Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:52:43 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A bonanza of big plays made for an emphatic end Sunday to the 49ers’ losing streak.Their embattled defense dominated the NFL’s hottest team, Brock Purdy directed an explosive-play offense, and the 49ers prevailed 27-3 over the host Jaguars.Playing before a bipartisan crowd and under a chilly layer of fog, the 49ers (6-3) snapped their three-game skid without any fear of the fourth-quarter follies that previously derailed them.The Jaguars (6-3) had won a NFL-best five in a row (and 11-of-13 regular-season games dating to last season) before getting completely overwhelmed and committing four turnovers.This post-bye romp showcased the 49ers’ all-around talents last seen when they improved to 5-0 with a 42-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Next up is a home game Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the 49ers dive into the season’s most-anticipated gauntlet (at Seattle on Thanksgiving night, then at Philadelphia the following Sun...

New York (CNN) — When Donald Trump launches his defense Monday against allegations that he, his adult sons and his business defrauded lenders and insurers to enrich themselves, the first witness his lawyers will call is the former president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., as they aim to convince the judge that they didn’t intentionally do anything wrong.Trump Jr., a defendant in the case, testified earlier this month when he was called by New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office, which filed the fraud lawsuit.Under oath, he denied any role in the preparation of his father’s financial statements and said he consulted with lawyers and accountants before he signed off on the statements as trustee of his father’s trust and certified their accuracy annually to banks that loaned them millions of dollars.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Off to an NBA-worst 1-8 start, the Memphis Grizzlies sure could use Ja Morant in the lineup. They’ll have to wait until mid-December though.That’s when the two-time All-Star guard’s 25-game suspension is set to end. Morant can’t be in the arena when the Grizzlies are playing games, but he’s around the team the rest of the time.“He’s fully involved in practices, film sessions, individual workouts, team dinners, the social things that they’re doing in the hotel room after games,” coach Taylor Jenkins said before Sunday’s game against the Clippers.Morant was punished by the league as the result of twice being filmed on social media displaying a gun. He was first suspended eight games in March after a video surfaced of him brandishing a gun at a strip club in Denver, and then was set down for 25 games to start this season after another video was recorded inside a car in May.“He’s got a great positive attitude throughout this,” Jenki...
