Dolphins need to beat Titans so they can focus on longer-term goal of division title

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:30:58 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Coach Mike McDaniel’s Miami Dolphins have done a lot of winning this season: They’re 9-3 for the first time in 22 years and are tied for the best record in the AFC. They’ve outscored opponents 384-266 with an offense that leads the NFL in passing, yards per play, yards per rush and red-zone efficiency. What does McDaniel think of that?“Call me when it’s a 13-game season,” he said. “That’s all nice, but we have a job to do today. If we shortchange and are worried about anything other than the Tennessee Titans when we’re game planning … then all those conversations and stories literally don’t matter at all.”Hosting a playoff game is the Dolphins’ long-term goal as they try to close in on their first division title since 2008. This week’s only focus is beating the Tennessee Titans (4-8) on Monday night.The Titans have just one victory since Oct. 29 and are winless on the road. Coach Mike Vrabel has insisted his team will no...

Guyana ha acusado a Venezuela de buscar la “anexión” del Esequibo: ¿qué significa y qué ejemplos hay de anexiones?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:30:58 GMT

(CNN Español) — Al menos desde el Anschluss, la incorporación forzada del territorio de Austria al de Alemania en 1938, la sola mención de la palabra “anexión” suele generar tensiones e incertidumbre bajo la sombra del conflicto armado.Ahora, la palabra ha vuelto a ser invocada por el gobierno de Guyana, al asegurar que luego de un referendo consultivo organizado el domingo por Venezuela, Caracas busca la “anexión” del Esequibo, un territorio en disputa en el noreste de Sudamérica que controla Georgetown. También la Corte Penal Internacional ha utilizado el término, señalando que una anexión por Venezuela sería ilegal.En el referendo, de acuerdo con los resultados que anunció el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro, los votantes aprobaron la creación de un nuevo estado venezolano en el Esequibo. El martes, Maduro anunció que procedería de acuerdo con el resultado. El proyecto de ley para ello fue aprobado en primera discusión por la Asamblea Nacional.ANÁLISIS | ¿...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Zach Wilson was benched by the New York Jets to try to spark the offense.Two games later, there’s still barely a flicker.So, Wilson is back as the starter — again — and he’ll be under center Sunday when the Jets take on the Houston Texans.“I think that he’s had the two weeks off to re-center himself and learn and continually grow,” offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said Thursday. “I think that when we look at it from the very beginning of this season, the whole idea was for him to be able to sit back and learn from Aaron (Rodgers). “I think that those two weeks are something that he was able to do.”Wilson mostly struggled during his first two NFL seasons after being the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2021. That led to the Jets — convinced they were only a quarterback away from being playoff contenders — working out a deal to acquire Rodgers from Green Bay in the offseason.The plan for Wilson to absorb as much as he could from Rodgers fr...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers got back in the playoff race over the last month.
