1.4150 within overbought zone

USD/CAD continues its winning streak for the seventh consecutive day, trading around 1.4120 during the European hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a prevailing bullish bias, with the pair remaining within the ascending channel pattern.

The short-term price momentum is strengthening as the pair rises above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned at the 70 level, suggesting a strong bullish bias but also signaling that the pair lies within overbought territory. This raises the possibility of a near-term downward correction.

The USD/CAD pair may test the fresh seven-month high of 1.4140, reached on November 5. A break above this level would pave the way for the pair to explore the area around the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 1.4230.

On the downside, the primary support lies at the psychological level of 1.4100, followed by the nine-day EMA at 1.4067. Further declines below this level could dampen short-term price momentum and prompt the USD/CAD pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3954, followed by the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 1.3940.

Jonathan Taylor has 72 yards, Colts lead Titans 17-7 at halftime

The Colts started Sunday’s matchup against the Titans strong, building a 17-7 lead by halftime. Michael Badgley opened the scoring with a 43-yard field goal, followed by Jonathan Taylor capping Indianapolis’ second possession with an 18-yard touchdown run. Later, receiver Michael Pittman made a spectacular one-armed catch to extend the Colts’ lead to 17 points midway through the second quarter.

However, after that, the Titans’ defense stiffened, forcing the Colts to punt on consecutive possessions. Notably, as highlighted by the CBS broadcast, Roger McCreary’s sack of Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (Jones) midway through the second quarter marked the first time all season that Richardson had been sacked on third down. Then, Richardson was brought down again during Indianapolis’ two-minute drill, making it only the second game this season where he was sacked multiple times.

This defensive pressure gave the Titans an opportunity to narrow the gap before halftime. Unfortunately for Tennessee, Joey Slye’s 58-yard field goal attempt veered well to the right and missed. Earlier in the second quarter, Cam Ward connected on a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Gunnar Helm, which accounted for Tennessee’s only points in the half.

By halftime, Ward had completed 8 of 13 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. On the other side, the Colts had amassed 205 total yards and 14 first downs but struggled on third down, converting just 1 of 4 attempts. Richardson was 13-of-19 passing for 146 yards and a touchdown, while Jonathan Taylor had rushed for 72 yards on eight carries, most of which came in the first quarter.

The Colts won the opening coin toss and chose to receive, meaning the Titans will start with the ball at the beginning of the third quarter.

Jets insider slams ‘petrified’ coaching of Justin Fields

Posted on by
Reply

The New York Jets look like the worst team in the NFL. Currently, New York is the only winless team in the league at 0-7 heading into Week 8. Their struggles continued as they got off to a poor start against a beatable Cincinnati Bengals team on Sunday.

At the center of the controversy is, once again, Justin Fields. ESPN’s Rich Cimini didn’t hold back in criticizing both the team’s coaching staff and Fields himself after the slow start against the Bengals. “Three possessions: 19 total yards. The coaches are petrified to have Fields drop back,” Cimini wrote. “He has 2 pass attempts, both behind the line of scrimmage. Can’t run an offense this way.”

New York’s passing game has been heavily scrutinized all season, but the criticism intensified after Fields’ subpar performance against Denver in Week 6. The Jets have struggled to unlock their deep passing game with Fields under center. Instead, the team, led by defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, has spent most of its time focusing on running the football and attempting short passes.

The raw stats paint a grim picture of the Jets’ offensive woes. Coming into Sunday’s matchup, New York ranks last in the NFL in passing yards per game, averaging just 143.4 yards. They have also allowed the most sacks in the league, with 31 given up so far.

While Fields has shown efficiency when running the ball—averaging 6.1 yards per carry—the Jets have not schematically taken advantage of this strength. This hesitancy is proving costly to their overall offensive performance.

Early in the second quarter of Sunday’s game, Fields was 4-of-4 for 23 passing yards but had yet to complete a pass to a wide receiver or tight end. With the Jets trailing 17-3, they appear headed for their eighth consecutive loss.
