In Brief: Gonzalez takes in viral moment

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez has lived with obsessive-compulsive disorder his entire life.

It was in the spotlight on national television Sunday night before he made the game-winning kick at Tampa Bay to give the franchise its first playoff win in nearly two decades.

Gonzalez is glad he has gotten the chance to share his story and correct misinformation about OCD, something teammates have seen this season as they’ve done their best to help him do his job.

Gonzalez addressed the situation Thursday as he and the Commanders made their final preparations to play at Detroit on Saturday night.

PGA TOUR SET TO MOVE EVENT

By The Associated Press

The PGA Tour is moving the Genesis Invitational out of Riviera Country Club next month because of the deadly wildfires that have decimated part of Los Angeles.

Riviera is in part of the evacuation zone although the 99-year-old course was not damaged.

The tour expects to announce a new location in the coming days.

It is relocating after consulting with the title sponsor, the club and the Tiger Woods foundation that hosts the tournament.

It will be the first time since 1998 that the PGA Tour’s tournament in Los Angeles is not played at Riviera.

STAGE IS SET FOR RAVENS, BILLS

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The only thing Ravens coach John Harbaugh figures is missing in preparation for Baltimore’s divisional round playoff showdown in Buffalo is having the deep and resonant voice of late NFL Films broadcaster John Facenda serve as narrator.

The matchup has the potential of being a classic pitting the NFL’s leading MVP candidates in quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.

And both teams have scores to settle.

The Ravens trampled the Bills in a 35-10 win in Week 4.

Meantime, Buffalo won the only playoff meeting with a 17-3 decision over Baltimore in the 2020 divisional round.

VONN TO RETIRE AGAIN AFTER ’26

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Lindsey Vonn is just getting started on her comeback to ski racing at age 40 with her new titanium knee.

She already has an endpoint in mind though.

If she can make it to next year’s Olympics when women’s races will be held on one of her favorite courses in Cortina that would be the perfect place to wrap up this portion of her career.

Vonn tells The Associated Press she “would never go past that,” and that the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games “would be a great way to end things — for once and for all.”

But first Vonn wants to get herself back into podium contention. She is training in Italy currently, for the World Cup.

Starting at $2.99/week.
