When New Orleans quarterback Derek Carr hit Chris Olave in the back of the end zone with 10:47 to go in the 2nd quarter, the Pats found themselves in a 21-0 hole.A sort of stunned silence/wave of acceptance fell over Gillette Stadium, where a ton of empty seats added mute testimony to the sad state of the 2023 New England Patriots, who fell to 1-4 in a 34-0 loss.This is how it looks when dynasties end. It’s like a slow leak that can’t be stopped until it’s a torrent of incompetence.It’s not pretty.This is where the Patriots find themselves this morning, and the road from here is bleak. Being 0-3 at home is bad enough. Going to Las Vegas next Sunday is an opportunity, albeit it’s also a chance to fall to 1-5. Last year’s visit ended in one of the most embarrassing losses in not just Pats history but NFL history.After that? Buffalo. That’s a loss.Then: At Miami. The Pats struggle there even when they are good.The 2023 Patriots are not good.Nov...Instant analysis from Ravens’ 17-10 loss to Pittsburgh Steelers

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 17-10 loss to the host Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday’s Week 5 game at Acrisure Stadium.Mike Preston: The Ravens aren’t ready for prime time yet. Their receivers couldn’t hold onto the ball, they couldn’t pass block at the end of the game, quarterback Lamar Jackson melted down under pressure and their defense couldn’t come up with a stop in crunch time. You want more? Please coach John Harbaugh, please allow Justin Tucker to kick a field goal at the end of the half.Childs Walker: What a disastrous loss. Lamar Jackson made his worst throw of the day for an interception when he had a chance to put the game away thanks to a Pittsburgh special teams fumble. Then, he fumbled to cost the Ravens their chance at a comeback. Will we remember it for those mishaps or for the incredible litany of errors by Jackson’s receivers?The Ravens dominated the first h...Mac Jones, Pats offense grinds to a halt

There wasn’t much joy in the Patriots locker room following a 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints.Rightly so. It was another impotent outing from the Pats, who have scored progressively fewer points in every game thus far, totaling just 55 on the season.For the second straight week, starting QB Mac Jones was benched late for backup Bailey Zappe, who for the second straight week did nothing to make his case to be the starter.The numbers don’t lie. Eight first downs (three coming via penalties). The Pats converted only 1 of 14 third-down situations. Dismal passing yards (111) was at least better than dismal rushing yards (45).With offensive numbers that horrible, the last thing the Patriots can afford right now is to turn the ball over. But Jones threw two picks and was credited with a fumble lost. The first interception came on the Pats’ second possession, a wounded duck throw under pressure that New Orleans defensive back Tyrann Mathieu went low to snag and returne...Bailey Zappe again didn’t appear like answer to Patriots’ biggest question

FOXBORO — The Patriots’ offense is in a state of disrepair and there currently doesn’t seem to be an answer to the unit’s biggest problem.For two straight weeks now, Mac Jones has been benched for backup quarterback Bailey Zappe.Head coach Bill Belichick wouldn’t put all of the blame on Jones after the team’s latest loss, a 34-0 shutout at the hands of the Saints, indicating that Jones would continue to be the team’s starter after the game.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Mac Jones benched again as Patriots get shut out by Saints 34-0 New England Patriots | Patriots lose three key players Week 3 vs. Saints New England Patriots | Patrots inactives: J.C.

NEW YORK — The data breach last month that MGM Resorts is calling a cyberattack is expected to cost the casino giant more than $100 million, the Las Vegas-based company said.The incident, which was detected on Sept. 10, led to MGM shutting down some casino and hotel computer systems at properties across the U.S., including Springfield in Massachusetts, in efforts to protect data.MGM said that reservations and casino floors in Las Vegas and other states were affected as customers shared stories on social media about not being able to make credit card transactions, obtain money from cash machines or enter hotel rooms.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The evacuation warning came shortly after dark. The Israeli military fired the shot just a short distance from Nasser Abu Quta’s home in the southern Gaza Strip, a precautionary measure meant to allow people to evacuate before airstrikes. Abu Quta, 57, thought he and his extended family would be safe some hundred meters (yards) away from the house that was alerted to the pending strike. He huddled with his relatives on the ground floor of his four-story building, bracing for an impact in the area.But the house of Abu Quta’s neighbor was never hit. In an instant, an explosion ripped through his own home, wiping out 19 members of his family, including his wife and cousins, he said. The airstrike also killed five of his neighbors who were standing outside in the jam-packed refugee camp, a jumble of buildings and alleyways.The airstrike in Rafah, a southern town on the border with Egypt, came as Israeli forces intensified their bombardment of targets in the Gaza...Global Affairs Canada aware of report of Canadian dead, 2 missing in Israel

AUSTIN (KXAN) — We're less than a week away from the first of two solar eclipses due to grace the skies over Central Texas. In April 2024, a total solar eclipse will plunge much of the area into darkness, but this Saturday, October 14 an "annular eclipse" will provide parts of Central Texas with a "ring of fire" view around the moon. An annular eclipse is different from a total solar eclipse, because at no time during an annular eclipse is the sun completely blocked, but in the path of annularity the moon is directly in the middle of the sun with light surrounding the moon like a halo. In a total solar eclipse, you'll see the sun completely blocked by the moon. FIRST WARNING WEATHER UNIVERSITY: THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ECLIPSES Where's the best viewing on Saturday?For most of us, drive south or west if you want to see the annular eclipse at its best, but for those of you in parts of the Hill Country you can stay right where you are!Path of Annular Eclipse over Central TexasNational...Latest news
