Lions survive another defensive breakdown to move to 9-3

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:59:13 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions turned an early rout into a nail-biter on Sunday, and not in the way Dan Campbell wanted.The Lions led the New Orleans Saints 21-0 in the first seven minutes, but had to hold on at the end. In the last five minutes, the Saints had the ball in Lions territory, trailing 33-28, but turned the ball over on downs at the Detroit 40.“We won that game in the first eight minutes,” Campbell said. “We didn’t know that was how it was going to go down, but that’s what gave us the lead that we were able to use to hold on and win.”Detroit’s offense and defense combined for the quick start. The Lions turned an interception and two three-and-outs into three touchdowns. That could have ended the game, but Detroit’s shaky defense gave up 28 points in the final 3 1/2 quarters to let the Saints back into the game.Even with Derek Carr injured, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill gave the Saints a chance to stun the Lions at the end.“We had to fight them...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:59:13 GMT

Boston police asked for the public’s help Monday in efforts to identify a group of teens accused of attacking at least three people at random in Mission Hill. Police shared photos and descriptions of several suspects linked to the attacks, which happened on Friday of last week. In each case, police said the attacks in broad daylight were unprovoked and targeted unsuspecting victims. “I think it’s horrible that you can’t just sit outside and enjoy your morning or whatever without being scared of people coming to attack you for absolutely no reason,” said college student Elan Mendibil. “I think it’s disgusting.” “I think it just reflects what we’re putting out and kids are seeing now,” said fellow college student Tristan McDonough. “We need more empathy now and more people seeing something wrong and stepping in.”Boston police in a police report said one of the victims, a man with special needs, was sitting outside a TGI Friday’s location when the teens started to p...

A peacock that flew the coop in Peabody caused some problems for state police Monday, at one point venturing into the lanes of Route 1. Surveillance video showed the exotic bird in the area late Monday morning. Fearing it could lead to a potentially dangerous situation, a trooper pulled over to try to corral it. The effort soon became a peacock pursuit, though, with police and some nearby volunteers chasing the bird to the corner of a parking lot.Kristina Kallas’ family owns Quick Stop Convenience, where Monday’s avian operation went down. Speaking with 7NEWS, she said they often find peacocks from a small nearby farm wandering around the parking lot. In this case, however,  she said she is not sure what made this bird try to cross the road.“It wanted to go to Dunkin Donuts, Get a snack?” she said. “I’m not sure.” Despite several efforts to catch it, the peacock ultimately took off over a fence and out of sight. “It’s very normal for them to get out and they...
