Rookie QB Will Levis itching to play, help Titans finish season with wins NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel knows rookie Will Levis will benefit from playing in the Titans’ final two games this season if the quarterback’s sprained left ankle allows.Watching one game after starting eight games was tough enough. Levis made clear Wednesday he’s anxious to play. “I just want to go out there and win games and leave the season with a good taste in my mouth, you know?” Levis said. “We’ve had some tough losses and looking to just get the little things corrected, especially playing in a team this week who we just played two weeks ago.”The Titans (5-10) visit the Houston Texans (8-7) on Sunday, the same team that sacked Levis seven times in a 19-16 overtime loss on Dec. 17. The last sack in overtime bent Levis’ left leg, aggravating the ankle injury the rookie has been playing through since mid-November.Levis missed two practices last week and was limited Friday with his left leg heavily taped.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson makes a pitch for Kirk Cousins’ future in Minnesota

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson makes a pitch for Kirk Cousins’ future in Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With the future of the Minnesota Vikings’ offense in an uncertain position because of quarterback Kirk Cousins’ injury and pending free agency, star receiver Justin Jefferson once again made his feelings about Cousins well known on Wednesday.Cousins, who sustained a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in Week 8 at Green Bay, is nearing the end of a one-year, $35 million contract with Minnesota. Without the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, the Vikings’ offense has lacked consistency, and three QBs have started in his absence.Jefferson, who will enter the fifth season of his rookie contract next season and is due an extension, has appreciated his time with Cousins and seemingly would like Minnesota to maintain the status quo.“I feel like I’m always voicing my opinion on Kirk,” Jefferson said. “As much as people downgrade him and not want to give him his credit, I’m always the person that always gives him his credit. I’m always blessed and just accepting of the person ...

Man City rallies for 3-1 win at Everton to get Premier League campaign back on track LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester City had to come from behind to beat Everton 3-1 on Wednesday and climb back into the Premier League’s top four. Just back from winning its first Club World Cup title in Saudi Arabia, City went behind to Jack Harrison’s first-half goal but recovered after the break thanks to a well-taken strike by Phil Foden and a penalty by Julian Alvarez.Bernardo Silva added the third when he pounced on a poor clearance by Jordan Pickford to curl home into an empty net in the 86th. It was only City’s second win in seven league matches but lifted the defending champions above Tottenham into fourth place, five points behind leader Liverpool with a game in hand. Second-place Arsenal can move six points clear of City by beating West Ham on Thursday. City was without Erling Haaland again because of a foot injury and Pep Guardiola’s side had a sluggish start as Everton took the lead in the 29th minute. City midfielder Rodri was pressured into an uncharacteristi...

Brentford concedes farcical goal in 4-1 defeat to Wolves. Hwang Hee-chan scores twice BRENTFORD, England (AP) — South Korea forward Hwang Hee-chan scored twice as Wolverhampton took full advantage of Brentford’s defensive mistakes to secure a 4-1 win in the Premier League on Wednesday.Wolves followed up its win on Sunday over Chelsea by collecting another festive three points. It was a first victory in London in 15 attempts for Wolves, the last coming in a 2-0 win at Tottenham in February last year. But it was gifted to the visitors by a depleted Brentford side which could soon be looking nervously over its shoulder at the relegation battle after a fourth straight defeat and a sixth in seven matches.The first goal came in the 13th minute, when Pablo Sarabia’s cross was met by a header from the totally unmarked Mario Lemina to put Wolves ahead.What came next was farcical for the hosts as they played the ball back from their own kickoff toward goalkeeper Mark Flekken. Nathan Collins’ back pass to the Dutchman was under-hit and, barely 10 seconds after the r...

(KDVR) — Police in Aurora are investigating a failed break-in attempt that happened Tuesday night at Firing Line, a gun shop and shooting range in Aurora. “It's the sellability of guns, that they can make money on it and sell it on the street," store manager David Hannah said of the appeal to thieves.
