WR Jerry Jeudy’s final five games could impact not only Broncos’ playoff run, but also club’s future plans for the position

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:28:47 GMT

Any good wide receiver always thinks he’s open.There’s a telltale sign when he knows it.He throws his hand up and waves, a signal to the quarterback: Throw it here. I’m gone.Jerry Jeudy threw his hands up repeatedly last week at Houston.He was open, too. But the gesturing came after plays rather than during them.With all the subtlety of a neon sign, it showed his frustration rather than his lightning ability to separate from defensive backs.A single play rarely makes the difference in an NFL game, but any of three times Jeudy found himself all alone over the final three quarters could have changed the complexion of a 22-17 loss that came up eight yards short for the Broncos.It’s mostly been that kind of season for Jeudy.His numbers are down. His frustration’s shown up multiple times, probably more frequently than he’s made game-changing plays.At the same time, this is right about the spot on the calendar when he went on a tear last year.So are the near misses in Texas ju...

By Wafaa Shurafa, Julia Frankel and Lee Keath | Associated PressDEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israel said Friday that the military was rounding up Palestinian men in northern Gaza for interrogation, searching for Hamas militants, while desperate Palestinians in the south crowded into an ever-shrinking area, and the U.N. warned that its aid operation is “in tatters.”The detentions pointed to Israeli efforts to secure the military’s hold on northern Gaza as the war entered its third month. Furious urban fighting has continued in the north, underscoring Hamas’ heavy resistance, and tens of thousands of residents are believed to remain in the area six weeks after troops and tanks rolled in.The first images of mass detentions emerged Thursday from the northern town of Beit Lahiya, showing dozens of men kneeling or sitting in the streets, stripped down to their underwear, their hands bound behind their backs and some with their heads bowed.
