Patriots QB change does nothing to fix offense in 6-0 loss to Chargers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:02:57 GMT

FOXBORO — A quarterback change did nothing to fix the Patriots’ anemic offense in Sunday’s 6-0 loss to the Chargers.Bailey Zappe replaced Mac Jones as the Patriots’ starting quarterback in an expected move, but the Pats were shut out for the second time this season in an offensive performance that was difficult to watch.Zappe, who was 2-0 as a starter as a rookie in 2022, finally was given his first start of the season after Jones was benched during four separate games this year. Jones was benched when the score was out of hand in consecutive losses in Weeks 4 and 5 to the Cowboys and Saints. After a better stretch of play, he was again benched in consecutive weeks against the Colts and Giants while those games were still competitive due to turnovers.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson leaves game with right leg injury New England Patriots | Patriots to dress three QBs vs. Chargers; Deatrich Wise inactive with illness ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:02:57 GMT

TORONTO — Ten-year-old Ofri Brodutch had barely been released from weeks of captivity by Hamas in the Gaza Strip before she began talking about her next trip to Canada. But her uncle, Israeli-born, Toronto-based scientist Aharon Brodutch, says her excitement at the prospect of another summer spent visiting her Canadian cousins contrasts sharply with the rest of her current physical and mental state. Ofri, her two younger brothers and their mother all bear visible signs of the ordeal they faced since they were taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7 as part of a brutal incursion that killed roughly 1,200 Israelis and touched off a war that has now raged for nearly two months. Israel’s retaliatory attacks in the Gaza Strip have killed more than 15,500 people, according to local health authorities, which do not distinguish between civilian and combatant deaths. The four members of the Brodutch family were among roughly 100 hostages released last week during a seven-day truce that saw so...
