Five-star QBs point to future excitement in Michigan-Ohio State rivalry
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Brian Callahan insisted Monday he’s busy preparing to coach the Tennessee Titans against the Jacksonville Jaguars, not what controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk thinks of his first season. “It’s a bottom line business and we’ve got to show progress and we haven’t shown enough,” Callahan said. “I would like to see more and we got two more opportunities to do it.” The Titans have lost four straight after a 38-30 defeat in Indianapolis , dropping the season series to their AFC South foe. They also have lost six of seven to drop to 3-12, putting the franchise two losses from matching the most in a season set in 2014 when the NFL played a 16-game schedule. Asked if he thinks he will have to make a case to keep his job when this season ends, Callahan said he has no idea. “My job is to coach the football team and get ready to go play Jacksonville,” Callahan said. “That’s the only thing that I focus on. And anything other than that, is out of my control.” What’s working The Titans played a season-high 10 rookies in Indianapolis. Even with all that youth, they were flagged only four times matching their second-lowest total of the season. That was a huge improvement from the week before when Tennessee was penalized 12 times for 110 yards. What needs help Callahan said every time they try to fix one thing, another issue pops up. Against Indianapolis, the run defense simply disappeared . They gave up 335 yards rushing, the most in franchise history since Oct. 1, 1961. They gave up touchdown runs of 65 and 70 yards to Jonathan Taylor. A defense that entered Week 16 ranked 12th allowed Taylor to average 7.5 yards per carry and meant Anthony Richardson needed to throw just 11 passes. The Titans gave up 38 consecutive points — the third most allowed in a game all season just a week after giving up 37 in a loss to Cincinnati. Stock up TE Chig Okonkwo. He led the Titans with nine catches and 81 yards receiving — both career highs. He also scored his the second 2-point conversion of his career. He became the first tight end with nine or more receptions in a game since Delanie Walker had nine Nov. 13, 2016, against Green Bay. Stock down Mason Rudolph. Callahan defended the veteran’s three interceptions with one going off running back Tony Pollard’s hands and the third a last-gasp play to end the game and said he thought Rudolph had a good performance. That said, Rudolph’s numbers are almost a mirror image of the quarterback he replaced. Rudolph has eight touchdown passes and eight interceptions. He’s completing 63.8% of his passes and has a 78.8 passer rating. That’s nearly the same as Will Levis completing 63.7% of his passes with 12 TD passes and 12 interceptions. Callahan said turnovers from the quarterback spot has sort of been “our Achilles’ heel” swinging games. But he also hasn’t made a decision yet on who starts Sunday, saying stats don’t always paint the full picture. “My goal is to try to put the best chance to win on the field for us and we’ll see what that looks like,” Callahan said. Injuries Callahan said K Nick Folk might have a chance to be back after an abdominal injury sidelined the veteran in Indianapolis. The Titans are practicing with a walk-through Tuesday and taking Wednesday off for Christmas so the coach said he’ll have a better handle on injuries Thursday. Folk’s replacement Brayden Narveson missed a 53-yard field goal that would have given Tennessee a 10-0 lead. Folk is 21 of 22 on field goals this season. Key num ber 121 — Number of points allowed off turnovers this season. It’s the most in a season for the Titans since at least 2000, topping the 108 given up in 2015. The Titans lead the NFL with 32 turnovers, which Callahan called their biggest issue. “That’s insanity,” Callahan said. Next steps The Titans visit Jacksonville on Sunday for their final road trip, trying to avoid being swept by their division rival. Then it’s back home for the regular-season finale, hosting Houston before more changes this offseason in some form. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflObama, Trump and the King remember 'incredible leader' Jimmy CarterSilver One Resources Inc.

Giants lose inside track on No. 1 pick in 2025 NFL draft, but team stands up for rare win
JIMMY Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died aged 100 surrounded by his loving family. Beloved President Carter was known for living a life of service to others and for his faith, love of country, and family. Jimmy Carter was the oldest living US President after the death of George H.W. Bush in 2018. Carter was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia - the same place where he ultimately died. According to his biography on the White House website: "Peanut farming, talk of politics, and devotion to the Baptist faith were mainstays of his upbringing." He was a naval officer for seven years and became a submariner. He rose to the rank of lieutenant before he left the Navy when his father died in 1953, and he saw it as his responsibility to take over the family farm. He soon jumped into politics after being elected to the Georgia State Senate. In 1970, with the help of his wife, Rosalynn, he was elected the Governor of Georgia. In 1976, Carter beat out then-President Gerald Ford for the Oval Office, which he occupied from 1977 to 1981. During his presidency, Carter was known for his compassionate approach to politics. Domestically, he created 8 million jobs, many of which went to women, African Americans, and Hispanics. He expanded the national park system and created the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. Internationally, he soared and, in 2002, was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping to create the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. After his presidency, Jimmy and Rosalynn founded the Carter Center , a non-profit center that helps humanitarian causes around the globe. They also were heavily involved with Habitat for Humanity. Jimmy Carter died on Sunday 29, December, 2024 nearly two years after going into hospice care. His official cause of death is yet to be announced but his son Chip released a heartfelt statement confirming the death of his father. He said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. "The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Carter, the beloved Democrat and Nobel Peace Prize winner, had experienced several health issues in recent years including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. In 2015, he beat brain and liver cancer, but in 2019, his health began to suffer again. He chose hospice care over continuing medical treatment, the Carter Center announced on Saturday, February 18, 2023. Carter leaves behind his four children with his late wife Rosalynn, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Rosalynn passed away on November 19, 2023, at 96 years old. Public events will commemorate Carter in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. and a state funeral will be held, The Carter Center confirmed. Whether Carter and his family decided to go through with the double funeral and how much of it will be public will be disclosed in the coming days. Carter will likely opt for burial in his home state of Georgia. However, like President H. W. Bush, he could have a state funeral in Washington DC and a personal funeral in his beloved hometown.Jayden Daniels and the offense stalling have the Commanders on a three-game losing streak
