Justin Herbert tosses 3 TDs as Chargers edge Chiefs in Sao Paulo

Justin Herbert passed for 318 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Los Angeles Chargers to a 27-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the season opener for the AFC West rivals on Friday night at Sao Paulo. "Justin was phenomenal today in every way," Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Pinpoint accuracy. He did a great job with his legs. Just overall toughness. Just a complete stalwart. It was incredible quarterback play." Los Angeles' Quentin Johnston had five receptions for 79 yards and two touchdowns and Keenan Allen added seven catches for 68 yards and a score. Herbert was 25 of 34 passing and also rushed for 32 yards. Patrick Mahomes completed 24 of 39 passes for 258 yards and one touchdown for the defending AFC champion Chiefs. Mahomes also led Kansas City with 57 rushing yards, while Travis Kelce hauled in a touchdown pass. The Chiefs were hoping for one last chance but Herbert scrambled for 19 yards on third-and-14 just before the two-minute warning. That allowed the Chargers to run out the clock on kneeldowns. With the win, the Chargers snapped a seven-game slide against the Chiefs. "It was just another game for us," Herbert said afterward in a YouTube on-field interview. "We came out here and executed and did what we needed to do. ... We have a lot of respect for them. We knew it would be a dogfight." Los Angeles had a 394-347 edge in total offense over Kansas City, which lost receiver Xavier Worthy (right shoulder) on the third offensive play. The Chiefs finally scored a touchdown on Mahomes' 11-yard run with 8:05 left in the third quarter to pull within 13-12. But Harrison Butker was wide right on the extra point. "We can learn from this," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "Moving forward, I have to make sure I get my team in a better state coming out and playing with more emotion. ... There were some good things, but we have to make sure we take care of business, and that's my responsibility." The Chargers pushed their lead to eight when Herbert hit Allen on an 11-yard scoring pass with 32 seconds left in the third period. Kansas City answered early in the fourth quarter when Mahomes hit a wide-open Kelce at the 25-yard line and the latter completed the 37-yard scoring pass to bring the Chiefs within 20-18. The ensuing two-point conversion failed when Teair Tart swatted away Mahomes' throw with his left hand. The Chargers then moved 74 yards on 11 plays with Herbert tossing a 23-yard touchdown pass to Johnston to make it a 27-18 lead with 5:02 left. Butker's 27-yard field goal pulled the Chiefs within six with 2:34 to play. The Chargers scored the game's first 10 points. Herbert threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Johnston to cap the team's first drive and Cameron Dicker kicked a 39-yard field goal with 13:47 left in the first half. Kansas City got on the board on Butker's 35-yard field goal with 4:50 left. The 16-play drive included two fourth-down conversions. "I think in general they came out with more energy than we did," Mahomes said. "We didn't execute. I missed some throws down the field and obviously we didn't play good enough in the first half." Dicker booted a 36-yard field goal to give the Chargers a 13-3 lead with 45 seconds left in the half. However, rookie Omarion Hampton ran out of bounds on the previous play instead of sliding down inbounds, and that cost his team three points when the Chiefs took advantage of the remaining time. Kansas City was able to put together a five-play drive, and the field-goal unit scrambled on in the final seconds. Butker kicked a 59-yard field goal to end the half and cut Los Angeles' lead to 13-6. --Field Level Media

These six NFL teams could be prone to very disappointing seasons in 2025

These six NFL teams could be prone to very disappointing seasons in 2025

ASHBURN, VA − The2025 NFL regular seasonis underway, two of its 272 games already in the books – both involving teams, thePhiladelphia EaglesandKansas City Chiefs,which met in Super Bowl 59. But while there's little doubt those outfits will again be bona fide contenders leading up to Super Bowl 60, other clubs presumed to be relevant might be displaying early cracks and perhaps be especially vulnerable to a wider variance of seasonal outcomes (aside from the unpredictable catastrophic injuries that can change any organization's trajectory). Some squads are already nicked up, while others are hoping that the business of football hasn't infringed too far into the field of play. One that needed most of the summer to resolve a pressing financial matter was theWashington Commanders,an NFC title game entry in Januarybut one that couldn't meet teamcaptain Terry McLaurin's contractual demandsuntil late August. Now, McLaurin and the team are hoping he won't become one of the holdouts – or holdins nowadays – who might be more prone to soft tissue injuries in September after missing the bulk of or all of training camp. "(T)here's a difference between being in shape, football shape, and then game shape, you know what I mean?" McLaurin asked rhetoricallyafter signing a three-year extension last week that could pay him up to $97 million. "(Y)ou go into game one, you're like, 'Whew, I'm winded,' you know what I mean? And so that's just the process of football. But I've done everything that the training staff and the coaching staff have asked me to do since I've been here. I'm going to continue to do that, and there's a great plan in place for me to continue to ramp up so  … there aren't any setbacks." The Commanders and other teams rolling the dice in some capacity can only hope the same. But with regular-season openers just days away for most franchises, these six seem to run a substantial risk of experiencing what could be surprisingly poor campaigns. While McLaurin awaited his deal, he was rehabbing a nagging ankle injury for most of the summer. Starting WR Noah Brown is on the way back from a lingering knee injury at a time when the offense is also adapting to a reimagined backfield that might wind up heavily relying on rookie Jacory Croskey-Merrittfollowing the trade of Brian Robinson Jr.to the San Francisco 49ers. And as good as second-year QB Jayden Daniels is and will be, a team with such heightened expectations could also be due for a natural regression given eight of its 12 wins in 2024 came by six or fewer points – one of those in overtime andanother on a Hail Mary. 2025 NFL RECORD PROJECTIONS:Who wins Super Bowl 60? (Hint: not the Eagles) Both have capable rosters loaded with veteran talent that would seemingly fuel hopes of playoff contention in the ATL and Twin Cities. But each team's hopes are also inextricably linked to a second-year quarterback taken in Round 1 of the 2024 draft who's nevertheless far less experienced than his peers. The Falcons' Michael Penix Jr. got three starts as a rookie, while the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy had none after suffering a season-ending knee injury a year ago. Interestingly, neither has extensive preseason reps under his belt, either. McCarthy, who will make his regular-season debut Monday night in Chicago, has the benefit of playing for abudding offensive mastermind in Kevin O'Connellbut must also navigate what might be the league's toughest division. Penix is surrounded by weaponry in what seems like a winnable division. Yet Atlanta has already lost RT Kaleb McGary, who protects the blind side of southpaw Penix, to a knee injury that will keep him out until 2026. Veteran QB2 Kirk Cousins is also lurking in the background. But at least one of those teams is virtually guaranteed a decent start … given they'll meet in Week 2. NFL POWER RANKINGS:Who's riding high heading into Week 1? Opening at Atlanta on Sunday, they'll also get an early look at the Falcons, who swept the Bucs in 2024 – albeit with Cousins in the saddle. But the perennial NFC South champions will have to navigate the early stages of the season without, arguably, their best player (LT Tristan Wirfs) and will also have to rely heavily on rookie WR Emeka Egbuka with injured Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan still several weeks away from suiting up on Sundays. After facing the Falcons, the Bucs will play four teams over a six-week stretch that won at least 10 games in 2024 – meaning they could be in serious jeopardy of falling into a deep hole by the time November arrives. Calendar year 2025 began with owner Stephen Ross saying he expected more from coach Mike McDaniel and GM Chris Grier coming off an 8-9 campaign. Since then, the team has lost LT Terron Armstead, S Jevon Holland, CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith, among others. QB Tua Tagovailoa revealed this summer that there are still trust issues between volatile WR Tyreek Hill and the locker room. Then the team was embarrassed during joint practices at Chicago and Detroit. Finally, Jacksonville's reserves largely had their way with Miami's starters in the preseason finale. Woof. With six of their first eight opponents non-playoff qualifiers in 2024, maybe the Fins can work out (or mask) their issues. But a team trying to debunk a narrative that it's soft better not waste much time,especially if it wants to save McDaniel's job. The team that most recently won the NFC West and came closest to knocking the Eagles out of the 2024 postseason could easily go 12-5, as it did when it won Super Bowl 56 nearly four years ago. It could also go 5-12, as it did the season after the Super Bowl 56 triumph. As was true in 2022, everything seemingly hinges on the health of QB Matthew Stafford, now 37 and emerging from a training camp when he barely practiced due to a balky back. Since coming to LA in 2021, Stafford has a 34-23 regular-season record. The Rams are 3-8 without him. "I love the Rams' chances with a healthy Matthew Stafford. But," said former New York Giants vice president of player personnel Marc Ross, "this is scary. "Backs and necks (are) always super tricky and very difficult to deal with – even with younger players," added Ross, now an NFL Network analyst. "(O)lder players, they don't get healthier … Is it pain? Is it functionality? And that's probably something they don't even 100 percent know because of the difficulty in evaluating a back. … Even once he gets on the field, how much of (him) will be the Pro Bowl-level Matthew Stafford, Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford that we'll see?" It could bethebiggest in the league question entering the 2025 season. All NFL news on and off the field.Sign upfor USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Reform UK is on the rise. Leader Nigel Farage hopes the Trump playbook can propel him to power

Reform UK is on the rise. Leader Nigel Farage hopes the Trump playbook can propel him to power

LONDON (AP) — The political pitch sounded familiar: The country is in crisis. The government must slashimmigration, crack down on crime, ditch green energy targets and reopen factories to "make Britain great again." The words ofNigel Farageto his Reform UK party's two-day annual convention echoed themes that propelledU.S. President Donald Trumpback to the White House. Farage, the veteran hard-right politician, hopes a similar strategy can make him prime minister – a once-unthinkable idea that allies and opponents alike are taking seriously. "If an election were held now, Reform would be the largest party by far, albeit probably short of an overall majority," John Curtice, professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, wrote on the BBC website. "The question hanging over the party is - can they sustain this?" Farage aims to go from outsider to power Farage played a major role in taking the U.K.out of the European Unionin 2020, but has never held political power. He has led a succession of small, fractious parties and only became a lawmaker in 2024 after seven failed attempts to get elected to Parliament. Reform U.K. has only four lawmakers out of 650 in the House of Commons and got about 14% of the vote inlast year's national election. But for months it has led opinion polls, ahead of the center-left governing Labour Party and the main opposition Conservatives, which Reform aims to replace as Britain's major party on the political right. "Our country is in a very bad place," Farage told delegates at the convention, which ends Saturday in Birmingham, central England. "We are the last chance the country has got to get this country back on track." Founded in 2018 as the Brexit Party, Reform now claims to have 240,000 members. In May, itwon controlof a dozen local authorities in England with Trump-like promises like "a DOGE for every county," inspired byElon Musk's controversialspending-slashing agency. Farage made the most of Parliament's summer recess, when many politicians go on vacation, by holding regular news conferences to announce headline-grabbing policies like aplan to deporteveryone who arrives in Britain without authorization. He has capitalized on — critics say stoked — concerns about migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats, which he has called an invasion. He welcomed protests outside hotels housing asylum-seekers over the summer, some of which turned violent. Opponents say Farage has demonized migrants and fueled misinformation. Last year, he inaccurately suggested police were withholding information about astabbing rampage at a dance classthat left three children dead. False claims that the attacker was an asylum-seeker sparked days of rioting across England. Reform faces the competence test Reform's success in May's local elections has brought responsibilities that will test the party's competence and popularity. Some of the positions he shares withDonald Trump, such as opposition to net-zero climate goals, are unpopular in Britain. Past praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin could also be a disadvantage in a country where most people back Ukraine in its war against Moscow's invasion. Farage's depiction of Britain as a crime-ridden dystopia "in societal breakdown" has also met with skepticism. In Washington on Wednesday, Farage testified to the House Judiciary Committee about what he called the "awful authoritarian situation" and lack of free speech in the U.K., citing the arrest of TV comedy writer Graham Linehan for tweets attacking transgender people and the jailing of Lucy Connolly, a woman who was sentenced to 31 months in prison for a social media post urging people to burn down hotels full of asylum-seekers. "At what point did we become North Korea?" Farage asked rhetorically. Farage was welcomed by Republicans on the committee, but was excoriated by Democratic Rep.Jamie Raskinas a "Putin-loving free speech impostor and Trump sycophant." In London,Prime Minister Keir Starmernoted Farage's absence from the House of Commons, saying that he had "flown to America to badmouth and talk down our country." Other parties scramble to respond Both the Conservatives and Labour are struggling to respond to Reform's rise. Starmer has been criticized for not confronting the far-right party more strongly, instead seeming to agree with some of its talking points about immigration. In a May speech, Starmer said Britain risked becoming an "island of strangers," a phrase that some felt echoed Conservative politician Enoch Powell's notorious 1968 speech predicting "rivers of blood" as a result of mass immigration. Starmer later said he regretted using the phrase. Political scientist Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte, who studied reaction to the speech, said Labour is "legitimizing the immigration debate" in a way that plays into Reform's hands and alienates its own supporters. "Anti-immigration voters are not convinced by the turn, whereas pro-immigration voters are, and they're the ones who become really upset about it," said Turnbull-Dugarte, an associate professor at the University of Southampton. The media also comes in for criticism for amplifying Farage. The Green Party, which has the same number of lawmakers, receives a fraction of the attention. Reform is far ahead in opinion polls, however. The government does not have to call an election until 2029, and a lot can happen in four years. Farage said Friday that amid instability in Starmer's government, "there is every chance now of a general election happening in 2027, and we must be ready for that moment."

Trump administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini

Trump administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini

The Trump administration informedKilmar Abrego Garciaon Friday that it now plans to deport him to the tiny African nation of Eswatini, as he continues to fight efforts to re-deport him. In an email to the Maryland man, which was obtained by CNN, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said that given Abrego Garcia's concerns about being deported to several other countries, they now seek to remove him to Eswatini. The Department of Homeland Security previously notified Abrego Garcia of plans todeport him to Uganda, but he objected to the removal, citing fears of being persecuted or tortured. "That claim of fear is hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries," read the email, which listed the countries, including his home country of El Salvador, where he spent weeks in a notorious mega prison earlier this year after he was mistakenly deported. "Nonetheless, we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini, Africa," the email added. An ICE official confirmed that Abrego Garcia will be deported to Eswatini, telling CNN, "TRUE: An immigration judge ordered him removed and ICE will comply with that order." Abrego Garcia is currently in ICE custody after being brought back to the US to face human smuggling charges, but the Trump administration is trying to quickly deport him again, even before the trial concludes. Last week, the federal judge overseeing Abrego Garcia's case ruled that hecannot be deported until at least early October,after Trump administration officials are expected to testify about the government's efforts to re-deport him. Abrego Garcia has said he prefers to be sent to Costa Rica, a country that has said it would be willing to give him some form of legal status should he be sent there. The administration previously offered to eventually deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica in exchange for a guilty plea, his lawyers told the judge overseeing his human trafficking case last month. However, Abrego Garcia did not accept the offer, according to a source familiar with his case. Eswatini— formerly known as Swaziland — is located in Southeast Africa and is roughly the size of New Jersey. Governed by a monarch who has absolute power, Eswatini is one of four African countries that have struck a deal with the Trump administration to receive foreign deportees, along with Rwanda, South Sudan andUganda. Abrego Garcia is also separately seeking torenew his bid for asylum, a process that will play out before an immigration judge within the Justice Department.

MLB may be out of 'saviors' 30 years after Cal Ripken's captivating streak

MLB may be out of 'saviors' 30 years after Cal Ripken's captivating streak

BALTIMORE –Cal Ripken Jr.knows what it takes and how it feels to play in 2,632 consecutive baseball games – the aches and pains and close calls wrought by wrenched backs and bench-clearing brawls, and the daggers of outside observers who think an All-Star shortstop would actually be more of a team player if he simply sat down. Yet despite this singular experience, Ripken, now 65 years old, is humble enough to admit it's not the stuff of superhumans. "I still feel," he said Sept. 5, "somebody else will do it." Here we are, though, 30 years later, and only Miguel Tejada, the former Orioles and OaklandAthleticsinfielder, has cracked four figures, his streak ending in 2007 at 1,152 games.Matt Olson, the Atlanta Braves first baseman, has the longest current active streak at 760 games. MLB LOCKOUT IN 2026?MLB's next labor war is coming in hot And as the Orioles mark the 30thanniversary of Sept. 6, 1995, when Ripken played in his 2,131stconsecutive game, and hit a home run in front of the President, and the numerals on Camden Yards' warehouse flipped to the magic number and confirmed Ripken surpassed Lou Gehrig's unbreakable record, the streak's subtle greatness and its enormity stand untouched. It's the simplest act – showing up to work every day, to earn a multi-million dollar paycheck playing a game, no less – yet one that resonated for the masses. And we'd be remiss not to mention the conditions under which he broke the record: With baseball returning from a nasty work stoppage that canceled the 1994 World Series, truncated the '95 season and pushed fans toward alternate means of spending their time and money, some never to return. Three decades later, things are only so different: Major League Baseball owners, including Orioles steward David Rubenstein, are suggesting or agitating once again for a salary cap, a hard line that created baseball's nuclear winter of '94 and sent the industry into a tailspin. Cal Ripken shakes hands with fans after breaking Lou Gehrig's consecutive games record with 2,131. It was Ripken, pundits suggested, who first"saved baseball,"his streak leaping from the sports pages toGood Morning America-worthy chatter, signing autographs late into the night after he played nine innings, patiently answering media queries every day the O's blew into a new town. Three years later, the Mark McGwire-Sammy Sosa home run showdown was next to"save baseball,"the sluggers' multi-cultural race to 70 and 66 home runs creating so many warm memories that Big Mac's Mack Truck-sized build could be overlooked until many years later. Yet as we recount baseball's climb off the mat of its most egregious self-inflicted wound, one thing becomes apparent: The game is just about out of party tricks. With commissioner Rob Manfred locking the players out once before (December 2021 feels like yesterday) and claiming this time around that a lockout can be a good thing (??), the very worst can be expected come December 2026. Vegas, or the sports book inside your little phone, hasn't yet set odds on whether games will be missed in 2027, yet a betting person might opt for yes on that question. This time around, the buttons, it seems, have all been pushed. A clock to move the game along faster and make it friendlier for TV and the fan in the park? (Ah, well). A superstar player so unbelievably dynamic that he can throw 100 mph and hit 50 homers with regularity while appealing to fans in two hemispheres? (Been there). A decade-plus of unrepentant performance-enhancing drug use, to goose the home run numbers and torch the record book as we know it? (Yeah, let's not do that again). No, Ripken was truly 1 of 1. A day before he'd be honored at Camden Yards, he relaxed in the Orioles dugout under a plaque of his father, who managed him for two seasons and remained a fount of wisdom until his 1999 death. It was Ripken Sr. and wife Vi who were Junior's first call in 1993, after a bench-clearing incidenton June 6against theSeattle Marinersresulted in Ripken hearing a pop in his knee. A phalanx of Mariners collapsed him into a pile after Mike Mussina hit Bill Haselman with a pitch and the dugouts emptied Sore the next day, trainers determined him fit to play, doubt reigning until he'd use that leg to plant and throw. And of course the first ball was hit to Ripken in the hole at short. "I said 'Mom, I hurt myself in the brawl. I don't know what it's going to be like, but I might not play today,'" Ripken recalls. "The cool part about it was they lived 45 minutes away, and in 45 minutes exactly they were knocking on my door. "Baseball sometimes can test you. First play I got was a two-hopper in the hole. I wasn't sure it was going to hold. But I planted on it and it held." As did Ripken in 1997 when, record in hand, a herniated disc roiled his back. Doctors recommended he take the last six weeks off. Yet the Orioles, no longer a sad sack after years of futility since Ripken and Co. won the 1983 World Series, were in contention. "We were good. And when you endure a rebuilding process and the pain of getting to the point of being good, you don't want to miss out on good," says Ripken. "And I asked the doctor, if I can play, if I can endure the pain, will I do any permanent damage? And the doctor said no." The Orioles won the division and reached the ALCS. One year later, just as the Streak was a footnote and the McGwire-Sosa chemical romance neared its apex, Ripken stunned the baseball world by sitting down, on a Sunday Night Baseball tilt Sept. 19. Suddenly, the 2,131 obsession gave way to a number – 2,632 - so far away that it takes a minute to make sure you're reading it right. Ripken says his feat resonated with folks who'd tell him about their own streaks – perfect attendance through high school, or showing up to work, or far more trivial pursuits. He's right: We may see another player reach those heights. Perhaps it will be the Braves' Olson. Hey, he's an affable, low-key dude and a great enough player to earn three All-Star nods, two Gold Gloves and hit 54 home runs in a single season. All he needs to do is stay healthy for 11 years and play until he's 42. Yeah, not easy. And even if that was realistic, it wouldn't be the same. Every late-night signature scrawled beneath dying stadium lights, every assured glance at a lineup card knowing he'd be in there, every unbelievably timely home run he hit in consecutive games Nos. 2,129, 2,130 and 2,131 cannot be replicated. No, Ripken and his streak were a gift to the game. And as another gray winter lurks on the horizon for baseball, it'd be helpful if stakeholders realized that this time around, he won't be there to save them.
