Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:24:25 GMT

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan midfielder Federico Dimarco unleashed a strike from near the halfway line and then breathed a sigh of relief when the ball hit the back of the net.The 26-year-old Dimarco collected the ball just inside his own half and took a few steps forward before letting fly to score an incredible opening goal that had San Siro on its feet on Sunday.The diagonal shot set Inter on the way to a 2-0 victory over Frosinone and back to the top of Serie A.“At the start, I saw (teammate) Denzel (Dumfries), then I saw the goalkeeper off the line. At the end, thank God it went in, otherwise I would’ve got more insults than I could even imagine,” Dimarco said. “It is certainly one of my best goals.”Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer put his hands on his head in disbelief at the first-half goal, while coach Simone Inzaghi turned round and beamed broadly at his bench.Frosinone goalkeeper — and lifelong Inter fan — Stefano Turati backpedaled furiously but was left sprawling on his ba...

Travis Etienne, Calvin Ridley and Evan Engram were mostly non-factors.And the ball-hawking defense failed to get a takeaway and was gashed for a season-high 437 yards.“It’s terrible.

Will Levis looks like a rookie, struggles against pass rush in Titans’ loss to Buccaneers

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:24:25 GMT

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Will Levis played like a rookie, struggling with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ pass rush and failing to lead the Tennessee offense into the end zone for the first time since being named the Titans’ No. 1 quarterback.Levis was 19 of 39 for 199 yards and an interception in Sunday’s 20-6 loss to the Bucs. He did not throw a touchdown pass for the second week in a row, and the Titans stalled in both of their trips to the red zone.Tampa Bay’s rejuvenated defense sacked Levis four times, taking advantage of a banged-up offensive line that was already missing Nicholas Petit-Frere and and Daniel Brunskill and lost fill-in left tackle Andre Dillard in the first half when he went into the concussion protocol.Before leaving the game, Dillard gave up sacks on the Titans’ first two possessions.Levis took responsibility for those breakdowns in protection, saying he needs to make quicker decisions.“It just tough on the offense as a whole. We’ve got to d...
