Lions’ 4th-down flops, 3rd-down failures doom them in 16-9 loss in Philadelphia

Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions struggled against the Philadelphia Eagles, losing 16-9 on Sunday night. The Lions failed on all five fourth-down attempts, which Goff said was the game’s turning point. He completed only 14 of 37 passes for 255 yards, marking his worst performance this season. The Lions, who averaged over 31 points per game, managed just one touchdown. Coach Dan Campbell, who recently took over play-calling duties, admitted he didn’t help the team. Despite the loss, Campbell remains optimistic, believing the team will improve and learn from the experience.

Warriors’ Draymond Green has another fan confrontation

Golden State forward Draymond Green went nearly chest-to-chest with a fan during the Warriors’ road game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The fan identified himself as Sam Green and was wearing a black polo with a Pelicans logo. He says he was taunting Draymond Green with chants of “Angel Reese,” because his NBA namesake was rebounding but not scoring. Draymond Green strode over to the fan late in the second quarter and stood inches from him as they spoke to one another. Game officials quickly pulled Draymond Green away while ushers gathered around and spoke with the fan, who was permitted to remain in his seat. Draymond Green has been fined previously for fan interaction.

Bernie Kosar says he will receive a liver transplant Monday morning

Former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar is set to receive a liver transplant Monday morning. He shared the news in a social media post Sunday night, expressing gratitude for the support he’s received. The 61-year-old was initially scheduled for the transplant last weekend, but it was delayed due to an infected donor organ. Kosar has undergone five procedures in the past week to stop internal bleeding. He revealed last year that he has cirrhosis of the liver and Parkinson’s disease. Kosar played 12 seasons in the NFL, notably with the Cleveland Browns, and won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys.

Foreign enrollment at US colleges holds steady, for now, despite Trump’s visa crackdown

A new report finds that foreign students enrolled at U.S. colleges in strong numbers this fall despite fears that a Trump administration crackdown would trigger a nosedive. Still, there are signs of turbulence as fewer new, first-time students arrive from other countries. The Institute of International Education found that new students entering the United States for the first time fell by 17%, the sharpest decrease since the COVID-19 pandemic. The falloff is less severe than some had forecast, but it has hit some universities harder than others, with some seeing rapid backslides that punched big holes in tuition revenue.

Forget winning the AFC West. Mahomes and Chiefs in danger of missing playoffs after loss to Broncos

A 10th straight AFC West title is looking out of reach for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. At this point, the Chiefs aren’t even in position to make the playoffs. They fell to 5-5 with Sunday’s 22-19 loss to the Denver Broncos. Kansas City went 12-0 in one-score games last season. This year, they’re 0-5 in those games. The Chiefs hope to rely on their experience of going to five of the last six Super Bowls to spark a late-season surge. But they’ll need to go 5-2 over their final seven games just to reach double-digit wins.

Trump defends Tucker Carlson after interview with activist known for his antisemitic views

President Donald Trump is brushing aside concerns about conservative commentator Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with a far-right activist known for his antisemitic views. It’s an interview that has caused a schism within the GOP. Trump defended Carlson, citing “good interviews” he’d had over the years with the former Fox News host. He said that if Carlson wants to interview Nick Fuentes, whose followers see themselves as working to preserve America’s white, Christian identity, then “People have to decide.”

Trump plans to meet with Mamdani, says he’ll ‘work something out’ with New York City’s mayor-elect

President Donald Trump is indicating that he plans to meet with New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and says they’ll “work something out.” It could be a detente for the Republican president and Democratic political star, who have cast each other as political foils. Trump has for months slammed Mamdani, falsely labeling him as a “communist” and predicting the ruin of his hometown if the democratic socialist was elected. Mamdani rose from an obscure state lawmaker to become a social media star and symbol of the resistance against Trump during his mayoral campaign. Trump mentioned the possible meeting with Mamdani while speaking to reporters Sunday night.

Many House Republicans will back a bill to release Epstein files, leaders of the effort say

Lawmakers seeking to force the release of files related to the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein are predicting a big win in the House this week. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie says a “deluge of Republicans” could vote for the bill, bucking the GOP leadership and President Donald Trump. The bill would force the Justice Department to release all files and communications related to Epstein, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison. House Speaker Mike Johnson also expects the House will decisively back the bill. He says the House will “just get this done and move it on.”

Bills receiver Keon Coleman’s on-field struggles lead to him being inactive against Buccaneers

Bills receiver Keon Coleman is in the doghouse again, with the second-year player listed as inactive for Buffalo’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It’s the second time coach Sean McDermott has sent a message to Coleman this season. He was benched for the first series in a 23-20 loss to New England in Week 5 after being late for a meeting. The Bills did not provide a reason for the decision, though Coleman’s latest benching coincides with the Bills attempting to spark an inconsistent passing game. Sunday’s move marks the first time Buffalo’s top pick in the 2024 draft hasn’t dressed for a game when healthy.

A letter signed by more than 160 legal professionals said Duncan was wrongfully convicted. Duncan, a lawyer who became a renowned legal expert while incarcerated, says his lived experienced gives him a unique appreciation for the weight of the office.

Headwinds for Trump in persuading the Saudi crown prince to agree to normalize ties with Israel

President Donald Trump has made clear how much he wants to see Saudi Arabia and Israel normalize relations. That push is expected to be on the agenda when Trump hosts Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday for talks during a pomp-filled White House visit. Trump’s optimism that a U.S.-brokered deal could come soon is tempered by far more sober internal assessments about the prospects for such an agreement. Saudi Arabia is unlikely to sign on to Trump’s first-term Abraham Accords anytime soon. But there’s cautious optimism in Trump’s administration that an agreement can be sealed by the end of his second term.

Trump’s Republican Party insists there’s no affordability crisis and dismisses election losses

Many Republican leaders insist there’s no problem with the GOP’s policies, the party’s message or President Donald Trump’s leadership, despite big losses in this month’s elections. Trump says Democrats and the media are misleading voters who are concerned about high costs and the economy. Republican officials aiming to avoid another defeat in the 2026 midterms are encouraging candidates to embrace the president fully and talk more about his accomplishments. That assessment by GOP officials shows how much the party’s fate is tied to Trump. He plans to focus more on affordability but insists the economy has never been stronger.
