Port of Nogales, Arizona border patrol agents stopped over 1.2 million fentanyl pills and four pounds of fentanyl powder from entering the United States on Wednesday.

Port Director Michael W. Humphries of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection gave a breakdown of the drug acquisition on Thursday.

"CBP officers stopped two loads on Wednesday," Humphries said on Twitter. "First load contained approx. 541,000 fentanyl pills, 4 lbs fentanyl powder and 37.55 lbs of meth concealed in doors and rear panels of cars. Seven hours later, approx. 689,200 fentanyl pills were found hidden throughout a vehicle."

Just five days earlier, Humphries reported a seizure of 230,600 fentanyl pills in the spare tire of a wheel well of a car, and another 832,000 fentanyl pills in a different vehicle trying to enter the U.S. through the Port of Nogales.

Fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border with Mexico have continued to surge this year.

U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman issued a press release in August, saying, "The amount of fentanyl we are seizing at the border is staggering."

The comments came as the Justice Department revealed that several ports in Southern California were at the center of a surge in fentanyl seizures at the border, where roughly 60% of seizures of the deadly drug took place in 2022.

But that rise has been seen at ports all along the border, with law enforcement agencies on both sides of the southern border making record busts in 2022.

Law enforcement officials have warned of a spike in deaths linked to the illicit drug — which is 100 times more potent than morphine and can be fatal in tiny amounts. The drug is created primarily in Mexico using precursors from China, and it is then transferred across the land border of the U.S.

The Tennessee Titans have two of their quarterbacks on the sideline for their Week 17 matchup Thursday night.

Veteran starter Ryan Tannehill was already on the shelf due to a recent ankle injury, but now rookie quarterback Malik Willis is also expected to sit out against the Dallas Cowboys.

The team will start recently signed quarterback Joshua Dobbs, according to a report from CBS Sports.

The move is somewhat surprising considering Dobbs was signed off the Detroit Lions practice squad a little over a week ago.

The sixth-round draft pick has never started an NFL game.

The Titans took Willis in the third round of this year's draft. The former Liberty University standout has already stepped in to start a handful of games this season when Tannehill was injured.

Willis has a 1-2 record as a starter and has not quite shown the franchise he is ready to take the reins as the future starter.

Willis has completed 50.8% of his passes for 276 yards and three interceptions.

Willis was seen as a project coming out of college and still needs to develop as a passer. The rookie was an exceptional runner at the collegiate level.

Willis has racked up 123 yards on the ground and has a rushing touchdown on the season.

Dobbs has been in the NFL since 2017 and spent his first few years with the Steelers. Since then, he's mostly been a journeyman, primarily serving as a backup with the Jaguars, Browns and Lions. He did rejoin the Steelers in 2020. 

In his career, Dobbs has completed 10 passes for 45 yards and one interception.

Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys is mostly inconsequential to Tennessee as it relates to its playoff hopes this season.

Tennessee can afford to lose Thursday's game and still make the playoffs. The outcome of the Titans' Week 18 matchup against the Jaguars will determine the winner of the AFC South.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel previously ruled out Jeffery Simmons and other key contributors for Thursday night. Star running back Derrick Henry was officially listed as doubtful heading into the game and is also not expected to play.
