Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:05:09 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers are Super Bowl contenders once again. All they needed was a three-game skid, a bye week and a cross-country trip to Jacksonville to get back on track.Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes, including a 66-yarder to George Kittle, and the Niners seemingly fixed all their woes with a 34-3 drubbing of the streaking Jaguars on Sunday.“We know who we are. We know what we’re capable of,” defensive tackle Arik Armstead said. “We have an extremely high standard for ourselves. Bigger than any people or any outside people can put on us.“We want to be great. We want to be dominant, and we want to play at a high level. And we know our team is going to need us to do that.”Deebo Samuel returned from a three-game absence and added a 23-yard scoring run for the 49ers (6-3), who stopped Jacksonville’s five-game winning streak and reestablished themselves as a favorite in the NFC.San Francisco dominated both lines of scrimmage and ...

It’s a long year. What are we this week? Three? That’s darn good too.”“I think it was a good (week), it gets you off on the right note,” Clark said. “But our group is mature enough ...

Running backs shine early, defense shines late as Steelers slip past Green Bay with 23-19 victory

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:05:09 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Najee Harris stopped paying attention to the circumstances long ago. Maybe because they almost never change for the Pittsburgh Steelers.It’s going to get tight. It’s going to get late. And Pittsburgh is going to somehow find a way.Even when the Steelers are outgained — which is always, at least in 2023. Even when they’re out played — which is frequently. Even when the only place they regularly look like a team in playoff contention is the standings — which is essentially the story of the first half of a season that is somehow both chaotic and utterly predictable at the same time.Maybe that’s why Harris more or less shrugged after a 23-19 win over Green Bay on Sunday that had all the hallmarks of so many victories that have come before. A little offense. A couple of timely turnovers, and just enough of everything else to survive.“I’m just so used to (close games), I don’t even realize it,” Harris said after running for 82 yards an...
