The Atlanta Falcons re-signed linebacker Rashaan Evans to the practice squad on Tuesday. Evans played in two games for the Falcons earlier this season and received one defensive snap and five on special teams. He was on the roster Weeks 9-15 before being released Dec. 21. Evans, 29, was a first-round pick (22nd overall) in 2018 by the Tennessee Titans. He spent four seasons with the Titans before signing with the Falcons prior to the 2022 season. Evans stood out for Atlanta in 2022 with a career-high 159 tackles and two sacks. He played in nine games for the Dallas Cowboys in 2023. Overall, Evans has 485 tackles and five sacks in 87 career games (68 starts) over seven NFL seasons. Atlanta also signed defensive lineman Kyler Baugh to the practice squad. He was on the practice squads of the New Orleans Saints and New York Giants earlier this season. Baugh, 23, has not played in an NFL game. He originally was signed as an undrafted free agent by the New Orleans Saints following the 2024 NFL Draft. --Field Level MediaNew coach Chris Holtmann has been tasked with rebuilding DePaul to the point where it can return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004. Northern Illinois coach Rashon Burno knows what it takes to steer DePaul to the NCAAs because he was the starting point guard on the 2000 team that made the tournament -- the Blue Demons' only other NCAA appearance since 1992. Perhaps they can compare notes Saturday afternoon when Burno leads the Huskies (2-3) back to his alma mater as DePaul (5-0) hosts its sixth straight home game in Chicago. Last season, Burno's NIU squad helped accelerate DePaul's need for a new coach -- as the Huskies waltzed into Wintrust Arena and owned Tony Stubblefield's Blue Demons by an 89-79 score on Nov. 25. The Huskies built a 24-point second-half lead before coasting to the finish line. Can history repeat for NIU? There's just one problem with using last year's game as a potential barometer for Saturday's rematch: Almost no players on this year's teams were part of last year's squads. At DePaul, only assistant coach Paris Parham remains as Holtmann had the green light to bring in an all-new roster. UIC graduate transfer Isaiah Rivera (16.0 ppg, .485 3-point rate) and Coastal Carolina transfer Jacob Meyer (15.4 ppg, .406 on 3s) lead a balanced attack that focuses on getting half its shots from beyond the arc. At NIU, Burno retained only two players who competed against DePaul last year -- Ethan Butler and Oluwasegun Durosinmi -- and they combined for three points in 26 minutes in that game. The Huskies' main players used the transfer portal to join such programs as Kansas, Wisconsin, Penn State, Colorado State, James Madison, Georgia State and Niagara. With every starting job open, Butler has jumped into the lineup and produced 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals per game. Transfers Quentin Jones (Cal Poly) and James Dent (Western Illinois) pace the Huskies with 14.4 and 14.0 points per game. NIU is on a two-game losing streak, most recently a 75-48 home defeat at the hands of Elon on Wednesday. Holtmann hopes to have Arkansas transfer Layden Blocker for Saturday's game. Blocker missed Tuesday's 78-69 win over Eastern Illinois with a quad injury. With the combo guard unavailable, point guard Conor Enright handed out a career-high 11 assists in a season-high 38 minutes. "We need (Blocker)," Holtmann said. "I don't want to play Conor 38 minutes." --Field Level MediaTexans foiled by mistake after mistake in 32-27 loss to TitansComparably Announces Best Places to Work and Best CEOs of 2024 Based on Millions of Employee Ratings

Van Drew, Pallone take credit for inclusion of NJ erosion study in water billNEW ORLEANS (AP) — A scruffy little fugitive is on the lam again in New Orleans, gaining fame as he outwits a tenacious band of citizens armed with night-vision binoculars, nets and a tranquilizer rifle. Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that's mostly terrier, has become a folk hero, inspiring tattoos, T-shirts and even a ballad as he eludes capture from the posse of volunteers. And like any antihero, Scrim has a backstory: Rescued from semi-feral life at a trailer park and adopted from a shelter, the dog broke loose in April and scurried around the city until he was cornered in October and brought to a new home. Weeks later, he'd had enough. Scrim leaped out of a second-story window, a desperate act recorded in a now-viral video. Since then, despite a stream of daily sightings, he's roamed free. The dog’s fans include Myra and Steve Foster, who wrote “Ode to Scrim” to the tune of Ricky Nelson’s 1961 hit, “I’m a Travelin’ Man.” Leading the recapture effort is Michelle Cheramie, a 55-year-old former information technology professional. She lost everything — home, car, possessions — in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in the aftermath, found her calling rescuing pets. “I was like, ‘This is what I should be doing,’” Cheramie said. “I was born to rescue.” She launched Zeus’ Rescues, a nonprofit shelter that now averages 600 cat and dog adoptions a year and offers free pet food to anyone who needs it. She helped Scrim find the home he first escaped from. It was Cheramie's window Scrim leaped from in November. She's resumed her relentless mission since then, posting flyers on telephone poles and logging social media updates on his reported whereabouts. She's invested thousands of dollars on wildlife cameras, thermal sensors and other gear. She took a course offered by the San Diego Zoo on the finer points of tranquilizing animals. And she's developed a network of volunteers — the kind of neighbors who are willing to grid-search a city at 3 a.m. People like writer David W. Brown, who manages a crowd-sourced Google Map of all known Scrim sightings. He says the search has galvanized residents from all walks of life to come together. As they search for Scrim, they hand out supplies to people in need. “Being a member of the community is seeing problems and doing what you can to make life a little better for the people around here and the animals around you,” Brown said. And neighbors like Tammy Murray, who had to close her furniture store and lost her father to Parkinson's disease. This search, she says, got her mojo back. “Literally, for months, I’ve done nothing but hunt this dog,” said Murray, 53. “I feel like Wile E. Coyote on a daily basis with him.” Murray drives the Zeus' Rescues' van towards reported Scrim sightings. She also handles a tactical net launcher, which looks like an oversized flashlight and once misfired, shattering the van's window as Scrim sped away. After realizing Scrim had come to recognize the sound of the van's diesel engine, Murray switched to a Vespa scooter, for stealth. Near-misses have been tantalizing. The search party spotted Scrim napping beneath an elevated house, and wrapped construction netting around the perimeter, but an over-eager volunteer broke ranks and dashed forward, leaving an opening Scrim slipped through. Scrim's repeated escapades have prompted near-daily local media coverage and a devoted online following. Cheramie can relate. “We’re all running from something or to something. He's doing that too,” she said. Cheramie's team dreams of placing the pooch in a safe and loving environment. But a social media chorus growing under the hashtag #FreeScrim has other ideas — they say the runaway should be allowed a life of self-determination. The animal rescue volunteers consider that misguided. “The streets of New Orleans are not the place for a dog to be free,” Cheramie said. “It’s too dangerous.” Scrim was a mess when Cheramie briefly recaptured him in October, with matted fur, missing teeth and a tattered ear. His trembling body was scraped and bruised, and punctured by multiple projectiles. A vet removed one, but decided against operating to take out a possible bullet. The dog initially appeared content indoors, sitting in Cheramie's lap or napping beside her bed. Then while she was out one day, Scrim chewed through a mesh screen, dropped 13 feet to the ground and squeezed through a gap in the fence, trotting away. Murray said Cheramie's four cats probably spooked him. “I wholeheartedly believe the gangster-ass cats were messing with him,” Murray said. Cheramie thinks they may have gotten territorial. Devastated but undeterred, the pair is reassessing where Scrim might fit best — maybe a secure animal sanctuary with big outdoor spaces where other dogs can keep him company. Somewhere, Murray says, “where he can just breathe and be.” Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

NoneHeavy travel day starts with brief grounding of all American Airlines flights
Culture, cuisine, cricket connect India, Guyana: PM Modi at community addressWASHINGTON (AP) — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide Tuesday because of a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne about an hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop for the airline. The order, which prevented planes from taking off, was issued at the airline's request after it experienced trouble with its flight operating system, or FOS. The airline blamed technology from one of its vendors. As a result, flights were delayed across American’s major hubs, with only 36% of the airline's 3,901 domestic and international flights leaving on time, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company. Fifty-one flights were canceled. Dennis Tajer, a spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, a union representing American Airlines pilots, said the airline told pilots at 7 a.m. Eastern that there was an outage affecting the FOS system. It handles different types of airline operations, including dispatch, flight planning, passenger boarding, as well as an airplane's weight and balance data, he said. Some components of FOS have gone down in the past, but a systemwide outage is rare, Tajer said. Hours after the ground stop was lifted, Tajer said the union had not heard about any “chaos out there beyond just the normal heavy travel day.” He said officials were watching for any cascading effects, such as staffing problems. On social media, however, customers expressed frustration with delays that caused them or their family members to miss connecting flights. One person asked if American planned to hold flights for passengers to make connections, while others complained about the lack of assistance they said they received from the airline or gate agents. Bobby Tighe, a real estate agent from Florida, said he will miss a family Christmas Eve party in New York because his American flight was repeatedly delayed. The delays made him miss a connecting flight, leaving him the choice of going to his destination — Westchester, New York — on Christmas Day or taking another flight to Newark, New Jersey, that was scheduled to land Tuesday evening. He chose the latter. “I’m just going to take an Uber or Lyft to the airport I was originally supposed to go to, pick up my rental car and kind of restart everything tomorrow,” Tighe said. He said his girlfriend was “going through the same exact situation” on her way from Dallas to New York. Cirium noted that the vast majority of flights were departing within two hours of their scheduled departure time. A similar percentage — 39% — were arriving at their destinations as scheduled. Dallas-Fort Worth, New York’s Kennedy Airport and Charlotte, North Carolina, saw the greatest number of delays, Cirium said. Washington, Chicago and Miami experienced considerably fewer delays. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 4,058 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed, with 76 flights canceled. The site did not post any American Airlines flights on Tuesday morning, but it showed in the afternoon that 961 American flights were delayed. Amid the travel problems, significant rain and snow were expected in the Pacific Northwest at least into Christmas Day. Showers and thunderstorms were developing in the South. Freezing rain was reported in the Mid-Atlantic region near Baltimore and Washington, and snow fell in New York. Because the holiday travel period lasts weeks, airports and airlines typically have smaller peak days than they do during the rush around Thanksgiving, but the grind of one hectic day followed by another takes a toll on flight crews. And any hiccups — a winter storm or a computer outage — can snowball into massive disruptions. That is how Southwest Airlines stranded 2 million travelers in December 2022, and Delta Air Lines suffered a smaller but significant meltdown after a worldwide technology outage in July caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations even more disruptive than during slower periods. That is especially true for smaller budget airlines that have fewer flights and fewer options for rebooking passengers. Only the largest airlines, including American, Delta and United, have “interline agreements” that let them put stranded customers on another carrier’s flights. This will be the first holiday season since a Transportation Department rule took effect that requires airlines to give customers automatic cash refunds for canceled or significantly delayed flights. Most air travelers were already eligible for refunds, but they often had to request them. Passengers still can ask to get rebooked, which is often a better option than a refund during peak travel periods. That’s because finding a last-minute flight on another airline tends to be expensive. An American spokesperson said Tuesday was not a peak travel day for the airline — with about 2,000 fewer flights than the busiest days — so the airline had somewhat of a buffer to manage the delays. The groundings happened as millions of travelers were expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Airlines expect to have their busiest days on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. About 90% of Americans traveling far from home over the holidays will be in cars, according to AAA. “Airline travel is just really high right now, but most people do drive to their destinations, and that is true for every holiday,” AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said. Gasoline prices are similar to last year. The nationwide average Thursday was $3.04 a gallon, down from $3.13 a year ago, according to AAA. Charging an electric vehicle averages just under 35 cents per per kilowatt hour, but varies by state. Transportation-data firm INRIX says travel times on the nation’s highways could be up to 30% longer than normal over the holidays, with Sunday expected to see the heaviest traffic. Boston, New York City, Seattle and Washington are the metropolitan areas primed for the greatest delays, according to the company. Associated Press writers David Koenig, Mae Anderson and Mike Pesoli contributed to this report.President-elect Donald Trump mockingly referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the governor of the “Great State of Canada” on his social media account early Tuesday. Trump said in a taunting post on Truth Social it was a “pleasure to have dinner” with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lago estate and that he looks forward to seeing the “governor again soon” to talk tariffs and trade, the “results of which will be truly spectacular for all.” Turns out, some Canadians think that’s not such a bad idea. A new Leger poll suggests 13 per cent of Canadians would like the country to become the next U.S. state. The demographic breakdowns show there’s higher support among men, at 19 per cent, compared with only seven per cent of women. Conservative party supporters came in at 21 per cent, while one in 10 Liberal voters said they were in favour of the idea. The People’s Party of Canada showed the highest level of endorsement among the federal parties, at 25 per cent, while the NDP was the lowest at six per cent. A full 82 per cent of respondents said they were opposed to the idea. People in the Atlantic provinces, women and Canadians over the age of 55 were least likely to support it. “I’m not shocked,” said Andrew Enns, executive vice-president of central Canada at Leger. While it’s not a question he’s polled on before, since it’s not normal for U.S. presidents to openly muse about snatching up bordering countries as new states, the survey results follow some familiar patterns. “Women have, for quite some time, whenever Donald Trump’s name has come up, expressed a much stronger opposition to the individual,” he said. “But again, we are talking about fairly small (support). In the Prairies, for example, it’s still less than 20 per cent that would say, yes, they’d be open to joining the United States.” Leger surveyed 1,520 people between Dec. 6 and Dec. 9, and the results do not have a margin of error since online polls aren’t considered truly random samples. The survey was also done before Trump made his post on Tuesday. Enns said he suspects Trump doubling down on the comments will further shrink the already limited public support by pushing the joke past the point of comfort. Immigration Minister Marc Miller expressed dismay when reporters asked him about it ahead of a federal cabinet meeting Tuesday. “It sounds like we’re living in an episode of South Park,” he said. “I don’t think we should necessarily look on Truth Social for public policy.” The provocative 1999 South Park animated film notably featured a song called “Blame Canada!” about Americans scapegoating their northern neighbours for their own domestic problems. Miller and other cabinet members have written off Trump’s comments as anything but serious. “Clearly, he’s joking,” Defence Minister Bill Blair said Tuesday. “We’re a sovereign nation.” Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc attended Trudeau’s surprise dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month, which came soon after the president-elect threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on imports unless Canada beefs up its border. LeBlanc has insisted Trump was only teasing when at the dinner he suggested he could make Canada the 51st U.S. State. “The president was telling jokes,” LeBlanc said a week ago. “The president was teasing us. It was, of course, on that issue in no way a serious comment.” Trump later shared a seemingly AI-generated image of himself standing on a mountain ridge with a Canadian flag planted in it, with the caption “Oh Canada!” Trudeau has not matched that tone, warning in a talk on Monday that the steep tariffs Trump is bandying about would be devastating for the Canadian economy. He described Trump’s approach as an attempt to destabilize negotiating partners by introducing a bit of chaos. Trudeau blew past the TV cameras on his way into Tuesday’s cabinet meeting without stopping to talk to reporters. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, meanwhile, deflected questions about whether she thinks Trump is serious about taking over her country. “That is a question, really, for the president-elect,” she said.

The American Civil Liberties Union published a report this week detailing its concerns with law enforcement tech provider Axon's Draft One , a ChatGPT-based system that translates body camera recordings into drafts of police reports that officers need only edit and flesh out to ostensibly save them time spent on desk work. Given the importance of police reports to investigations and prosecutions and the unreliability already noted in other forms of law enforcement AI, the ACLU has little faith that Draft One will avoid leading to potential civil rights violations and civil liberty issues. "Police reports play a crucial role in our justice system," ACLU speech, privacy and technology senior policy analyst and report author Jay Stanley wrote. "Concerns include the unreliability and biased nature of AI, evidentiary and memory issues when officers resort to this technology, and issues around transparency. "In the end, we do not think police departments should use this technology," Stanley concluded. It's worth pointing out that Axon doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to thinking critically about innovations: Most of the company's ethics board resigned in 2022 when Axon announced plans to equip remote-control drones with tasers. Axon later paused the program following public blow-back. Draft One , however, has already been in the hands of US law enforcement agencies since it was launched in April. It's not clear how many agencies are using Draft One, and Axon didn't respond to questions for this story. This vulture can personally attest to the misery that is writing police reports. In my time as a Military Policeman in the US Army, I spent plenty of time on shifts writing boring, formulaic, and necessarily granular reports on incidents, and it was easily the worst part of my job. I can definitely sympathize with police in the civilian world, who deal with far worse - and more frequent - crimes than I had to address on small bases in South Korea. That said, I've also had a chance to play with modern AI and report on many of its shortcomings, and the ACLU seems to definitely be on to something in Stanley's report. After all, if we can't even trust AI to write something as legally low-stakes as news or a bug report , how can we trust it to do decent police work? LLMs, while amazingly advanced at imitating human writing, are prone to unpredictable errors [that] may be compounded by transcription errors, including those resulting from garbled or otherwise unclear audio in a body camera video That's one of the ACLU's prime concerns, especially given report drafts are being compiled from body camera recordings that are often low-quality and hard to hear clearly. "LLMs, while amazingly advanced at imitating human writing, are prone to unpredictable errors [that] may be compounded by transcription errors, including those resulting from garbled or otherwise unclear audio in a body camera video," Stanley noted. In an ideal world, Stanley added, police would be carefully reviewing AI-generated drafts, but that very well may not be the case. The report notes that Draft One includes a feature that can intentionally insert silly sentences into AI-produced drafts as a test to ensure officers are thoroughly reviewing and revising the drafts. However, Axon's CEO mentioned in a video about Draft One that most agencies are choosing not to enable this feature. The ACLU also points out privacy issues with using a large language model to process body camera footage: That's sensitive police data, so who exactly is going to be handling it? According to Axon's website, all Draft One data, including camera transcripts and draft reports, are "securely stored and managed within the Axon Network," but there's no indication of what that network entails. Despite Microsoft's insistence that police aren't allowed to use Azure AI for face recognition , that apparently doesn't apply to letting an AI write police reports, as Axon indicated in an April press release that Draft One "was built on top of Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service platform." Not exactly confidence inspiring given Microsoft's and Azure's security track record of late. "When a user (such as Axon) uploads a document or enters a prompt, both of those are transmitted to the LLM's operator (such as OpenAI), and what that operator does with that information is not subject to any legal privacy protections," the ACLU report states. "Axon claims here that 'no customer [ie, police] data is going to OpenAI,' but normally in order to have an LLM like ChatGPT analyze a block of text such as the transcript of a bodycam video, you normally send that text to the company running the LLM, like OpenAI, so I'm not sure how that would work in the case of Draft One," Stanley told The Register in an emailed statement. We've asked Axon where data is processed and stored, but again, we haven't heard back. If OpenAI isn't getting access, Microsoft may be, at the very least. The ACLU is also concerned that using AI to write police reports lacks transparency, especially if the modified version of ChatGPT used as the basis of Draft One has system prompts instructing it to behave in a certain way, which it likely does like most LLMs. "That's an example of the kind of element of an AI tool that ought to be public," the ACLU report argued. "If it's not, a police AI system could well contain an instruction such as, 'Make sure that the narrative is told in a way that doesn't portray the officer as violating the Constitution.'" We've asked Axon for a look at Draft One's system prompts. "This elasticity of human memory is why we believe it's vital that officers give their statement about what took place in an incident before they are allowed to see any video or other evidence," the ACLU stated in the report. Draft One bypasses that issue by generating a draft report primarily based on audio captured by body cameras, which officers ideally should not rely on exclusively to provide their own testimony. If an officer reviewing an AI-generated report notices, for example, that something illegal they did wasn't captured by their camera, they never need to testify to that fact in their report. Conversely, if an officer lacked probable cause to detain or arrest a suspect, but their camera picks up audio in the background that justifies their action, then post-hoc probable cause could again disguise police misconduct. "The body camera video and the police officer's memory are two separate pieces of evidence," Stanley wrote. "But if the police report is just an AI rehash of the body camera video, then you no longer have two separate pieces of evidence - you have one, plus a derivative summary of it." Along with potentially assisting police to cover up misconduct or create after-the-fact justifications for illegal actions, the ACLU also pointed out another issue identified by American University law professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson: It makes them less accountable for their actions. In a paper written earlier this year covering many of the same concerns raised by the ACLU, and cited as inspiration for its report, Ferguson pointed out that making police officers write reports can serve as a disciplinary check on their use of power. Police have to justify the use of discretionary power in reports, which Ferguson and the ACLU pointed out serves as a way to remind them of the legal limits of their authority. "A shift to AI-drafted police reports would sweep away these important internal roles that reports play within police departments and within the minds of officers," the ACLU wrote. "This is an additional reason to be skeptical of this technology." At the end of the day, some police are using this technology now, though Stanley believes its use is likely confined to only a few agencies around the US. Axon isn't the only company offering similar products either, with Policereports.ai and Truleo both offering similar services. The ACLU told us it's not aware of any cases involving the use of AI police reports that have been used to prosecute a defendant, so we have yet to see these reports stand up to the legal scrutiny of a courtroom. ®

A University of Pennsylvania professor who made comments supporting Luigi Mangione, the man accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been rebuked by a deputy dean. Julia Alekseyeva, an assistant professor of English and Media and Cinema studies at the Ivy League school, praised Mangione, a Penn album, Tuesday night on social media. MORE : New 200-foot-long pedestrian bridge opens near Forbidden Drive at Wissahickon Valley Park "I have never been prouder to be a professor at the University of P3nnsylvania," Alekseyeva wrote on TikTok, the Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn's student newspaper, first reported . Her post has since been removed. Alekseyeva also had shared another post about Mangione in an Instagram story, calling him the "icon we all need and deserve." Jeffrey Kallberg, deputy dean at Penn's School of Arts & Sciences, issued a statement Wednesday addressing the Alekseyeva's social media posts. "Her comments regarding the shooting of Brian Thompson in New York City were antithetical to the values of both the School of Arts & Sciences and the University of Pennsylvania, and they were not condoned by the School or the University," said Kallberg, who is set to become interim dean of the School of Arts & Sciences in January. "Upon reflection, Assistant Professor Alekseyeva has concurred that the comments were insensitive and inappropriate and has retracted them." Kallberg's statement came after Alekseyeva posted Tuesday night on X, formerly Twitter, that she regretted her comments. "Late last night I posted a TikTok, as well as several stories on my Instagram," Alekseyeva wrote. "These were completely insensitive and inappropriate, and I retract them wholly. I do not condone violence and I am genuinely regretful of any harm the posts have caused." Mangione, 26, is charged in New York with second-degree murder, forgery and gun offenses for allegedly gunning down Thompson outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan on Dec. 4. He spent nearly six days on the run before an employee at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, reported him to authorities Monday. Mangione also faces separate charges in Pennsylvania. After Mangione's arrest, Penn officials confirmed that he had attended the university and was awarded a bachelor's and master's degree in computer and information science in 2020. He had helped found a video game development club and had been a teaching assistant for an undergraduate class during his time at Penn. The manhunt for Mangione and his arrest prompted a wave of public reaction to the shooting, including many who painted the alleged gunman as a hero for targeting a health insurance executive. After Mangione's arrest, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was among the leaders to condemn politically-motivated violence . "In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint," Shapiro said Monday. "I understand people have real frustration with our health care system. ... In a civil society, we are all less safe when ideologues engage in vigilante justice."OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — In some sports, playing three games in 11 days would be considered a lull in the schedule. Football is different — although this type of stretch is becoming more common in the NFL. “I just kind of put myself in a basketball perspective. Those guys play back to back, so I guess there’s a little merit behind us quote-unquote complaining about it, but they are playing 82 games," Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said. “MLB players are playing 162 games, and we have 17, and we’re trying to fight them to go to 18 right now. I think it’s good in a sense that we’ll see who is most prepared down the stretch, and it’s really challenging for teams — everybody that’s involved.” The Ravens are one of the five teams that are about to go through a three-game, 11-day stretch. The Ravens, Chiefs, Steelers and Texans are playing Sunday, the following Saturday and then the Wednesday after that on Christmas. Chicago has a game this coming Monday night, then plays the following Sunday before a Thursday game on Dec. 26. Before this season, 21 teams in the Super Bowl era had played three games in 11 days, according to Sportradar. In 2024 there are nine stretches like that on the schedule. In addition to the five teams above, four others have already gone through a three-game, 11-day period. The Jets, Seahawks, Saints and Cowboys all had Monday-Sunday-Thursday runs like the Bears are about to face. The Jets and Cowboys managed to go 2-1 during those stretches, but the Seahawks and Saints went 0-3. “Try to win the first one, rest, try to get your body back how it should be,” Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson said. “If it’s not 100 percent, try to get it close as possible — just get ready to play football. That’s all.” For Baltimore, the easiest game of the three is in theory the first. As of Thursday afternoon, the Ravens were favored by 16 points at the New York Giants this weekend, according to BetMGM Sportsbook — but Baltimore has already lost to last-place teams like the Raiders and Browns this season. So the Ravens need to be careful not to overlook the lowly Giants. After the trip to New Jersey, Baltimore returns home to face Pittsburgh in a game that figures to be vital to the Ravens' AFC North title hopes. Then there's a road game against AFC South-leading Houston on Christmas. “The big picture is, ‘All hands on deck.’ We’re focused toward playing our best game so far on Sunday,” coach John Harbaugh said. “We’re going to need to do that, and that’s what we’re training and preparing to do. We have a plan for the three-game stretch, and that plan starts with Sunday.” The Ravens played on Christmas last year too, but that was on a Monday, so it wasn't that big a change in the schedule. If there's one factor in Baltimore's favor this season, it's that the Ravens had their open date last week — immediately before their rugged three-game stretch. But that meant Baltimore was among the last teams to have a week off. And the Ravens started earlier than almost anyone else, having been part of the NFL's opening game against Kansas City. “We reported to camp earlier than everybody else for that Thursday night game, and I think KC had their bye a little while ago,” Hamilton said. “I guess we had the longest stretch, continuous, of anybody else. It’s just going to be that much better at the end of it all, when we do what we need to do, and we can look back on that and say, ‘We did that, and we came out and won these three games.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Get any of our free daily email newsletters — news headlines, opinion, e-edition, obituaries and more.Covestor Ltd lessened its holdings in Alphabet Inc.
