The quarterback found Lawayne McCoy on the sideline for a 54-yard catch-and-run TD with 4:42 to go before his 7-yard TD run with 1:28 left.

The US tariff on Canadian imports could send already soaring hockey gear prices even higher
Hockey families in the U.S. are feeling the pinch from rising equipment costs. Kelly Rand, whose teenage sons play in Minnesota, says gear prices have skyrocketed. A helmet that cost $400 in 2022 now costs $1,000. The recent 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, imposed by the Trump administration, could add to the burden. Hockey sticks and skates are among the affected items. The tariffs threaten to increase costs even more. The Sports & Fitness Industry Association warns this could impact the sport’s growth, despite a 7% rise in participation over the past three years.

NEW YORK (AP) — Late-night finishes are a hallmark of the U.S. Open.

Iranian soccer players who sought asylum in Australia say anthem silence was protest against Tehran
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Two members of the Iranian women’s soccer team who claimed asylum in Australia have confirmed their pivotal refusal to sing the national anthem during the Women’s Asian Cup in March was a protest against Tehran. The first media interview with Atefeh Ramezanisadeh and Fatemeh Pasandideh since they abandoned their team to become refugees was broadcast on Australia’s Nine Network’s “60 Minutes” program on Sunday. The team was criticized in Iran and branded as traitors in the media there for remaining silent when the Iranian national anthem was played ahead of a game on March 2. Some saw it as an act of resistance, while others interpreted it as a show of mourning.
Shohei Ohtani out of lineup again but Dodgers optimistic about Monday return
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani was out of the starting lineup for a fourth consecutive game Sunday night, but the Los Angeles Dodgers’ tentative plan is to have their designated hitter back Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. Ohtani’s current respite is due to ongoing left knee and right biceps soreness that has bothered him since before the All-Star break. Progress has been methodical, with Ohtani getting two days completely void of activity before hitting in the indoor batting cage Saturday. Ohtani was 7 for 51 with one home run over his last 13 games before getting his longest break since missing the last month of the 2022 season as a member of the Los Angeles Angels with an elbow injury.
