The Colts will become the first team to not have a bye week after traveling overseas: they play the Jaguars in London on October 2 followed by a home game against the Bears on October 9. This would seem to be a major disadvantage considering all of the travel that takes place, and that’s exactly what the NFL wants to look at.

Instead, they flopped. Indianapolis lost to Jacksonville 26-11. Quarterback Carson Wentz was poor, failing to reach the 200 passing yards against a porous Jags defense. Now, Wentz is gone. In his stead is Matt Ryan, a one-time NFL MVP who is clearly past his prime but still appears to have a lot to offer. The Colts also have first-team All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor. So, what does that mean for Indianapolis’ chances in 2022?...
On a night when Carson Wentz struggled — he completed 5 of 12 passes for 57 yards — Taylor, the defense and the special teams bailed out Indianapolis. MORE: NFL Week 15 odds, predictions The Colts led 17-0 at halftime after scoring two touchdowns late in the first quarter, including one on a blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone. Taylor totaled 170 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries, while the defense recorded two interceptions, a sack and four tackles for loss....
WEEK 12 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Colts: Who to start or sit in fantasy football on Thursday night Start: QB Jacoby Brissett The Texans’ secondary is beat up and not very good. Brissett put up 326 yards and four TDs against Houston in the first meeting between this two teams. The road rematch may be a little tougher, but he should end up with multiple combined TDs and give you decent rushing production to be a back-end QB1....
Tortorella directed his scorn toward how the officials handled the clock in overtime. After the Blackhawks were penalized for having too many men on the ice, the clock appeared to briefly continue to run after the whistle was blown. The time was not put back on the clock. Columbus’ Zach Werenski went on to score what seemed to be the game-winner, except time had expired slightly before the puck crossed the goal line....
Artur, 20, came up through Sao Paulo’s academy, and made his first-team debut in 2016. He went on to make four total appearances for the senior side while also spending time with the club’s U-20 team. “Artur is a young, dynamic player who was a key contributor to a Sao Paulo FC program that is one of the most decorated in South America, winning trophies at the state, national and confederation level,” Crew coach Gregg Berhalter said in a news release....
Americans in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia, have the day off paid, but retailers remain open. Banks and financial organizations close, as does the U.S. Postal Service. However, the financial stock markets and some couriers remain open and operational. So whether you’re after something snug for winter, a new mattress for your Fall-themed bedroom or need to stock up on some sports gear, there’s a deal for everyone this federal holiday....
On August 13, Dan Magennis, 65, dialed Comcast to talk about his cable service. But the call didn’t last long. “He said his name really clear—Daniel—and then he just got quiet,” Williams, 32, told the Mississippi Clarion Ledger. “He was talking to me but I could not understand him. Then, his words got slurred.” Then Williams said she heard a crash, like Magennis had fallen. Something told her he was having a stroke....
A bad case of metropollyanna, that one. Not quite as insulting as the proposal by a couple of clowns from Rutgers University to turn my home into a Buffalo Commons, and certainly not as demeaning as the idea that we’re so hard up out here that we’d seek the honor of burying New York’s garbage in our backyards in exchange for a few jobs driving the bulldozers. But the attitude is the same and the diagnosis fits....
Following mounting pressure from Democrats to launch a formal inquiry into the president and in the wake of whistleblower allegations that claim Trump attempted to encourage Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate a potential political rival, Pelosi said: “The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law.” And reactions to the announcement were not limited to the political sphere, with Pelosi apparently providing reams of new material for popular comedians....
That’s right: The Commanders are amending their much-criticized crest — part of the worst-kept rebranding secret in sports — to avoid confusion over the franchise’s championship seasons. The original features five years along the bottom of the new circular logo: 1937, 1942, 1983, 1988 and 1992. Problem is, the Redskins didn’t win the Super Bowl in any of the latter three years: They did make the Super Bowl in the 1983 season, where they lost 38-9 to the Raiders....
For most, a bacterial infection after surgery is relatively minor and leads to redness or pus in or around the incision. These infections are typically easily treated. More serious infections can be more challenging to treat and can lead to an extended hospital stay and serious illness. It is these more severe infections that enter the bloodstream, urinary or respiratory tract, and the infection may move outside of the surgical site or even begin in an unrelated part of the body....
The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that a 237-member panel led by President Hu Jintao and other senior leaders approved a final list of candidates after more than two days of consultations with the 2,200 rank-and-file delegates to the congress. On Sunday, the months of politicking over senior posts will near its end when the delegates vote for a Central Committee that will in turn select the new leadership lineup to run the country....
After SB202 was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp on March 25, voting rights activists and religious leaders in Georgia called out companies that did not strongly denounce the legislation. Bishop Reginald Thomas Jackson of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and other religious leaders announced a national boycott of Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Home Depot scheduled to take effect on April 7, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC)....
Conley Thompson died in 2015 after falling into a vertical pipe on the Church View site a mile from his home in Worsbrough, England. He was able to sneak onto the dangerous building site because three-quarters of the fencing surrounding it was “inadequate,” a court heard. Bosses at Howard Civil Engineering knew there was a substantial risk of trespass as the site was a “magnet for children,” Sheffield Crown Court was told....
The company has pledged to challenge the ruling. It also said the ruling would not change its “commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity for all.” On August 5, 2013, Novant Health Inc. hired David Duvall to serve as the company’s senior vice president of marketing and communications. Then, on July 30, 2018, the company fired him without warning, he said in court documents. Novant’s severance plan said that any executive terminated without cause would, “under normal circumstances,” receive 30 days’ notice, Duvall’s lawsuit stated....
Now Europe’s answer to Microsoft is at the heart of another paradigm shift, as the rise of the Internet turns the software industry on its head once again. Tucked away in sleepy Walldorf (population: 14,445), SAP engineers are busy building the next generation of corporate software–Web-based technology that will make today’s desktop systems look as slow and inflexible as the giant mainframes of old. CEO Henning Kagermann–a thoughtful former university professor as far removed from the celebrity CEOs of Silicon Valley as bratwurst is from a California roll–has set some incredibly ambitious new goals for the €8....
Hosted by Honduras, the tournament not only handed out four berths for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Indonesia (to the four semifinalists), but it will also determined the two teams that will participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris (the two finalists). The USA, defending champions of this competition after winning the most recent edition held in 2018, became the first team to clinch a semifinal berth and a ticket to the 2023 World Cup....
The New York native has represented his parents’ homeland since 2015, but saw his first major minutes for Les Grenadiers this month as they looked to book a place in a playoff to qualify for the Gold Cup. To do that, they had to get past Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. Haiti dominated Suriname but allowed two late goals in a 4-2 victory. That meant Haiti would advance with a win, a draw or a defeat by fewer than two goals against Trinidad and Tobago thanks to goal difference....
