Jake Bates nailed a 52-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Detroit Lions to a 26-23 comeback win over the Houston Texans on Sunday night. Despite Jared Goff’s career-high five interceptions — three in the first half and two more in the third quarter — the Lions erased a 23-7 halftime deficit, scoring 16 unanswered points over the final 30 minutes. Jared Goff’s stat line was rough—15-of-30 for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions—but only three of those picks were graded as turnover-worthy plays. Houston’s C.J. Stroud completed 19 of 33 passes for 212 yards, with one touchdown,…

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans set a franchise record by intercepting Detroit’s Jared Goff a career-high five times Sunday night. But they failed again and again to take advantage of those turnovers and became the first NFL team in almost 12 years to lose a game when getting five or more interceptions in the 26-23 loss. “We didn’t make the plays to win the game … to win games guys have to step up and make plays and that’s not happening,” coach DeMeco Ryans said.

A win at Chelsea would be a massive boost, but the lineup has many question marks due to fitness and injury. Arteta needs to get his selection right ahead of what is probably Arsenal’s biggest game of the season so…
Former Arsenal and Chelsea star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was accused of ‘putting a knife in the back’ of Mikel Arteta as their relationship disintegrated. Aubameyang delivered both controversy and goals following his move to the Gunners in January 2018 for a then-club-record fee as one of Arsene Wenger’s final signings. The Frenchman’s successor Unai Emery was sacked in November 2019, with Arteta taking his place. After a promising start, including 2020’s FA Cup triumph, it wasn’t long before their relationship fell apart. In early 2021, during the Covid campaign when matches were played behind closed doors, the Gabon icon was dropped…

It is a common theme that has plagued the season to date and threatens to see Arsenal fall away if results don’t turn. Luckily for Arteta, Manchester City are struggling – losing four in a row in all competitions for the first time since 2006 after squandering a 1-0 lead away to Brighton on Saturday. Unfortunately, the task at hand is far from simple for the Arsenal head coach. Although he boasts a mightily strong record at Stamford Bridge,…
