Struggling offense, costly mistakes continue to haunt Patriots in 21-17 loss to Raiders

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:25:40 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The New England Patriots finally found some offense.Unfortunately for them, they also ran into the same self-inflicted mistakes that have haunted them most of the season during Sunday’s 21-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.The Patriots are 1-5 for the first time with Bill Belichick as coach. It’s been an inept offense that has driven into the red zone just twice in its past 33 possessions. The loss came against a Raiders defense that came into the game allowing opposing offenses to score on 41.2% of their drives — 11th highest in the league.“We had our chances today,” New England coach Bill Belichick said. “We got to play better and coach better.”The offense gained just 259 yards and generated only 4.6 yards per play.Quarterback Mac Jones was 24 of 33 for 200 yards but also threw a costly interception in the second quarter with the Patriots driving. Rolling to his right, Jones misfired while targeting a wide-open Hunter Henry.Instead, he overshot Henry and Raiders sa...

Church travel group from Salem back in US after evacuation from pilgrimage trip to Israel

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:25:40 GMT

A church travel group from Salem with dozens of members is back home after being evacuated early from a pilgrimage trip to Israel due to the nation’s ongoing conflict with Hamas.At least 30 Americans are confirmed dead and more than 15 are still unaccounted for Sunday night as federal officials say getting American hostages back safely following Hamas’ surprise attack is a top priority.More than 30 members of Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish in Salem returned home on Sunday.The church’s pastor, the Rev. Robert Murray, said “We ran into an extraordinary amount of violence in a dangerous situation, so of course we had to change our plans.” He added, “We feel very fortunate, and very blessed that we came home, but we know that we left behind a lot of people who are suffering. A lot of people who are in the mist of the violence.”

Patriots took odd approach to pregame warmups with backup QB

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:25:40 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Undrafted rookie Malik Cunningham was the Patriots’ backup quarterback in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders, but it certainly didn’t look that way before the game.Cunningham first spent pregame warmups with kick returners catching kicks. Then he worked with wide receivers running routes. Then he caught warmup tosses from quarterback Mac Jones before handing the football back to emergency quarterback Bailey Zappe to throw back across the field. And then when the full team convened, Jones was the only quarterback to work under center while Cunningham repped at wide receiver. Cunningham did play catch with teammates earlier in warmups.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | How Patriots’ Mac Jones, DeVante Parker reacted to momentous late-game drop New England Patriots | Callahan: It’s time for the Patriots to start selling New England Patriots | Patriots can’t complete comeback, fall to Raiders ...

X-rays on Justin Fields’ hand were negative, but the Chicago Bears wait to see if he or Tyson Bagent will start next

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:25:40 GMT

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields wanted to return to Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, coach Matt Eberflus said.But Fields couldn’t grip the football because of the right hand injury he suffered during a third-quarter sack and was sidelined for the rest of the 19-13 Bears loss.Whether Fields will miss more time is now the major question. The X-rays on Fields’ hand were negative for any fracture, but the Bears are awaiting the results of an MRI. Fox Sports and NFL Network reported Fields dislocated his thumb.“We’ll know more information tomorrow,” Eberflus said.In a 1-5 season that has become so much about determining whether Fields is the Bears’ quarterback of the future, those test results are perhaps more crucial than the final result on the field Sunday. Eberflus said Fields’ demeanor after the game was “great.”“He goes, ‘Coach, we’ll see where it is tomorrow,’ Eber...

Mac Jones, offense cost Patriots again with late-game failures at Las Vegas

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:25:40 GMT

Before they could take their first offensive snap Sunday, the Patriots went backwards with a false start.The next time they lined up, they were lucky to stay put after a Trent Brown penalty the Raiders declined.At the end of the loss, the Pats again went backwards, this time for good.Las Vegas drove a stake into the heart of the Patriots’ season by dropping Mac Jones for a safety at the end of a 21-17 home win. The safety served as the final stroke of a masterpiece of offensive failure, another game doomed by Jones and Co..Moments earlier, Jones was flagged for a delay of game penalty. The play prior, DeVante Parker dropped a 40-yard bomb that would have put the Patriots on the doorstep of field goal range in a 2-point game. Before that, rookie left guard Atonio Mafi was whistled for holding, which negated two small gains that started the drive.That stretch captured a broken unit undone again by late-game sacks and penalties; the same story that unfolded in Weeks 1 and 2 versu...
