Lutz is good on second chance with 36-yard field goal in Broncos’ 24-22 win over Bills

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:14:24 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Wil Lutz got a do-over and kicked a 36-yard field goal as time expired, and the Denver Broncos won their third straight by rallying for a 24-22 victory over the sloppy, turnover-prone Buffalo Bills on Monday night.Lutz got a second chance after he missed wide right with four seconds remaining from 41 yards, but the play was negated when Buffalo was flagged for having 12 players on the field. Lutz also overcame his own struggles in a game he missed an extra point by hitting the left upright, and was unable to get another extra-point attempt off when holder Riley Dixon bobbled the snap.After Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen scampered in from 6 yards to give the Bills their first and only lead, Russell Wilson oversaw a 10-play, 57-yard drive to set up Lutz’s field goal. The key play of the drive came on third down and 10 from Buffalo’s 45 when Wilson — facing an all-out blitz — lobbed a pass deep over the middle intended for Jerry Jeudy, who was clearly interfer...

Leaders in D.C. are establishing a new pathway to local government jobs for students who graduate from historically Black colleges and universities in the District.There are two such schools — known as HBCUs — in D.C., including Howard University and the University of the District of Columbia.“We’re going to continue to bring the best and brightest graduating students from HBCUs to D.C. government,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “[If] you want to change communities one block at a time, the place you go is local government.”The initiative, which is called the “HBCU Public Service Program,” allows students graduating from HBCUs in D.C. to sign up for a yearlong paid apprenticeship with a local D.C. government agency.After the year is done, participants will be eligible for full-time employment in D.C. government.Applications for the program open in February.“Wherever I go in the city, I see talented people,” said Bowser. “We want...

How many snow days will Arlington students get this winter?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:14:24 GMT

Students in Arlington, Virginia, will have a number of traditional snow days before they have to log on for virtual classes this winter, Superintendent Francisco Durán said at last Thursday’s school board meeting.If a weather event prompts school to close, Durán said the school system will fully close for up to 13 days. The number is based on the school year’s calendar, which has to provide students with 180 days or 990 hours of class time to be in compliance with Virginia law.If the county uses each of those 13 days, Arlington Public Schools would then turn to distance learning to meet the annual learning requirements, Durán said. To avoid virtual learning once all of the traditional snow days are used, Durán said the county would have to consider extending the school year or disrupting spring break.“Our plan is to not disrupt the spring break or extend the school year,” Durán said Thursday. “If we go more than 13, we would, on those days, revert to distance learning. And obviously...
