Special teams bungles dominate NFL, with Commanders and Cowboys leading the wayINDIANAPOLIS – It’s been four weeks since Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced the postseason was the franchise’s top priority and veteran Joe Flacco would take over as the starting quarterback. The Colts (5-7) have won just a single game since, and 22-year-old Anthony Richardson has been reinstated as the starter. Indianapolis has lost plenty of ground in the playoff chase over the last month, but it’s still got a chance to make a run. The Colts enter the week in ninth place in the AFC, two games behind the Denver Broncos (7-5) for the seventh and final postseason berth. That’s not great math for Indianapolis, and there is little to no margin for error, but with the teeth of the schedule in the rearview mirror, there is hope. The Colts play just one team with a winning record over their final five games. That’s a Dec. 15 date against the Broncos that could ultimately seal the team’s playoff fate. The stretch run begins Sunday on the road against the New England Patriots (3-9) with the bye week to follow. The final three games are at home against the Tennessee Titans (3-8), at the New York Giants (2-9) and at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9). “I think, right now, where we’re at in the season, with everything set ahead of us, still being in that picture, one game on the road against New England going into the bye, we’ve got a chance to catch our breath and regroup for the last, final run,” linebacker Zaire Franklin said. “I think we’re in a special, unique position to where – why not go on a run? Why not us? I’ve done it before. “To be honest with you, I hate that I’m always in this position, but I’ve been there before, and I think the reality of the situation is that it just takes one. It just takes one play. It just takes one game. It just takes one to get the ball rolling, to get this momentum shifted, to get that energy back and get it rolling and get into the dance. Because I think, at the end of the day, as long as you get into the dance, that’s all that matters.” Franklin was a rookie in 2018 when Indianapolis went 10-1 down the stretch to overcome a 1-5 start and sneak into the postseason with the final berth. The 2021 Colts went 6-1 in November and December to get to 9-6 and position themselves for a playoff spot before losing their final two games in January. And Indianapolis won four straight to end November and begin December last year, enabling itself to force a winner-takes-all battle against the Houston Texans in the regular-season finale. The Colts went 1-3 in November this year, but they have a chance to turn things around in the final full month of the regular season. “Obviously, these last five games will be big,” Steichen said. “Right now we’ve got to take it one day at a time, one meeting at a time, one practice at a time, one game at a time to get to where we want to be at the end of the year. But we know this is a huge week for us coming up before the bye. So the fundamentals, the details, the attention to details, are going to be huge going into this week and then coming back after the bye. Get some guys back hopefully, be ready to roll for that four-game stretch.” If Indianapolis’ fortunes are to turn around again, it will need to begin with the offense. The Colts rank 21st in the 32-team NFL with an average of 20.2 points per game and are 17th in rushing offense and 24th in the passing game. Center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) and wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) are among the players in danger of missing the trip to New England, increasing the degree of difficulty for a struggling unit. But improvement in situational details could go a long way toward fixing what fails the offense. Indianapolis ranks 23rd with a 36% conversion rate on third down, and it’s 24th with a 52.8% touchdown rate in the red zone. Those numbers are the keys to finishing drives and putting more points on the scoreboard. “We just need to take advantage of our scoring opportunities, and we need to come away with seven (points) instead of three because we got down there – we just couldn’t finish,” wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. said, referring specifically to last week’s 24-6 loss against the Detroit Lions in which the Colts twice failed to reach the end zone from inside the visitors’ 20-yard line. “If we start putting up sevens instead of threes, then you don’t know what happens, right? The score is a lot closer and football is football and momentum is king, and who knows?”
WASHINGTON (AP) — A machinists strike. Another safety problem involving its troubled top-selling airliner. A plunging stock price. 2024 was already a dispiriting year for Boeing, the American aviation giant. But when one of the company's jets crash-landed in South Korea on Sunday, killing all but two of the 181 people on board, it brought to a close an especially unfortunate year for Boeing.

Pictures: Getty/Realtor via Compass The buyer of Michael Jordan‘s discounted Chicago mansion has come forward to identify himself as a longtime fan of the basketball legend. Lincoln, NE, native John Cooper has revealed himself as the lucky new owner of Jordan’s 5200 sqm mansion in Highland Park, which has sold for $14.9m (US$9.5m), after an almost 13-year stint on and off the market. Speaking to the Lincoln Journal Star, Mr Cooper, 42, who has lived in the Chicago area for the past 10 years, revealed that he had admired the property for some time before deciding to put in an offer. He ultimately scored an incredible discount on the nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom home , which first came on the market in 2012 for $42.9m (US$29m).

He made shots that seemed impossible, and he got it done on defence, too.” Mr Cooper has wasted no time moving into his new home and has already hosted his own birthday party at the property – which, of course, included a game of basketball with friends on the property’s indoor court, as well as some golf on its putting green. He plans to retain most of the mansion’s unique amenities to ensure Jordan’s legacy remains.

This place is great just the way it is,” Mr Cooper told the Lincoln Journal Star. The father of three added that he does not foresee the mansion becoming a primary residence for himself and his family, but expects he will use it regularly. The mansion went viral on social media in 2024, after it was revealed that the abandoned 2.83ha property was in a state of disrepair. There are nods to the basketball legend throughout the property.

Pictures: Getty/Realtor/Compass In the footage, the indoor basketball court appears to have had significant flooding, while the kitchen was seemingly trapped mid-renovation, with cupboard doors on the ground and pieces of wood and trash throughout the room. The largely empty house also had chairs, beds and couches in the rooms, though it was clear there hadn’t been many tenants, if any, in years. The home did see an influx of interest in recent years, perhaps due to Jordan’s 2020 Netflix documentary “The Last Dance”.
