FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Travis Kelce could be spending some more time on the road in 2024 — and not just to see Taylor Swift in concert.The diva-dating tight end and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) are in an unexpected fight for the division title and might have to play their first AFC playoff road game of the Patrick Mahomes era. The Chiefs are the No. 3 seed in the conference heading into Sunday’s game against New England (3-10), which could force them to play twice on the road to defend their Super Bowl title.“The division is tight. The AFC is tight,” Mahomes said this week as he prepared to try and snap a two-game losing streak. “We have to go out there and play our best football and try to get better this week and try to find a way to get a win.”With the Denver Broncos winning six of their last seven games, Kansas City is down to a one-game lead in the division — closer than it’s been in more than two months. Even if the Chiefs hold on to win the AFC West for th...

Scholz addressed the recommendation to the Hungarian leader in front of his EU counterparts gathered around the circular negotiation table at Thursday’s leaders’ summit.The idea, Scholz said, would allow the 26 EU leaders who remained to approve Ukraine’s road to accession with the required unanimity — which EU rules say is also fulfilled if one leader is absent — while Orbán could still say he hadn’t voted in favor.After the two men spoke on the sidelines, Orbán left the room, paving the way for the EU’s historic decision to open accession negotiations with ...

He’s an athletic wing who played five college seasons – two at Rice before transferring for three at Southern California – before signing as an undrafted rookie free agent with the Miami Heat. He was a standout for the Heat’s summer league team, which included a 13-point performance against the Celtics that caught Boston’s eye.The 6-foot-8 Peterson – who was a two-time All-Pac 12 selection at USC – played in 13 games for G-League Sioux Falls, where he averaged 15.2 points per game, shot 40.7 percent from 3-point range and dished out 4.2 assists per game before he signed with the Celtics.Mazzulla thinks Peterson can take a similar path to a player like Sam Hauser, who was also undrafted in 2021 before developing in the G-League and now becoming a key player in the Celtics’ rota...
