ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles still control the NFC East, even after rare consecutive losses and allowing the Dallas Cowboys to match them atop the division. The Eagles are also far from being a dominant team despite their 10-3 record after their 33-13 loss at Dallas on Sunday night. “I think the biggest thing for this team now is really find out who the dudes are,” veteran defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said. “I’ve been part of teams where the dudes in the locker room do something about it, and I’ve been on teams where it kind of crumbles. But now it’s time to see the real leadership … leaders on this team, myself included, step up and do something about it.”There have been red-zone struggles for their defense, the close scores even in the games they have won and the turnovers.

DC area working toward dry weather after Sunday storms

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 08:48:32 GMT

Sunday’s rainstorms are expected to stretch well into Monday, bringing the potential for rain, cooler temperatures and wet snow to the D.C. area ahead of a brief break from wet weather.Through the early morning hours, WTOP meteorologist Lauryn Ricketts is predicting continued rain that’s unlikely to be stronger than Sunday’s storms.“Get ready for a wet night as we will continue to see rain push across our area. Cold air will also push in from the west, eventually changing some rain to wet snow/sleet before it pushes out for good by Monday morning. ” Ricketts tells WTOP.Ricketts said that while a lot of rain has been falling across the area, any of the wet snow or sleet the area could see is unlikely to stick. A coat of snow on grassy surfaces or tree branches, she said is likely to be the most you see.Aside from wet roadways, Ricketts said, drivers should only expect a few impacts through the morning drive.“Low visibility because of fog and heavy ...

But keep playing like this, and we’re going to have an opportunity to get back there.”Joey Daccord finished with 23 saves for the Kraken, who have been blanked twice during the second-longest losing streak in franchise history.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Why promise net zero emissions when you can go even lower, such as negative emissions?As countries at the COP28 climate talks are wrangling over ways to lower their greenhouse gas emissions, a Danish-led group of countries has decided to set the ultimate goal: to remove more carbon dioxide, the main source of global warming, from the atmosphere than they emit.The Group of Negative Emitters was launched Sunday in Dubai by Denmark, Finland and Panama, and aims to reach that goal by slashing emissions, protecting and expanding forests, and investing in new technologies. Panama has already reached the goal with its vast forests that act as a huge carbon sink. Finland and Denmark hope to achieve this by 2035 and 2045, respectively.“It’s a huge challenge to become carbon neutral and then carbon negative and we are not yet there,” cautioned Kai Mykkänen, Finland’s environment minister, “but we are really targeting this.”For the rich Nordic country, the st...
