Upon Further Review: Broncos left points on the field in critical red zone situation

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:15 GMT

Throughout Russell Wilson’s somber news conference after Denver’s 17-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, he kept echoing that the team was one or two plays away from winning its season opener.Yes, Denver’s penalties, special teams issues and defensive miscues down the stretch received most of the criticism. But the offense left points on the field, especially in a critical red zone situation early in the fourth quarter.With 10:19 to go in regulation, running back Samaje Perine bulldozed through the Raiders defense for a 12-yard run to Las Vegas’ 8-yard line. Suddenly, Denver stopped pounding the rock. Wilson’s pass to tight end Adam Trautman was short of the goal line. His throw to wide receiver Brandon Johnson was broken up by Raiders linebacker Divine Deablo, who could’ve intercepted the pass.Wilson’s third pass didn’t even have a chance, as he soared the ball out of bounds after getting pressured by Maxx Crosby. Denver settled for a 24-yard field goal from kicker Wil Lutz...

Trump files to have DC judge recuse from election subversion case

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:15 GMT

By Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Lawyers for Donald Trump on Monday asked the federal judge presiding over his election subversion case in Washington to recuse herself, saying her past public statements about the former president and his connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol call into question whether she can be fair.The recusal motion from Trump’s lawyers takes aim at U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a former assistant public defender who was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama and has stood out as one of the toughest punishers of Jan. 6 defendants. The request is a long shot given the high threshold for recusal and because the decision on whether to recuse belongs to Chutkan, who is unlikely to see cause to step aside from the case.Even so, the request that she give up the high-stakes trial marks the latest flashpoint in already delicate relations between the defense team and the judge, who has repeatedl...
