Chiefs rue more penalties, miscues and questionable officiating in loss to Packers

Published Fri, 14 Mar 2025 07:14:20 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs could put the blame for their loss in Green Bay on Sunday night on a whole lot of people.Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who outplayed league MVP Patrick Mahomes. The Green Bay wide receivers, who made all the plays that Kansas City’s group has failed to make so much of the season. And yes, the officials, whose questionable decisions in the final few minutes — including two pass interference penalties that were not called — might very well have altered the outcome.Yet the Chiefs, whose 27-19 loss was their third in the past five weeks, have enough championship pedigree to carry most of the blame on their own shoulders. Mahomes threw an interception late in the game, they still were flagged five times for 50 yards as penalties continued to be a problem, and they went just 2 for 4 when they reached the red zone.Fix those problems and those questionable decisions by referee Brad Allen’s crew might not have made a difference.“Y...

But the Justice Department is already fighting another smallish deal — JetBlue’s proposal to buy Spirit Airlines.Alaska Airlines parent Alaska Air Group announced Sunday that it will pay $18 per share for Hawaiian — a huge premium over Hawaiian’s closing stock price on Friday. Hawaiian has struggled to recover from the pandemic and new competition from Southwest on intra-islands flights. It has lost $159 million so far this year. Alaska says Hawaiian will continue to operate as a stand-alone brand, an unusual step. Here’s some inform...

DENVER (KDVR) -- Christmas and Denver are a perfect match. With the cold -- and most often snowy -- winter climate and nearby mountains, the holiday spirit seems to come naturally to the Mile High City.So, it may come as no surprise to some that one of the most popular holiday traditions was created in Denver in the 1910s.Or, at least that's the legend. When do Coloradans hang Christmas lights? Much like the origin of the cheeseburger, others have been credited with the creation of the first outdoor Christmas lights.However, the story goes that in 1914, David Dwight Sturgeon -- of Sturgeon Electric fame -- dipped ordinary bulbs in paint, strung them on a cord, and hung them on a tree outside his ill son's bedroom window to cheer him up.The word spread quickly and people started coming from miles away to see the beautiful sight outside the Sturgeon home. Even if the story is nothing but a Mile High City legend, the love Denver has for outdoor holiday lights is no joke.There are eve...
