Cardinals release CB Marco Wilson in the midst of a disappointing third season

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 19:52:47 GMT

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have released cornerback Marco Wilson, a third-year player who began the season as a starter but lost his job after a rough adjustment to the team’s new defense.Wilson was a fourth-round pick in 2021 out of Florida and played in 43 games, including 37 starts. The Cardinals announced he had been released on Monday.Wilson had some good moments last year in his second NFL season, but regressed this fall under a first-year coaching staff that includes head coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis. Wilson routinely gave up big plays over the first 11 games before he was relegated to special teams.He played zero defensive snaps over the past four weeks.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Source

Cowboys need to smooth the rough edges of their offense as they look toward the playoffs

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 19:52:47 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott’s sporadic offense is as good a reason as any why Dallas has lost consecutive games for the first time in two years.Finding consistency for one of the NFL’s most productive units will be a priority in the final two regular-season games for the playoff-bound Cowboys (10-5), starting Saturday night at home against NFC North champion Detroit (11-4).The offense was really good on the first two drives in a 22-20 loss at Miami, but didn’t come out of a midgame funk until the Dolphins had a two-score lead (16-7) midway through the third quarter. The stretch of three possessions with three punts and just one first down looked a lot like a week earlier in Buffalo, when the Cowboys barely had 100 yards of total offense before a meaningless fourth-quarter touchdown drive in a 31-10 loss.“We know who we are, and we know when we get going,” Prescott said. “You saw it in the first two drives and you saw it late in the game there. It’s just...

Seahawks have playoff destiny in their control after 2nd straight dramatic victory

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 19:52:47 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — With two weeks left in the regular season, the Seattle Seahawks are in control of their postseason fate.In some ways, that seems unthinkable. Seattle was in a tailspin just a month ago, losing four straight games for the first time under Pete Carroll. It’s been a circuitous route getting to this point.But it’s simple for Seattle thanks to two straight 20-17 wins, the second one coming on Sunday at Tennessee. If the Seahawks (8-7) win their final two games, beginning this Sunday at home against Pittsburgh, they will make the playoffs for the 11th time in Carroll’s tenure.A postseason berth would be an accomplishment. But at this point, is just getting into the playoffs satisfying enough, especially for a team that has only rarely looked like it’s good enough to possibly win a game or two in the postseason?“We’ll find out what happens if we’re fortunate enough to make to the playoffs how we play against whomever we play and we’ll see what the heck happ...
