SoCal Football, MLS Transfers, MLB Signings and More
33+ headlines from pro sports across the West Coast and Pacific time zone this week
Kudos to all the SoCal greats who played in the NFL playoffs last week.
By now, you know Commanders quarterback and San Bernardino native Jayden Daniels completed 70 percent of his passes for two touchdowns and almost 300 passing yards. He rushed for 50 yards too. Washington Linebacker Bobby Wagner, from Ontario, Calif., registered eight tackles. The Commanders defeated the Lions in Detroit.
That sent home Lions receiver Amon Ra St. Brown (Orange County, Calif.) and defensive back Khalil Dorsey (Ontario, Calif.)
Ravens safety Marcus Williams didn’t play due to injury. The Ravens lost due to their offense anyways.
Texans quarterback CJ Stroud had a rough day, taking six sacks and throwing no touchdown passes. His Texans went home.
I’m sure there are plenty of players I am forgetting. There were probably several other players from the region.
Anyways, MLS is returning in a few weeks. MLB teams are filling up their rosters before Spring Training next month. More Below.
