Blocked field goal, interception, lateral — and Patriots’ offense fails to capitalize on any of it

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:25:15 GMT

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A blocked field goal that prevented Miami from taking a three-score lead. An interception that set the Patriots up for what could have been the game-tying drive. Another missed Miami field goal. And none of it amounted to anything for New England on Sunday night.“The defense has continued to do a great job. They’ve just got to keep doing their thing,” said Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who for the second straight week had the ball with a chance to win the game in the final minute. “We’ve got to figure it out on our side.” The Patriots’ offense provided few highlights in a 24-17 loss to Miami that dropped them to 0-2 for the first time since Tom Brady took over as the starting quarterback. What’s worse: Jones failed to capitalize on big plays by the defense and special teams that kept the Patriots in the game.“This wasn’t our day,” Jones said. “Hasn’t been our day for the last two weeks.”One week after falling behind the defending NFC champion Philade...

Ukraine will sue Poland, Hungary and Slovakia over agricultural bans

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:25:15 GMT

Kyiv will sue Poland, Hungary and Slovakia over their refusal to drop a ban on Ukrainian agricultural products, Ukraine’s Trade Representative Taras Kachka told POLITICO’s Brussels Playbook in an exclusive interview.The bans by the three Central European countries are intended to protect their farmers from a surge in exports from grain superpower Ukraine, following Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea. Poland’s ruling party is especially keen to stem the flow as its fortunes in an election on October 15 are closely tied to a rural support base, which is embittered by the increase in Ukrainian agricultural exports. “It is important to prove that these actions are legally wrong. And that’s why we will start start legal proceedings tomorrow,” Kachka said Sunday evening, adding Kyiv was preparing to retaliate against Polish fruit and vegetable exports.The three countries have rebelled against the European Commission, which last Friday decided&nb...
