49ers pregame: Win would clinch a top-two seed; Aaron Banks active

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:28:36 GMT

LANDOVER, Md. — Left guard Aaron Banks and No. 3 cornerback Ambry Thomas will suit up today as the 49ers look to close in on a top playoff seed.Banks (toe) and Thomas (hand, knee) were questionable because of injuries from Monday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens.If the 49ers (11-4) beat the Commanders (4-11), then that secures at least the No. 2 seed, and it keeps the 49ers in position to secure the NFC’s No. 1 seed.A 49ers’ win could also yield the No. 1 seed as soon as this afternoon, but only if the Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) lose at home to the Arizona Cardinals (3-12). Both games kick off at 10 a.m. PT.If the 49ers lose a second straight game, that will create a slew of other scenarios, though it would not outright lose them a shot at the No. 1 seed to the Eagles. Next weekend, the 49ers finish the regular season at home against the Los Angeles Rams (8-7). Other NFC finales of interest next weekend: the Eagles at the New York Giants (5-10), the Detro...

California new laws for 2024: speed cameras and cruising allowed

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:28:36 GMT

(BCN) -- Two new laws taking effect Jan. 1 could affect safety on California's roads.Cameras at intersections across California already flag drivers who run red lights. Under one law, six cities can begin a pilot program to catch and fine speeding drivers with cameras, with hopes to curb the number of traffic deaths. Las Vegas Countdown to 2024: How to watch the New Year’s Eve extravaganza Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach, and San Francisco have the authority to launch speed camera pilot programs that will last five years or until Jan. 1, 2032 (whichever date is sooner). After a 60-day introductory period of issuing only warnings to violators, fines will start at $50 for drivers who go at least 11 mph over the speed limit -- though amounts can be reduced depending on income.Money from the fines will go toward covering the cost of the programs, as well as "traffic calming measures," such as raised crosswalks and speed tables that slow down drivers. Cities must ...

Sarr scores but then goes off with injury in Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth in Premier League

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:28:36 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Pape Sarr opened the scoring for Tottenham in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday before going off with an injury that could put his African Cup of Nations participation in doubt. Son Heung-min doubled the lead with his 12th league goal of the season as Spurs rebounded from a 4-2 loss at Brighton on Thursday to move within one point of fourth-place Arsenal. Sarr gave the hosts the lead in the ninth minute by rifling a shot into the bottom corner from 18 yards. But the Senegal international left the field in tears with an injury in the 32nd, just two weeks before the start of the African Cup. Tottenham then had to wait until the 71st minute for a second goal.Giovani Lo Celso was the architect with a superb throughball with the outside of his boot to set up Son, who found the bottom corner.Richarlison then made the points safe 10 minutes from time when he swept home Brennan Johnson’s cross in a carbon copy of his goal against Everton.Substitute Ale...

MATAMOROS, México — Los representantes de los gobiernos de Estados Unidos y México se reunirán en enero en Washington para avanzar en los esfuerzos para hacer frente al creciente flujo migratorio, que se ha convertido en un dolor de cabeza para el gobierno de Joe Biden en medio de la campaña electoral estadounidense.Ese fue uno de los puntos acordados en el encuentro que sostuvo el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador con el secretario de Estado estadounidense Antony Blinken, señaló un comunicado conjunto de ambos gobiernos que se dio a conocer el jueves.La reunión coincidió con el desmantelamiento que realizaron autoridades mexicanas de un precario campamento de tiendas de campaña abandonadas por migrantes ubicado a lo largo del río Bravo en la localidad fronteriza de Matamoros, evento que probablemente podría ser una señal de las acciones que se avecinan del lado de México para atender el creciente número de migrantes que llegan a la frontera sur de Estados Unidos.El cierre temp...

Arsenal misses chance to go top of Premier League with 2-1 loss at Fulham

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:28:36 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal fell to a second straight loss with a 2-1 defeat at Fulham on Sunday, missing out on a chance to end the year atop the Premier League table.Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead after just five minutes, but the visitors were toothless after that as Raul Jimenez equalized in the first half and Bobby De Cordova-Reid poked in the winner in the 59th.Arsenal topped the standings at Christmas but enters 2024 in fourth place after this defeat followed its first home loss of the season against West Ham on Thursday. A win at Fulham would have lifted Mikel Arteta’s team provisionally above leader Liverpool in a tightly packed top four.But the Gunners have won just one of their last five league games and this was perhaps the most listless performance in that stretch. Arteta will have to ponder whether to look for attacking reinforcements in the January transfer window after his team struggled to create any quality chances after its early goal – even after switching to a back ...
