KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver Skyy Moore on injured reserve Monday, ending what had been a disappointing second season for the 2022 second-round draft pick.Chiefs coach Andy Reid said earlier in the day that Moore had some swelling in his knee, which caused him to play limited snaps during Sunday’s 27-17 win in New England. But in the time that he was on the field, Moore once again fumbled the ball away after a catch, only to be bailed out by a defensive holding penalty that gave Kansas City the ball back.The Chiefs, who improved to 9-5 with the win over the Patriots, were hopeful that Moore could improve upon a rookie season in which he caught 22 passes for 250 yards but began to show promise late in the season and into the playoffs.Instead, Moore caught just 21 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown while ceding playing time to other wide receivers.The Chiefs have struggled to get consistent production from their pass-catchers all season, ...

For one horse power, I got 435,” as he greeted Erdoğan.In the Hollywood blockbuster “Barbie,” horses symbolize the epitome of masculinity — at least according to Ryan Gosling’s occasionally delusional character Ken, as he set up his deranged Mojo Dojo Casa House in Kendom.

Orbán has been bucking the EU over Ukraine, and largely resisted European leaders’ efforts to rein him in at the European Council summit in Brussels last week.Orbán and Erdoğan have been stablemates in slow-walking Sweden’s accession into NATO, which has prompted the military alliance’s top boss to...
