Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has gotten even better in his second season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:47:35 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — There are days after practice when New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux sits in a chair in the locker room across from Saquon Barkley, stares at a chess board and mulls his next move.It usually doesn’t take long. It’s a bit of a mismatch going against the star running back. Thibodeaux has been playing a while and he seemingly is a move ahead of Barkley, who is a relative novice at the game.It’s been that way on the field for Thibodeaux, too. The No. 5 pick in the 2022 draft has gotten even better after an excellent rookie season.Through 13 games, Thibodeaux has career highs of 12 tackles for loss, 11 1/2 sacks and three forced fumbles — including one in each of the last two games.His play has been a major reason the Giants (5-8) have won three straight games and are still in the hunt for a playoff spot as they prepare to visit New Orleans (6-7) on Sunday.“He’s leading the defense,” defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said Thu...

Viktor Orbán both relented unexpectedly and refused to budge on Day One of the European Council summit.EU leaders on Thursday agreed to open accession talks with Kyiv, taking a definitive step toward Ukraine’s integration into the European project by bypassing Moscow’s closest ally in the bloc: the Hungarian prime minister.But they failed to agree on a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine and on a renegotiation of the shared EU budget. That decision was postponed to an extraordinary leaders’ meeting in January, European Council President Charles Michel told reporters at the end of the first day of the summit. “Two concessions in one summit was too much to sell back home in Hungary,” said one official briefed on the negotiations. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters early Friday morning he was optimistic a budget deal could be reached in January. The decision on enlargement, to open talks with Ukraine and Moldova, was key. So important that Michel took the un...
