Rodgers’ struggles continue to mount in Steelers’ loss to Chargers

November 9, 2025

Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers began on a high note with four wins in five games to start the season. Since then, however, the 41-year-old quarterback’s performance has gotten progressively worse and worse as the Steelers have lost three of four. Rodgers went 16 of 31 for 161 yards with a touchdown, two interceptions and a fumble in Pittsburgh’s 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. He was sacked three times, took a safety and finished with a 50.6 passer rating, his lowest mark of the season.

Theater Review: ‘The Queen of Versailles’ with Kristin Chenoweth gets lost in a Hall of Mirrors

November 9, 2025

The new Broadway show “The Queen of Versailles” feels unfinished, despite reuniting Kristin Chenoweth with “Wicked” songwriter Stephen Schwartz, Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy says. Based on a 2012 documentary, it explores socialite Jackie Siegel’s attempt to build America’s largest private home. The musical, which opened Sunday at the St. James Theatre, struggles to find its tone, wavering between ridicule and admiration. It misses the chance to comment on wealth inequality. Set against the backdrop of Trump’s America, the show features extravagant elements but lacks memorable songs. Despite a tryout in Boston, Kennedy says it still feels like a work in progress.

November 9, 2025

This included throwing pitches intentionally outside of the strike zone or within certain velocity ranges. Here’s a closer look at those pitches.

Browns sticking with Dillon Gabriel over Shedeur Sanders at quarterback after loss to Jets

November 9, 2025

Shedeur Sanders’ NFL debut for the Cleveland Browns will have to wait. After a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday, coach Kevin Stefanski said he’s sticking with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel for the game against Baltimore. Gabriel has struggled, dropping to 1-4 as Cleveland’s starter. He completed 17 of 32 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns but was sacked six times. The Browns finished with 278 yards of total offense. Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, was recently promoted to the Browns’ No. 2 quarterback, but has yet to play in a regular-season game.

November 9, 2025

Backup Davis Mills threw two touchdown passes in the final quarter and scrambled 14 yards for the go-ahead score with 31 seconds left and the Houston Texans rallied from a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit for a 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Mills threw for 292 yards and shook off a forgettable three quarters to lead the remarkable comeback while filling in for C.J. Stroud, who was out after suffering a concussion last week. The Jaguars (5-4) were trying to get into field-goal range after the score by Mills, but Trevor Lawrence was sacked by Will Anderson Jr. and fumbled. Sheldon Rankins recovered the ball and ran 32 yards for a TD to seal the victory.

November 9, 2025

TreVeyon Henderson had touchdown runs of 69 and 55 yards, Drake Maye threw two TD passes, and the New England Patriots beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28-23 for their seventh straight win.

The rookie finished with a career-high 147 yards rushing on 14 carries. The Buccaneers were the first team in NFL history to have each of their first four wins of the season come on a game-winning score in the final minute of regulation. They had a chance to do it again when Tykee Smith intercepted Maye’s pass from the 2 in the end zone with 5:17 left.

South Korean solar firm cuts pay and hours for Georgia workers as US officials detain imports

November 9, 2025

A South Korean solar company says it will temporarily reduce pay and working hours for about 1,000 of its 3,000 employees in Georgia because U.S. customs officials have been detaining imported components for solar panels. Qcells announced Friday that it will also lay off 300 workers from staffing agencies at its plants in Dalton and Cartersville. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been impounding Qcells components on suspicion that they contain materials made with forced labor in China. Qcells says none of its components are made with forced labor or come from China. The company says some shipments have been released and it plans to resume full production.

Big Ten says USC should have been penalized on fake punt play under the NCAA’s Unfair Tactics rule

November 9, 2025

The Big Ten has announced that Southern California should have received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during its game against Northwestern. This was due to a reserve quarterback wearing the same number as the Trojans’ regular punter while executing a fake punt. Early in the second quarter, Sam Huard completed a pass that led to a touchdown five plays later. The Big Ten stated that USC should have been penalized under the NCAA’s Unfair Tactics rule. The conference plans to continue reviewing the situation with both schools. Northwestern’s coach did not complain about the play after the game.

MLB pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz charged with taking bribes to rig pitches for bettors

November 9, 2025

Two Major League Baseball pitchers have been indicted on charges they took bribes to give sports bettors advance notice of the types of pitches they’d throw and intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes to ensure successful bets. Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz both pitched for the Cleveland Guardians. They have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July while Major League Baseball investigated what it said was unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched. A lawyer for Ortiz declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press and a lawyer for Clase did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Donald Trump plans to be the 1st sitting US president at a regular-season NFL game since 1978

November 9, 2025

Extra security measures are in place before the Washington Commanders’ game against the Detroit Lions, where President Donald Trump planned to become the first sitting president in nearly a half-century to attend a regular-season NFL contest. Officers in black secret uniforms identifying them as members of the U.S. Secret Service joined military, police and other guards inside and outside Northwest Stadium on Sunday. There were more fences than usual blocking sidewalks and some pathways were restricted. Only two other times did a president go to an NFL game during the regular season while in office, according to the league: Richard Nixon in 1969 and Jimmy Carter in 1978.

‘Predator: Badlands’ tops box office with $80 million worldwide

November 9, 2025

“Predator: Badlands” has topped the North American box office with a $40 million debut, according to studio estimates. This marks a new high for the franchise, surpassing the $38.3 million opening of 2004’s “Alien vs. Predator.” The film, written and directed by Dan Trachtenberg, also earned $40 million overseas. Despite a challenging box office climate, “Predator: Badlands” has performed well, receiving positive reviews and an “A-” CinemaScore. Other new releases, like “Die My Love” and “Christy,” struggled to make a significant impact, while “Sarah’s Oil” emerged as the best performer among newcomers.

Packers couldn’t stop Eagles’ tush push during offseason. Now they’ll try to contain it on the field

November 9, 2025

The Green Bay Packers couldn’t thwart the tush push during the offseason. Now they must try to find a way to stop it in a game. Green Bay proposed a ban on the play during the offseason. The measure was approved by more than two-thirds of the teams but fell two votes short of passage. That has enabled the Philadelphia Eagles to continue using the short-yardage play in their Super Bowl title defense. The Eagles beat the Packers twice last season and face them again Monday night at Lambeau Field.

Thanksgiving air traffic could ‘slow to a trickle’ if shutdown persists, transport secretary says

November 9, 2025

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns that U.S. air traffic could slow significantly if the federal government shutdown continues into the Thanksgiving travel season. The Federal Aviation Administration has already ordered flight cuts at major airports. Some air traffic controllers, who have gone unpaid for nearly a month, have stopped working. Reductions began Friday at 4% and could reach 10% by November 14. On Sunday, 1,375 flights were canceled. Duffy suggests further cuts might be needed, possibly up to 20%. He emphasizes the need for action to keep people safe amid an overtaxed system.
