Houston’s offense sputters with C.J. Stroud out in 36-22 loss to Browns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:29:26 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Case Keenum and the Houston Texans’ offense couldn’t do anything Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in their second game without star rookie C.J. Stroud.Keenum managed just 62 yards passing and threw two interceptions before being replaced by Davis Mills late in the 36-22 loss. Stroud remains out while recovering from a concussion he sustained Dec. 10.“We just didn’t do enough today,” Keenum said. “We got our butts kicked and that’s never fun. I hadn’t had it like that in a while.”After squeaking out a 19-16 overtime win at Tennessee last week, Houston struggled from the start Sunday and didn’t score on offense until the fourth quarter.“When we had positive plays, we ended up having a negative play,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “It just seemed like we couldn’t get out of our own way. And when you continue to hurt yourself, the self-inflicted penalties, negative yardage, sacks, those plays just keep you behind the chains and it’s hard to keep up versus a very good defens...

Un equipo de investigadores japoneses diseñó un robot para combatir incendios inspirado en los dragones voladores, con una manguera de cuatro metros (13 pies) de largo que puede cambiar de forma y es manejable a distancia.Los detalles de este prototipo, llamado Dragon Firefighter (bombero dragón), se publican en la revista Frontiers in Robotics and AI, en un artículo firmado, entre otros, por científicos de la Universidad de Osaka y la de Tohoku.“Imagina un dragón volador que no lanza fuego, sino que lo apaga con ráfagas de agua”, resume la revista. El objetivo es ayudar a extinguir incendios que son demasiado peligrosos para que los humanos se acerquen.La manguera se propulsa hacia arriba (volando a dos metros del suelo) mediante ocho chorros de agua controlables que brotan de su centro y su cabeza; esta puede cambiar de forma y orientarse hacia las llamas, dirigida por una unidad de control en un carro.Este está conectado a través de un tubo de suministro a un camión d...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Sam Howell had a chance to clear some of the doubts as to whether he can be the Washington Commanders’ quarterback of the future.A second straight benching has only intensified them.Howell was replaced in the third quarter Sunday by Jacoby Brissett, who led the Commanders on three straight touchdown drives to help Washington erase a 20-point deficit and take a late lead before falling 30-28 to the New York Jets on Greg Zuerlein’s 54-yard field goal with 5 seconds left.“It was tough,” Commanders coach Ron Rivera said. “We didn’t help (Howell) early. We dropped a couple of balls that we probably should have caught. Your confidence sometimes can get shaken. That’s what I started to feel in the second half and I was really concerned.“That’s why I made the decision that I did.”Howell certainly didn’t help himself a week after being benched in Washington’s 28-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.Rivera stuck with Howell, who came in le...
