Ravens follow familiar script to get past lowly Cardinals, 31-24: ‘We found a way’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:02:49 GMT

The Ravens’ stint as the greatest show on turf was a short one.A week after scoring on each of their first four possessions and Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and ran for another against the Detroit Lions, Baltimore’s offense hit a drought against the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. Still, it did just enough, finding the end zone four times and then doing what it does best: relying on its defense to make clutch plays when it mattered most.The Ravens (6-2) stopped Arizona on fourth down twice, intercepted Joshua Dobbs twice, and held the quarterback to 208 yards passing en route to a shaky 31-24 win over the Cardinals (1-7). The victory keeps Baltimore atop the AFC North on a day the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers lost and the Cincinnati Bengals won to each move to 4-3.“It was a tough game,” coach John Harbaugh said. “We weren’t as crisp and sharp as we wanted to be by any stretch and yet, we kept grinding, we kept fighting an...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:02:49 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops and armor pushed deeper into the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, reaching built-up areas as the U.N. and medical staff warned that airstrikes are hitting closer to hospitals, where tens of thousands of Palestinians have sought shelter alongside thousands of wounded.The increasing ground operations came a day after 33 trucks carrying food, medicine and other supplies entered Gaza from Egypt, the largest convoy of humanitarian aid since the war between Israel and Hamas began. Relief workers said Monday the assistance still fell far short of needs in Gaza, which has been under siege for weeks.The Gaza Health Ministry said the death toll among Palestinians passed 8,000, mostly women and minors, as Israeli tanks and infantry pursued what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a “second stage” in the war ignited by Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 incursion.The toll is without precedent in decades of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

Su personaje de Chandler Bing, que solía ser sarcástico y autocrítico, me conmovía profundamente.Chandler utilizaba la comedia como mecanismo de defensa para hacer frente a sus inseguridades e incomodidades con frases como “Hola, soy Chandler, hago bromas cuando me siento incómodo” y “No se me dan bien los consejos. ¿Puede interesarte con un comentario sarcástico?”.“Friends” —que coprotagonizaban Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston y Lisa Kudrow— fue más que un programa de televisión, fue un marcador c...
