Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:16 GMT

DETROIT — Almost nothing good happened to Denver over the course of a 42-17 shellacking by the Lions here on Saturday night.But the Broncos also are still very much alive in the AFC postseason picture.Sure, a win would have bolstered Denver’s credentials, but if they were going to lose a game over their final five, this was the one to lose.The challenge, then, is to forget this one ever happened.Except, not right away, defensive tackle D.J. Jones insists.“No, not necessarily,” he said after the game. “We’ll put this behind us tomorrow as a unit, but it’s not easy to just move on. It’s a loss.“We’ll correct it, then move on.”The 24-hour rule applies regardless of how thoroughly you get beat down or how critical the final three games of the season are.Here’s a clean picture of the Broncos’ situation: According to the New York Times’ playoff prediction models, Denver’s chances Saturday night dropped from 42% to 31%. If they win their final thre...

New information released about 3 Israeli hostages killed by Israeli troops

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:16 GMT

Three Israeli hostages who were mistakenly shot by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip had been waving a white flag and were shirtless when they were killed, military officials said Saturday, in Israel's first such acknowledgment of harming any hostages in its war against Hamas.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a nationwide address that the killings “broke my heart, broke the entire nation’s heart,” but he indicated no change in Israel’s intensive military campaign. “We are as committed as ever to continue until the end, until we dismantle Hamas, until we return all our hostages,” he said.Anger over the mistaken killings is likely to increase pressure on the Israeli government to renew Qatar-mediated negotiations with Hamas over swapping more of the remaining captives, which Israel says number 129, for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel.
