CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Samaje Perine rushed for a season-high 106 yards and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 on Sunday in their first meeting since the Bengals prevailed in last season's AFC championship game.
Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs lost their chance to avenge two losses to Burrow and Cincinnati last season. The Bengals beat the Chiefs last Jan. 2 to clinch the AFC North title, then won four weeks later in overtime — also by a 27-24 score — to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years.
In this matchup of elite quarterbacks, a defensive play in the fourth quarter proved to be the turning point.
With the Chiefs leading 24-20, Cincinnati linebacker Germaine Pratt stripped Trave Kelce after a catch and recovered the fumble.
Burrow, working from his own 47, then completed six of seven passes for 53 yards, finishing the drive with an 8-yard TD pass to backup running back Chris Evans that gave the Bengals the lead with 8:54 remaining.
The subsequent Chiefs drive was snuffed out when Joseph Ossai sacked Mahomes, and Harrison Butker missed a 55-yard field-goal attempt wide right.
Burrow converted two third downs on passes to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to allow the Bengals to run out the clock.
Mahomes was 16 for 27 for 223 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score.
Cincinnati led for the entire the first half and took a 14-10 lead into the locker room. Kansas City then scored two third-quarter touchdowns — an 8-yard-run by Isiah Pacheco and a 3-yard scramble by Mahomes — while the Bengals had to settle for a pair of field goals. That gave the Chiefs a 24-20 lead that held until the turnover and Cincinnati TD.
Burrow finished 25 for 31 for 286 yards. Chase, in his return after missing four games with a hip injury, had seven receptions for 97 yards.
INJURIES
Bengals TE Hayden Hurst suffered a right calf injury in the first half and was ruled out.

CINCINNATI – Just when it seemed the Kansas City Chiefs had all the momentum, Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt changed the game.
With the Bengals trailing 24-20 in the fourth quarter, Pratt stripped the ball away from Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at the end of a big catch near midfield, and the offense responded with its first touchdown since early in the second quarter. Joe Burrow teamed up with Chris Evans on an 8-yard pass for the go-ahead score, and that was all Cincinnati needed.
The Bengals got a crucial third-down sack from Joseph Ossai that led to a missed field goal on the next drive, and they held off the Chiefs for a 27-24 win Sunday at Paycor Stadium in a game that had all the feels of a playoff atmosphere.
Kansas City (9-3) entered the game as the top team in the AFC, but Cincinnati (8-4) has now beaten the Chiefs three times this calendar year, including the AFC Championship last season at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Bengals, who have won four straight games and eight of their last 10 games, had gotten off to a dominant start Sunday, scoring on their first two drives while holding the Chiefs to a field goal and three-and-out on theirs. But once Kansas City found the end zone late in the second quarter, it was the start of a run of touchdowns on three consecutive full possessions. The Bengals would need the defense to shift the tide.
Cincinnati missed an opportunity to go into halftime with a two-score lead when the Chiefs snuffed out a jet sweep on fourth down with less than a minute left in the second quarter, and that meant Kansas City trailed just 14-10 going into the break and possession to start the second half.
The Chiefs took their first lead on Isiah Pacheco’s 8-yard run on the opening drive of the third quarter, and the Bengals settled for a 36-yard game-tying field goal from Evan McPherson the ensuing possession. Kansas City responded with a Mahomes touchdown run to make it 24-17 with 3:49 remaining in the period, and Tyler Boyd dropped a pass in the end zone that would have tied the game again.
Instead, McPherson came out for a 41-yard field goal, and Kansas City was approaching midfield when Pratt made his big play on Kelce after he caught a 19-yard pass from Mahomes. After Evans’ first touchdown of the season gave Cincinnati the lead for good, Ossai came up with the third-down sack to force the field goal Harrison Butker missed from 55 yards.
Burrow, who scored the team’s first touchdown on a 4-yard run, finished with 286 yards passing and two touchdowns in the air to go along with 46 yards on 11 carries. Samaje Perine had 106 yards on 21 carries and added 49 yards receiving as Bengals running back Joe Mixon was inactive for a second straight game because of a concussion suffered in Week 10.
Ja’Marr Chase made his return to the field after missing four games with a fractured hip and proved to be just fine, leading the receivers with 97 yards on seven catches.
Mahomes, the league’s passing leader, had one of his lowest passing total for the season with just 223 yards and one touchdown. Pacheco had 66 of the Chiefs’ 138 yards rushing.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jurors in the capital murder trial of a former U.S. Border Patrol agent have heard a taped interview in which he confesses to the 2018 killings of four sex workers in South Texas.
If convicted of capital murder, Juan David Ortiz, 39, faces life in prison without parole because prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. The trial started on Nov. 28 and is set to continue on Monday.
Ortiz, a Navy veteran, was a Border Patrol intelligence supervisor at the time of his arrest in September 2018. Ortiz, who officials have said wasn’t on duty during the killings and wore civilian clothes, is accused of killing Melissa Ramirez, 29; Claudine Anne Luera, 42; Guiselda Alicia Cantu, 35; and Janelle Ortiz, 28.
Each woman was shot in the head and left along roads on the outskirts of Laredo in September. One died of blunt force trauma after being shot.
Juan David Ortiz told detectives in the video played in court last week that as he drove along a stretch of road that the women frequented, “the monster would come out,” the San Antonio Express-News reported. He told investigators he wanted to “clean up the streets,” and referred to the women as “trash” and “so dirty.”
Ortiz’s attorney, Joel Perez, argued in opening statements that investigators had jumped to conclusions, and that his client’s confession was “coerced.” He said his client was “broken” and “suicidal” when he made the confession and told investigators he'd had blackouts. Perez said that Ortiz told the investigators that he was a war veteran who'd been experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and was unable to sleep and was having nightmares. Perez said Ortiz had been put on “a bunch of psychotic pills."
The ex-agent's arrest was set in motion when a woman, Erika Pena, escaped from him when he pointed a gun at her while they were in his truck at a gas station on Sept. 14, 2018. Pena, now 31, testified that Ortiz would give her money for drugs, drive her to buy them and then they would have sex.
Normally, she said, he was “nice, smart, funny, a normal guy,” but on Sept. 14, 2018, she got a bad feeling after he told her he was the “next to last person” to have sex with Ramirez, who was found slain the week earlier. She testified that he was worried investigators would find his DNA.
“It made me think that he was the one who might have been murdering,” Pena told the jury.
Luera had been fatally shot on Sept. 13, 2018.
After Pena escaped, Ortiz fled from the gas station but was later arrested when authorities tracked him to a hotel parking garage.
In the interview with investigators, Ortiz said that after Ramirez had injected the drugs he's bought for her, she'd passed out and that “angered” him. He said that when she regained consciousness, she became belligerent. Ortiz said that when he stopped so that she could use the restroom, he shot her in the back of the head.
Ortiz told investigators that after picking up Luera and taking her to get “a fix," he told her they should check out where Ramirez's body was found. He said she “started freaking out.” She died at a hospital after being shot in the head.
Capt. Federico Calderon of the Webb County Sheriff’s Department testified that officers who arrested Ortiz knew about the slayings of Ramirez and Luera, and while chasing him after Pena's escape learned that a third body — later identified as that of Cantu — had been found.
Calderon said it wasn't until Ortiz's confession that they learned about a fourth slain woman — later identified as Janelle Ortiz.
Calderon told jurors that the information about a fourth victim was “volunteered” by Ortiz and “surprised us completely.”
Both Janelle Ortiz and Cantu were killed in the hours before Juan David Ortiz's arrest.
Ortiz said on the tape that he’d planned to kill himself that night and that Cantu told him: "Don’t do it. God loves you.” Then, he said, he shot her in the neck.
The trial is being held in San Antonio, in Bexar County, following a defense request to move the trial from Webb County due to extensive media coverage.
The Border Patrol placed Ortiz on indefinite, unpaid suspension after his arrest. When asked last week for an update on his current employment status, a Border Patrol official said the agency doesn’t comment on “pending litigation.”

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Deandre Ayton had 25 points and 10 rebounds and the Phoenix Suns overwhelmed San Antonio 133-95 on Sunday, handing the Spurs their 11th straight loss.
San Antonio fell behind by 30 points in the second quarter and is now two losses shy of the franchise’s worst skid set in 1989.
Devin Booker and Mikal Bridges each had 20 points to help Western Conference-leading Phoenix win for the seventh time in eight games.
The Suns had a season-high 38 assists, shot 52% from the field and were 19 of 37 on 3-pointers.
“Just reading the defense and taking what the defense gives us,” Booker said. “Everybody shares the ball on this team. They threw a lot of blitzes and different type of defenses out there. Just get off the ball. The ball always moves faster than the defender.”
Keldon Johnson has 27 points for the Spurs, who have not won since Nov. 11. Devin Vassell added 14 points and Keita Bates-Diop had 12.
San Antonio was without coach Gregg Popovich for the second straight game with what the team termed a minor medical procedure. Popovich is expected to return Thursday in a home game against Houston.
Popovich is not texting San Antonio assistant coach Brett Brown with coaching advice during his absence.
“It hasn’t gotten to that,” Brown said earlier.
Not that it would have helped the beleaguered Spurs against the Suns.
San Antonio was without starters Jakob Poeltl and Jeremy Sochan and key reserves Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson.
The matchup went as expected between the Western Conference’s best record and its worst.
San Antonio’s 11 points in the second quarter were a season low for any period. The Spurs committed seven turnovers and were 5 for 20 from the field in the period.
“I thought the second period in general we were having a hard time getting stops mostly,” Brown said. “Their ability to get inside the paint, and then they had drop-off pass after drop-off pass after drop-off pass to their big guys. When you ask, ‘How did it happen?’"
“It’s just that we got beat on the first line of our defense. We had to rotate, and we didn’t have that second piece to the puzzle of one more rotation. Our front door was way to open,” he said.
The Spurs tied a season low with 41 points in the first half. Phoenix’s 71 points were the most given up by San Antonio in the first half this season.
Dario Saric added a season-high 17 points in his second start this season.
Ayton and Saric combined to shoot 16 for 22 from the field along with 13 rebounds.
“I think today’s NBA is usually four guards and one big and switching, a lot of switching,” Saric said. “You don’t change the defensive tactics all the time, but you need the two bigs down the stretch.”
TIP-INS
Suns: PG Chris Paul missed his 13th straight game with a sore right heel. … Bridges was 6 for 7 on 3-pointers, matching a career high for 3s. … F Torrey Craig missed the game with a strained right groin.
Spurs: Hall of Fame forward Tim Duncan was honored during the first half as part of San Antonio’s 50th anniversary celebration. Duncan surprised the crowd with an appearance after highlights were shown of his 19-year career, including his five NBA championships with the Spurs.
UP NEXT
Suns: At Dallas on Monday night.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike White and the New York Jets coaching staff won’t need to take long to dissect what went wrong in Sunday’s 27-22 loss at Minnesota.
For White, who had his second 300-yard passing game in as many weeks as New York’s starting quarterback, the answer is obvious. The Jets scored one touchdown on six trips inside the Vikings 20-yard line. New York was 1 of 3 scoring touchdowns in goal-to-go situations.
“I think for the most part, when you lose a game, you do have a sense of what the reasoning was,” White said after the Jets’ comeback fell short. “Today was just glaring. ... It starts with me. Got to figure out a way to get in there. I don’t know what it is. I’ll watch the tape, get with our coaches and learn from it and correct it.”
White and coach Robert Saleh credited the team’s determination in overcoming a 20-3 halftime deficit. But the second-half rally fell short when White’s throw to the goal line with 16 seconds left was intercepted by Camryn Bynum.
It was another instance of being stopped by the Vikings in the red zone.
“I just know that they were running double-end cuts to the field every single time,” Bynum said. “A lot of the big plays they got was that route, in-breaking from No. 1. That’s a tough route for the corner, especially for his outside leverage, so I just shuffled in with the quarterback’s eyes and as soon as he came off of No. 2, jumped into window No. 1 and that was the play.”
For White, who was 31 of 57 for 369 yards passing with no TDs and two INTs, it was the only spot he had left because of Minnesota’s coverage. So, he tried to thread the ball to Corey Davis when Bynum stepped in front for the game-sealing interception.
White has provided a boost to New York’s stagnant passing game since replacing Zach Wilson. After making adjustments, the Jets had 336 yards in the second half. But while they scored on five straight possessions at one point, four were field goals against a defense that is allowing touchdowns on 64.5% of trips within the 20, ranking 26th in the NFL.
In goal-to-go scenarios, the Vikings have allowed the opponent to reach the end zone 81.3% of the time, which is 27th in the league.
“Can’t win the game just kicking field goals,” Saleh said.
Greg Zuerlein converted all five of his field-goal attempts for New York. But Minnesota finished when it got close, scoring touchdowns on all three of its trips to the red zone.
“It’s tough, man,” said receiver Garrett Wilson, who caught eight of 15 targets for 162 yards. “Those threes got to turn to six and that starts with us having a great week to prepare. Obviously, another great opponent next week that we’re going to need those to be six points.
"It’s frustrating, but this is a game of inches and we felt that today, for sure.”
Wilson nearly scored at the end of what ended up being a 60-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He just barely stepped out of bounds at the 11-yard line. Three passes later, New York had to settle for a 26-yard field goal from Zuerlein.
Particularly late, the Jets had their chances. They had the ball within the 20 twice in the final two minutes. Their first fourth-down attempt fell short as Braxton Berrios couldn’t corral what would have been a tough catch in the end zone.
“It was there,” Berrios said. “I think Mike put it in the only place that he could. Yeah, man, you've got to come down with that one.”
Even New York’s lone conversion for a touchdown wasn’t easy. White was nearly stopped on a fourth-down run from the 1-yard line. He was initially ruled short, but a review determined he had crossed the line for a score.
“My job as a quarterback is to put our team in the best position and that’s scoring when we’re in the red zone,” White said. “It starts with me. Got to figure out how to put the ball in the end zone.
"If we can do that, I think we win the game today.”

Akshay Kumar has responded to a Pakistani man who questioned the way his country was portrayed in the 2021 movie Bell Bottom. The performer advised the individual to keep his thoughts about it lighthearted because it was "just a movie."
Akshay was present at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. The actor responded to a man who inquired about his movie Bell Bottom during an in-conversation session at the festival. The story of the movie, which was directed by Ranjit Tiwari, focused on an attempt to rescue passengers after an Indian Airlines jet was hijacked.
The man told Akshay, "I’m from Pakistan, your neighbour country. I have a request. You do fantastic movies like Pad Man and Toilet. There is an issue between India and Pakistan as well. Your recent movie Bell Bottom has certain things against Pakistan.”
Akshay then said, "Sir, it’s just a movie. Don’t get so serious about it. It’s just a movie. There are many things like that. It’s just a movie, sir.”
In Bell Bottom, the 1980s are depicted. Akshay played an Indian secret agent in the movie. Although the movie was highly received in India, it garnered harsh criticism abroad and was eventually outlawed in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Huma Qureshi, Lara Dutta, and Vaani Kapoor also had lead parts in the movie. It was said that it was based on actual hijackings committed by Khalistani terrorists in the 1980s, including the taking of multiple flights operated by Indian Airlines.

Recent films by Akshay include Cuttputlli, which had its digital premiere, and Ram Setu, which was released in theatres. Ram Setu, which was directed by Abhishek Sharma, also starred Jacqueline Fernandez.
In addition to Selfiee, which stars Emraan Hashmi and Diana Penty, Akshay also has the upcoming Anand L. Rai film Gorkha.

Saiyami Kher made her Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya and since then, the actress has impressed the audience with her incredible performances in films and series such as Choked, Unpaused, and Special Ops. She is now awaiting the release of her next OTT series Faadu - A Love Story, a romantic drama set to premiere on SonyLIV on December 9.
In an exclusive conversation with DNA India, Saiyami revealed that she is playing a handicapped cricketer in her next film Ghoomer, in which she shares screen space with Breathe Into The Shadows co-star Abhishek Bachchan. Sharing details about her role, the actress said, "Ghoomer has been the most physically and mentally challenging role that I have ever done so far. It's difficult not only because it's a cricketer's role, she's a handicapped cricketer."
"It was very, very challenging for me. It was emotionally very draining. I am a big fan of Abhishek Bachchan because he's humane, real, and secure and he's such a genuine person that I really enjoy working with him. Also, I don't think I have ever met anyone as intelligent as Balki sir. He's so sharp and so simple in his lifestyle. Everyone's energy was exactly the same on the set and I am very excited about the film's release next year", Kher added.
Ghoomer is directed by R Balki, who gives his own quirky twist to his movies namely Cheeni Kum, Pad Man, Paa, Shamitabh, and Ki & Ka. His last film was Sunny Deol and Dulquer Salmaan starrer psychological crime thriller Chup: Revenge of the Artist, which was released in September this year.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Morgan Barron and Mark Scheifele scored a pair of quick goals in the third period and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Sunday.
Barron scored at 13:23 for a 3-2 lead. Scheifele followed up with his team-leading 13th goal of the season at 15:12.
The Jets were outshot 18-7 in the first period and trailed 2-0 early in the second.
“It’s just not right to start a game like that,” Winnipeg's Rick Bowness said. “Listen, I’m the head coach so I’m responsible for the way we start and getting our team prepared. So that starts with me. The second thing is, I’m not a babysitter. These guys are men. They’re professionals and they’re paid to show up here and go to work. My job here is to make that happen."
“The third thing on that would be: You cannot play this game without passion. Without emotion. You cannot play this game on your heels. And I hate when we’re on our heels. It’s not right.”
Saku Maenalanen and Nate Schmidt each had a goal and assist for the Jets. Dylan Samberg recorded his first NHL goal and Kyle Connor added a pair of assists.
Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves for Winnipeg, which is 2-1-0 in a four-game homestand that wraps up Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
Jakob Silfverberg and Brett Leason scored for the Ducks, whose winless streak stretched to six games (0-4-2).
Anthony Stolarz stopped 35 shots for Anaheim, which was coming off a 5-4 shootout loss to Minnesota on Saturday.
Barron said the players absorbed Bowness’ words in the dressing room after the first period.
“There wasn’t enough intention. It wasn’t intense enough from us,” Barron said. “We weren’t playing with enough passion in that first period. We all knew it on the bench, on the ice, and I’m sure you guys could tell from the press box that was the case. We need to have better starts.”
Silfverberg scored on a rebound on a power play late in the first period. The Ducks went up 2-0 after a giveaway by Samberg near center ice turned into a breakaway for Leason at 5:09 of the second.
After Scheifele rang a shot off the post, Schmidt sent a puck from behind the net out front to Maenalanen and he put it behind Stolarz at 10:31 of the middle period.
Samberg redeemed himself for his earlier miscue when he tied it at 2 with a point shot through traffic at 13:28. Anaheim put in an unsuccessful coach’s challenge for a high stick.
“We had a really good first period and we let them get back in the second, and the third period was anyone’s game and they jumped on the chance,” Leason said. “We just got to find a way to get good starts and finish games.”
NOTES
Jets winger Blake Wheeler has three goals and seven assists in his last five games. … Rookie Michael Eyssimont was moved to Winnipeg’s top line with Dubois and Connor midway through the second period.
UP NEXT
Jets: Host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
Ducks: Host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.

We have always been told that milk is rich in calcium. By drinking it daily, our teeth and bones become strong. There is no doubt that milk is full of nutritional elements, and its consumption can provide many benefits to the body. But if you drink milk on a daily basis, you need to be careful.
Lactose intolerance: 5 signs that you cannot digest dairy products
Yes, drinking too much milk can cause many health problems, especially related to the stomach. Experts believe that a healthy person should not drink more than two glasses of milk a day. Drinking more milk than this can cause problems in the body.
These problems are caused by drinking too much milk:
1. Actually, milk is very heavy, so drinking too much can cause the problem of flatulence. Our digestive system also takes a long time to digest it.
2. Milk does not suit many people i.e. they have 'leaky-gut' syndrome. Because of which they start feeling tired and lethargic on drinking milk. Milk contains A1 casein, which can cause inflammation in the intestines and promote bacteria.
3. Drinking too much milk can also cause rashes or acne problems on your skin. People who have acne problems are advised to stay away from dairy products.
4. On one hand the calcium present in milk strengthens your bones, while on the other hand drinking too much milk can prove to be harmful. Doctors believe that excessive milk can also affect your brain, due to which your memory can become weak.
5. Apart from this, many people start feeling nausea or uneasy after drinking too much milk. Milk can leave some enzymes in your body, which causes problems in the intestines of the body.

The sight of roads dug up, smell of garbage putrefying on their streets and endless knocks at a councillor’s door leading to bitter disappointment weighed on the minds of voters who headed out to cast their vote for a new, reunified MCD on Sunday.
Most voters The Indian Express spoke to listed a series of hyperlocal aspirations, all centering around the cleanliness of their localities. Many also expressed anger and disappointment at current incumbents for not doing enough.
In Shaheen Bagh, a sea of garbage cutting across the entrance of a polling centre reminded voters of what they were voting for. Rajda Khan, a 37-year-old resident, is voting for change as she said, “Previous officials have not had success”. She hopes to see proper garbage disposal.
Over 20 km away, Nisar Ahmed (55) from Northeast Delhi’s Jafrabad said the drains around his area were overflowing and “previous councillors have not done as much as they should have”.
Begumpur resident Amit Kumar Das (31) said he is tired of looking at dug up roads in his locality and longs for change. He also wants the AAP’s policies which led to a reduction in water and electricity bills to be replicated in the MCD as well. “We want that kind of good work to happen in the MCD also,” he said.
Ramesh Sharma, a 63-year-old general store owner in Raj Niwas, said despite being an upscale VIP area, it still has pothole-filled roads and clogged drains. He also said the streets would get inundated during the monsoon. “This time too, we voted hoping these issues will be addressed. Let’s see,” he said.
Prakash Malhotra, a central government employee, recalled the time when he tried to reach out to the local councillor over thefts in the area but to no avail. “Councillors should be people’s friends… they should be respectful,” he said.
Gopal Krishan (61), a resident of Malviya Nagar, claimed he has not seen his local councillor for the last five years and felt embittered that only promises were made on the eve of elections. He said he “voted for change”. So did Kuldeep Bharadwaj (63), a resident of Ganpati Bagh, who said he has never seen a councillor visit his area in the last two decades.
Arun Bedi (57), a businessman from Amar Colony, added: “Whoever comes now should be a local person and should work.”
Apart from hyperlocal issues, the spate of demolition drives to clear encroachments this year in the capital also weighed on people’s minds. For Janaki Devi (55), who turned up to cast her vote at a polling station in Okhla, memories of her home and tea stall demolished in one such drive six months ago are still fresh. “They did not leave anything behind. My livelihood was destroyed in a day. I came to vote because I am angry,” Devi said.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Samaje Perine rushed for a season-high 106 yards and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 on Sunday in their first meeting since the Bengals prevailed in last season's AFC championship game.
Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs lost their chance to avenge two losses to Burrow and Cincinnati last season. The Bengals beat the Chiefs last Jan. 2 to clinch the AFC North title, then won four weeks later in overtime — also by a 27-24 score — to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years.
In this matchup of elite quarterbacks, a defensive play in the fourth quarter proved to be the turning point.
With the Chiefs leading 24-20, Cincinnati linebacker Germaine Pratt stripped Trave Kelce after a catch and recovered the fumble.
Burrow, working from his own 47, then completed six of seven passes for 53 yards, finishing the drive with an 8-yard TD pass to backup running back Chris Evans that gave the Bengals the lead with 8:54 remaining.
The subsequent Chiefs drive was snuffed out when Joseph Ossai sacked Mahomes, and Harrison Butker missed a 55-yard field-goal attempt wide right.
Burrow converted two third downs on passes to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to allow the Bengals to run out the clock.
Mahomes was 16 for 27 for 223 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score.
Cincinnati led for the entire the first half and took a 14-10 lead into the locker room. Kansas City then scored two third-quarter touchdowns — an 8-yard-run by Isiah Pacheco and a 3-yard scramble by Mahomes — while the Bengals had to settle for a pair of field goals. That gave the Chiefs a 24-20 lead that held until the turnover and Cincinnati TD.
Burrow finished 25 for 31 for 286 yards. Chase, in his return after missing four games with a hip injury, had seven receptions for 97 yards.
INJURIES
Bengals TE Hayden Hurst suffered a right calf injury in the first half and was ruled out.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: At Denver next Sunday.
Bengals: Host Cleveland next Sunday.

For some residents of Northeast Delhi, the 2020 riots and the responses to it were on top of their minds when they voted in the MCD election on Sunday. Others, however, said local issues are a more pressing concern.
Brijpuri resident Haji Gul Mohammad (52), a railway employee at the Old Delhi Railway Station, rued what he claimed was a lack of help from the AAP during the riots and said he would steadfastly remain behind the Congress despite several issues remaining unresolved in the locality in the past few years. “The drains are overflowing and there is garbage everywhere. There is garbage clogging the drains. Former MLA Hasan Ahmed (who represented the Mustafabad constituency) had done some work, but not much happened after that,” he added.
A few other residents said the riots, while still fresh in their minds, may not have much of an impact on the election. Haji Ayub (60), a resident of Mustafabad and a social worker, said the issues that were significant in the MCD polls were those of basic facilities and cleanliness. “A lack of cleanliness in the area, lack of clean water, corruption in the MCD… these are the issues. We have had a Congress councillor for some time now. But Congress councillors say they don’t have much power since they don’t have a majority in the MCD or the government. There needs to be some change now,” he said.
The Mustafabad ward in Northeast Delhi has had Congress councillors since at least 2007. Nearby, Seelampur voted for a Bahujan Samaj Party councillor in 2017, while Chauhan Bangar near Jafrabad voted for an AAP councillor. The Gokulpuri ward has an outgoing BJP councillor. There was heavy security deployed at some polling booths in Northeast Delhi, including an MCD primary school in Jafrabad.
Nisar Ahmed (55), who voted in Jafrabad, and runs a local iron sheet business, said the riots inflicted much pain in the area, but it was unlikely to have an impact on the MCD polls. “Humare bhaiyon ka nuksan hua tha. Muslims faced severe losses in the riots… even in the Gokulpuri market. Lekin uska iss election se kuch lena dena nahin hain (It does not have much to do with the election to a local government). Maybe in another election it could have an impact,” he said.
Ahmed too identified lack of cleanliness as a key issue: “Cleaning does not happen here. The area is very dirty, drains are not being cleaned and are overflowing. The previous councillors have not done as much as they should have.”

Faridabad Police have booked nine people, including an interfaith couple, under Haryana’s anti-conversion law. Police said the FIR was registered Friday, making it one of the first such cases in the state.
In March, the Haryana Assembly had passed the Haryana Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill, 2022, with the government stating that it was aimed at preventing religious conversions “through force, undue influence or allurement”. On Thursday, the Cabinet accorded approval for implementing the Haryana Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2022.
In the current case, the father of a 22-year-old Hindu woman had filed a police complaint alleging his daughter had recently married a man from another community and that she had allegedly been forcibly and illegally converted by him and his family.
In the police complaint, the woman’s father alleged, “I am a follower of the Hindu religion. My daughter has been lured by a Muslim man. One year ago, the man, his brother and his parents had come to our house with a marriage proposal for my daughter. I had refused and explained to them that we are Hindus and will not allow her to marry a Muslim. They left saying that our permission was not required.”
He further alleged, “I explained this to my daughter and she did not say anything at the time. On October 28 at 9.30 am, I dropped her off near a bank where she works, but half an hour later, I got a phone call from her office that she had not reported for work. Her phone was switched off. The same evening, I learnt that she had converted… and married the Muslim man. They also applied for police protection and I got a notice from the district court regarding the same.”
He said he filed a police complaint on November 8.
Speaking to The Indian Express, the father alleged: “My daughter has been forcefully converted. Her conversion and marriage are invalid since the prescribed procedure as per provisions of the Haryana Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2022 has not been followed… All the accused should be arrested and action should be taken as per provision of the law. I do not know where my daughter is. If she is guilty, she should also face action as per the law… a message must go out so that other Hindu daughters are not illegally converted.”
A police officer said, “No arrest has been made. The accused are absconding. The couple had applied for police protection after marriage and protection was granted for three days. Under the law, a person must file an application at the SDM office regarding changing of religion, and a notice period is given for raising objections and notifying the families. The complainant has alleged that due procedure was not followed in this case.”
Faridabad Police spokesperson Sube Singh said a case was registered against the interfaith couple, the man’s brother, his parents, the Qazi who solemnised the marriage, two witnesses and a notary public.
The FIR has been registered under sections 12 (1) and 12 (5) of The Haryana Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2022, said police, adding that conviction under these provisions carries imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of Rs 2 lakh.

As she walked towards the polling station on Sunday morning, Rajni Paswan, a domestic worker residing in South Delhi’s Zamrudpur, was still not sure who she should cast her vote for. At the age of 46, she was going to vote for the first time. She looked towards her son Rahul (20), who had helped her register to vote. “I think whoever comes should do good work, like the Kejriwal government. They really improved my school and made it very good. But it’s ultimately up to her to decide,” he said. “I think I’ll only make up my mind when I’m inside the booth,” she finally said.
Elsewhere, in Batla House, Hafeez Ahman (34) also helped his mother Jameela Begum (80) cast her vote. “The sewage pipelines in my lane were laid just a few days ago. But our roads are still in a pathetic state and they keep promising to widen them. We just want proper disposal of garbage and roads to be widened in our lanes,” Begum said.
Women in different parts of Delhi expressed different concerns that influenced their votes in the MCD election.
In Malviya Nagar’s Begumpur village, housewife Asha Devi (35) said she is driven by her concerns about her children. “I have a lot of expectations from the Kejriwal party, if they win. Under them, schools and hospitals have become good. For poor people’s children, they are very good — children are getting free sanitary napkins, and an English-medium education. All we want in our locality is that it be clean and that we have access to clean water. Right now, water gets accumulated in the lanes which attracts mosquitoes and makes the children fall sick. I also hope that whoever comes can think of some way for housewives like us to work and earn a little during the time that our children are in school and we are free,” she said.
For Anjali (63), a housewife from Panchsheel Park, her expectation for change is in another direction: “In the beginning, everyone was impressed by the Kejriwal government and their model of governance… They have done some good work in the education sector but things like the liquor policy and its minister getting massages in jail is a disappointment. Keeping these issues in mind, I cast my vote for change.”
Aditi (38), who works in a private office and is a resident of Preet Vihar, said she hopes the next councillor works towards more streetlights and better roads for the benefit of women travelling alone.
Rani (36), who works as part of the housekeeping staff in a Delhi government school in RK Puram, said that for women in her locality, accessibility to toilets is the most pressing issue. “I live in a camp nearby in Sector 9, RK Puram. There are many issues, especially basic amenities like water, sewerage and, most importantly, toilets. There are common toilets, but they are far across the road and are in a very bad condition. Most toilets situated on main roads are closed by 9-10 pm. Women face problems due to the lack of toilet facilities, especially when they are menstruating… I hope whoever is the next candidate will address this.”
Himanshi Batra (21), who had gone out to vote with her family, said her primary concern was safety issues in her Govindpuri locality. “The most pressing issue is the web of overhead wires in the lane. I’ve seen how much damage they can cause; we had a fire this summer because of a short circuit. Apart from that, cleanliness is a problem. And while I’m not against stray dogs, there are too many and some are dangerous.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Derek Carr completed two long touchdown passes to Davante Adams in the third quarter to rally the Las Vegas Raiders to a 27-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
That connection on offense backed an aggressive defense that sacked Justin Herbert five times as the Raiders (5-7) won their third consecutive game and split their season series with the Chargers.
The loss was a significant setback for the Chargers (6-6), who are just outside the playoff picture.
Los Angeles led 10-0 early in the second quarter before the Raiders charged back by outscoring the Chargers 27-3.
Carr completed a 31-yarder to Adams early in the third quarter to give Las Vegas the lead for good at 17-13. Less than four minutes later, the duo hooked up on a 45-yard flea flicker for another score.
Adams finished with eight receptions for 177 yards, surpassing 1,000 yards for the fourth time since 2018. He also has 85 career touchdown catches, surpassing Calvin Johnson for fifth most for a receiver in his first nine seasons.
Carr completed 16 of 30 passes for 250 yards and the two TDs to Adams.
Josh Jacobs rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, and the Raiders improved to 5-1 this season when has 100 or more yards. For the season, Jacobs has 1,303 yards, the most in Raiders history through 12 games.
Las Vegas pressured Herbert throughout. Chandler Jones entered the game with just a half-sack, but the defensive end recorded three in the first half alone. He also tackled Herbert a yard short of the first down on a fourth-and-2 in the first quarter.
But Herbert, who completed 28 of 47 passes for 335 yards for this 20th career 300-yard game, nearly rallied the Chargers in the fourth quarter.
On fourth-and-10, he rolled right and fired a 35-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Allen with 8:34 left. It was Allen's 50th career TD reception.
Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson played tight coverage on Allen, who told the Los Angeles Times last week that the Las Vegas defensive backs would “barbecued chicken” if they played single coverage on him. Robertson was on single coverage on Allen on the next Chargers drive as Los Angeles trailed by seven points and he pulled down Allen on a third-and-10 that didn't draw a flag. Instead of a first down, the Chargers faced a fourth down, and failed to convert.
Allen, who caught six passes for 88 yards, missed the last seven games with a hamstring injury.
The Chargers took a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter, opening the scoring when Asante Samuel tipped a pass that fellow cornerback Bryce Callahan intercepted and returned 26 yards for a touchdown. It was Los Angeles' fourth interception of Carr this season. The rest of the league has a combined four against him.
Jacobs' 20-yard touchdown run and Daniel Carlson's 55-yard field goal brought the Raiders even, but Cameron Dicker's 34-yard field goal with 27 seconds left gave the Chargers a 13-10 halftime lead.

Chargers: Host the Miami Dolphins next Sunday night.

With more than 50,000 personnel, 14,000 home guards and 170 companies of Central Armed Police Force deployed across districts, Delhi Police maintained a tight vigil as the city came out to vote in the MCD elections on Sunday.
Police said additional security cover was provided at critical booths and sensitive areas. Home guards from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana were also deployed.
Personnel were also equipped with dozens of drones, CCTVs and body cameras to maintain security. Senior police officers said polling duties were smooth and no major incident of violence or disruption was recorded. “We used 60-70 drones in districts to maintain law and order. The district police were asked to take footage and examine it at the same time to ensure there were no problems in the area. Drones cover a large area and can be easily monitored. For a close vigil, body cameras were given to staff at booths and sensitive areas. They are worn on shirts and record everything…,” said an officer.
Police said teams were also deployed to check with voters if they were being “pushed” or forced to vote for a particular candidate. “Our staff interacted with voters to keep a check on this,” said a police officer.
All area SHOs and ACPs held Aman Committee (peace committee) meetings to talk to political and religious leaders and ask them to maintain peace and report any sort of violence to the police.
Meanwhile, staff also lent a hand to the elderly and differently abled voters. “We had voters who were aged above 85, some even 90 and 100 years old. The staff was quick to help and escort them to the booths. Staff helped people in wheelchairs and even carried people who needed help,” said police.
In North Delhi’s Bara Hindu Rao area, 106-year-old Shanti Bala Vaidya was escorted to the booth by two women constables. In Rohini, 86-year-old Kanti Devi was assisted by her relatives and the police at the booth.
Special teams were also deployed to keep track of electronic voting machines (EVM) and counting centres. All senior district officials were instructed to stay at their offices after polling ended and SHOs were prepared to attend to any calls related to clashes, violence, gang fights or any communal incident.
DCP Sanjay Sain said that in Northeast Delhi, they initiated preventive action against at least 900 people since the start of the election process.

Women constitute only one third of internet users in India, said a study conducted by NGO Oxfam India.
According to ‘India Inequality Report 2022: Digital Divide’ released by the NGO on Sunday, Indian women are 15 per cent less likely to own a mobile phone and 33 per cent less likely to use mobile internet services than men.
In Asia-Pacific, India fares the worst with the widest gender gap of 40.4 per cent, says the study. The report also points to rural-urban digital divide. “Despite registering a significant (digital) growth rate of 13 per cent in a year, only 31 per cent of the rural population uses Internet compared to 67 percent of their urban counterparts,” says the report.
The report analyses the primary data from Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy’s (CMIE) household survey held from Jan 2018 to Dec 2021.
Among states, Maharashtra has the highest internet penetration, followed by Goa and Kerala, while Bihar has the lowest, followed by Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, the report said.
“As per the NSS (2017-18), only about 9 per cent of the students who were enrolled in any course had access to a computer with internet and 25 percent of enrolled students had access to the internet through any kind of devices,” says the report.
The digital push driven by the pandemic resulted in India experiencing the largest number of real-time digital transactions in 2021 at 48.6 billion.
However, the likelihood of a digital payment by the richest 60 per cent is four times more than the poorest 40 per cent in India.
In rural India, the tendency to use formal financial services is lowest for ST households, followed by SC households and OBC households.
According to UN’s e-participation index (2022), which is a composite measure of three important dimensions of e-government, namely provision of online services, telecommunication connectivity and human capacity, India ranks 105 out of 193 nations, it said.
The likelihood of access to a computer is more for the General and OBC groups than for the SC and ST populations. The difference between the general category and ST is as high as seven to eight per cent between 2018 and 2021.
The chances of having a computer are higher with higher levels of education as well as income. As much as 99 per cent rural population did not have a computer post the Pandemic – an increase of two per cent— while the urban population witnessed an increase of seven per cent to 91 per cent.
Among all religions, Sikhs have highest likelihood of having a computer followed by Christians, Hindus and lastly Muslims.

It's press-shy Lachlan Murdoch's turn in the spotlight.
On Monday, at the offices of a powerhouse Los Angeles law firm, the head of Fox News' parent company — and son of its founder — is scheduled to be deposed under oath. He will face questions about his knowledge of the wild and false allegations the network presented about a voting tech company's role in then President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 elections.
The deposition represents the apex — to date — of the witnesses assembled by Dominion Voting System's legal team as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court. Despite supporting Trump throughout his presidency, Lachlan and his father Rupert Murdoch refused to force Fox News to retract its projection that Joe Biden would win the key state of Arizona on Election Night 2020 in the face of intense pressure from the Trump camp.
A slew of Fox News guests and hosts - among them Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and Maria Bartiromo - slammed Dominion Voting Systems for weeks afterward, breathlessly suggesting and even baselessly asserting it committed election fraud. Dominion says Fox was trying to win back the Trump loyalists who abandoned Fox after the election. And the voting tech's attorneys have worked its way up the ranks, deposing Fox News staffers from junior producers to those star hosts to network executives.
"It's an orchestrated effort," Dominion attorney Justin Nelson argued at a court hearing back in October. "It's not just on the part of each host individually, but it's across Fox News as a company." And, he said, that applied to Fox Corporation as well. Dominion's suit notes that countless local, state and federal officials and dozens of court rulings have validated the election as clean and fair.
Now attention swings upward to Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corp's executive chairman. Such legal proceedings can prove fraught, legal authorities say.
"Reputations can be made and broken in moments like this," says Charles Elson, an attorney who is the founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "If you prove not to be credible, that's a problem. If you prove to have acted in a sloppy manner, that's an issue too."
An unwelcome challenge to Lachlan Murdoch at a charged moment
The lawsuit represents an unexpected and unwelcome challenge to Murdoch - legally, potentially financially, and, as Elson suggests, professionally.
He and Rupert, the 91-year-old patriarch of the family's media empire, are intent on reuniting their broadcast and print empires despite some signs of mounting shareholder opposition. And Lachlan's three eldest siblings — Prudence, Elizabeth and James — are said by associates to be skeptical of Lachlan as the appropriate heir to lead their family's holdings after their father's death.
The move to once more combine the print and television holdings — News Corp and Fox Corp — are in large part a means for Lachlan to consolidate power before his father is no longer on the scene. The four older Murdoch children will then together control the family trust, which holds about 40 percent of voting stock. James, who left his position on the board of News Corp in July 2020 over the editorial direction of the Murdoch empire, was deposed in October.
Rupert Murdoch led Fox News for nearly two years after the Murdochs ousted then-Fox News chairman Roger Ailes over a sexual harassment scandal.
The elder Murdoch also struck a political alliance with Trump, though he has cooled on the former president, signaling in private and through his media outlets that he wants to see another generation of Republicans to rise.
Meanwhile, Lachlan Murdoch's free speech credentials have been somewhat muddied in his father's native country of Australia, where Lachlan moved his family during the pandemic; he is suing the political news site Crikey there for an opinion column calling the Murdochs "unindicted co-conspirators" in the January 6, 2021, siege of the U.S. Capitol for the vitriolic rhetoric of many of Fox's stars and guests.
According to court filings, the Dominion attorneys' deposition of Lachlan Murdoch "will continue from day to day (Sundays and holidays excluded) until complete, unless otherwise agreed."
Fox News's defense embraces the mantle of freedom of the press
The only major figure Dominion has not yet questioned is Rupert Murdoch. That is expected to happen before the end of the year.
Fox News has embraced the mantle of freedom of the press, calling this a nuisance suit and saying it expects to prevail. "There is nothing more newsworthy than covering the President of the United States and his lawyers making allegations of voter fraud," Fox News Media said in a statement for this story.
And it has invoked the journalistic standing of Hannity, in seeking to shield him from another round of questioning under oath. Under prior federal and Delaware court rulings, journalists have some protections against revealing sources and information in court. Hannity was one of Trump's most prominent champions on the air and one of the former president's closest advisers off the air.
During his Aug. 31st deposition, which lasted more than seven hours, Hannity was grilled about the episode of his program that ran on November 30, 2020. It featured Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell, who was condemned, among others, by a federal judge in Michigan for abusing the court system in her challenges to the 2020 election results. Dominion is also seeking the court to force Powell — in a separate case in Washington, D.C. — to produce documents involving her communications with Fox News.
Attorneys for Fox assert that an absolute journalistic privilege protects Hannity's conversations and communications with confidential sources as Dominion tries to force additional testimony from Hannity. Hannity is not himself a defendant in the case. Fox's legal filings note he has not waived his own claims of journalistic privilege.
Hannity has declared "I'm not a journalist"
Over the years, Hannity has publicly characterized himself in a series of contradictory ways. He has not only a strong conservative point of view but also a partisan bent; he has been chided several times by the network for campaigning on behalf of Republican candidates and conservative causes. "I'm not a journalist," Hannity said in fall 2016, in defending himself for giving Trump gentle treatment in the dozens interviews he conducted that election season. "I'm a talk show host."
Similarly, earlier this year, Hannity sought to knock down criticism of his repeated private exchanges with top Trump White House aides, including Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, after they surfaced in the House Select Committee's investigations into the January 6 siege of Congress.
"Yes, I'm a member of the press," Hannity told viewers of his program in April, "I'm on the Fox News Channel, which is a news channel, but I don't claim to be a journalist. I claim to be a talk show host."
He said he is capable of doing investigative reports and continued, "I am a registered conservative. Yes, I voted for Donald Trump. I make no apologies, I give my opinions straight-forward. We even do culture, we do sports – I'm like the whole newspaper."
Lachlan Murdoch typically characterizes Fox News as a "center-right" news organization. Fox draws a sharp distinction between its reporting and news shows with its point-of-view programming. Yet in recent years the network has jettisoned hours of news shows or relegated them to less-prominent time slots. And many outside observers — including former Fox News journalists — argue argue that Fox's hard-right tilt greatly influences its news shows as well.
Of late, Fox News and Dominion have sparred over whether Fox host Jeanine Pirro should have to give testimony anew after Dominion objected to her refusal to answer some questions about her texts. Dominion won the right for its lawyers to question her under oath further on Nov. 23rd. As NPR first disclosed, Dominion, in the discovery process for its lawsuit, acquired an email from a producer begging colleagues not to allow Pirro on the air after the 2020 election, saying she was spreading unfounded conspiracy theories plucked from unreliable websites. Pirro has recently been promoted to become a co-host of the popular weekday show, The Five.
Arguments over allegations that evidence was destroyed
Fox and Dominion are wrangling over other grounds as well. Fox News is arguing for sanctions against Dominion, alleging the company destroyed evidence: electronic messages of CEO John Poulos and senior executives Waldeep Singh and Kay Stinson. Such destruction is called "spoliation." Fox is asking for dismissal of the case, monetary punishments and other legal measures.
In a statement for this story, Fox News wrote: "Dominion's potential spoliation is not central to Fox's ability to make our case, but it should be noted that courts have found that intentional, bad-faith spoliation of evidence is an abuse of the judicial process and warrants a sanction. It is our intention to provide all relevant and material evidence in this matter."
A spokeswoman for Dominion replied, "This meritless claim is a distraction and will not impede Dominion from moving the case forward based on its merits. We intend to hold Fox accountable for its reckless disregard for the truth and are confident the truth will ultimately prevail."

AL KHOR, Qatar (AP) — As captain, Aliou Cisse led Senegal to victory over the defending World Cup champions and all the way to the quarterfinals, matching Africa's best run in its first appearance at the tournament.
As coach, Cisse is finding the World Cup much, much tougher.
The current African champions lost to England 3-0 on Sunday in a surprisingly lopsided result and were knocked out in the last 16.
Senegal had arrived with high hopes of at least matching that quarterfinal run of two decades ago, even without injured forward Sadio Mane, but was stopped by a ruthless performance from England.
“We just weren’t as good as we should have been,” Cisse said. “But I am not trying to make excuses. We have worked for years to be the best African side but now we were playing a team in the top five in the world and I think you saw the difference.”
Cisse has been a pivotal figure for Senegal at every one of the nation's three appearances at the World Cup — captain in 2002, coach in 2018 and this year.
That team in 2002 beat defending champion France in the tournament's opening game in a result still seen as one of the World Cup's biggest upsets. Senegal went on to become only the second African team after Cameroon in 1990 to make the last eight.
But Cisse's return as coach of Senegal resulted in his first bitter experience of the World Cup in 2018, when the team was eliminated in the group stage on a fair play rule because it had picked up more yellow cards than Japan.
In Qatar, there was a pre-tournament belief that Africa’s top-ranked team would be a dangerous opponent for anyone considering the depth of the squad, and because it finally fulfilled its promise by winning its first African Cup of Nations title in February.
The incident that might have had the most impact on Senegal’s hopes came two weeks before the World Cup started, when Mane slipped to the ground in a German league game with an injury to his right leg. It ruled Senegal’s all-time leading scorer and the driving force behind its recent success out of the World Cup, forcing Cisse to change much of his game plan with hardly any time.
Clearly hampered by the absence of Mane’s attacking threat up front, and also without key midfielders Idrissa Gueye (suspended) and Cheikhou Kouyate (injured), Senegal’s challenge faded away against England.
Senegal missed Mane “greatly,” Cisse said, but he also admitted his defense struggled badly against England and gave an honest assessment of how far his team still had to go to compete with the best in the world.
“I wasn’t expecting to let in three goals,” he said. “We’re at the World Cup here so you face the best teams in the world. One of the big five at world level.
"You pay for any mistake you make and any mistake we made tonight we paid for. Senegal has to keep working.”
Senegal may also have to finally face up to going to a World Cup without Cisse. It's never happened before.
But while Cisse has extended his coaching contract to 2024, when Senegal will defend its African Cup title, he hasn’t committed to the 2026 World Cup. He said Sunday he wasn't sure how long he'd stay now.
“We’ve just lost a game and been knocked out the tournament," Cisse said, "and I need to draw the lessons and then we’ll see.”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — DK Metcalf caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith with 36 seconds to play, and the Seattle Seahawks overcame an inspired performance by Bobby Wagner for a 27-23 victory over the spiraling Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Smith passed for a career-high 367 yards and threw three TD passes for the Seahawks (7-5), who barely snapped their two-game skid with 438 yards of offense against a Rams defense missing Aaron Donald.
After Cam Akers’ second TD run put the Rams up 23-20 with 2:56 to play, Smith patiently directed the winning 75-yard drive, hitting Marquise Goodwin for 17 yards one play before finding Metcalf between defenders in the end zone.
Tyler Lockett and Noah Fant caught early TD passes from Smith in the most prolific game of the quarterback's decade in the NFL. Metcalf had eight catches for 127 yards, and Lockett had nine receptions for a season-high 128 yards as the Seahawks sent defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles (3-9) to its sixth straight defeat.
Wagner had two sacks and an interception for the Rams in his first career game against Seattle, where he spent the previous 10 years and made six All-Pro teams while becoming one of the greatest linebackers of his generation. Although Wagner downplayed the matchup during the week, he played with a fire that nearly propelled the injury-depleted Super Bowl champions to their first victory since Oct. 16.
John Wolford passed for 178 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions for the Rams, who are ensured their first losing season in coach Sean McVay's six-year tenure.
Wolford made his fourth career start in place of Matthew Stafford, who missed his third game in four weeks for the Rams with injuries that have put him in the NFL’s concussion protocol twice. Stafford went on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him for at least three more games and possibly signaling the end of his season.
Donald, the seven-time All-Pro defensive tackle, also missed the first game of his nine-year Rams career due to injury, sitting out with a high ankle sprain. He joined a dizzying list of contributors with major injury problems for Los Angeles, including All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp and several key players on an offensive line that used its 12th starting combination in 12 games.
After Akers scored on the Rams' opening drive, Seattle made two long scoring drives ending in TD catches by Lockett and Fant. Los Angeles nearly kept pace offensively with an opponent for the first time in many weeks, but couldn't turn its drives into touchdowns.
Wagner ripped the ball out of Tony Jones Jr.'s hands for his interception late in the third quarter, leading to Matt Gay's third field goal that trimmed Seattle's lead to one point with 12:57 to play.
After Jason Myers' second field goal made it 20-16 with 6:46 left, the Rams went 75 yards for a score on a strong 6-yard run by Akers, who spent three weeks away from the team at midseason after a disagreement with the coaching staff.
INJURIES
Seattle lost rookie running back Kenneth Walker to an ankle injury in the first half. DeeJay Dallas then got hurt on the final play before halftime, but he returned after Jones — the only healthy running back left on Seattle’s roster — took a hard hit from Russ Yeast. ... Seattle defensive back Josh Jones was ruled out with a hamstring injury early in the second quarter.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Ticked off about a fourth-quarter taunting penalty, New York Giants center Jon Feliciano ripped the officials after a 20-all tie with the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
“It (hurts), especially when you are playing two teams,” he said.
With the Giants leading 20-13 and 6:22 left in regulation, New York got the ball at the Washington 47 following a punt.
Daniel Jones connected with wide receiver Darius Slayton on first down for 12 yards, putting the ball at the Commanders 35.
After the completion, Felicano ran down toward Slayton near the Giants' sideline. When he got there, he lifted his arms and flexed his muscles.
A flag came out and referee Brad Allen said Feliciano was penalized 15 yards for taunting after the play was over. It pushed the ball back to midfield, and the Giants never got a first down.
Down judge Sarah Thomas was closest to the play, but it was unclear who threw the flag.
Graham Gano, who had previously kicked a 48-yard field goal in that direction, never got the chance to give New York a 10-point lead.
Washington took the ensuing punt and drove 90 yards for a tying touchdown with 1:45 to play.
Feliciano said all he was doing was celebrating with teammates. He also anticipated the league might not be pleased with his postgame comments.
Giants coach Brian Daboll said Feliciano was trying to tell Slayton he made a good, strong run after the catch.
“It was (near) all those players,” Daboll said. “So again, how the guy looks at it and interprets it, I don’t think he can hear what Jon is saying to Slayton. So, they ended up calling it, which was obviously, we shouldn’t even be in that situation.
"We get the ball there; it’s going to be a first down. We’re at the 35 (yard line). Probably (would have) make it a two-score game. Those are things we can’t even make it close.”

Arizona state officials will meet on Monday to conduct the state’s vote canvass and officially declare winners from last month’s elections, a once low-profile step that this year is expected to spark lawsuits from multiple Republicans.
GOP figures have seized on printer malfunctions in the most populous jurisdiction of Maricopa County, contesting election officials’ insistence that no voter was disenfranchised and vowing to fight back in court when the state moves ahead.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s and Republican attorney general candidate Abraham Hamadeh’s campaigns have both signaled they will take legal action after tomorrow’s meeting, and the certification is also expected to spark recounts in multiple close races.
Republicans have also criticized Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) for declining to recuse herself from signing Monday’s paperwork given that she is now governor-elect, having defeated Lake last month.
Hobbs’s office has pushed back on those criticisms, portraying it as a ministerial act and noting that Gov. Doug Ducey (R), state Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) and the state supreme court’s chief justice are also expected to be in attendance.
The standoff echoes two years ago, when Ducey ignored a call from former President Trump to overturn President Biden’s victory in the state.
Here’s what to expect after Arizona certifies the vote tomorrow at 10 a.m. local time:
Automatic recounts
Under state law, election officials conduct recounts of races in which the vote difference between candidates is less than 0.5 percent following the state canvass.
Sophia Solis, a spokeswoman for Hobbs’s office, said that means Monday’s meeting will spark recounts for the contests for attorney general, state superintendent and a state legislative seat near Phoenix.
In the attorney general’s race, Hamadeh, the Republican candidate, trails Democrat Kris Mayes by just 510 votes out of more than 2.5 million ballots cast — a margin of just 0.02 percent.
That razor-thin margin would have gone to an automatic recount in years past as well, but a new law passed by the state legislature earlier this year increased the threshold from 0.1 percent to 0.5 percent.
That will cause Republican Tom Horne and Democrat Kathy Hoffman’s race for state superintendent to also go to a recount. Horne currently leads Hoffman by 0.36 percentage points, or about 9,000 raw votes.
New GOP lawsuits
Hamadeh’s and Lake’s campaigns have both indicated they will contest the results after the state canvass on Monday. Under state law, they have five days to do so after the meeting.
Hamadeh had already formally contested his election result in court, but a state judge dismissed the case as premature, saying Hamadeh must wait until the state canvass takes place.
Democrats had asked the judge to dismiss the case with prejudice so that Hamadeh wouldn’t be able to refile it after Monday, but the judge declined to do so.
“Plaintiffs’ lawsuit is premature,” the judge ruled. “That does not mean Plaintiffs must wait to file suit until after a recount, which everyone agrees will be needed for this race.”
A spokesperson for Hamadeh said last week he planned to refile the case after the state meeting, adding that “the merits of the lawsuit still stand.”
Hamadeh’s suit largely focuses on the printer malfunctions in Maricopa County — which includes Phoenix and roughly 60 percent of Arizona’s population — that printed ballots too light for tabulators to read.
County election officials have insisted voters could use one of multiple backup options, but Hamadeh’s now-dismissed lawsuit accuses them of misconduct and contests statistics they published about the issues.
Lake’s campaign has yet to formally contest her election result, but the Trump ally has conducted a series of interviews in recent days signaling she will do so.
“We’re going to be bringing our lawsuit after it is certified at the state level,” Lake told conservative radio host Joe Pags last week. “And we believe we have an excellent lawsuit. We have great attorneys working on it.”
Continuation of existing lawsuits
Although Lake has not formally contested her election result, she and others have filed other lawsuits in the wake of the election.
Lake’s campaign last month sued over public records requests it filed asking for additional data on the Maricopa County malfunctions, asking a state judge to delay the county’s certification until it completed the request.
Maricopa’s GOP-controlled board unanimously certified its vote canvass last week after responding to a separate information request from Arizona’s attorney general.
The judge has now expedited the case, scheduling a hearing for Wednesday afternoon.
“The Court hopes that the parties will resolve this dispute prior to the hearing, in which case the hearing will not be necessary,” the judge wrote in announcing the timeline.
Other Arizona Republicans have filed a series of lawsuits that have also been unsuccessful so far, but it is possible they could still appeal.

Online betting markets are heavily favoring incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) over Republican Herschel Walker in Georgia’s Senate runoff with two days until the election.
The Democrat’s chances of winning the runoff were at 89.5 percent to Walker’s 10.5 percent as of Sunday afternoon, according to the tracker Election Betting Odds, which culls odds from other popular betting markets.
The site, run by conservatives John Stossel and Maxim Lott, notes Warnock’s lead has climbed 1.4 percent in the last day.
PredictIt and Polymarket both show Warnock at 89 percent. Smarkets, another betting market used by Election Betting Odds, puts Warnock’s odds even higher — at 92.6 percent to Walker’s 8.3 percent.
Recent polling has also put Warnock in the lead, though only slightly.
Results from Emerson College and The Hill released last week showed the Democrat up by 2 percentage points, and a CNN poll released Friday found Warnock leading by 4 points.
Georgia’s Senate race went into a runoff after neither candidate earned the required majority to take the seat outright. Warnock came in ahead of Walker by just under 1 percentage point.
Early voting in the runoff, which ended Friday, smashed records for turnout with more than 300,000 Georgia voters casting their ballots in a single day last week.
Strong early voting is typically good news for Democrats, who have encouraged their supporters to turn out well ahead of election day through initiatives such as “souls to the polls,” encouraging people to vote after attending church on Sundays.
Warnock also held a massive advantage in fundraising and has reportedly kept up an ad blitz in recent weeks on television as well as Christian and conservative radio.
CNN’s survey noted that 47 percent of likely voters who support Walker said they were casting their ballots for the Republican out of opposition to Warnock rather than support for their chosen candidate.
On the other hand, 83 percent of likely voters who support Warnock said the main factor in their Senate vote was support for the Democrat — which tends to be a stronger indicator of motivation to vote.
Though popular Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) has campaigned for Walker for the first time ahead of the runoff, the governor won’t be on the ballot, which is seen as a handicap for Walker.
Neither former President Trump nor President Biden has campaigned in Georgia ahead of the high-stakes Senate election, though former President Obama did stump with Warnock earlier this week.
Though Democrats have already won enough races to keep control of the Senate, the Georgia contest could have significant repercussions on both sides of the political aisle.
A Warnock win could deliver yet another midterm loss to Trump, and it could reduce the leverage of moderate Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.).

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Things are getting very interesting during the afternoon matchup of the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals.
In a game that already saw Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase taunting Chiefs safety Justin Reid, the Bengals’ defense had some shenanigans of their own.
While Kansas City was getting ready to run their red zone offense, Bengals safety Jessie Bates laid down and grabbed his leg forcing an injury timeout.
His timing is significant because two Bengals players were running on the field for a substitution.
Bates walked off on his own power.
The Chiefs ended the drive with a touchdown to shorten their deficit to 14-10 before the half.

CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Kansas City Chiefs could not avenge their 2021 losses to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals beat the the Chiefs 27-24 on Sunday, the same exact score as the AFC Championship last season.
The Bengals started the game guns blazing and took an early 14-3 lead late into the second quarter. A Jerick McKinnon touchdown made the score 14-10 before the half.
Coming out of halftime, the Chiefs only needed seven plays to get an Isiah Pacheco touchdown and take a 17-14 lead. Cincinnati tied the game with a field goal on the next drive.
On the next drive on 4th and goal, quarterback Patrick Mahomes scrambled for a three-yard score by jumping over two defenders and taking a 24-17 lead. That helped Mahomes tie the most QB rushing touchdowns in franchise history with 10. Alex Smith is the other quarterback.
After the Bengals kick a field goal to make it 24-20, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce fumbled early in the fourth quarter to give Cincy the ball back.
The Bengals capitalized and took a 27-24 lead with less than nine minutes to go in the game.
After a five and a half minute drive, Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker missed a 55-yard field goal that would have tied the game.
After the two-minute warning on third and 11, Burrow found receiver Tee Higgins for 14 yards and a first down to clinch the game.
Mahomes ended the game with 233 yards and one touchdown. Pacheco finished the night with 66 rushing yards and a TD.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling led the receiving effort with 71 yards on two catches.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was efficient throwing 25 or 31 with 286 yards and two touchdowns. Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase led the receivers with seven catches for 97 yards. Running back Semaje Perine also ruled the ground with 106 yards on 21 carries.
This loss gives the Buffalo Bills the number one seed and the Chiefs fall to the second seed.
The Chiefs continue their road trip to Denver where they will face the Broncos.

Arizona state officials will meet on Monday to conduct the state’s vote canvass and officially declare winners from last month’s elections, a once low-profile step that this year is expected to spark lawsuits from multiple Republicans.
GOP figures have seized on printer malfunctions in the most populous jurisdiction of Maricopa County, contesting election officials’ insistence that no voter was disenfranchised and vowing to fight back in court when the state moves ahead.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s and Republican attorney general candidate Abraham Hamadeh’s campaigns have both signaled they will take legal action after tomorrow’s meeting, and the certification is also expected to spark recounts in multiple close races.
Republicans have also criticized Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) for declining to recuse herself from signing Monday’s paperwork given that she is now governor-elect, having defeated Lake last month.
Hobbs’s office has pushed back on those criticisms, portraying it as a ministerial act and noting that Gov. Doug Ducey (R), state Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) and the state supreme court’s chief justice are also expected to be in attendance.
The standoff echoes two years ago, when Ducey ignored a call from former President Trump to overturn President Biden’s victory in the state.
Here’s what to expect after Arizona certifies the vote tomorrow at 10 a.m. local time:
Automatic recounts
Under state law, election officials conduct recounts of races in which the vote difference between candidates is less than 0.5 percent following the state canvass.
Sophia Solis, a spokeswoman for Hobbs’s office, said that means Monday’s meeting will spark recounts for the contests for attorney general, state superintendent and a state legislative seat near Phoenix.
In the attorney general’s race, Hamadeh, the Republican candidate, trails Democrat Kris Mayes by just 510 votes out of more than 2.5 million ballots cast — a margin of just 0.02 percent.
That razor-thin margin would have gone to an automatic recount in years past as well, but a new law passed by the state legislature earlier this year increased the threshold from 0.1 percent to 0.5 percent.
That will cause Republican Tom Horne and Democrat Kathy Hoffman’s race for state superintendent to also go to a recount. Horne currently leads Hoffman by 0.36 percentage points, or about 9,000 raw votes.
New GOP lawsuits
Hamadeh’s and Lake’s campaigns have both indicated they will contest the results after the state canvass on Monday. Under state law, they have five days to do so after the meeting.
Hamadeh had already formally contested his election result in court, but a state judge dismissed the case as premature, saying Hamadeh must wait until the state canvass takes place.
Democrats had asked the judge to dismiss the case with prejudice so that Hamadeh wouldn’t be able to refile it after Monday, but the judge declined to do so.
“Plaintiffs’ lawsuit is premature,” the judge ruled. “That does not mean Plaintiffs must wait to file suit until after a recount, which everyone agrees will be needed for this race.”
A spokesperson for Hamadeh said last week he planned to refile the case after the state meeting, adding that “the merits of the lawsuit still stand.”
Hamadeh’s suit largely focuses on the printer malfunctions in Maricopa County — which includes Phoenix and roughly 60 percent of Arizona’s population — that printed ballots too light for tabulators to read.
County election officials have insisted voters could use one of multiple backup options, but Hamadeh’s now-dismissed lawsuit accuses them of misconduct and contests statistics they published about the issues.
Lake’s campaign has yet to formally contest her election result, but the Trump ally has conducted a series of interviews in recent days signaling she will do so.
“We’re going to be bringing our lawsuit after it is certified at the state level,” Lake told conservative radio host Joe Pags last week. “And we believe we have an excellent lawsuit. We have great attorneys working on it.”
Continuation of existing lawsuits
Although Lake has not formally contested her election result, she and others have filed other lawsuits in the wake of the election.
Lake’s campaign last month sued over public records requests it filed asking for additional data on the Maricopa County malfunctions, asking a state judge to delay the county’s certification until it completed the request.
Maricopa’s GOP-controlled board unanimously certified its vote canvass last week after responding to a separate information request from Arizona’s attorney general.
The judge has now expedited the case, scheduling a hearing for Wednesday afternoon.
“The Court hopes that the parties will resolve this dispute prior to the hearing, in which case the hearing will not be necessary,” the judge wrote in announcing the timeline.
Other Arizona Republicans have filed a series of lawsuits that have also been unsuccessful so far, but it is possible they could still appeal.

Online betting markets are heavily favoring incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) over Republican Herschel Walker in Georgia’s Senate runoff with two days until the election.
The Democrat’s chances of winning the runoff were at 89.5 percent to Walker’s 10.5 percent as of Sunday afternoon, according to the tracker Election Betting Odds, which culls odds from other popular betting markets.
The site, run by conservatives John Stossel and Maxim Lott, notes Warnock’s lead has climbed 1.4 percent in the last day.
PredictIt and Polymarket both show Warnock at 89 percent. Smarkets, another betting market used by Election Betting Odds, puts Warnock’s odds even higher — at 92.6 percent to Walker’s 8.3 percent.
Recent polling has also put Warnock in the lead, though only slightly.
Results from Emerson College and The Hill released last week showed the Democrat up by 2 percentage points, and a CNN poll released Friday found Warnock leading by 4 points.
Georgia’s Senate race went into a runoff after neither candidate earned the required majority to take the seat outright. Warnock came in ahead of Walker by just under 1 percentage point.
Early voting in the runoff, which ended Friday, smashed records for turnout with more than 300,000 Georgia voters casting their ballots in a single day last week.
Strong early voting is typically good news for Democrats, who have encouraged their supporters to turn out well ahead of election day through initiatives such as “souls to the polls,” encouraging people to vote after attending church on Sundays.
Warnock also held a massive advantage in fundraising and has reportedly kept up an ad blitz in recent weeks on television as well as Christian and conservative radio.
CNN’s survey noted that 47 percent of likely voters who support Walker said they were casting their ballots for the Republican out of opposition to Warnock rather than support for their chosen candidate.

Though popular Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) has campaigned for Walker for the first time ahead of the runoff, the governor won’t be on the ballot, which is seen as a handicap for Walker.

Though Democrats have already won enough races to keep control of the Senate, the Georgia contest could have significant repercussions on both sides of the political aisle.
A Warnock win could deliver yet another midterm loss to Trump, and it could reduce the leverage of moderate Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.).

HOUSTON (KIAH) — The University of Houston football team will make its 30th bowl appearance all-time when the Cougars face off against the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl at 2 p.m. CT on Friday, Dec. 23, from Independence Stadium in Shreveport, La.
Houston won five of its final seven games to finish the regular season at 7-5 overall. The Cougars, led by First-Team All-American Athletic Conference quarterback Clayton Tune, were among the nation’s premier offenses, scoring 30-plus points in 11 of their 12 games.
The Coogs went 5-3 in its final American Athletic Conference season before moving to the Big 12 Conference in 2023. The Cougars are competing in their 15th bowl game in the last 18 seasons – the most in the state of Texas in that span.
Louisiana (6-6) is heading bowling for a school-record fifth consecutive season. The Ragin’ Cajuns placed 11 on the All-Sun Belt Conference team while making a name for themselves on special teams, leading the league in blocked kicks (5), kickoff return defense (16.57) and punt returns (16.24).
The Cajuns beat Texas State to become bowl eligible. Houston lost to Tulsa in its regular season finale.

HOUSTON (KIAH) — Mississippi and Texas Tech are set to meet in the Texas Bowl at Houston’s NRG Stadium on Dec. 28.
The 2022 TaxAct Texas Bowl will be played at 8 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPN.
Ole Miss (8-4, 4-4 SEC) comes to Houston following a campaign that had an explosive start in 2022. Lane Kiffin’s offensive prowess facilitated a rushing attack that led the SEC and ranked third in the FBS in rushing offense. The Rebels came in second in the SEC and seventh nationally in total offense.
However, the Rebels lost three in a row to end the regular season. That included a loss to rival Mississippi State in which they were held to a season-low 335 yards.
“We look forward to making our first appearance in the TaxAct Texas Bowl and continuing our rich bowl tradition,” said Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter. “Houston is one of our largest and most passionate alumni bases, and this game presents an excellent opportunity to join the Ole Miss family in the Lone Star state. We are grateful for this national platform, and we expect Rebel Nation to be well represented.”
Texas Tech enters the game 7-5 (5-4 Big 12), winning their last three in a row against Kansas, Iowa State, and Oklahoma to finish fourth in the Big 12. The Red Raiders celebrated early season upsets against No. 25 Houston and No. 22 Texas in Lubbock.
Tech leads the Big 12 in passing yards per game, averaging over 327. The offense effectively moved the ball, ranking third in the nation for first downs.
“On behalf of our entire program, we are excited for the opportunity to play in one of the premier bowl games this state has to offer in the TaxAct Texas Bowl,” said Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire. “Wherever the Red Raiders go, so does the most passionate fan base in all of college football. We can’t wait to see a sea of Red Raiders take over NRG Stadium as we face a talented Ole Miss team.”
The teams met in 2018 in the first game at NRG Stadium. Ole Miss won 47-27.

HOUSTON (KIAH) — Rice will make its first postseason bowl appearance in eight years when the Owls head to Mobile, Ala., to face Southern Mississippi in the Lending Tree Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 17.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to take this team to Mobile and play Southern Miss,” Rice head coach Mike Bloomgren said. “It’s especially meaningful since Rice has not been bowling since 2014 and when we practiced last week, I could tell how much this game means to our team. Our seniors have a chance to represent Rice one more time and earn the right to be called bowl champions and our underclassmen can take another step in the building of this program.”
Southern Miss plays in the Sun Belt Conference and is 6-6. Rice is 5-7 and making its last appearance as a member of Conference USA. The two are former Conference USA opponents and split the first 12 meetings.
Southern Miss is led by running back Frank Gore Jr., who has run for 1,053 yards and seven touchdowns.
Rice quarterback TJ McMahon has passed for more 2,102 yards and 18 touchdowns while throwing 14 interceptions.
The Owls and Golden Eagles shared one common opponent this past season as both defeated Louisiana, Rice beat the Ragin Cajuns 33-21 on Sept. 17 at Rice Stadium won while Southern Miss won 39-24 in Hattiesburg on Oct. 27.

HOUSTON (AP) — Deshaun Watson didn’t play well Sunday in his return after sitting out almost two years.
Cleveland’s defense and special teams ensured the Browns got the win despite his struggles.
Watson turned in a sloppy performance in his first game in 700 days, but a punt return for a touchdown by Donovan Peoples-Jones and two defensive TDs were plenty enough to give the Browns a 27-14 victory over the lowly Houston Texans.
In the same stadium where he played his previous game, a rusty Watson threw for 131 yards with an interception in his debut for the Browns (5-7) against his former team in his return after serving an 11-game NFL suspension for sexual misconduct allegations.
“It’s not going to be perfect, especially playing December football and it’s Week 1 for me,” Watson said. “It was fun, though. It was awesome to be out there with my teammates. The defense played a heck of a game. Special teams return was big for us. That’s what we needed at the time. It’s a team sport.”
Plenty of fans attended the game wearing Watson’s No. 4 jersey from both the Texans (1-10-1) and the Browns, but there were also detractors with loud boos raining down on him every time he touched the ball.
“They’re supposed to boo,” said Watson, once a fan favorite in Houston. “I’m a Cleveland Brown now.”
The Browns trailed 5-0 early, but a 76-yard punt return by Peoples-Jones put them on top in the second quarter and Denzel Ward’s 4-yard fumble return for a score pushed the lead to 14-5 early in the third quarter.
“He’s human,” Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said of Watson. “Coming back here, first game in a while, his teammates had his back.”
Cleveland didn’t score on offense until a 43-yard field goal made it 17-8 with about 10 minutes remaining. The Browns added a second defensive score when Tony Fields intercepted Kyle Allen and returned it 16 yards on the next play. It’s the first time in franchise history that the Browns had three non-offensive touchdowns in a game.
“I think our defense played well throughout (but) their defense outplayed our defense today,” Houston coach Lovie Smith said.
Allen had a terrible day in his second start since Davis Mills was benched. He threw for 201 yards with a fumble that was returned for a touchdown and two interceptions, the second of which was returned for a score, as Houston’s skid stretched seven games.
“Offensively you can’t win many games playing like that,” Smith said. “I’m just disappointed in how we played offensively.”
It was Watson’s first start since Jan. 3, 2021, when he threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns for Houston in a 41-38 loss to Tennessee.
Soon after that, he became unhappy with the direction of the team and requested a trade. Then, two dozen women accused him of sexual harassment or assault during massage therapy sessions.
He remained on Houston’s roster last year, but sat out all season before being traded to the Browns in March.
Watson agreed to the lengthy suspension, a $5 million fine and had to undergo professional counseling and therapy after an independent arbitrator ruled that he violated the league’s personal conduct policy.
Watson was 12 of 22 and finished with a 53.4 QB rating, which was the lowest of a career where he took the Texans to the playoffs in two of the four seasons he played for them.
His first completion was on his third throw on a short pass to Anthony Schwartz. But Tavierre Thomas stripped the ball and Desmond King recovered it to give Houston the ball on the Cleveland 38.
The Texans had a first down at the 16, but a face mask penalty followed by a false start pushed them back 20 yards and they settled for a 44-yard field goal four plays later to make it 3-0.
Nick Chubb had 80 yards rushing for the Browns and Kareem Hunt added 56 yards.
Watson was hit as he threw and was picked off in the end zone by rookie Jalen Pitre with about 3½ minutes left in the first quarter. Pitre returned it 29 yards.
“There’s some good things that we can build on, but overall, we just got to make more plays,” Pitre said.
The Texans got down to the 1, but Allen threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-1 to give the Browns the ball back. Three plays later Roy Lopez tackled Chubb in the end zone to make it 5-0.
Peoples-Jones put the Browns on top when he returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to make it 7-5 with about four minutes left in the second.
He evaded four tackles at the start of the return and then simply outran everyone the rest of the way for Cleveland’s first punt return for a score since Travis Benjamin had a 78-yard return on Sept 20, 2015.
The Texans looked to have returned a fumble by Watson for a touchdown with less than a minute left in the first half. But officials ruled that it was an incomplete pass.
The Browns extended the lead to 14-5 when Ward scooped up a fumble by Allen and returned it 4 yards for a touchdown with about 10 minutes left in the third quarter.
Cleveland became the 11th team since the merger to have three or more touchdowns combined on defense and special teams without a TD on offense and the first since the Eagles did it in a 26-21 loss to San Francisco on Sept. 28, 2014.
Allen was intercepted on the first play of the game when John Johnson grabbed a pass that was deflected by Teagan Quitoriano. The play was first ruled an incomplete pass, but the Browns challenged it, and it was reversed.
INJURIES
Browns rookie WR David Bell injured his hand in the first quarter. … Schwartz left in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury. … MLB Sione Takitaki injured his leg in the fourth quarter. … TE David Njoku missed his third game in five weeks with a knee injury. … Texans RB Troy Hairston injured his ribs in the second quarter. … RB Rex Burkhead missed the game with a concussion. … WR Brandin Cooks sat out with a calf injury.
FIRST TIMER
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña, the World Series MVP, attended Sunday’s game and was on the sideline to hype up fans before kickoff. He said it was a new experience for him.
“It’s special,” he said. “This is my first football game ever, so I’m excited for that.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jaylen Clark and Jaime Jaquez Jr. had had enough of losing to Oregon.
The junior and senior had yet to win against the Ducks in their UCLA careers. They finally put an end to their frustrations.
Clark and freshman Amari Bailey scored 14 points each and the 21st-ranked Bruins rallied in the final four minutes for a 65-56 victory Sunday.
“It just came down to the fact, are we going to let another year go by and not beat these guys?” Clark said. “We don’t want to lose to these guys. We don’t want to have to deal with what comes after.”
The Bruins (7-2, 2-0 Pac-12) hadn’t had a big scoring run all game until they pulled away late to end a four-game skid against the Ducks that included getting swept last season.
“It means a lot,” Jaquez said.
Clinging to a one-point lead, UCLA scored eight in a row to make it 63-54. Jaquez scored four points and Bailey had four points as well, capping the run with a two-handed dunk.
“He's a high-level athlete, a high-level player,” Clark said of Bailey, whom he played against in high school. “You know you're going to have explosive plays like that dunk at the end. That's why he's going to be out of here pretty soon.”
Bailey came up with a flying block of Brennan Rigsby with barely a minute left and Quincy Guerrier missed a 3-pointer for the Ducks (4-5, 1-1).
“He’s got great talent,” Bruins coach Mick Cronin said of Bailey, who shot 7-of-12. “Very rare for a young player to understand shot selection. It shows his basketball IQ. Rarely forces (a shot).”
After Jaquez made a pair of free throws, Guerrier missed another 3-pointer from the right sideline with Jaquez in his face in the closing seconds of the Bruins' fourth straight victory.
Guerrier led the Ducks with 15 points and Will Richardson added 13 points.
Jaquez, who averages 18 points, finished with 12 points after early foul trouble.
David Singleton hit a 3-pointer to put the Bruins ahead 49-47 before Rivaldo Soares scored to tie it. From there, the teams went back and forth. The Ducks got within one on a pair of free throws by Lok Wur.
Trailing by six, the Ducks ran off nine straight points to regain the lead, 47-44. Guerrier hit a 3-pointer and another basket and Richardson chipped in a basket as part of the spurt.
After being limited to six minutes, Jaquez returned to start the second half and showed why the Bruins missed him while in foul trouble. He keyed a 12-4 run that gave UCLA its first lead, 33-31, since early in the game. Jaquez scored, then stole the ball in a play capped by Bailey's one-handed dunk.
“I knew I was going to try to make some plays and make something happen,” Jaquez said.
The Ducks led 27-21 at the break after holding the Bruins to a season-low in first-half points.
“Jaime had the right statement at halftime to the team,” Cronin said. “He said we can’t worry about our offense. We got to keep on playing defense.”
BIG PICTURE
Oregon: The Ducks lost to ranked Houston, UConn and Michigan State and now face lesser non-conference opponents in their next four games before playing rival Oregon State.
UCLA: After winning their first two Pac-12 games to tie Utah atop the league standings, the Bruins return to non-conference play for four straight games. They have tough road contests at Maryland and against Kentucky in Madison Square Garden. Having lost to ranked Illinois and Baylor, they'll be eager to show how much they've improved since mid-November. “We got a lot of young guys,” Cronin said. “We just got to keep pounding nails. It’s the only way to build something.”
