D’Andre Swift takes center stage with 175 yards rushing and bails out Jalen Hurts and the Eagles

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:34:47 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Eagles had a pretty good running back in Miles Sanders. Sanders was steady, durable and even rushed for more than 1,200 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in a season that ended in the Super Bowl.But in the modern NFL, a good running back is as disposable as a cheap razor. It’s a pass-first, quarterback-driven league these days.So much so that elite running backs griped when teams this past offseason refused to give them the lucrative long-term contracts players such as the Giants’ Saquon Barkley thought they deserved.When Carolina offered Sanders a deal with $13 million in guaranteed money, the Eagles said, thanks for the memories, and let him loose. D’Andre Swift was available, after all, and the Eagles (2-0) were able to sign him for less than half the guaranteed money the Panthers are paying Sanders.Running behind a line anchored by Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson, the big men up front opened lanes as they always do, and Swift bailed out the Eagles on a ni...

An alderman facing criminal charges that he entered the U.S. Capitol with a mob of rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, has narrowly won the Republican mayoral primary in Connecticut’s smallest city following a recount on Friday.Gino DiGiovanni Jr. defeated three-term Mayor Richard Dziekan in the race in Derby, a city of 12,400 people about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of New York City.Following the recount, DiGiovanni retained the 10-vote lead he had after an initial ballot count in Tuesday’s primary, out of just under 400 cast. Races decided by less than 20 votes trigger an automatic recount.After the recount results were announced, he told reporters he thought the national attention being paid to his candidacy because of the federal charges will ultimately prove beneficial to Derby, especially when it comes to seeking state and federal grant money.“This is the first time in Derby’s history that this race is on a national scale. So I’ll take that, you know, any day of the week,” h...
