Down eight and desperately in need of something positive to happen after the New York Jets scored 13 straight points to start the second half, the Broncos got the ball back at their 25-yard line on their first drive of the fourth quarter.In front of them was an opportunity to retake momentum in a game that had suddenly gotten away from them Sunday afternoon at Empower Field.Instead, they moved backward.Jets defensive end Bryce Huff maneuvered past right tackle Mike McGlinchey with a two-handed swim move before sacking quarterback Russell Wilson for a 6-yard loss. On the next play, Wilson couldn’t find anyone downfield, and had to dump the ball off to wide receiver Jerry Jeudy for a 2-yard gain. Facing third-and-14 after that, Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson chased Wilson from behind then knocked the ball loose before it rolled out of bounds.Three plays, 2 yards lost and both edges of the Broncos’ offensive front exposed.The pass protection issues that plagued Denver in a los...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:52 GMT

Fairfax County Public Schools is scheduled to vote Thursday night on whether to move forward with a plan to rename W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia.The school is named after Wilbert Tucker Woodson, the second-longest serving superintendent in the school system, the county said. He worked in the county from 1929 until 1961. However, he opposed desegregation as evidenced by remarks in historical documents, prompting community members to encourage Virginia’s largest school system to rename the high school.In a letter to a school board member in 1959, W.T. Woodson said the “order to desegregate schools is highly improper and infringes on human rights.” FFXNow first reported the details of the letter. Last month, seven school board members sponsored a request to begin the process of changing the name, and to consider naming the school after Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who worked to inform the public about the role of African Americans in U.S. history. At a publi...
