Vikings and Raiders meet with both hoping to stay on a path to the playoffs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:36:24 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The paths Minnesota and Las Vegas took to get to this point in the NFL season have not been an easy one.Both teams have had upheaval — backup quarterbacks now starting for each club, a coaching change for the Raiders — and this game will be quite telling where their seasons go from here.More is on the line for the Vikings because at 6-6 they have a more realistic chance at a playoff spot given how the NFC standings line up.Like the Raiders, they come off two losses and a bye, and the Vikings’ timing for the stretch run is especially fortuitous given wide receiver Justin Jefferson returns after missing the past seven games because of a hamstring injury.But instead of catching passes from Kirk Cousins — out since tearing an Achilles tendon on Oct. 29 — Joshua Dobbs will be behind center. Coach Kevin O’Connell decided to stick with Dobbs, who threw four interceptions Nov. 27 against Chicago. Three of those passes were deflected, however, and Dobbs did win h...

MILAN (AP) — Italian melodrama’s official recognition as a global cultural treasure was celebrated Thursday during La Scala’s season premiere of Verdi’s “Don Carlo,” with some of the drama spilling out into the theater with a pair of anti-fascist cries before the curtain went up.
