WATFORD, England (AP) — Brendan Rodgers saw Leicester concede a goal in the opening five minutes of his first match in charge before letting in an injury-time goal to lose 2-1 to Watford in the Premier League on Sunday. Rodgers is back in England's top flight for the first time since October 2015 — when he was fired by Liverpool — following his appointment from Scottish champion Celtic as Claude Puel's replacement earlier this week. And it looked like being a respectable start to his Foxes reign as Jamie Vardy's 10th goal of the season canceled out Troy Deeney's early header. But the game ended in the same way as it started as Andre Gray struck in the closing moments to inflict an opening defeat on Rodgers and deliver a fourth win from five for the Hornets. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/apf-Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Read more on NewsOK.com

  • Broncos QB Bo Nix: Rain, wet footballs impacted first half in which he threw for minus-7 yards
    Denver Post, Sunday - 09/29/2024 - 05:39 PM

    EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. — When the rain finally ran out Sunday, the Broncos offense found some life. Denver head coach Sean Payton said he thought the steady precipitation caught both teams by surprise. “I don’t know that either team expected the weather to impact the game like it did that much in the first half,” Payton said after the Broncos’ 10-9 win at MetLife Stadium after a day-plus of near-constant drizzle and rain. Quarterback Bo Nix, who regularly seemed to fight his grip on the football early in the game, agreed. “Yeah, when it rains like that for that long period of time, it’s hard to kind of, I guess, get new, dry footballs out there,” the rookie said after Denver’s 10-9 win.

  • Broncos report card: Vance Joseph’s dazzling, dominant defense delivers in 10-9 win over Jets

    OFFENSE — D Denver mounted an 11-play, 87-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter that featured the team’s first three third-down conversions of the day and finished with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Bo Nix to Courtland Sutton. Outside of that, though, it was tough sledding. The Broncos started slow offensively and just got worse through the first half.

  • Broncos Four Downs: Bo Nix rebounds from historically bad first half with first career TD pass
    Denver Post, Sunday - 09/29/2024 - 04:32 PM

    Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 10-9 win over the New York Jets: Un-Bo-Lievable first half: Denver has had 14 starting quarterbacks since Peyton Manning retired following the 2015 season. None played a worse first half than Bo Nix. He is a rookie. The situation demands context and patience. But it also requires basic competence.
