NEW YORK (AP) — The city of New York is settling lawsuits filed on behalf of two men who were exonerated last year for the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X, agreeing to pay $26 million for the wrongful convictions which led to both men spending decades behind bars.
The state of New York will pay an additional $10 million. David Shanies, an attorney representing the men, confirmed the settlements on Sunday.
“Muhammad Aziz, Khalil Islam, and their families suffered because of these unjust convictions for more than 50 years,” said Shanies said in an email. “The City recognized the grave injustices done here, and I commend the sincerity and speed with which the Comptroller’s Office and the Corporation Counsel moved to resolve the lawsuits.”
Shanies said the settlements send a message that “police and prosecutorial misconduct cause tremendous damage, and we must remain vigilant to identify and correct injustices.”
Last year, a Manhattan judge dismissed the convictions of Aziz, now 84, and Islam, who died in 2009, after prosecutors said new evidence of witness intimidation and suppression of exculpatory evidence had undermined the case against the men. Then-District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. apologized for law enforcement’s “serious, unacceptable violations of law and the public trust.”
The New York City Law Department, through a spokesperson, said Sunday it “stands by” Vance’s opinion that the men were wrongfully convicted and the financial agreement “brings some measure of justice to individuals who spent decades in prison and bore the stigma of being falsely accused of murdering an iconic figure.”
Shanies said over the next few weeks the settlement documents will be signed and the New York court that handles probate matters will have to approve the settlement for Islam’s estate. The total $36 million will be divided equally between Aziz and the estate of Islam.
Aziz and Islam, who maintained their innocence from the start in the 1965 killing at Upper Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom, were paroled in the 1980s.
Malcolm X gained national prominence as the voice of the Nation of Islam, exhorting Black people to claim their civil rights “by any means necessary.” His autobiography, written with Alex Haley, remains a classic work of modern American literature.
Near the end of Malcolm X’s life, he split with the Black Muslim organization and, after a trip to Mecca, started speaking about the potential for racial unity. It earned him the ire of some in the Nation of Islam, who saw him as a traitor.
He was shot to death while beginning a speech Feb. 21, 1965. He was 39.
Aziz and Islam, then known as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson, and a third man were convicted of murder in March 1966. They were sentenced to life in prison.
The third man, Mujahid Abdul Halim — also known as Talmadge Hayer and Thomas Hagan — admitted to shooting Malcolm X but said neither Aziz nor Islam was involved. The two offered alibis, and no physical evidence linked them to the crime. The case hinged on eyewitnesses, although there were inconsistencies in their testimony.
Attorneys for Aziz and Islam said in complaints that both Aziz and Islam were at their homes in the Bronx when Malcolm X was killed. They said Aziz spent 20 years in prison and more than 55 years living with the hardship and indignity attendant to being unjustly branded as a convicted murderer of one of the most important civil rights leaders in history.
Islam spent 22 years in prison and died still hoping to clear his name.

WYANDOTTE, Mich. (AP) — Trick-or-treating is off limits in a suburban Detroit neighborhood: There’s nothing sweet about bringing home a cockroach.
Officials in Wyandotte said a cockroach infestation has been confirmed at a vacant home after a tip from a trash hauler. The pests have been moving to other homes.
Sidewalks will be closed Monday night on a portion of 20th Street. City engineer Greg Mayhew said a Halloween ban will prevent “further roach migration.” Officials don’t want the bugs hitching a ride on costumes, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The city is trying to exterminate the roaches but “it will take some time,” Mayhew said.
Walking the street could help kill the cockroaches, but their eggs still could spread and survive, City Council member Todd Hanna said.

Start saving now for next Halloween
While it might be too late to buy costumes and decorations for Halloween 2022, that does not mean you shouldn’t shop for items, such as inflatables and masks, for 2023.

What are the best Lego Mario sets?
After being announced in 2018, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” now has an official trailer and a star-studded cast, including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black and more A-list celebs. While the Italian plumber in his red jumpsuit stirs up nostalgic feelings, this movie also draws in new fans who are impatiently waiting for the release in April 2023. If you want to move away from Mario games and bring out your creative side, check out these Lego Mario sets to pass the time until the movie hits theaters.
In this article: Lego Super Mario Adventures with Mario Starter Course, Lego Super Mario Peach’s Castle Expansion Set and Lego Super Mario The Mighty Bowser Toy Set.
What to know about Lego Mario sets
How to get the Lego Mario character
Since Mario is the main character in The Super Mario Bros., most people probably want a Lego Mario character to play with or display. However, Lego Mario is only available in the Mario Starter Course set. So, if you’re considering a beginner set to start out with, that may be a good choice.
The best age for Lego Mario sets
While some may consider Lego sets to be a kid’s toy, there are actually a ton of sets for all ages. For example, some Lego Mario sets have a starting age of 6, while others are designed for adults and have a recommended age of 18 and up. So, whether you want to play with Legos or display them, there’s a set for you.
Considerations when choosing a Lego set
Age recommendation
Before purchasing a Lego set, be sure to check the recommended age level. Sets generally increase in difficulty with more pieces. For example, Lego Duplo sets have around 20 pieces are ideal for 2 years and older, while other sets contain 3,000 pieces and are designed for 18 and older. Lego City sets are suitable starting at four years old, while Lego Friends begin at around 6 years old. It’s essential to stick with the recommended age level so children don’t get disappointed if they can’t complete it or are bored if it’s too easy.
Playability
Are you interested in playing with the Lego set or displaying it in a case or on a shelf? The interactive sets are ideal for those who want to have fun with their Lego set, while the collectible-style sets would make an excellent display.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Micah Parsons returned a fumble for his first NFL score and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 49-29 on Sunday.
Tony Pollard ran for 131 yards and three TDs with Ezekiel Elliott sidelined by a right knee injury as the Cowboys (6-2) made it 2-for-2 in a four-game stretch against the NFC North.
Justin Fields rallied the Bears (3-5) within five after trailing 28-7, but they had already given the momentum back when the young quarterback leapt into the wrong kind of Chicago lore.
David Montgomery fumbled in the open field after a catch in the third quarter, and Parsons fell on the loose ball. Instead of touching Parsons down, Fields jumped over him.
The star linebacker got up, took off at the urging of teammates, stumbled toward the goal line and rolled over in the end zone on the 36-yard return. Officials didn’t even stop the game for a review.
The Cowboys scored touchdowns on their first four possessions for the first time since 2014, two years before Prescott and Elliott arrived as dynamic rookies leading the team to the top seed in the NFC.
Prescott opened the scoring with a 7-yard run on a nifty play design by offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Prescott’s two TD passes, including one to CeeDee Lamb, came on either side of Pollard’s first score.
Fields threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score. His 10-yard toss to Cole Kmet got Chicago back within 13 after his gaffe on Parsons put Dallas up 42-23.
Pollard answered with a 54-yard touchdown to get the lead back to 20 and keep the Bears from rallying despite their fourth 200-yard rushing game of the season (240).
Khalil Herbert, whose had what appeared to be a third-quarter fumble overturned on review to help Chicago to stay close, finished with 99 yards and a TD. Fields added 60 and Montgomery 53.
Prescott was 21 of 27 for 250 yards with an interception in his second game back after missing five with a fractured right thumb. Pollard tied his career highs in yards and carries (14).
MAYBE NEXT TIME, ROOKIE
Malik Davis appeared to have an 11-yard touchdown catch in the undrafted rookie running back’s NFL debut for the Cowboys. It was overturned on review, and Prescott’s second TD pass was a 1-yarder to tight end Jake Ferguson instead. Ferguson and Dalton Schultz followed with quite the roping celebration.
INJURIES
Dallas LB Anthony Barr injured his left hamstring pursuing Fields on a first-half run, and rookie fifth-round pick Damone Clark replaced him. Clark was making his NFL debut seven months after spinal fusion surgery.
UP NEXT
Bears: Miami at home next Sunday.
Cowboys: Open week before trip to Green Bay on Nov. 13.

LONDON (AP) — Jaguars return specialist Jamal Agnew is inactive for Jacksonville’s game against the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Agnew was limited in practice Friday and had been questionable to play because of a knee injury that kept him out of last week’s 23-17 loss to the New York Giants.
The Jags are expected to use wide receiver Christian Kirk for punt return duties and running back JaMycal Hasty on kickoff returns as they did last week in Agnew’s absence.
Agnew also has seven receptions and two touchdowns this season as a wide receiver.
Also inactive for Jacksonville were CB Tevaughn Campbell, S Tyree Gillespie and DL Adam Gotsis. All three did not make the trip to London.
For Denver, second-year safety Caden Sterns (hip) was placed on injured reserve on Friday.
The Broncos’ inactive players are CB Essang Bassey (hamstring), OLB Baron Browning (hip), WR Tyrie Cleveland (groin), T Cam Fleming (quad), as well as RB Marlon Mack, TE Albert Okwuegbunam and DL Eyioma Uwazurike.
Denver promoted RB Devine Ozigbo from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and elevated OLB Jonathan Kongbo and T Quinn Bailey.

The Big 12 has reached an agreement on a six-year contract extension with ESPN and Fox worth more than $2 billion that will keep the conference’s media rights with those networks through the 2030-31 college sports seasons, according to people familiar with the deal.
Two people confirmed details of the new media rights deal to The Associated Press on Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity because contracts have yet to be finalized and no official announcement was expected soon.
Sports Business Journal was the first to report the deal would be worth $380 million annually. The Big 12 still has two years left on its current deals with Fox and ESPN.
New Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark announced in August he was engaging the networks in discussions about an extension and just a few weeks ago said a new deal could be done soon.
The television deal provides stability to a league that a little more than a year ago seemed to be in danger of falling apart. Oklahoma and Texas announced in the summer of 2021 that they intended to leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference at the end of the current TV deal, which expires in 2025.
Former Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and the conference moved quickly to add Houston, Cincinnati, Central Florida and BYU. Those four will join next year, giving the Big 12 14 teams for at least one season.
It would cost tens of millions of dollars for Texas and Oklahoma to break current contracts leave the conference early.
Without the Longhorns and Sooners, there were concerns about how much networks would value the the Big 12. The final two years of the current deal pays $220 million annually.

Tennessee moved into a tie with Ohio State for No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday to set up a 1 vs. 2 matchup next week with top-ranked Georgia.
Georgia-Tennessee will be the 25th regular-season game matching the top two teams in the AP poll, and the third straight involving Southeastern Conference teams. Neither the Bulldogs nor the Volunteers have ever played in a 1-2 game in the regular season.
Georgia remained No. 1 for the fourth straight week, receiving 30 first-place votes and 1,528 points in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank.
The Volunteers moved up a spot, receiving 18 first-place votes and 1,500 points to match Ohio State. The Buckeyes received 15 first-place votes. The last time there was a tie at No. 2 in the AP poll was Nov. 14, 2004, between Auburn and Oklahoma behind No. 1 Southern California.
On Saturday, Tennessee routed Kentucky 44-6 and Ohio State won 44-31 at Penn State.
Tennessee has not been ranked this high since it was No. 2 in 2001, a season the Vols finished fourth.
No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Clemson, No. 6 Alabama, No. 7 TCU and No. 8 Oregon held their spots in the rankings. USC moved up a spot to ninth and No. 10 UCLA gave the Pac-12 three teams in the top-10 for the first time since November 2016.
The last time both Los Angeles schools were in the top 10 was September 2015.
The first College Football Playoff rankings of the season will be released Tuesday night.
POLL POINTS
The last two 1-2 regular-season games both involved Alabama and LSU.
The Tigers were No. 1 in 2019 when they beat the second-ranked Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on the way to an SEC and national championship.
In 2011, the top-ranked Tigers won at No. 2 Alabama in overtime and the two SEC West rivals played again in the BCS national championship game. The Tide won the rematch and finished No. 1.
Including postseason games, this will be the 53rd game matching AP’s No. 1 and No. 2 since the poll began in 1936.

Earlier this year Kansas broke a 13-year rankings drought, which had been the longest in Power Five. Then Illinois broke the next longest dry spell, moving into the rankings for the first time since 2011.
Rutgers currently holds the longest AP Top 25 drought among Power Five teams, dating back to 2012. Vanderbilt is next. The Commodores have not been ranked since the 2013 season.
— No. 25 UCF is ranked for the first time since Sept. 27, 2020.

Bill Belichick will appreciate reaching another coaching milestone some other time. Just getting a win was all that mattered Sunday.
Belichick passed George Halas for second place on the NFL’s career victories list and the last-place New England Patriots continued their mastery of the surprising New York Jets by beating them for the 13th straight time, 22-17.
“I’ll have a thought on that when it’s over,” Belichick said of earning his 325th victory. “Add ’em up in the end. It’s good to come down here and win. Happy for our team. I appreciate all the great players that have won those games.”
Devin McCourty had two of the Patriots’ three interceptions of Zach Wilson. Nick Folk kicked five field goals against his former team, and Belichick’s bunch slowed the Jets, who had won four in a row.
Belichick missed a chance to break a tie with Halas on Monday night, when New England (4-4) lost at home to Chicago 33-14. But now he trails only Don Shula (347). The victory was also Belichick’s 100th in the regular season against AFC East opponents as coach of the Patriots.
“Everyone’s happy for him,” Folk said. “The league’s been around something like 103 years. So for that to happen, it’s a big win.”
Mac Jones, who was benched against the Bears for rookie Bailey Zappe, finished 24 of 35 for 194 yards with a touchdown to Jakobi Meyers and an interception. Rhamondre Stevenson had 71 yards on 16 carries and caught seven passes for 72 yards.
“We hung in there,” Belichick said. “Proud of the way the team stepped up on a short week here and came in and got the win.”
The Jets (5-3), who snapped a 12-game skid against AFC East opponents by beating Miami three weeks ago, couldn’t change their fortunes against the Patriots — even while debuting their stealth black alternate helmets.
“Offensively, we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot,” coach Robert Saleh said. “Just not allowing ourselves to continue drives and stack together consecutive good plays.”
After a promising start, Wilson made too many mistakes in the first 300-yard passing game of his career — he was 20 of 41 for 355 yards and two TDs to Tyler Conklin — and New England took advantage.
“I had some boneheaded plays,” Wilson acknowledged, saying his second and third interceptions were “bad plays.”
Many in the MetLife Stadium crowd that was raucous at kickoff with the Jets off to their best start since 2010 were booing by the third quarter — and filing to the exits long before the game was over.
“It was pretty calm for MetLife,” said Folk, who played seven seasons with the Jets.
New York made it closer on Wilson’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Conklin with 1:51 left, but New England recovered the onside kick and Jones took three kneeldowns to run out the clock.
“We needed it,” McCourty said. “It’s tough — you go out there at home and you get booed and you don’t really show up in any phase of the game. It was ugly for us. Chicago whupped us. We had to fast forward.”
Trailing 10-6 coming out of halftime, the Patriots marched down the field. On fourth-and-1 from the 5, Belichick went for it — and Jones found Meyers for a go-ahead touchdown.
“Very important as far as momentum and helping the defense,” Meyers said. “They pretty much played great all day. We just had to give them a little something — a little spark.”
After Greg Zuerlein was wide left on a potential tying 45-yarder early in the third, Folk made kicks of 49, 45 and 52 yards to make it 22-10 early in the fourth.
MOMENTUM SWINGS
With the Patriots trailing by seven and facing fourth-and-1 from the Jets 21 coming out of the 2-minute warning before halftime, Belichick opted to go for it. Jones’ throw to Meyers fell incomplete and New York took over on downs.
But Wilson was intercepted for the first time in four games when his pass floated into the hands of Ja’Whuan Bentley, giving the Patriots the ball at the Jets 40.
It appeared Jones gave it right back to the Jets when Michael Carter II intercepted him and returned it 84 yards for a touchdown — but it was wiped out by a roughing-the-passer call on John Franklin-Myers.
“JFM has to be better,” said Saleh, who added the officials explained the penalty was because the defensive end “hit him too hard.”
The Patriots ended up getting points on the drive and cutting the deficit to 10-6 on Folk’s 42-yarder as time expired in the half.
J-ROB’S DEBUT
Running back James Robinson, acquired from Jacksonville during the week to help replace injured rookie Breece Hall, made his Jets debut. He finished with 17 yards on five carries.
BRICK HONORED
The Jets inducted former left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson into their Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony.
Ferguson was a first-round pick in 2006 who made three Pro Bowls and never missed a practice or game during his 10-year NFL career.
INJURIES
Patriots WR DeVante Parker left in the first quarter with a knee injury.
UP NEXT
Patriots: Return home next Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts.
Jets: Home again to take on another AFC East rival in the first-place Buffalo Bills next Sunday.

And there goes the full-time whistle. Credit to Girona. They came with a game plan and executed it perfectly. Real were far, far from their best, but they were robbed of the win by the decision to award the visitors a penalty

REAL FAIL TO DELIVER AGAIN
Kroos has a free-kick around 30-yards out. It's not really within shooting range, so he lines up a cross instead, but it goes over everybody and out for a goal kick. THat pretty much sums up how poor Real have been going forward

Ross Chastain’s aggressive style hasn’t made a lot of friends in NASCAR’s top series. Now, he’ll be contending for a championship because of that approach.
Chastain pinned his Chevrolet against the outside wall of the 0.526-mile Martinsville Speedway and was sailing at some 70 mph faster than the rest of the field, careening from 10th place to fifth on the final lap to give Trackhouse Racing its first championship appearance.
Christopher Bell won his way into NASCAR’s championship race while Chastain used a move more suited for a video game to also advance in Sunday’s thrilling regular-season finale.
Chastain credited his video game playing for the dramatic move on the final lap.
“Oh, played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube with (younger brother) Chad growing up,” he said. “You can get away with it. I never knew if it would actually work.
“I mean, I did that when I was eight years old. I grabbed fifth gear, asked off of two on the last lap if we needed it, and we did. I couldn’t tell who was leading. I made the choice, grabbed fifth gear down the back. Full committed. Basically let go of the wheel, hoping I didn’t catch the turn four access gate or something crazy. But I was willing to do it.”
Bell had to win to advance to the final four next week at Phoenix Raceway and he pulled it off to give Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota one spot in the finale. Bell also won on the Charlotte Motor Speedway road course in the final race of the second round of the playoffs, so has now twice advanced with victories.
But this win was different.
“Man, I say it all the time, but the driver is just a small piece of the puzzle for these races,” Bell said. “The reason why this car won today is because it was the best car on the racetrack. Adam Stevens, Tyler William, this entire 20 group, they just never give up. When our back is against the wall, looks like it’s over, they show up and give me the fastest car out here.
“I don’t know, man. Words can’t describe this feeling.”
The final four drivers in the Cup Series winner-take-all finale are Bell, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Chastain, who bumped foe Denny Hamlin from the championship with his spectacular last-lap scramble.
Hamlin, while disappointed, was impressed.
“Great move. Brilliant. Certainly a great move,” he said of Chastain’s tactic. “When you have no other choice, it certainly is easy to do that. But well executed,” he said.
Bell passed Chase Briscoe, who also needed to win to advance to the championship, with five laps to go to earn the automatic berth into the championship race. It was Bell who was caught in Bubba Wallace’s retaliation of Kyle Larson at Las Vegas and Bell being collected in that crash dropped him to last of the eight drivers.
He knew since then it would take a victory for Bell to race for his first Cup title, and he pulled it off on NASCAR’s oldest track.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Soon after casting his vote in Brazil’s presidential election in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, incumbent Jair Bolsonaro was hoisting a silver trophy into the air alongside newly crowned soccer champions.
The far-right leader posed for cameras and snapped selfies with players from the local Flamengo team. On Saturday night, the team won the Copa Libertadores, South America’s most prestigious club soccer tournament. Flamengo is Brazil’s most popular club and won 1-0 against Athletico, of Parana state.
“Brazil champion! Brazil VICTORIOUS!” Fabio Wajngarten, one of the president’s campaign coordinators, wrote on Twitter when sharing the video. “The Brazil of Pr. Jair Bolsonaro!”
Bolsonaro also had lunch with some of Flamengo’s players, before returning to Brazil’s capital to watch election results.
It was the latest display of Bolsonaro basking in soccer teams’ reflected glory, and a highly visible election-day pit stop, amid an uphill battle against former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to secure a second term. Footballers’ involvement in campaigns can divide fans, especially those who are discomforted by brazen political positioning.
Bolsonaro – who resided in Rio after growing up in Sao Paulo state – was known as a fan of Sao Paulo-based Palmeiras and Botafogo in Rio. That changed after his election in 2018.
The president attends matches regularly, as da Silva did during his days in office. In a nation where hardcore soccer fans would never dream of donning another team’s jersey, Bolsonaro has shown no qualms about sporting dozens of different jerseys from top division teams. The only big exception is Sao Paulo FC, one of Palmeiras’ main rivals. Da Silva, a Corinthians fan, makes a point of rarely wearing another team’s jersey.
Bolsonaro has often shown favor for Flamengo, whose directors are outspoken boosters. Before his meeting on Sunday, several Flamengo players filmed themselves on their team bus expressing support for the incumbent by using their fingers to flash “22” – the number Brazilians must enter on electronic voting machines to cast their ballot for him.
Footballers in Brazil aren’t typically outspoken on politics. Most who have taken a public stand support Bolsonaro.
That includes star striker Neymar and defender Thiago Silva, both of whom are expected to join the country’s squad for the World Cup in Qatar. Former footballers Romário, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, as well as former national squad coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, have also endorsed Bolsonaro.
Brazil coach Tite said in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month that he will not travel to Brasilia to meet the president, regardless of the team’s World Cup finish. Tite will leave the job after the tournament.
The canary yellow jersey of Brazil’s national squad has been used as an anti-leftist symbol for nearly a decade; Bolsonaro and his supporters regularly wear them at rallies.
Neymar, an evangelical Christian who said he shares the president’s conservative values, is easily Bolsonaro’s most prominent supporter from Brazil’s hallowed soccer universe. He has campaigned for the president on his wildly popular social media channels, and posted videos of himself dancing while flashing the “22.”
Video of the Sunday meeting with Flamengo posted by the president’s allies doesn’t show the team’s top players, including strikers Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro. Midfielder Everton Ribeiro, a contender for a spot on the World Cup squad, previously expressed opposition to Bolsonaro and his policies.
Flamengo delayed its celebratory parade due to the election, in light of a request from the nation’s electoral authority.

LONDON (AP) — The Broncos offense has stalled all season so expectations were low when a punt left them on their 2-yard line, trailing the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
Embattled quarterback Russell Wilson delivered a message in the huddle.
“I told the guys ’hey listen we’re going to go 98 yards right here. Believe in it,” Wilson said. “Every season I’ve ever played, you’ve got to catch momentum. There’s a moment in time where it clicks.”
Melvin Gordon scored on that drive early in the second half, and Latavius Murray took it in from 2 yards late in the fourth quarter to help the Broncos snap a four-game losing streak by beating the Jaguars 21-17 on Sunday.
Wilson led two go-ahead scoring drives in the second half on his return from a hamstring injury. He finished 18 for 30 for 252 yards with a touchdown and interception.
Wilson looked rusty early, but connected on a 47-yard completion to KJ Hamler after the Broncos fell behind 17-14 on Travis Etienne’s 1-yard touchdown run with 3:54 to play. Wilson then scrambled for 10 yards on a third-and-5 to get to the Jacksonville 28.
The late score gave Murray a touchdown for two different teams this month in London. He ran for a score for New Orleans earlier in October at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Broncos (3-5) erased a 10-point deficit on Jerry Jeudy’s 6-yard touchdown reception in the first half and Gordon’s 1-yard run to complete the 98-yard scoring drive. On the long drive, Wilson connected three times with rookie tight end Greg Dulcich, including a 38-yard completion to the 1. Gordon then ran it in to give the Broncos a 14-10 lead.
Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett, who has come under criticism in his first year on the job, credited Wilson for shaking off the slow start.
“You learn a lot about a quarterback when they throw a pick,” Hackett said. “He got it out of the way early. He was able to rebound and come back.”
The announced attendance of 86,215 is the largest crowd in the history of NFL international games.
The Jaguars (2-6) lost their fifth consecutive game despite a career day from Etienne, who carried 24 times for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Etienne scored on a 1-yard plunge to give Jacksonville a 17-14 lead with 3:54 to play.
After Murray’s touchdown with 1:43 remaining, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw an interception to K’Waun Williams at the Jacksonville 35.
Lawrence had a costly red zone interception on a first-and-goal from the 1 in the first half. Lawrence was 18 for 31 for 133 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
“I’ve got to look in the mirror. I’ve got to play better,” Lawrence said.
Jags coach Doug Pederson said he didn’t regret calling the pass near the goal line.
“It’s a relatively safe play. If it’s not there, and Trevor knows this, just throw the ball (away), just sail the ball and you’ve got two to three more downs to do whatever you want to do there.”
Wilson missed last week’s game because of a strained hamstring and threw an interception on his second pass.
The Broncos didn’t get their first first down until almost midway through the second quarter.
The Jags had opened the scoring when Lawrence found Evan Engram for a 22-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.
SEEING RED
The Jags had another costly red zone turnover for the second consecutive week. Last week, Etienne fumbled into the end zone in the 23-17 loss to the New York Giants. It was Lawrence’s turn this week. Broncos safety Justin Simmons reached up and snatched the ball out of the air at the goal line with Jacksonville leading 7-0.
“I saw him rolling out. I’m hoping maybe there’s a chance I can bat the ball,” Simmons said, doing even better by pulling the ball down for a crucial turnover.
FLAG FOOTBALL
The Broncos amassed 10 penalties for 71 yards in the first half, handing the Jags extra opportunities on offense. Simmons was whistled for taunting after a tackle on JaMycal Hasty but later in the drive he intercepted Lawrence for a touchback. The Broncos finished with 12 penalties for 81 yards.
“We’ve got to get that out of the game. We can’t do that,” Hackett said.
INJURIES
Jaguars return specialist Jamal Agnew was inactive for a second week in a row because of a knee injury. Jags safety Rayshawn Jenkins stayed down after tackling Jeudy in second quarter. Broncos center Lloyd Cushenberry III (hip) went down on Denver’s final drive of first half and was ruled out. Graham Glasgow replaced him.
UP NEXT
Broncos: Bye week and then at Tennessee on Nov. 13.
Jaguars: Host the Las Vegas Raiders next Sunday. They’re at Kansas City the following week before their bye.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A.J. Brown hauled in his third touchdown catch — of the first half — and the Eagles’ star receiver peered through his tinted visor at two Steelers defenders knocked to the turf because of a slapstick collision on a futile attempt at breaking up the pass.
Brown then pointed at each fallen Steeler and mocked them as the Philly crowd roared — and he was hit with a taunting penalty.
Well worth the 15 yards for a little fun.
“I just said, ‘One, two, it’s not enough,’” Brown said with a laugh.
Three TDs were pretty good for Brown. So was taking the Eagles to seven, as in 7-0 and the lone undefeated team in the NFL.
Hurts threw three touchdown passes to Brown in the first half and finished with 285 yards and four TDs overall as Philadelphia raced past Pittsburgh 35-13 on Sunday.
Brown had six receptions for 156 yards and helped the Eagles win their first seven games for only the second time in franchise history and first since 2004, when Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens led them to the Super Bowl. In that season, the Eagles were denied an 8-0 start with a loss to the Steelers.
Pittsburgh (2-6) offered no resistance this time once Hurts and Brown turned the Linc into their own pitch-and-catch playground.
“I know I can’t let him down,” Brown said. “We’re just having fun and playing for one another. I’m pretty sure he knows that I’ve got his back and I know he’s got mine, too. I think that’s exactly what this is.”
Rookie Kenny Pickett showed more short-term growing pains for the Steelers and was 25 of 38 for 191 yards and an interception. Wide receiver Chase Claypool threw a 1-yard pass to fullback Derek Watt on a trick play in the first quarter for Pittsburgh’s only touchdown.
“We need more explosive plays,” Pickett said.
The World Series banner went up across the street outside Citizens Bank Park — the Phillies and Houston Astros are 1-1 headed into Game 3 Monday in Philly — and it’s suddenly the point in the NFL season where it’s time to stamp the Eagles as Super Bowl favorites.
These are intoxicating times for Philly sports fans and Brown became the latest star to deliver them a few more memorable October moments.
Make it three in the first half.
Brown might still be scoring and taunting in Tennessee had the Titans not felt in the spring his asking price for an extension was too high. Once Titans decided they didn’t want to pay Brown, he was traded during the draft. The Eagles gave him a $100 million, four-year contract with $57 million guaranteed upon completing the trade.
No buyer’s remorse yet.
Brown became the first receiver since Tennessee’s Drew Bennett in 2004 with three receiving touchdowns of 25-plus yards in the first half. Hurts hit Brown from 39 yards, 27 and 29 yards for a 21-10 halftime lead.
Brown made an over-the-shoulder grab in the end zone for the third score as Pittsburgh defenders Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ahkello Witherspoon collided with each other. Brown then might have made Owens proud with the type of celebration once seen out of the retired receiver.
Their first TD might have been the most impressive. Brown went up to catch the 39-yard heave and won a battle for the ball with Fitzpatrick, who pounded the turf in frustration.
Hurts caught Brown in stride for the second touchdown as the speedy receiver outran cornerback Arthur Maulet.
Brown had his best game in his short Eagles tenure, topping the 155 yards he had in the season opener against Detroit. He had only two touchdowns entering the game.
One knock on the Eagles this season was their second-half slowdowns. They had scored only four second-half touchdowns and were shut out after halftime against Minnesota and Washington.
Hurts waved off those concerns when threw a 39-yard TD pass to Zach Pascal in the third for a 28-10 lead.
“They were making those plays and we did not,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “We have to own it.”
The only player with more than four TD passes of 25-plus yards or more in a single game since 1980 was Hall of Famer Dan Marino, who had five in Week 1 of 1994 against the Patriots.
“Those are the types of guys that reach his ceiling,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said of Hurts. “I don’t know if we know what his ceiling is going to be.”
Hurts almost matched Marino in the fourth quarter, but Brown was tripped up at the 11 on a 43-yard pass. No worries. Miles Sanders rushed for the touchdown and a 35-13 lead on the next play.
With a short week ahead, Eagles starters got a rest and center Jason Kelce playfully wore a Batman mask on the sideline in a nod to the superhero nicknames assigned to their wide receivers. Brown is “Swole Batman.”
“We were out there doing celebrations and everything,” Brown said. “It’s fun. There’s nothing like it.”
SAY A PRAYER
Among the Eagles inactives: Book, Jobe and Sermon. Make that QB Ian Book, RB Trey Sermon and CB Josh Jobe.
INJURIES
Nick Sciba kicked field goals of 38 and 29 yards for the Steelers in place of injured Chris Boswell (groin).
Eagles DT Jordan Davis suffered an ankle injury.
UP NEXT
The Steelers have a bye before hosting New Orleans on Nov. 13.
The Eagles play at Houston on Thursday night for what could be the start of a crowded Philly sports week in Texas. Games 6 and 7 (if necessary) of the World Series are set for Friday and Saturday in Houston.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Dustin Johnson watched the final putt of his season roll in, pumped his right fist and waited for the party to begin.
Another big celebration. Another big check, too.
Johnson drove the green on the 370-yard par-4 16th to set up an easy birdie that provided a bit of breathing room, Patrick Reed birdied his last hole to put their squad ahead for good and 4Aces GC captured the season-ending LIV Golf team championship at Trump National Doral on Sunday by one shot over Cameron Smith and Punch GC.
The victory capped a monster earnings year for Johnson, by far the biggest money winner in the first year of the Saudi-backed LIV tour. Including his $18 million for winning the season-long individual title, Johnson finished with $35,637,767 in earnings.
“It’s been amazing,” Johnson said. “Obviously, the fans (are) what makes it. This week’s been incredible. This whole season has gotten better and better and obviously this finale has been unbelievable.”
Johnson (70), Reed (70), Talor Gooch (71) and Pat Perez (70) shot a combined 7 under 281 on the par-72 Sunday — and split $16 million.
“I feel unbelievable,” Perez said.
Reed felt even better, making birdie on his final hole to give Johnson a one-shot lead to work with. Johnson was on the par-4 18th green in two when Reed finished, while Smith — the other player in Johnson’s twosome — was needing a miracle that didn’t arrive. Reed’s birdie gave his team the lead, and two putts from Johnson later, it was over.
“Makes me feel great,” Reed said.
Johnson wound up claiming 14% of the $255 million in purses and bonuses won by all players in LIV’s inaugural year, not including signing bonuses, which were massive and reported to be around $200 million for Phil Mickelson, and at least $100 million apiece for players like Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.
Smith (65), Matt Jones (70), Wade Ormsby (73) and Marc Leishman (74) finished at 6 under, splitting $8 million.
“I think LIV Golf is going to be bigger and better because of this event,” Smith said.
Smash GC — Koepka (74), Peter Uihlein (75), Jason Kokrak (68) and Chase Koepka (75) — ended 4 over and split $6 million.
Stinger GC, the team of Louis Oosthuizen (71), Charl Schwartzel (71), Hennie du Plessis (76) and Branden Grace (80), finished at 10 over and split $4 million.
“Coming down the stretch here, you couldn’t draw it up any better with me and Cam battling it out to win the team championship,” Johnson said.
The payouts next year, when LIV grows from eight to 14 events, will reach $405 million — provided by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. And if more players join LIV in the coming months, there will be more signing bonuses, too.
“Next year we’re going to play 14 events, plus … the majors,” Mickelson said during the LIV Golf broadcast on YouTube, doing the knock-on-wood-for-luck move before saying “the majors.” “And that’s a lot of golf. I’ve got a lot of golf coming up next year and I really want to get back to the level that I know I can play.”
The majors remain in some question since much of the qualifying process for them revolves around world rankings. For now, LIV players don’t get points toward their Official World Golf Ranking. They’ve been trying to change that.
All 16 of the players who competed Sunday finished their LIV year with more than $2 million in earnings, though most of them received much more.
Perez made just over $8 million in seven LIV events, which is more than he had in his last five years on the PGA Tour combined.
Uihlein, who never won on the PGA Tour, finished his LIV season with just over $12.5 million in seven events. That more than doubled his career earnings in 10 years as a pro.
“We’ve had a lot of headwinds,” LIV CEO and commissioner Greg Norman said on the streamed broadcast prior to the start of the final round. “We’ve weathered all the storms, and we’re here. We’ve got a great crew of people and we’ve got a great product and we’re off and running.”

CLASSFICATION:
VER, HAM, PER, RUS, SAI, LEC, RIC, OCO, NOR, BOT.
Ricciardo will hold on to his P7 despite his 10 second penalty.
LAP 71/71 - VERSTAPPEN WINS THE MEXICAN GRAND PRIX
A stunning victory for Verstappen, who drove with ease during this second stint to secure another win. His 14th of the season - which is a new record! Hamilton is 15s down the road in P2, and Perez also finishes on the podium in P3.
LAP 70/71 - RUSSELL PITS FOR SOFTS
Russell, who was over 20 seconds ahead of Sainz, has accepted that he will not catch Perez ahead of him, and has convinced the team to pit for a set of scrub softs to go for the fastest lap of the race for that extra championship point.
LAP 68/71 - VERSTAPPEN HAS EXTENDED GAP FURTHER
The VSC is over, and it seems that the Red Bull strategists deserve a raise for how they have executed this perfect second stint for both drivers. They seem set to secure 1st and 3rd in this race, and Hamilton is now 14s behind Verstappen with three laps remaining.
Russell, who claims he was close to a puncture, demands to box for a set of softs, but his engineer tells him to stay out.
LAP 65/71 - ALONSO RETIRES THE CAR
Alonso pulls off into the run off area into Turn 1 with an engine issue, and the Virtual Safety Car is deployed. This will mean drivers will have to stick to a set delta time. The period of the VSC may not last long as Alonso was well clear of the track.
LAP 62/71 - TEN LAPS TO GO
Ricciardo is really pushing on his soft tyres after being handed the penalty. He is up to P7 on the track after getting past both Alpines. He now has some clear air and let's see if he can pull put a gap.
Meanwhile, at the front, it is as you were and the longer the race goes on, the more you feel that the Red Bull cars will get to the end of the race on this set of tyres.
LAP 58/71 - VERSTAPPEN STILL AHEAD BY 12s
Verstappen still leads, and has had a fairly comfortable race so far but Mercedes are still playing the waiting game to see when or if the Red Bull cars will pit for a new set of soft tyres.
LAP 55/71 - RICCIARDO IS PUNISHED
For that crash with Tsunoda, Daniel Ricciardo has been slapped with a ten second penalty. That will signal the end of his attempt to salvage some points from this race.
LAP 54/71
LAP 51/71 - CONTACT!
Ricciardo spots the smallest of gaps on the inside of Turn 6 trying to get past Tsunoda, and there isn't enough space and he hits the AlphaTauri! Tsunoda's car is airborne for a few seconds, and there is damage on the sidepod and the right-rear suspension. Unfortunately, he will have to retire the car.
LAP 48/71 - VERSTAPPEN HAS EXTENDED GAP
It seems that the medium tyres are working well for the Red Bull team as Verstappen has extended the gap over Hamilton to 10 seconds. However, give it ten or so more laps and the situation will become race defining. Russell's engineer has just come on the radio to notify him that Perez will need to stop again.
LAP 43/71 - BOTH MERCEDES DRIVERS COMPLAINING!
Both Russell and Hamilton have come onto the radio to report lack of grip with their harder compound tyres. This raises the question whether the pair of them will opt to ditch the current strategy and box for a set of softs until the end of the race. For Hamilton, doing that may completely rule out any chances of fighting for the victory.
LAP 42/71 - GREAT OVERTAKE!
That is the best overtake of the race so far! Ocon, who has DRS down the main straight, gets past Bottas into Turn 1 around the outside of the corner! That is a brilliant move and he is up to P10.
LAP 39/71 - VERSTAPPEN LEADS BY 8s
Verstappen, who remains out in front, is now eight seconds ahead of Hamilton. Both himself and his team-mate, Perez, are still on the mediums. The question is how long can they make the tyre last, as if not, they will have to stop again. That will play into Mercedes' hands.
LAP 34/71 - RUSSELL PITS
Russell comes in from the lead after extending his first stint. He fits a set of hards, and he should be able to get to the end of the race, and if Perez is two-stopping, it might work in his favour. He emerges back out in P4, seven seconds behind Perez.
LAP 33/71 - RUSSELL STAYING OUT ON HIS MEDIUMS
LAP 30/71 - HAMILTON PITS FOR HARDS!
Hamilton has opted to come in from the lead and ditch his mediums for a fresh set of hards, which suggests that he is going for the one-stop strategy. He comes back out in P3, and crucially, ahead of Perez in the sister Red Bull. Let's see just how long it takes for the harder compound to get up to temperature.
LAP 29/71 - LECLERC PITS
The Ferrari has come in for a set of medium tyres and rejoins in P11.
LAP 25/71 - VERSTAPPEN PITS!
The race leader is finally in for his stop as the Red Bull mechanics fit a set of medium tyres. He emerges back out in front of the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, and now he is a whole pit stop ahead of the Prancing Horses. The Dutchman is in P3.
LAP 23/71 - PEREZ BLINKS FIRST AND COMES INTO THE PITS
After reporting of issues with his front left, it was expected that Verstappen would come in at the end of this lap, but instead the Red Bull mechanics are out for his team-mate as Perez pits for a set of mediums from P3. He is back out in 6th.
However, it is a slow stop for the Mexican, as he was stationery for a good five seconds!
LAP 21/71 - VERSTAPPEN NOW STRUGGLING WITH TYRES
George Russell's engineer Riccardo Mosconi has come on the radio to tell him that Verstappen may be pitting very soon as his lap times have started to drop off on his worn softs. Expect Red Bull to react, especially as Verstappen himself has backed that claim up by reporting to his engineer that he is struggling.
LAP 19/71 - VERSTAPPEN PUTTING THE HAMMER DOWN
Verstappen has responded to being told to push. He has now pulled the gap out over Hamilton to 2.3s. The Red Bull driver must be gearing up for an imminent pit stop as his soft tyres will be close to falling off with this current pace.
LAP 15/71 - HAMILTON MAINTAINING THE PACE IN P2
Hamilton, who is now 1.8s behind Verstappen out in front, is maintaining the gap to the race leader very well and is hanging in there. If Verstappen is forced to pit in the next five laps for new tyres, this could play into Hamilton's hands as he remains on the medium tyre. Verstappen has been told to respond by his engineer Gianpiero Lambiase and he may be trying to push to pull out a gap so that Hamilton no longer has a tow down the straights.
LAP 13/71 - GASLY FORCES STROLL WIDE
Gasly, who is in P16, tries to get the position on Stroll's Aston Martin into Turn 4, but he forces the Canadian wide and off the race track despite gaining the place. The stewards have decided to give him a five second time penalty, to be served at the next pit stop.
LAP 12/71 - REWIND!
Take a look at how the start of the Grand Prix panned out!
LAP 9/71 - RICCIARDO UP INTO P12
Daniel Ricciardo finally manages to get the job done on Zhou Guanyu and he uses the DRS to full effect to get past the Alfa Romeo into the first corner. He moves up into P12, and Yuki Tsunoda is two seconds up the road in 11th.
LAP 7/71 - VERSTAPPEN LEADS HAMILTON BY 1.2s
After his initial quick getaway, Verstappen will now have to nurse his soft tyres to avoid them falling off the cliff too soon. Hamilton is now lapping quicker than the leader, and has recently recorded the quickest second sector time of anybody on the track.
LAP 5/71 - DRS ENABLED
The DRS has now been enabled, and Bottas, who is in P8, is clearly quicker than the Alpine of Alonso ahead of him and has a look into Turn 1 after using the rear wing flap, but he cannot get the move done.
LAP 2/71 - VERSTAPPEN OUT IN FRONT
Verstappen has got his foot down and has already pulled a gap of 1.3 seconds ahead of Hamilton! It seems that Russell lost time after taking too much of the inside curb into the third corner!
Classification: VER, HAM, PER, RUS, SAI, LEC, ALO, BOT, OCO, NOR.
LAP 1/71 - LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO!
We are underway here at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez! The five lights go out as the drivers take the long straight on the run down to the first corner! Verstappen gets the better start and leads! Hamilton manages to squeeze past his team-mate into turn 2 and he gets it done! Perez eventually gets past Russell into Turn 3 and is into third! There looked to be contact between the Mercedes and Red Bull!
FORMATION LAP IS UNDERWAY!
One lap until the five lights go out! The drivers take their warm-up tour of the circuit before the real thing.
There is a mix of starting tyre choices up and down the grid. Verstappen starts on used softs, whereas both Mercedes cars have a fresh set of mediums fitted.
PROBLEMS FOR MAGNUSSEN AND HAAS
There are issues with Kevin Magnussen's rear-right wheel, which has had to have some mechanical intervention before the start of the race on the grid. Hopefully the Haas team has the problem sorted otherwise he will be forced to start the race from the pit lane.
NATIONAL ANTHEM IS UNDERWAY
The drivers are at the front of the grid as we observe the Mexican national anthem. Not long to go until the drivers are on their formation laps.
GRANDSTANDS ARE PACKED!
The stands are packed to the rafters at the circuit for this race!
CAN CHECO SEAL A HISTORIC WIN?
The home favourite, Sergio Perez, starts this Mexican Grand Prix from the second row of the grid. It could be a tall order, but can the Guadalajara-born star secure a historic victory in his home country this afternoon?
GOOD EVENING!
Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live text updates of the Mexican Grand Prix from Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. We are all set for a fascinating battle out at the front, as Mercedes' pace in qualifying yesterday showcased their speed around this high-altitude circuit. Lewis Hamilton starts 3rd, and George Russell starts from 2nd.
Max Verstappen, who is looking for his 14th win of the season, starts from pole position, with his team-mate and home favourite Sergio Perez in 4th. The Ferraris of Sainz and Leclerc start in 5th and 7th respectively.

ATLANTA (AP) — D.J. Moore hauled in a last-minute touchdown pass but ripped off his helmet, Carolina’s Eddy Piñeiro missed a pair of potential winning kicks, and the Atlanta Falcons escaped with a victory that was as improbable as their spot in the standings.
First place.
Younghoe Koo booted a 41-yard field goal in overtime after a silly penalty by Moore opened the door for the Falcons to pull off a 37-34 victory Sunday that maintained their hold on the NFC South lead.
“Our guys don’t blink,” said Marcus Mariota, who got a chance on his 29th birthday to make up for an interception that could’ve — should’ve, really — sent his team to a loss.
It will surely be the favorite gift he gets this year.
The teams combined for three touchdowns in the final 3:06 of regulation. But it looked like the Panthers would prevail in stunning fashion when Moore hauled in a 62-yard scoring heave from P.J. Walker with 12 seconds remaining, tying the game at 34 with only an extra point needed to win it.
But Moore yanked off his helmet during a raucous celebration in the end zone, resulting in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
“I’ve got to understand that there’s still time on the clock,” Moore said. “It was a natural reaction, but you’ve still got to know you can’t do that.”
Moore’s blunder pushed back the PAT to a 48-yard attempt, and Piñeiro pulled it left of the upright.
Carolina had another chance to win in OT after C.J. Henderson returned an interception 54 yards to the Falcons 20. But Piñeiro botched another kick, yanking a wobbler left again from 32 yards out — shorter than a regular extra point.
“I just missed the kick,” Piñeiro said. “I’ve got to make the kick. It hurts. You know, I love this team and I know they’ve got my back and I know it’s not going to define me as a kicker. Everybody misses kicks. Unfortunately mine was today.”
Piñeiro and the Panthers wouldn’t get a third shot.
Mariota, who threw three touchdown passes, ripped off a 30-yard run for the Falcons (4-4) that set up Koo’s game-winner with 1:55 left in the extra period.
“He’s a resilient guy,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said when asked about Mariota’s big run. “That’s why we believe in Marcus. There’s not many guys who can make that play.”
Koo was carried off the field on the shoulders of his teammates. Moore — who finished with six catches for 152 yards — sat alone on the bench, staring in disbelief at a celebration that surely would’ve belonged to the Panthers (2-6) if he had merely kept his headgear buckled up.
“What would’ve happened if I didn’t take my helmet off?” Moore pondered to himself.
The Panthers had a chance to create a four-team logjam in the NFC South. Instead, the Falcons have the lead all to themselves with a .500 record.
Mariota was 20 of 28 for 253 yards with a pair of interceptions, his first coming on the second play of the game.
But he was awfully good between those picks, completing 12 straight passes at one point.
In the end, Mariota used his legs to burst from the pocket, veer toward the sideline and finish off the big run that would finally end the game.
The Panthers wasted a three-touchdown performance by D’Onta Foreman, a career best from a guy who filled in brilliantly for injured running back Chuba Hubbard.
Foreman, who had 118 yards on 26 carries, scored the last of his touchdowns on a 12-yard run with 3:06 to go, pushing the Panthers to a 31-28 lead.
Mariota and the Falcons needed less than a minute to go back in front. Damiere Byrd hauled in a pass around the 32, looped across the field and found a lane for a 47-yard TD with 2:14 on the clock.
The Panthers went out on downs, and the Falcons padded the lead on Koo’s 36-yard field goal with 34 seconds remaining.
Enough time, it turned out, for the Panthers to score a touchdown. Moore ran right by Dean Marlowe, taking a more prominent role in the Falcons’ injury-depleted secondary, and hauled in Walker’s impressive heave for what appeared to be the winning score.
PANTHERS QBS
Walker got his third straight start for the Panthers, with former starter Baker Mayfield as his backup. He probably did enough to hang on to the job for another week.
Walker was 19 of 36 for a career-best 317 yards, with an interception under pressure that Lorenzo Carter returned for an Atlanta touchdown and that long scoring pass to Moore.
INJURY REPORT
Panthers: S Juston Burris went out with a concussion. … CB Donte Jackson sustained an ankle injury late in the game.
Falcons: Already short-handed in the secondary, Atlanta got a scare when cornerback Cornell Armstrong wobbled off the field midway through the third quarter. But he missed only a couple of plays before returning.
UP NEXT
Panthers: Hit the road again next Sunday to face the Cincinnati Bengals.
Falcons: Host the Los Angeles Chargers next Sunday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cristian “Chicho” Arango scored the go-ahead goal for the second straight game and the Los Angeles Football Club advanced to its first MLS Cup final with a 3-0 victory over Austin FC on Sunday.
LAFC — which won the Supporters Shield as the top team in the regular season — will host the winner of Sunday night’s Eastern Conference final between NYCFC-Philadelphia Union on Saturday afternoon.
In the second half, Maximiliano Urruti scored an own goal and substitute Kwadwo Opoku added a score in the late stages.
It’s just the second time in the last 10 years that the winner of the Supporters Shield made the MLS Cup final.
Arango headed in a crossing pass from Carlos Vela on a corner kick in the 29th minute to put LAFC on top.
The forward has scored in 26 of the 52 MLS games he has played since making his debut in August of last season. He is an MVP finalist after scoring 30 regular-season goals.
After Urruti’s own goal in the 62nd minute, Opoku took advantage of a turnover and put a left-footed shot past Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver.
LAFC has won 11 of its last 12 matches (including the postseason) at home.
Austin FC finished in second place in its second season in MLS and had a 16-10-8 record during the regular season.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Max Verstappen set the Formula One record for wins in a season Sunday at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where he scored his 14th victory to break the record shared with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
Schumacher set the record in 2004, Vettel tied it in 2013 and Verstappen was tied with the Germans for all of one week following his victory last week at Circuit of the Americas. Paired with wins at Miami, Montreal and now Mexico City, Verstappen swept the North American portion of this year’s F1 schedule.
The Dutchman retained his F1 world championship with four races remaining in the season, clinched the constructors championship for Red Bull with three races remaining in the season, and has two races left to thoroughly demolish the wins-in-a-season record.
Red Bull has now won nine consecutive races, tying the team record set in 2013. The team has won 16 of 21 F1 races this season with Verstappen and Sergio Perez, winner at Monaco and Singapore.
Lewis Hamilton finished second for the second consecutive week. He might have had a shot at his first win of the season but Mercedes made the wrong call on a tire change that gave Verstappen control.
Perez finished third on his home track for the second consecutive year — earning deafening cheers even though a Mexican driver has yet to win at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Perez has been mobbed by adoring fans all week in his return. It began with a demonstration run in his hometown of Guadalajara before he arrived at the circuit, where Perez has been swarmed by crowds as soon as he enters the paddock.
He had to use a back route to get to the Red Bull garage each on-track session as drivers and teams complained most of the weekend that the spectators who had purchased paddock access were too aggressive.
But the fans love their native driver and, before the race, Perez took a ride around the track on the back of a convertible Volkswagen. He often held his hand to his heart to show his appreciation to the 120,000-plus fans.
“It’s been incredible, honestly,” Perez told the crowd in Spanish after the race. “Thank you for all the support you’ve given me this weekend. You’re incredible, the best fan base. Thank you.”
The three-day weekend sold out in two minutes earlier this year, and the three-day crowd of 395,902 broke the mark set last year of 371,779. F1 also said ahead of the race that it had extended its contract with the race — often voted most popular among fans — through 2025.
The day belonged to Verstappen, who started from the pole and won for the 34th time in his career. He held the lead at the start as Hamilton passed teammate George Russell for second and Perez also made it past Russell.
Hamilton might have raced for the win and was the leader when he pitted and Mercedes chose the harder, more durable tire compound. Verstappen had a softer and faster tire and Hamilton lacked the speed to challenge for the victory.
Hamilton has two more chances to avoid the first winless season of his career.
Pierre Gassly, meanwhile, earned another two penalty points for running Lance Stroll wide off track and the Frenchman is now one penalty point away from a one-race suspension.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey became the 11th player in NFL history with a rushing touchdown, a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in one game, and the San Francisco 49ers extended their regular-season mastery over the Rams to four full years with a 31-14 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday.
McCaffrey threw a 34-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk in the first half, caught a TD pass from Jimmy Garoppolo in the third quarter and then put the Niners (4-4) in control with a TD run early in the fourth.
Garoppolo passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns as San Francisco scored 24 unanswered points to finish its eighth consecutive regular-season victory over its NFC West rivals.
McCaffrey finished with 94 yards rushing and 55 yards receiving. LaDainian Tomlinson was the last player with rushing, passing and receiving TDs in the same game, doing it for San Diego back in 2005.
The 49ers outbid the Rams (3-4) last week in a trade for McCaffrey’s services, and the versatile running back showed Los Angeles exactly what it missed. The Rams actually were burned by McCaffrey for the second straight game, since he piled up 158 total yards for the Panthers during the Rams’ win over Carolina in LA’s final game before its bye.
After trailing 14-10 at halftime despite McCaffrey’s 34-yard TD pass, the 49ers reclaimed the lead late in the third quarter with an 88-yard drive capped by McCaffrey’s artful TD catch down the sideline. McCaffrey then made a 24-yard run followed by a 1-yard score with 12:07 to play, and George Kittle made a late TD catch to seal the Niners’ latest humiliation of the Rams despite the injury absence of star Deebo Samuel.
Los Angeles narrowly beat San Francisco in the NFC championship game at SoFi Stadium exactly nine months ago, but the Niners have won every other meeting since 2018.
Matthew Stafford passed for 187 yards and scored his first rushing touchdown since 2016 for the defending Super Bowl champion Rams (3-4), who are under .500 for the third time — all occurring this season — in coach Sean McVay’s career. Los Angeles managed 43 net yards in the second half while getting shut out after halftime for the third time already this season.
McVay has lost nine of his 13 matchups with Kyle Shanahan, his former co-worker in Washington, since they got their current jobs one month apart in 2017. Shanahan got nearly 21% of his 43 career regular-season victories when coaching against McVay.
Cooper Kupp had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown, but the Rams All-Pro left the field gingerly after an awkward tackle with 1:02 to play.
The Rams scored first when Stafford’s 1-yard run capped a 17-play, 88-yard drive consuming 9:21.
The Niners tied it a few minutes later on McCaffrey’s TD pass off a fake screen. Samuel threw a TD pass against the Rams last season.
INJURIES
Four key starters were inactive for the Niners: Samuel, DT Arik Armstead, FB Kyle Juszczyk and LB Dre Greenlaw.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee injured his neck while making a catch in the first quarter, but returned in the second. He made an egregious drop in the fourth quarter. … WR Van Jefferson was not targeted in his season debut after having knee surgery early in training camp.
UP NEXT
49ers: Bye week.
Rams: At Buccaneers on Sunday.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State President Samuel Stanley publicly apologized Sunday for a “violent” skirmish in which Spartans football players appeared to attack Michigan players in a stadium tunnel after losing to the rival Wolverines.
“I’m extremely saddened by this incident and the unacceptable behavior depicted by members of our football program,” Stanley said in a statement. adding that those involved would be held responsible by coach Mel Tucker. “On behalf of Michigan State University, my heartfelt apology to the University of Michigan and the student athletes who were injured.
“There is no provocation that could justify the behavior we are seeing on the videos. Rivalries can be intense but should never be violent.”
The scuffle broke out in the Michigan Stadium tunnel after fourth-ranked Wolverines beat the Spartans 29-7 Saturday night. Social media posts showed at least three Michigan State players pushing, punching and kicking Michigan’s Ja’Den McBurrows in and near a hallway that doesn’t lead to either locker room.
McBurrows and defensive back Gemon Green went up the tunnel, walking alongside the Spartans, after the game while much of Michigan’s team was waving them off the field after beating their in-state rivals for the first time in three years.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Saturday night that one of the players, who he did not identify, might have a broken nose. A social media post on Sunday showed a Wolverine, who appears to be Green, getting roughed up by Spartans.
Green, in another post, is surrounded by police while shouting across the tunnel at Michigan State players.
“Two of our players were assaulted,” Harbaugh said. “I saw on the one video. 10 on one. It was pretty bad. It needs to be investigated.”
Tucker said in a tweet Sunday that his program will cooperate with law enforcement and the Big Ten in any investigation.
“As Spartans, our program has a responsibility to uphold the highest level of sportsmanship. While emotions were very high at the conclusion of our rivalry game at Michigan Stadium, there is no excuse for behavior that puts our team or our opponents at risk,” Tucker said. “In complete cooperation with law enforcement, the Big Ten Conference and MSU and UM leadership, we will evaluate the events in Ann Arbor and take swift and appropriate action.”
University of Michigan Deputy Police Chief Melissa Overton said an investigation is underway in partnership with Michigan State police, and Michigan’s athletic department and football program.
“The investigation takes some time,” Overton said Sunday.
Stanley said the university will be cooperating with all related investigations by law enforcement and the Big Ten.
The Big Ten said in a statement: “The conference is currently gathering information, will thoroughly review the facts, and will take appropriate action.”
As Tucker walked off the field and entered the tunnel at some point Saturday night, a fan appeared to touch his head and the coach responded by swiping the fan’s hand away.
It was the second straight game at Michigan that included an altercation in the long, narrow tunnel that goes from the locker rooms to the field.
Earlier this month, Penn State coach James Franklin said a policy change was needed to provide a more orderly use of the tunnel.
Some heated words were exchanged, and Michigan players said Penn State players threw peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at them as the teams headed to the locker room at halftime of a close game the Wolverines ultimately won in a 41-17 rout on Oct. 15.
Harbaugh said Franklin acted as a “ringleader” and claimed the Nittany Lions stopped in the tunnel to prevent his team from accessing its locker room.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and other members of the sports world are condemning recent incidents of hate speech toward Jewish people — not just the antisemitic comments by the music mogul formerly known as Kanye West, but also outside of a college football game in Florida on Saturday night.
A day after the NBA and Brooklyn Nets issued disapproving statements in response to Kyrie Irving’s apparent support for an antisemitic film, other team executives and athletes are speaking out against hatred and intolerance, on and off the field.
At some point during the football game between Florida and Georgia on Saturday night, the phrase “Kanye is right about the jews” was projected on the outside of one of the end zones at the TIAA Bank Field stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a reference to recent antisemitic comments that Ye has made on social media and in interviews — comments that have led to him losing partnerships with Adidas and several other companies.
The University of Florida and University of Georgia issued a joint statement Sunday morning condemning the hate speech on the stadium and “the other anti-Semitic messages that have appeared in Jacksonville.” The schools also said they “together denounce these and all acts of anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred and intolerance. We are proud to be home to strong and thriving Jewish communities at UGA and UF, and we stand together against hate.”
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry said on social media his northeast Florida city is “made better because of its diversity. Those who spread messages of hate, racism and antisemitism will not be able to change the heart of this city or her people. I condemn these cowards and their cowardly messages.”
And Shad Khan, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who play in the TIAA Bank Field stadium, said on social media that he was “personally dismayed” by the rhetoric, calling it, “hurtful and wrong.”
“It has to stop. I’m asking everyone to make it their mission to end the ignorance and hate,” Khan said. “Let’s be better.”
Last year, the Anti-Defamation League recorded 2,717 incidents of harassment, vandalism or violence targeting Jews — the highest annual total since it began tracking these incidents in 1979. The recent antisemitic incidents come four years after the deadliest attack on American Jews, when 11 people were killed at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, and just days before the contentious midterm elections throughout the U.S.
A nonprofit founded by Kraft took the extra step of planning to air an ad during the Patriots-New York Jets game on Sunday that condemned anti-Jewish hate speech and encouraged people who are not Jewish to speak up against antisemitism.
“Recently many of you have spoken up,” the 30-second ad from Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism said. “We hear you today. We must hear you tomorrow. There are less than 8 million Jewish people in this country. Fewer than are watching this ad. They need you to add your voice.”
The ad, which was scheduled to air during the first quarter of the game, ends with the hashtag: #StandUptoJewishHate.
“I have committed tremendous resources toward this effort and am vowing to do more,” Kraft said in a statement. “I encourage others to join in these efforts. My hope is this commercial will continue to enhance the national conversation about the need to speak out against hatred of all types, and particularly to stand up to Jewish hate.”
Also this week, Nets owner Joe Tsai said he was disappointed by Irving, a seven-time All-Star who appeared to support a film Tsai said was “based on a book full of antisemitic disinformation” when he posted a link for the film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” on Twitter on Thursday.
Nets coach Steve Nash said the organization had “spoken to Kyrie about it” but didn’t give specifics. The NBA also spoke up Saturday, saying that “hate speech of any kind is unacceptable.”
“We believe we all have a role to play in ensuring such words or ideas, including antisemitic ones, are challenged and refuted and we will continue working with all members of the NBA community to ensure that everyone understands the impact of their words and actions,” the league said.
Irving, however, responded in a postgame news conference Saturday, claiming to believe in all religions and saying he is “not a divisive person when it comes to religion.” He added he wouldn’t “stand down on anything I believe in.”
“Did I do anything illegal? Did I hurt anybody?” Irving said. “Did I harm anybody? Am I going out and saying that I hate one specific group of people?”
Texas A&M’s football team changed up how it entered the field Saturday night before its 31-28 loss to No. 15 Mississippi. After coming out to “Power” by Ye since 2012, the Aggies instead entered to an instrumental of “Bonfire” by Childish Gambino. Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork criticized West’s comments earlier this week.
The fallout around Ye’s comments also includes Donda Sports, a brand management agency he founded. Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Boston Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown terminated their associations with the agency, with Donald and his wife, Erica, denouncing the “displays of hate and antisemitism” by Ye.
The high-profile basketball team at Ye’s Donda Academy in California also has been affected, with the Los Angeles Times reporting Friday that it had confirmed four major tournaments had dropped the school.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fresh from singing another rollicking chorus of “Fly, Eagles fly,” fans streamed out of Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday and quickly turned their attention from the NFL’s only unbeaten club to another Philly team, another sport and another building just a few hundred yards away.
“Let’s go, Phillies!” some chanted in the concourse. “Let’s go, Harper!” other hollered as they headed to the exits.
Think that was loud? Just wait till the World Series returns to Philadelphia for the first time since 2009. On Halloween night, too, with the Phillie Phanatic sure to be in rare form.
Already frenzied during the NL playoffs, Citizens Bank Park figures to be positively pulsating for Game 3 on Monday night — providing the rain that’s in the forecast doesn’t dampen things.
Noah Syndergaard is set to start for the Phillies against Lance McCullers Jr. and the Houston Astros with the Series tied at one game each.
“Philly fans are the best, they know the game. They just have a way of showing displeasure that sometimes is hard for players to understand,” Mike Schmidt, the greatest Phillie of them all, said in an email to The Associated Press on Sunday.
That’s certainly one way of putting it, coming from a three-time NL MVP and first-ballot Hall of Famer who heard boos often enough at Veterans Stadium.
Schmidt is widely expected to be at the ballpark for the pregame festivities when the Series resumes after a travel day. And he’s certain to draw a standing ovation and hear loud cheers — indeed, the City of Brotherly Love is in love with all of its Phillies these days.
At their ballpark, a large World Series banner was in place. Across the street, a giant “Let’s Go Phillies!” sign was draped from the Eagles’ stadium before they routed the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-13 to improve to 7-0.
McCullers says he’s eager to hear and see the whole scene.
“I have not been shy as far as just being open to pitching on the road. I think it’s really cool to pitch on the road in the postseason. I think it’s when you get to experience the most raw and real atmospheres in all the game,” he said.
Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies are all too eager to show the curveballing McCullers first-hand how quickly things can spin out of control in Philadelphia’s pinball machine.
After going 47-34 at the Bank this season — good, not great compared with several top teams — the Phillies have become monster mashers at home in playoffs.
Philadelphia went 5-0 at home in eliminating defending World Series champion Atlanta and San Diego in the playoffs, outscoring them by a total of 35-15.
Harper, Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins got the park bouncing with long balls. J.T. Realmuto thrilled a sellout crowd when his drive took a crazy carom off the oddly angled wall in center field, letting him become the first catcher in postseason history to hit an inside-the-park home run.
Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella had just gotten out of his car at the adjacent Wells Fargo Center when the Phillies broke loose in a playoff game.
“It was shaking over where I was. That was pretty cool,” Tortorella said. “That’s what I love about being here.”
Syndergaard, who spent his first six seasons in the majors pitching for the NL East rival New York Mets, is glad he’ll be warming up for the home side.
“I never had the ability to play a playoff game wearing a Mets jersey in Citizens Bank Park,” he said. “But I’m more than happy and more relieved to be wearing a Phillies jersey down in that bullpen.”
“Because, I mean, those fans are on those guys from pitch one to the end of the game. And they’re an important part of this team and this organization as well,” he said.
Schmidt vividly recalled the Philly faithful heckling and taunting a Dodgers pitcher into a meltdown on the mound during the 1977 NLCS.
“They can affect what happens in the game, like the Burt Hooton debacle,” the former third baseman said. “They affect game momentum. I estimate an additional 20% advantage for home team in baseball.”
“They love when the players bring them into the game with emotion and acknowledgment,” he said.
Syndergaard, a fan favorite in New York with his flowing, blond hair that drew him the nickname “Thor,” has pitched three times in the postseason this year for a combined 5 1/3 innings. His last start came on Oct. 15 in the NL Division Series against Atlanta when he gave up one run in three innings.
Now, he’ll face Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and manager Dusty Baker’s Astros, who scored five runs each off Phillies aces Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler in splitting the first two games.
“Well, he hasn’t had a real start really since probably the middle of September, and probably his highest pitch count is like around 35 pitches,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said.
“I think that three-inning mark is — probably three, four innings, is probably where we’re at,” he said.
Thomson will also keep an eye on the weather.
“They want to make sure that there’s no delays, that they got enough time to get it in,” he said.
“If it’s really light and misty and it’s not going to get any heavier, they may start it. If it’s going to be moderate to heavy rain, they won’t start it,” he said.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott kept his legs churning to turn a quarterback sneak into a 25-yard gain.
Maybe young standout Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons was taking a cue from his leader.
Parsons got up and rumbled to the end zone on a fumble return for his first NFL touchdown after Chicago quarterback Justin Fields failed to touch him down, and the Cowboys beat the Bears 49-29 on Sunday.
“I kind of popped up ready to celebrate with the team and I thought I was down,” the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year said. “And everyone’s like, ‘Go, go, go,’ and I went, went, went.”
Prescott threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score, and Tony Pollard had 131 yards rushing and a career-best three touchdowns with Ezekiel Elliott sidelined by a right knee injury.
Fields rallied the Bears (3-5) within five after trailing 28-7, but they had already given the momentum back when the second-year pro leapt into the wrong kind of Chicago lore.
David Montgomery fumbled in the open field after a catch in the third quarter, and Parsons fell on the loose ball. Instead of touching Parsons down, Fields jumped over him.
Parsons got up, took off when he heard that “go” signal, stumbled toward the goal line and rolled over in the end zone on the 36-yard return.
Officials didn’t even stop the game for a review.
“You’re always gonna have ups and downs in the game,” Fields said while acknowledging he should have simply touched Parsons. “You’ve just got to keep fighting.”
The Cowboys (6-2) scored touchdowns on their first four possessions for the first time since 2014, two years before Prescott and Elliott arrived as dynamic rookies leading the team to the top seed in the NFC.
Prescott opened the scoring with a 7-yard run on a nifty play design by offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Prescott’s two TD passes, including one to CeeDee Lamb, came on either side of Pollard’s first score.
“Obviously we’ve got to do a better job getting off the field,” said first-year Bears coach Matt Eberflus, who was on the Dallas defensive staff for seven seasons before spending the past four as defensive coordinator in Indianapolis. “We didn’t do a very good job really all day on run defense.”
Fields threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score. His 10-yard toss to Cole Kmet got Chicago back within 13 after his gaffe on Parsons put Dallas up 42-23.
Pollard answered with a 54-yard touchdown on his final carry to get the lead back to 20 and keep the Bears from rallying despite their fourth 200-yard rushing game of the season (240).
“The last one was tough,” said Pollard who tied his career high in yards and carries (14) while averaging 9.4 yards per carry. “I was winded. But I got in there.”
Khalil Herbert, who had what appeared to be a third-quarter fumble overturned on review to help Chicago to stay close, finished with 99 yards and a TD. Fields added 60 and Montgomery 53.
Prescott was 21 of 27 for 250 yards with an interception in his second game back after missing five with a fractured right thumb.
The 25-yard sneak, which led to the third Dallas TD, boosted Prescott to 34 yards with just the second rushing score since the start of 2021 for the franchise leader in rushing touchdowns for a QB (26).
Dallas was 30th in the NFL in third down conversions before getting the first six on the four TD drives to start the game. The Cowboys finished 9 of 11 on third down and had by far their best yardage total (442).
After leaning on defense to stay afloat during Prescott’s absence, Dallas had its most points in a game this season with 6:48 left in the second quarter.
“It’s a huge step … especially going into the bye week,” Prescott said. “That confidence heading into the bye week that we can win any way that we need to.”
FIELDS SOLID AGAIN
The Chicago QB was 17 of 23 without an interception (one was negated by a roughing-the-passer penalty) for a career-best 120 passer rating. Both of the 100-plus ratings of his career have come in the past four games.
MAYBE NEXT TIME, ROOKIE
Malik Davis appeared to have an 11-yard touchdown catch in the undrafted rookie running back’s NFL debut for the Cowboys. It was overturned on review, and Prescott’s second TD pass was a 1-yarder to tight end Jake Ferguson instead. Ferguson and Dalton Schultz followed with quite the roping celebration.
INJURIES
Dallas LB Anthony Barr injured his left hamstring pursuing Fields on a first-half run, and rookie fifth-round pick Damone Clark replaced him. Clark was making his NFL debut seven months after spinal fusion surgery.

Bears: Miami at home next Sunday.
Cowboys: Open week before trip to Green Bay on Nov. 13.

HOUSTON (AP) — Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. wasn’t born in Houston, but he sure loves it now.
Hailing from Tampa, Florida, McCullers might be the most vocal an Astro has ever been about his love for the Space City.
“I only got one thing to say — and I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again,” he said in a TV interview after Houston clinched the ALCS. “Bury me in The H.”
McCullers will represent his beloved, adopted city when he starts Game 3 of the World Series against Noah Syndergaard and the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night, where Houston will look to take a 2-1 Series lead.
While his right arm tries to pitch the Astros to a victory, his left brings reminders of the city he has come to love oh so much.
Tattooed on his left triceps is an astronaut with the Commissioner’s Trophy on his chest. The bottom of the astronaut morphs into a dripping, upside-down depiction of Houston’s downtown skyline, a nod to what the city went through when it flooded after Hurricane Harvey.
Below that in neat block letters are the words: ‘BE SOMEONE’ — a spot-on recreation of iconic local graffiti that adorns a railway bridge on Interstate 45 just south of downtown, not far from Minute Maid Park.
“Houston’s one of those cities where the majority of the people who now reside here and call it home have come here to try to make something of themselves,” he said. “And I found myself as a young man in that position and just really feel like I resonate with the grit and determination that they strive for and just have felt connected to the city since I’ve been here.”
McCullers was drafted by the Astros in the first round of the 2012 draft and made his MLB debut three years later. He’s pitched seven seasons in Houston, sitting out in 2019 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
McCullers and his wife Kara are residents of Houston and have worked for years to make it a better place. They were involved in many charitable causes in the city in the wake of Harvey in 2017 and are passionate about animal rescue. Through the Lance McCullers Jr. Foundation, the couple supports no-kill shelters and pet adoptions throughout Houston and beyond.
The 29-year-old McCullers is under contract through the 2026 season but hopes to stay with the Astros long after that.
“My adult life, since I was 21, Houston’s really most of what I’ve known,” he said. “So, I think I just really felt a connection to the city and to the people. I’ve loved my time here, and this is my home and will hopefully be my home for as long as I play.”
McCullers will pitch in the World Series for the first time since starting Game 7 in 2017, when Houston beat the Dodgers 5-1 to win its first title.
Though McCullers started the game that gave Houston a championship, he was more remembered that postseason for his performance in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series against the Yankees.
Pitching in relief, McCullers threw 24 straight curveballs to six batters to get the last six outs of the game and send Houston to the Series.
McCullers does have a nasty curveball, but that night he threw it not because it was a particularly good pitch but out of necessity. He’d landed awkwardly on a pitch earlier in the game and his leg felt weird when he threw his fastball.
“And I threw the first breaking ball, and I was like: ‘oh, that didn’t hurt,’” he said. “I threw it again and I was like: ‘yeah, that didn’t hurt either.’ So just kind of kept rolling with it.”
Don’t look for a curveball extravaganza Monday.
“That was a special type of night for me and kind of an event,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to top that. I think I’m more of a little bit of a complete pitcher now (than) to rip off 24 in a row, but you never know.”
He missed the 2019 trip after Tommy John surgery and had to sit out the Series last year after injuring his forearm in the ALCS.
“There moments mean so much to me and they mean more than they meant early in my career,” McCullers said. “I’m really truly blessed to be a part of this group. This is a once in a lifetime run.”
His forearm injury caused him to miss most of this season. He didn’t make his season debut until Aug. 13 and made just eight starts in the regular season.
He’s started two games this postseason, pitching six scoreless innings in Houston’s 18-inning win over Seattle in Game 3 of the ALDS and starting the clinching game of the ALCS win over the Yankees.
“He’s a big-game pitcher, wants the ball,” Houston pitching coach Josh Miller said. “We want him out there and excited to see him go (Monday). He’s got elite curveball-slider combination with a sinker and a changeup to boot, and he’ll be ready to rise to the occasion.”
McCullers has pitched in 18 postseason games in six seasons, going 2-2 with a 2.77 ERA.
The Astros lost to Atlanta in six games at last year’s World Series. After punching their ticket to this year’s Fall Classic, manager Dusty Baker asked why this year’s team was better equipped than the 2021 squad to win it all.
“Well, number one, we got Lance McCullers that we didn’t have going into (that) World Series,” Baker said.
McCullers joins Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Yuli Gurriel and fellow starter Justin Verlander as the only players remaining from that 2017 championship team tainted because of an illegal sign-stealing scandal that rocked baseball. McCullers has been subjected to the vitriol from that cheating and knows that many will never let the Astros live it down.
He tries to ignore the negativity and focus on the support the team has always had from friends, family and Astros fans. But he knows that winning again may help change people’s opinion of the Astros past and present.
“I think it still means a lot to a lot of people,” he said. “And I think a championship would go a long way with helping guys maybe who aren’t here anymore feel that validation.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals hired Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro as manager Sunday night, turning over the young core of a rebuilding franchise to a forward-thinking manager with experience winning in a small market.
Quatraro replaces Mike Matheny, who was fired as part of a wide-spread shakeup within the Royals after a 65-97 finish for their sixth straight losing season. Quatraro was chosen by Royals general manager J.J. Picollo, who took over as head of the club’s baseball operations after the firing of longtime front-office executive Dayton Moore.
“We are extremely excited to have Matt leading our club and core of talent,” Picollo said in a statement. “Matt has great experiences throughout his career that have prepared him for this. He thoroughly impressed us all during our interview process and is clearly respected across the industry.”
The Royals interviewed their own bench coach, Pedro Grifol, along with third base coach Vance Wilson and Triple-A Omaha manager Scott Thorman. They also expressed interest in Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough and Boston Red Sox bench coach Will Venable, who have been linked to manager openings elsewhere.
One of the priorities that owner John Sherman had in overhauling the front office was that it lean more heavily on advanced analytics. And the 48-year-old Quatraro reflects that same emphasis in the manager; the Rays have excelled in using analytics to guide their decision-making, allowing them to consistently compete despite modest payrolls.
“I do think the managerial position has changed,” Picollo said. “You talk to players around the league, executives — there are things teams are doing that are pretty advanced. Our goal is to find out what those things are and implement them here.”
Tampa Bay has had five straight winning seasons while playing in the rugged AL East.
Quatraro, who interviewed for the Mets and A’s manager jobs last season, will take over one of the youngest teams in baseball, flush with up-and-coming talent such as AL rookie of the year candidate Bobby Witt Jr., catcher MJ Melendez and first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. However, there is a dearth of pitching prospects across the organization.
“I’m grateful to Mr. Sherman and the ownership group, J.J. and the front office, and everyone else with the Royals for this opportunity,” Quatraro said. “I already knew the talent on the roster and how great the fans in Kansas City are, and the interview process convinced me that the terrific things I’d heard about the organization’s culture are true. I can’t wait to get started, and for my family to get to Kansas City and be part of that community.”
Quatraro starred as a college catcher at Old Dominion before the Rays chose him in the eighth round of the 1996 first-year player draft. And while he eventually reached the Triple-A level, Quatraro never appeared in a major league game.
After retiring as a player, Quatraro began working as an instructor in the Rays’ minor league system. He started out as a hitting coach for Class A Hudson Valley but eventually rose to become the franchise’s minor-league hitting coordinator.
He was hired by Cleveland as its assistant hitting coach in 2010, and worked alongside manager Terry Francona through the 2017 season — a period in which Sherman was a minority owner of the franchise.
Quatraro eventually returned to the Rays as their third base coach, and when Charlie Montoyo was hired as manager of the Blue Jays after the 2018 season, he was promoted to bench coach. He had served since as a sounding board for Rays manager Kevin Cash, helping the club win two division titles and make four straight playoff appearances.
The Rays were swept by the Guardians earlier this month in their AL wild-card series.
“J.J. and his staff designed and executed a rigorous process that revealed Matt to be the best leader for our club,” Sherman said. “Matt is widely respected throughout baseball with a proven record and tangible contributions in two organizations that built winning cultures through creativity and innovation. We are thrilled to welcome Matt, his wife Chris, and sons George and Leo to the Kansas City community.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Tyler Lockett caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith with 9:18 left, and the Seattle Seahawks won their third straight, 27-13 over the New York Giants on Sunday.
The only matchup of teams with winning records in the NFL this week was a slugfest until the fourth quarter, when Lockett made up for two big mistakes earlier in the game and Seattle rookie running back Kenneth Walker III finally broke free, helping the surprising Seahawks (5-3) stay atop the NFC West.
New York (6-2) saw its four-game win streak snapped entering its bye week and lost ground to undefeated Philadelphia in the NFC East — largely because the Seahawks corralled Saquon Barkley, who was held to a season-low 53 yards on 20 carries and had three catches for 9 yards.
Lockett hauled in a short pass at the 3-yard line in the first half, but Adoree’ Jackson forced and recovered a fumble, leading to a 1-yard TD run from Barkley. Late in the third quarter, Lockett was free behind the Giants secondary but dropped what would have been a 33-yard touchdown.
Given another chance on Seattle’s next drive, Lockett came through. First he made a solid 12-yard catch. Then he made a stutter-and-go move on Jackson and flashed open down the sideline. Smith’s throw was on target for the touchdown and a 20-13 Seattle lead.
Seattle added insurance with 5:22 left thanks to Walker. New York’s Richie James fumbled his second punt return of the game, giving Seattle the ball at the Giants 32. Two plays later, Walker reversed his field, broke tackles and scooted 16 yards for the clinching touchdown.
Walker finished with 51 yards on 18 carries. Smith was 23 of 34 for 212 yards and two touchdowns, including a 3-yard TD pass to DK Metcalf in the second quarter. Smith was 5 for 5 for 75 yards on the drive capped by Lockett’s scoring catch. Both Lockett (hamstring/oblique) and Metcalf (knee) were questionable entering the game.
Barkley entered the week leading the NFL in yards from scrimmage and was second in yards rushing. His previous season low on the ground was 70 yards against Green Bay. But he struggled against a Seahawks defense that gave up 235 yards rushing to New Orleans less than a month ago.
The lack of a run game put pressure on Daniel Jones, who avoided big mistakes but didn’t make any big plays through the air. Jones was 17 of 31 for 176 yards and was sacked five times.
COACHING RANKS
Seattle coach Pete Carroll tied Bud Grant for 18th on the all-time victory list with 168, including playoffs.
Carroll was also penalized for sideline interference late in the fourth quarter when he collided with an official. Referee Jerome Boger inadvertently announced the penalty as being against the “Seattle Mariners.”
INJURIES
New York lost defensive lineman Nick Williams in the first quarter to a biceps injury and James was ruled out with a concussion after he hit the back of his head on the turf after his second fumble. Seattle played nearly the entire game without pass rusher Darrell Taylor due to a hip injury, and versatile safety Ryan Neal limped off in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury.
UP NEXT
Giants: After a bye, New York hosts Houston on Nov. 13.
Seahawks: At Arizona next Sunday.

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Seamus Power did enough right and left all the mistakes to PGA Tour rookie Ben Griffin on Sunday to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship for his second tour title.
Power took the lead for good with a 25-foot birdie putt at the 14th. A bogey on the final hole gave the Irishman a 1-under 70 and a one-shot victory over Thomas Detry, who earlier had holed a bunker shot on the 18th for birdie and a 67.
But it was Griffin who had the best chance.
Just more than a year after Griffin was working as a loan officer, he had a shot at winning on the PGA Tour and going to the Masters. He started the back nine at Port Royal with back-to-back birdies, putting him at 5 under for the day and with a two-shot lead over Power.
And then it all fell apart.
Griffin bogeyed four straight holes, followed by a double bogey on the par-3 16th that effectively ended his chances.
The turning point came at the 14th when Griffin hooked his tee shot, had to take a penalty drop and make his third straight bogey, while Power holed his birdie putt for a two-shot swing and his first lead of the day.
Both made bogey on the 15th. Griffin hit a hard draw into a strong wind that went into the hazard above the Atlantic Ocean, leading to another penalty drop and another missed putt for a double bogey.
“This course was always going to be a tale of two sides,” Power said. “I knew it was going to be hard coming in and it was. I’m delighted to get it done.”
Power won last year at the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky, held the same week as the British Open. This victory moves him to No. 32 in the world. He came into Bermuda at No. 48, the highest-ranked player in the field.
After making four straight bogeys and then a double bogey, Griffin used iron off the tee on the par-5 17th and watched it run through the fairway and into the water. He took his third penalty drop in four holes, though at least managed a par.
Power went just over the green and chipped to 3 feet for birdie, giving him a two-shot lead over Detry and room for error playing the last hole.
“It was a fun week. I hate to finish the tournament the way I did,” said Griffin, who shot 72 and tied for third with Patrick Rodgers (65) and Kevin Yu (67). “As I gain more experience, I’m going to get more comfortable.”
Griffin and Power were tied going into the final round, and it was Griffin who seized control early with four birdies in the opening six holes. He looked like a winner when he rolled in birdie putts on the 10th and 11th to extend his lead to two shots.
But he missed a 6-foot par putt on the 12th, and he missed a 4-foot par putt on the next hole, and it only got tougher from there.
DIVOTS: Aaron Baddeley, who got in as a Monday qualifier, was in the mix until a pair of late bogeys. He still tied for sixth and was among those who earned spots into Mayakoba next week in Mexico for finishing in the top 10. … Tennessee freshman Caleb Surratt shot a 64 to make the cut. He followed that with an 85 in the third round, only to improve by 20 shots with a 65 on Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — David Robertson walked off the mound after retiring Miami’s Miguel Rojas in April 2019. He wouldn’t throw another big league pitch for nearly 2 1/2 years.
He was a big bucks bust, his elbow shot less than a month into a $23 million, two-year contract with the Phillies. One surgery, a trip to Japan and three teams later, he’s wearing those high socks on a World Series mound, closing for Philadelphia at age 37.
“Very happy to end up back here in Philly,” he said. “I felt like my first go-around here did not work out well for me or the team. I blew out seven games in and was never able to really show what I could do or be able to help out the club.”
Robertson smiled as teammates filed by him to exchange hand slaps following Friday night’s opener. Robertson got the save for getting the final three outs in a 6-5, 10-inning win, retiring Aledmys Díaz on a game-ending groundout but only after allowing runners to reach second and third. He lived up to the “Houdini” nickname he earned with the New York Yankees, where he succeeded Mariano Rivera as closer.
“He had a tendency to get in trouble and then work his way out of it,” said Phillies manager Rob Thomson, a Yankees coach from 2008-17. “But that’s who he is. He’s got a really calm demeanor and a slow heartbeat and he conveys that throughout the bullpen, so he helps a lot of the younger guys. A lot of guys are going through troubles, he can help them through it.”
A Birmingham native who attended the University of Alabama, Robertson was drafted by the Yankees on the 17th round in the 2006 amateur draft and reached the big leagues two years later. He was a middle reliever during the 2009 title run, getting wins in the Division Series and League Championship Series and making a pair of scoreless appearances against the Phillies in the World Series as the Yankees won the title.
Robertson didn’t return to the Series until this year.
“I feel like a real part of the team,” he said. “In 2009, it was my second year in the league and there was so many superstars on that team that I just tried to kind of stay in the background and enjoy it, but I don’t remember as much of it.”
In his 14th big league season, Robertson has 57 wins and 157 saves. He became a late-inning reliever in 2011, earning his only All-Star trip, was promoted to primary setup man in 2012 and then closer when Rivera retired after the 2013 season. After one year in the role, Robertson left for a $46 million, four-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.
He was dealt back to the Yankees in July 2017. Even on a high-profile team, he was relatively anonymous away from the ballpark, riding the subway to Yankee Stadium wearing a hoodie.
When the contract expired, he became a free agent again and signed with the Phillies. Shut down 2 1/2 weeks into the season with what initially was diagnosed as a strained flexor tendon, Robertson had surgery Aug. 15 with Dr. James Andrews.
“I definitely had a rough road coming back from that injury. I had a little bit more complicated than just the Tommy John. I had flexor repair, as well,” Robertson said. “So my timeline was a lot longer than most people. And I was 34 years old when I had surgery, so it took me a little bit of time to get back. In my mind that wasn’t done, I just needed it that amount of time to get my elbow right to be able to pitch.”
He spent much of 2020 rehabbing, and was shut down after a setback in August. His Phillies contract over, he promised USA Baseball executive director Paul Seiler he would play for the U.S. Olympic team under Mike Scioscia. Robertson had two saves as the Americans won the silver medal.
“It was so hot over there. And even coming from Alabama, the humidity over there was something I hadn’t experienced in a long time,” Robertson said. “You’re playing in 100 degrees with 100% humidity on AstroTurf, and the game was so fast. They had it sped up faster than anything I’ve ever seen. And no fans in the seats, so you could hear everything.”
He signed with Tampa Bay a little more than a week after the Olympics, pitched six times for Triple-A Durham and was back in the majors on Sept. 1, 2021. He pitched 12 regular-season games and three in the Division Series. Then in January, he reached a $3.5 million, one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs that would earn him another $1.6 million in bonuses.
Batters had just one hit in their first 34 at-bats against him this season. With Chicago out of contention, the Phillies acquired him at the trade deadline on Aug. 2 for minor league right-hander Ben Brown.
“He was one of the best relief pitchers in the game of baseball at that point,” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. “He’s pitched in big moments in a big market. So we thought if we were going to acquire somebody that can pitch at the back end of the game, he’d feel very comfortable to do that.”
Robertson had six saves in nine chances with a 2.70 ERA for the Phillies and finished the season with 20 saves in 28 chances and a .173 opponents’ batting average along with a 2.40 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He averaged 93 mph with his cutter, close to his pre-surgery peak.
Then he opened the playoffs by getting the win with a perfect eighth inning against St. Louis in the Wild Card Series opener. He missed the Division Series after hurting his right calf while jumping to celebrate Bryce Harper’s home run in the clinching win over the Cardinals.
It took 13 years for Robertson to make it back to baseball’s biggest stage, and he’s enjoying the moment.
“Pretty good adrenaline rush there,” he said the day after getting the Series save. “It turned into a tough inning there, but it always is tough to get those final three outs.”

MILAN (AP) — Soccer player Pablo Marí was released from hospital on Sunday, three days after being injured in a knife attack at an Italian shopping center.
Five people were stabbed Thursday, including Marí, and one died after a man grabbed a knife from a supermarket shelf. Police arrested a 46-year-old Italian man suspected in the attack at a shopping center in Assago, a suburb of Milan.
The 29-year-old Marí, who is on loan at Serie A club Monza from Arsenal, avoided life-threatening injuries but needed surgery on his back and also had injuries to his mouth. He will be out for two to three months.
Monza issued a statement on Sunday saying the Spanish player had been released from hospital but would need “a period of absolute rest.”
The club also said that the players will warm up for Monday’s match at home to Bologna wearing special shirts dedicated to Marí, with his name on the back and a message on the front saying “come back soon Pablo.”
There will also be a minute’s silence before kickoff in memory of Luis Fernando Ruggieri, the supermarket employee who was killed in the attack.
The Italian league rejected Monza’s request for the match to be postponed.
“This week was has been very particular, very emotional. When we found out about Pablo it was normal that it shocked everyone. We were very down,” Monza coach Raffaele Palladino said. “But when we found that Pablo was out of danger we all heaved a sigh of relief.
“It was a horrible week but also beautiful because what happened to Pablo is a miracle, that it wasn’t more serious. So we realised it could have been a lot worse and we understood that it was our duty to play, to go out on the field and give everything, especially for Pablo.”
Marí, a center back, has played in eight of Monza’s 11 Italian league games this season and scored the second goal in a 2-0 win over Spezia this month. He spent the second half of last season on loan with Udinese, another Italian club.
Monza, which is owned by former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, is playing its debut season in the top division.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk on Sunday tweeted a link to an unfounded rumor about the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, just days after Musk's purchase of Twitter fueled concerns that the social media platform would no longer seek to limit misinformation and hate speech.
Musk's tweet, which he later deleted, linked to an article by a fringe website, the Santa Monica Observer, an outlet that has previously asserted that Hillary Clinton died on Sept. 11 and was replaced with a body double.
In this case, the article recycled a baseless claim that the personal life of Paul Pelosi, the speaker's husband, somehow played a role in an intruder's attack last week in the couple's San Francisco home, even though there is no evidence to support that claim.
Musk did so in reply to a tweet by Hillary Clinton. Her tweet had criticized Republicans for generally spreading “hate and deranged conspiracy theories” and said, “It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result.”
In response to Clinton's tweet, Musk provided a link to the Santa Monica Observer article and added, “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye."
The Los Angeles Times, the dominant news organization in the Southern California area where the Observer is located, has said the Observer is “notorious for fake news.”
Police in San Francisco have said the suspect in last week's attack, identified as David DePape, 42, broke into the Pelosi family’s Pacific Heights home early Friday and confronted Paul Pelosi, demanding to know, as the AP has reported, “Where is Nancy?”
The two men struggled over a hammer before officers responding to a 911 call to the home saw DePape strike Paul Pelosi at least once, police said. DePape was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, elder abuse and burglary. Prosecutors plan to file charges on Monday and expect his arraignment on Tuesday.
Police say the attack was “intentional” and not random but have not stated publicly what they consider to be the motive.
The exchange between Musk and Clinton occurred a day after Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of safety and integrity, tweeted that the company's policies toward “slurs” and “hateful conduct” were still in place.
“Bottom line up front: Twitter’s policies haven’t changed. Hateful conduct has no place here,” Roth wrote.
Shortly after Musk took control of Twitter, some accounts on the platform began tweeting messages ranging from racist slurs to political misinformation, such as “Trump won,” to see what Twitter will now tolerate.
Musk himself said Friday that he would form a “content moderation council” for Twitter and promised advertisers that the website would not devolve into a “free for all hellscape.” Musk has also described himself as a “free speech absolutist.”
But at least one major advertiser, General Motors, has said it will suspend advertising on Twitter while it monitors the direction of the platform under Musk.
Also on Sunday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, said on NBC's “Meet the Press” that she didn't trust Musk to run Twitter.
Referring to antisemitic attacks and the QAnon conspiracy theory that were advanced online by DePape, the suspect in the attack, Klobuchar said, “I think you have to have some content moderation.”
“If Elon Musk has said now that he’s going to start a content moderation board," the senator said, "that was one good sign. But I continue to be concerned about that. I just don’t think people should be making money off of passing on this stuff that’s a bunch of lies.”

The main centenary congregation of Shaheedi Saka (martyrdom massacre) of Sri Panja Sahib was held at Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Pakistan on Sunday.
The centenary event was organised jointly by Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) and Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
Jathedar of Akal Takht Sahib Giani Harpreet Singh in his address said that the martyrs of Saka Panja Sahib were committed to the Sikh beliefs who sacrificed their lives for strengthening Sikh institutions.
Jathedar said that after the Partition, many Gurdhams (Sikh shrines), including Gurdwara Panja Sahib, remained in Pakistan for which the Sikh community has deep reverence and devotion. He said Sikhs should have an opportunity to visit these shrines. “The governments of both India and Pakistan should make arrangements to grant on-arrival visas to the Sikhs wishing to visit the shrines on either side,” said Giani Harpreet Singh.
Jathedar said that the Sikhs want good relations between the two countries, because strained ties restrict the movement of Sikh jathas.
Giani Harpreet Singh said that it was not right to keep the train service stopped for the pilgrims coming to Pakistan. “There is financial burden on the common pilgrims because of stopping of this rail service. I urge the governments of both the countries to pay attention to this important issue and to restore the train service,” he added.
The Jathedar also asked the government and the ‘Sangat’ to pay special attention for strengthening the Sikh organisations. He appealed to the Sikhs to draw inspiration from the lives of these martyrs.
Paying tribute to the Saka Panja Sahib martyrs, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the ‘Sangat’ will remember for ages this historical struggle of the Sikh community. These martyrs are the heritage of the community and this history is a priceless source of inspiration, he added.
He said Shaheed Bhai Karam Singh and Shaheed Bhai Pratap Singh, who were martyred 100 years ago, will continue to represent the community.
Dhami appealed to the current officials of the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), Pakistan, to pay special attention to the problems faced by the pilgrims at the time of getting visas. Visas of many important SGPC personalities who had planned to attend this centenary congregation were rejected recently, he said.
He said that long-term visas should be arranged for pilgrims, preachers, and ‘ragi jathas’ so that they can visit the Sikh shrines in Pakistan from time to time.
The SGPC president appealed to the authorities to do away with the the condition of “having a passport” for the ‘Sangat’ crossing to pay obeisance at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Narowal via Kartarpur Sahib Corridor.
PSGPC president Ameer Singh and additional secretary of ETPB Rana Shahid Saleem also paid homage to the martyrs of Saka Panja Sahib and they welcomed the visiting personalities and pilgrims.
Saleem said that the government of Pakistan values minorities and gives special attention to their affairs. He said that people of all religions are equal in Pakistan and all religious beliefs and shrines are respected.
Shiromani Akali Dal leaders from Delhi Paramjit Singh Sarna and others also addressed the congregation. The family members of the martyrs and prominent personalities were honoured during the event.
Dhami also said that the officials of PSGPC and ETPB have assured to build a memorial of Shaheedi Saka Panja Sahib. The SGPC will provide all the necessary support in this regard, he added.

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is telling parents, guardians and caregivers to be prepared for all possibilities in the event of an education worker strike that could come as early as Friday.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) announced Sunday morning that education workers across the province would go on strike starting Nov. 4 if a deal with the provincial government is not reached.
The TDSB sent a letter to parents Sunday evening saying it anticipates sharing additional information tomorrow about next steps and contingency plans in the event of a strike.
“We are continuing to assess the impact a full withdrawal of services will have on our schools. With approximately 14,600 TDSB staff members represented by CUPE, maintaining a normal routine will be very difficult and as such, parents/guardians/caregivers and students should be prepared for all possibilities," the letter said.
This comes after the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) announced Sunday afternoon that it would close the doors of its schools starting Friday, if the strike goes ahead.
In a note sent to parents and guardians, the TCDSB said the closure, which will be done "to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of our students and staff," would also result in the cancellation of permits for special events as well as night school and Saturday classes. All excursions will also be called off "for the duration of the strike," the board noted.
The TCDSB, which is advising parents/guardians to check its website and Twitter page for updates, said it is also working with its child-care providers to come up with a "contingency plan" and would communicate more information shortly.
In the meantime, the board is encouraging parents with school-aged children to make alternate arrangements for their families.
"We understand that this news is difficult and may be the source of stress among families and their children, particularly after the circumstances during the pandemic. However, please be aware that the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) does not control the decisions regarding the strike or its remedy as negotiations rest centrally at the provincial level," the TCDSB said.

Despite not knowing what exactly the job action would entail, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District and the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington (PVNC) Catholic District school boards have also both already announced they plan to close their buildings if a full CUPE strike happens.
Earlier today, the union representing Ontario’s 55,000 custodians, early childhood educators, educational assistants and administrative staff in the province’s public, Catholic, English, and French school boards gave its five-day notice to strike. Job action could begin on Friday, if a new collective agreement isn’t negotiated with the provincial government.
Education workers in Ontario have been without a contract since Aug. 31. Despite several rounds of talks, a new collective agreement has yet to be negotiated.
In early October, CUPE announced its members had voted 96.5 per cent in favour of walking off the job if a contract agreement could not be reached with the provincial government.
The union then asked the Ontario Ministry of Labour to grant what is known as a no-board report, which means that a board of conciliation will not be appointed. That go-ahead, which allowed the workers to legally walk off the job in 17 days (Nov. 3), was given on Oct. 17. Five days notice must be given before the union can go on strike.
Last week, mediated negotiations began between the two sides, but broke down after just two days. The province and the union are expected to return to the bargaining table on Tuesday.
An emergency mediated session has now been called for this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. All affected parties including CUPE, government negotators, the mediator, and school board representatives are set to gather at downtown Toronto's Sheraton Hotel to discuss the imminent job action and how it can be averted.
OSBCU 2022 Bargaining Update # 32 | Négociation du CSCSO 2022 - Mise à jour no 32 - Response to Minister's Statement #OntEd #OnPoli https://t.co/OYyktbtCqc pic.twitter.com/NeeUJ7ca1L
— OSBCU-CSCSO (@osbcucscso) October 30, 2022
The Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA), which represents English public district school boards and public school authorities across Ontario, told CTV News that their "top priority is to negotiate a fair collective agreement, that is fully-funded, and in the best interest of our students."
"We will be attending the meeting with the other parties today,” OPSBA President Cathy Abraham said in a statement.
At this time, the association is in the process of compiling a list of boards that plan on closing their schools if a strike happens on Friday. In some cases, boards with facilities that have support staff entirely represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation can remain open.
Among other things, CUPE wants a yearly wage increase of $3.25/hour (11.7 per cent), early childhood educators in every kindergarten class, five additional paid days before the start of the school year, 30 minutes of paid daily prep time, an increase in overtime pay, and a $100 million investment in new job creation.
The Ford government, meanwhile, has proposed a four-year deal that includes a two per cent annual raise for workers who make under $40,000, and a 1.25 per cent yearly wage increase for those who make more.
Laura Walton, a Belleville-based educational assistant who serves as the president of CUPE’s Ontario School Boards Council of Unions, said their goal is to "get a negotiated agreement that responds to the needs of students and frontline workers. No one wants to strike, least of all the lowest-paid education workers who can barely pay our bills.”
“Still, we need a significant wage increase and we deserve it. Students and parents deserve guarantees of service levels and improved staffing in schools. Doug Ford is premier of Canada’s richest province and he clearly has the power and resources to accept our reasonable, affordable, and absolutely necessary proposals. It would be popular and the right thing for him to do that today,” she said in an Oct. 30 news release.
Calling the strike notice an “unfortunate decision” by CUPE, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said the province would continue to work to reach an agreement.
“For the sake of students and parents, we are not giving up on a deal that protects in-person learning for kids, after two years of disruption that led to learning loss and mental health adversity. We have asked CUPE to meet us back at the table today and hope that they budge from their demand for a nearly 50 per cent increase in compensation, which they have so far refused to do,” he said in a statement provided to CTV News Toronto.
“We are at the table with a fair offer that includes a pay raise and maintains the most generous pension and benefit package, but most importantly — it keeps kids in class. If CUPE moves ahead with strike action and disruption, we will act to keep students in class so they can continue to catch up.”
Lecce previously described his government’s offers as “reasonable”, and has urged the union to come forward with a counterproposal that is more “affordable and fair” than what they have submitted to date.
In a statement provided to CP24 on Friday, he accused CUPE of all but confirming "that they will strike if they do not get a nearly 50 per cent increase in compensation."
"While this union puts their own interests ahead of kids, we will ensure Ontario students remain in class," Lecce said.
The union first legally served notice to bargain on June 3, the day after the provincial election.
“We have been urging the Ford government to reach a deal with us for 150 days, but so far they keep saying ‘no’ even though they could easily afford to say ‘yes’ given their $2.1 billion surplus,” Walton said, adding students are being sent home from school because there aren’t enough staff available, while many education workers are relying on foodbanks.
All five of Ontario’s key education unions are currently in the midst of bargaining with the province after their contracts expired on Aug. 31.

The Selection Centre North, which conducts Services Selection Board (SSB) tests for officer candidates of the three services, will soon shift from its present location in Kapurthala to Jalandhar. The Selection Centre North was set up in Kapurthala on July 1, 2015 and was operationalised on April 1, 2016 with the first batch of candidates arriving at the centre. SSBs-31 and SSB-32 operate from this centre.
This selection centre was earlier supposed to have come up in Ropar but the land allotted for it was not found to be suitable. There were also issues with Ropar not being adequately connected by railway network since majority of candidates report for SSB evaluation by rail network. There was also a lack of medical facilities as there was no Military Hospital in Ropar where the shortlisted candidates could undergo the mandatory medical check-ups.
Therefore, despite political opposition in Punjab over shifting of the centre, it as moved to Kapurthala by the Army Recruiting authorities. It had raised a political storm at the time with politicians who represent Ropar and surrounding areas protesting over the move as they felt the Selection Centre could have given impetus to the growth of the area. Now, the same reasons which led to the move from Ropar to Kapurthala are being cited for the move from Kapurthala to Jalandhar. Lack of connectivity with rail network has been cited as a major reason along with lack of hospital facilities.
Army officers familiar with the developments say that the location of the selection centre in Kapurthala was an interim arrangement till adequate accommodation for it could be found in Jalandhar. The officer said that now that the Corps HQs at Jalandhar had moved to its new key location plan (KLP), there was adequate space for the selection centre to be set up in the premises that the HQs had vacated, The selection centre will move to its new location in Jalandhar as soon as peripheral issues relating to land needed for the obstacle course etc are sorted out with the HQs Western Command, say sources.
The other selection centres in the country are also located in bigger cities with Selection Centre East functioning from Prayagraj in UP, Selection Centre Central in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh and Selection Centre South from Bengaluru, Karnataka. The IAF has a selection centre in Dehradun.
The Selection Centre North had hit the headlines in March 2021 when the CBI filed an FIR against 23 persons including Army officers and other personnel in connection with bribes paid by candidates to get selected as officer cadets at the centre. The CBI conducted searches at 30 places across the country and identified a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) posted at Base Hospital Delhi Cantonment as the kingpin of the scam. Several officers of the rank of Major and Lt Col have also been named by CBI in its investigation including a newly commissioned Lieutenant who is alleged to have paid a bribe to get selected. In May this year, the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) refused to intervene in the suspension of a Lt Colonel of the Army Air Defence Corps named in the SSB scam. The investigation into the scam is still underway and further prosecution of the accused is awaited.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has done it again: Twenty years after first winning the Brazilian presidency, the leftist defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro Sunday in an extremely tight election that marks an about-face for the country after four years of far-right politics.
With more than 99% of the votes tallied in the runoff vote, da Silva had 50.9% and Bolsonaro 49.1%, and the election authority said da Silva’s victory was a mathematical certainty.
It is a stunning reversal for da Silva, 77, whose 2018 imprisonment over a corruption scandal sidelined him from the 2018 election that brought Bolsonaro, a defender of conservative social values, to power.
Da Silva is promising to govern beyond his leftist Workers’s Party. He wants to bring in centrists and even some leaning to the right who voted for him for the first time, and to restore the country’s more prosperous past. Yet he faces headwinds in a politically polarized society where economic growth is slowing and inflation is soaring.
His victory marks the first time since Brazil’s 1985 return to democracy that the sitting president has failed to win reelection. The highly polarized election in Latin America's biggest economy extended a wave of recent leftist victories in the region, including Chile, Colombia and Argentina.
Da Silva's inauguration is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1. He last served as president from 2003-2010.
It was the country's closest election in over three decades. Just over 2 million votes separated the two candidates with 99.5% of the vote counted. The previous closest race, in 2014, was decided by a margin of 3.46 million votes.
Thomas Traumann, an independent political analyst, compared the results to U.S. President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, saying da Silva is inheriting an extremely divided nation.
“The huge challenge that Lula has will be to pacify the country,” he said. “People are not only polarized on political matters, but also have different values, identity and opinions. What’s more, they don’t care what the other side’s values, identities and opinions are.”
Bolsonaro had been leading throughout the first half of the count and, as soon as da Silva overtook him, cars in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo began honking their horns. People in the streets of Rio de Janeiro’s Ipanema neighborhood could be heard shouting, “It turned!”
Da Silva’s headquarters in downtown Sao Paulo hotel only erupted once the final result was announced, underscoring the tension that was a hallmark of this race.
“Four years waiting for this,” said Gabriela Souto, one of the few supporters allowed in due to heavy security.
Outside Bolsonaro’s home in Rio de Janeiro, ground-zero for his support base, a woman atop a truck delivered a prayer over a speaker, then sang excitedly, trying to generate some energy. But supporters decked out in the green and yellow of the flag barely responded. Many perked up when the national anthem played, singing along loudly with hands over their hearts.
Most opinion polls before the election gave a lead to da Silva, universally known as Lula, though political analysts agreed the race grew increasingly tight in recent weeks.
For months, it appeared that da Silva was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when Brazil’s economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class.
But while da Silva topped the Oct. 2 first-round elections with 48% of the vote, Bolsonaro was a strong second at 43%, showing opinion polls significantly underestimated his popularity. Many Brazilians support Bolsonaro’s defense of conservative social values and he shored up support in an election year with vast government spending.
Bolsonaro’s administration has been marked by incendiary speech, his testing of democratic institutions, his widely criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in 15 years. But he has built a devoted base by defending conservative values and presenting himself as protection from leftist policies that he says infringe on personal liberties and produce economic turmoil.
Da Silva is credited with building an extensive social welfare program during his 2003-2010 tenure that helped lift tens of millions into the middle class as well as presiding over an economic boom. The man universally known as Lula left office with an approval rating above 80%; then U.S. President Barack Obama called him “the most popular politician on Earth.”
But he is also remembered for his administration’s involvement in vast corruption revealed by sprawling investigations. Da Silva’s arrest in 2018 kept him out of that year’s race against Bolsonaro, a fringe lawmaker at the time who was an outspoken fan of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Da Silva was jailed for for 580 days for corruption and money laundering. His convictions were later annulled by Brazil’s top court, which ruled the presiding judge had been biased and colluded with prosecutors. That enabled da Silva to run for the nation’s highest office for the sixth time.
For months, it appeared that he was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when the economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class. But results from an Oct. 2 first-round vote — da Silva got 48% and Bolsonaro 43% — showed opinion polls had significantly underestimated Bolsonaro’s resilience and popularity. He shored up support, in part, with vast government spending.
Da Silva has pledged to boost spending on the poor, reestablish relationships with foreign governments and take bold action to eliminate illegal clear-cutting in the Amazon rainforest.
He hasn’t provided specific plans on how he will achieve those goals, and faces many challenges. The president-elect will be confronted by strong opposition from conservative lawmakers likely to take their cues from Bolsonaro.
Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo, compared the likely political climate to that experienced by former President Dilma Rousseff, da Silva’s hand-picked successor after his second term.
“Lula’s victory means Brazil is trying to overcome years of turbulence since the reelection of President Dilma Rousseff in 2014. That election never ended; the opposition asked for a recount, she governed under pressure and was impeached two years later,” said Melo. “The divide became huge and then made Bolsonaro.”
Unemployment this year has fallen to its lowest level since 2015 and, although overall inflation has slowed during the campaign, food prices are increasing at a double-digit rate. Bolsonaro’s welfare payments helped many Brazilians get by, but da Silva has been presenting himself as the candidate more willing to sustain aid going forward and raise the minimum wage.
Da Silva has also pledged to put a halt to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, and once again has prominent environmentalalist Marina Silva by his side, years after a public falling out when she was his environment minister. The president-elect has already pledged to install a ministry for Brazil’s orginal peoples, which will be run by an Indigenous person.
In April, he tapped center-right Geraldo Alckmin, a former rival, to be his running mate. It was another key part of an effort to create a broad, pro-democracy front to not just unseat Bolsonaro, but to make it easier to govern. Da Silva mended also has drawn support from Sen. Simone Tebet, a moderate who finished in third place in the election’s first round.
“If Lula manages to talk to voters who didn’t vote for him, which Bolsonaro never tried, and seeks negotiated solutions to the economic, social and political crisis we have, and links with other nations that were lost, then he could reconnect Brazil to a time in which people could disagree and still get some things done,” Melo said.

UP Police on Sunday said that they took suspended IPS officer Mani Lal Patidar, an accused in the death of a businessman, to Mahoba for recovery of evidence.
Patidar was the district police chief of Mahoba when businessman Indra Kant Tripathi, 44, was found dead in his car with gunshot injuries on September 8, 2020, days after he accused Patidar of extortion.
After being on the run for nearly two years, Patidar, a 2014 batch IPS officer, surrendered before a court in Lucknow on October 15. He was on the run since he and three others, including former SHO of Kabrai police station Devendra Shukla, were booked for extortion and abetment to suicide.
“Mani Lal Patidar has been sent back to jail after his police custody ended at 6.00 pm Sunday,” said Additional Superintendent of Police Satish Chandra, who is the investigating officer in the case. Chandra refused to share any further details citing the ongoing investigation.
Police had moved court earlier this week seeking two days police custody of Patidar for “recovery of evidence” and questioning. The application moved by the police seeking Patidar’s custody was moved days after they recorded his statement at Lucknow district jail where he is lodged.
Police have already filed a charge sheet against Patidar and other accused in the case. Police said they would file supplementary charge sheet only if new evidence come up during the investigation.

One more leopard walked into a cage trap on Sunday morning that was laid by forest officials inside the Aarey forest after a 16-month-old died in a leopard attack on Diwali.
This is the second leopard trapped by forest officials within a week. On October 26, forest officials had trapped a three-year-old male leopard, identified as C-55, which is suspected behind the attack on the toddler.
Forest officials said they were investigating whether the second leopard was involved in the recent man-animal conflicts.
“A male leopard walked into the trap early Sunday morning. It was taken to the Leopard Rescue Centre at Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). We are investigating whether it’s the same leopard suspected behind the recent man-animal conflicts,” said G Mallikarjun, SGNP director and chief conservator of forests.
Forest officials said there is one more male leopard, identified as C-56, suspected to be behind the recent attacks. Officials said both leopards are siblings. After the Diwali incident, officials have put multiple cage traps inside the forest, covering them with shrubs and bushes. Forty camera traps too have been set up to monitor the movement of leopards 24×7.

Greta Thunberg: COP27 an opportunity for "greenwashing, lying and cheating"
"I wanted it to be educational, which is a bit ironic since my thing is school strikes," she said. Asked to comment on recent protest actions by Just Stop Oil activists which saw them throw soup at Vincent van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' at London's National Gallery, Thunberg said, "People are trying to find new methods because we realize that what we have been doing up until now has not done the trick.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg on Sunday called out next month's United Nations climate summit in Egypt for being "held in a tourist paradise in a country that violates many basic human rights."
Speaking at the London Literature Festival at the Southbank Centre where she was promoting her new book, "The Climate Book", 19-year-old Thunberg dismissed the looming climate summit, known as COP27, as an opportunity for "people in power... to greenwashing, lying and cheating." While Thunberg did attend protests in Glasgow last year for COP26, she said she won't attend COP27, scheduled to be held from Nov. 6 to Nov. 18 in Sharm El Sheikh.
"The space for civil society is going to be extremely limited," she said. "It's important to leave space for those who need to be there. It will be difficult for activists to make their voices heard." Public demonstration is effectively banned in Egypt and limits on accreditation and attendance badges for activists have been a point of contention at previous U.N. climate summits.
Thunberg rose to prominence in 2018 at the age of 15 by staging school strikes in her native Sweden, becoming the face of the youth activist climate movement. During Sunday's event, she decried the "sustainability crisis" as a "crisis of information not getting through."
Her book includes explanatory articles from over 100 climate experts, including renowned climate scientists Katharine Hayhoe and Michael Mann, as well as authors including Margaret Atwood. "I wanted it to be educational, which is a bit ironic since my thing is school strikes," she said.
Asked to comment on recent protest actions by Just Stop Oil activists which saw them throw soup at Vincent van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' at London's National Gallery, Thunberg said, "People are trying to find new methods because we realize that what we have been doing up until now has not done the trick. It's only reasonable to expect these kinds of different actions."

Dr Gufran Beig, Founder Project Director, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) & Chair Professor NIAS, IISc, speaks to Omkar Gokhale on Mumbai’s deteriorating AQI, the contributing factors and what can be done about it.
Why is Air Quality Index (AQI) so bad this year and what are the contributing factors?
The accumulation of suspended fine particulate matter in the air post-Diwali was high due to calm wind conditions which prevailed in Mumbai. The Southwest monsoon has just withdrawn from Mumbai. After the withdrawal of monsoon, anti-cyclonic circulation prevails, which lead to stagnant wind speed. In addition to this, Cyclone Sitrang, which formed in the Bay of Bengal, also contributed to slowing the wind speed on October 24. People celebrated Diwali with much vigour this year. Hence, with additional emissions due to burning of firecrackers, AQI shot up to ‘very poor’ category. However, it quickly recovered. Increased windspeed has led to improved AQI in Mumbai in the last two days. Due to heavy rain in the past two years in Mumbai, all pollutants got washed away and Mumbai observed “satisfactory” AQI in 2020 and 2021. However, this year, with the monsoon withdrawing earlier and no rain during Diwali, the pollutants were not washed away.
Is climate change affecting the AQI of Mumbai and what are the factors leading to deteriorating AQI in the city for the last few years?
While the change in AQI is a day-to-day phenomenon, climate change refers to long-term, say decadal change. In all likelihood, climate change is responsible for unprecedented extreme pollution events, which are weather-related and sometimes related to large-scale systems. In 2022 itself, there were three back-to-back duststorms in the month of January and February originating in the Gulf region and Thar desert. It was unusual as duststorms normally do not occur during winter as the air is still heavy. Ongoing westerly disturbances pushed most of the dust to Mumbai, affecting its AQI. If you refer to air quality data of SAFAR for the last seven years from 2015, you will see only a marginal change in the AQI. However, extreme pollution events are increasing. While overall air quality might remain the same, pollution is too high on certain days because of slow wind trapping pollutants in the air and is extremely low on some days due to heavy rains, which wash away the pollutants. Mumbai also recorded the lowest AQI during the monsoon this year. Extreme events are averaging out each other. However, it is of concern as it does not give the exact idea of impact on the environment.
Are construction of infrastructure projects in the city affecting the air quality?
Large number of infrastructure projects create dust and it majorly contributes to the quantity of bigger particles, including PM 10. Contribution of dust to smaller particles like PM 2.5 is relatively less. There are excavations going on for such projects and such work impacts air quality related to PM 10 and increasing pollution in the city.
Interestingly, the level of biofuel emissions due to the use of coal and wood for cooking and water heating in the city’s slums has increased since last year. While it declined after the Ujjwala scheme was introduced, due to economic issues and other reasons, the slum population has resorted back to quick food-cooking measures leading to increased emission of biofuels, which contributes to the quantity of PM 2.5 in the air.
As per a SAFAR sample survey of 80 slum clusters in Mumbai having a population of 5 lakh, from around 40 per cent of slum residents using LPG, a 2018 survey found that the number of slum residents using LPG had increased to 85 per cent after the introduction of the Ujjwala scheme in 2016-17. However, updated data of 2021 revealed that 70 per cent slum population was consuming LPG and 30 per cent had resorted to the use of biofuel.
Mumbai is surrounded by sea on three sides, so surface windspeed is normally higher. There is also wind reversal now and then. When winds originate from the oceanic side, it is clean and it sweeps away all the city’s pollution leading to cleaner AQI but when it gets reversed, AQI deteriorates. This cycle continues for the whole year. Mumbai is blessed by this geography.
Is AQI affecting the quality of life of Mumbaikars and what are the likely health hazards and solutions?
The people of Mumbai are certainly likely to face the threat of health hazards, including respiratory system-related diseases, as humidity is high and there is a high level of toxicity in the air emissions. Since the pollutants are made up of different chemicals, the toxicity of pollutant particles differs from city to city. There is lot of water in the atmosphere due to humidity and particles emitted due to industry, vehicles and traffic jams make a toxic blend of toxins. Although the mass concentration of PM 2.5 particles in Mumbai is much lower than Delhi, Mumbai’s pollutants have more toxic elements than that in Delhi. If traffic jams can be prevented, improvement in AQI is bound to happen.
What are SAFAR’s initiatives for public awareness about impacts of low AQI and pollution?
SAFAR has started awareness programmes in many cities and focuses on workshops for schoolgoing children. School awareness programmes, in which the flag of a particular AQI prevailing on that day is put up, is being implemented in cities like Pune and Ahmedabad. Children are being made aware about advisories based on AQI forecasts and the impacts of climate change during morning assembly. If any school contacts us, we may launch such programmes in Mumbai as well. We are seeing changes in children’s mindsets after our awareness programmes. Parents conveyed to us that considering the impact of air and noise pollution, their children were voluntarily deciding not to burst firecrackers. There is a paradigm shift in approach and if children are made aware of the same, our cities will have a better future.

Which ‘The Mandalorian’ Funko Pop is best?
“The Mandalorian” is one of the most popular “Star Wars” releases to date. Debuting on Disney+ in late 2019, the series follows the Mandalorian after the fall of the Empire, who finds and cares for Grogu, aka “The Child.” The television show has attracted both new and longtime fans of the franchise.
Individuals looking to collect memorabilia should explore the extensive collection of Funko Pop figurines inspired by “The Mandalorian.” The top choice is the Funko Pop Star Wars: Luke Skywalker With Grogu. Capturing the surprise twist from the end of Season 2, this is a must-have for all Star Wars fans.
What to know before you buy a ‘The Mandalorian’ Funko Pop
Characters
As with many TV shows, movies and pop culture trends, there are a massive number of Funko Pop toys from “The Mandalorian.” Most of the popular scenes and characters are commemorated through these figurines. Knowing which characters you’d like to collect is helpful in building your collection. Whether you are brand new to Funko Pop or an avid collector, some advanced planning will help you purchase the figurines that you want most.
How many to collect
If you’re a fan of the show itself, you may want to collect every character and scene that you can find. However, space constraints and availability can limit these plans. Prior to purchasing any new Funko Pop figurines, decide how many will reasonably fit into your collection. Be sure to factor in the larger Funko Pop toys that depict entire scenes, which take up additional space.
Those who have already started collecting memorabilia from the show should determine how to fit these new Funko Pop characters into their existing collection. For instance, some individuals may only want two to three figures to add to their desk at work. The number you ultimately decide upon may change, but you should have an idea of how many you plan to buy.
Budget
Once you’ve determined which characters you want to collect, and how many you plan to buy, you can start to budget for your new collection. The vast majority of people won’t be able to buy every single “The Mandalorian” Funko Pop they want in the same transaction. This is especially true if you’re working on building other Funko Pop collections.
When setting your budget, decide how frequently you will be purchasing the toys, and how much you will spend on each transaction. Additionally, plan to buy or pre-order Funko Pop figurines that are harder to find before any others.
What to look for in a quality ‘The Mandalorian’ Funko Pop
Iconic moments
Funko Pop has done a marvelous job of capturing some of the most iconic and memorable scenes from “The Mandalorian.” From Grogu eating the blue cookies to the Mandalorian revealing his face, all of these moments can be relived through these figurines. No matter which scene is your favorite, it is likely you’ll find a Funko Pop toy that depicts it.
Bobblehead, deluxe and mini varieties
In addition to offering standard Funko Pop figurines from “The Mandalorian,” fans can purchase bobblehead, deluxe and mini varieties. Bobbleheads add a touch of playful motion which further brings each character and scene to life. Individuals concerned about space can opt for the mini varieties of popular characters. The opposites of these compact figurines are the deluxe Funko Pop toys. These models are larger than standard Funko Pop characters and showcase a backdrop and multiple characters.
Likeness of characters
“The Mandalorian” Funko Pop figurines beautifully capture the likeness of characters from the show. Everyone from Grogu to Ahsoka looks true to their depictions in each episode. On top of accurately capturing the likeness of faces, movements and postures, clothing and props are also created with the highest degree of accuracy.
How much you can expect to spend on a ‘The Mandalorian’ Funko Pop
Prices for “The Mandalorian” Funko Pop toys range between $8-$30.

INSIGHT-Alarmed by suicide attack, China and Pakistan join hands in probe
"Attacks on the Chinese nationals and projects in Pakistan are of grave concern for the government," the interior ministry said in a statement to Reuters last week, adding that the government was in active pursuit of such militant outfits. The Baloch National Army (BLA), the banned group that issued the video, is part of a decades-old insurgency that usually targets Pakistani security forces.
It was the kind of attack Pakistani authorities had dreaded.
A highly educated female suicide bomber killed three Chinese teachers in Karachi in April along with their local driver, targeting nationals from Pakistan's most important partner and seeking to undermine a relationship on which Islamabad's financial survival largely depends. The blow threatened a major segment of Beijing's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative, a $65 billion network of roads, railways, pipelines and ports in Pakistan that will connect China to the Arabian Sea and help Islamabad expand and modernise its economy.
Separatists from the vast, impoverished Pakistani province of Balochistan claimed responsibility for the attack after a young, educated mother from a well-to-do family blew herself up in an assault captured on CCTV and broadcast on local news channels. In a video on social media, the separatists warned China to leave Pakistan or face further carnage.
Even though months have passed since the attack, Pakistani authorities remain deeply worried. "Attacks on the Chinese nationals and projects in Pakistan are of grave concern for the government," the interior ministry said in a statement to Reuters last week, adding that the government was in active pursuit of such militant outfits.
The Baloch National Army (BLA), the banned group that issued the video, is part of a decades-old insurgency that usually targets Pakistani security forces. But in recent years the BLA has attacked Chinese nationals, because, it says, Beijing has ignored warnings not to enter deals and agreements regarding Balochistan.
China is involved in major mining and infrastructure projects in the resource-rich province, including the deep-water Gwadar port, all part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). At the start of the video, a masked gunman addresses China. Speaking in English he says: "President of China ... you still have time to get out of Balochistan, otherwise you will be taken out of Balochistan in such a way that you will never forget."
Shortly afterwards, schoolteacher Shari Hayat Baloch, 30, is filmed walking in a park with her young son and daughter and later addressing the camera in combat fatigues. Smiling and calm, the 30-year-old thanks fellow Baloch separatist fighters for giving her the "opportunity" to become the movement's first female suicide bomber.
CONCERNS IN BEIJING A team of Chinese officials travelled to Pakistan to assist in investigations, the interior ministry said, a sign of the seriousness Beijing attaches to the attack. The visit has not been previously reported.
The Chinese officials supported Pakistan's counter-terrorism forces in areas such as CCTV footage enhancement and data retrieval from cell phones, the ministry said. The team left in late August after spending nearly two months trawling through tens of thousands of data files, according to four Pakistani sources directly involved in the probe. The leads they found helped Pakistani authorities zero in on the main suspect in the university attack, who was arrested in July.
China's foreign ministry did not reply to queries from Reuters. It has previously condemned the April 26 attack and demanded that Pakistan punish the perpetrators, protect Chinese citizens and prevent such incidents from happening again. Security for Beijing's interests in Pakistan will be on the agenda during a visit by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to China this week, where he will be one of the first leaders to meet President Xi Jinping after he secured a third term in office.
PATH TO SUICIDE Hayat - a science teacher who had a masters degree in Zoology - was planning to enrol in a second masters degree at the time she detonated explosives in her rucksack as a minivan carrying the three Chinese teachers drove by, police said.
The four officials involved in the probe said interviews with dozens of students, friends and relatives indicated that her path to radicalisation began at the university in the Balochistan capital Quetta through the Baloch Students Organization (BSO). "It may be difficult to know exactly what provoked her to join the Baloch armed struggle," said an undated counter-terrorism department report on Hayat seen by Reuters.
"However, she remained a member of the Baloch Students Organization Azad in her student life," it said. Unlike the broader BSO, its breakaway faction BSO Azad is banned by authorities who see it as an extreme wing of the Baloch campus movement.
Two BSO officials contacted by Reuters declined comment. BSO Azad remains underground, and Reuters was unable to contact any of its senior leaders for comment. The BLA, also a banned organisation, did not respond to e-mailed requests for comment.
Two members of staff at Quetta University confirmed to Reuters that Hayat had been active in the BSO Azad when she studied Zoology there from 2011 to 2014. They declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject. One of them recalled that the man Hayat later married, Habitan Baloch, was a leading figure in BSO Azad at the time.
BRAINWASHING The four officials said another influential figure in Hayat's life appeared to be Karima Baloch, a leading Baloch activist who featured in the BBC's list of 100 inspirational and influential women in 2016.
Karima moved to Canada that year after saying she had received threats in Pakistan. Her body was found in the waters off Toronto in late 2020, an event that the officials believe prompted Hayat to join the BLA militants. Toronto police have said they believed Karima's death to be a non-criminal matter.
According to two of the Pakistani investigators, as part of brainwashing, the wife of a slain former leader of the BLA spent time with Hayat and introduced her to families of people who had disappeared or whose bodies were found after they had gone missing. On the day of the Karachi attack, Habitan, a dentist, tweeted that he was "beaming with pride" at what his wife had done.
The post has since been removed and Pakistani authorities say they do not know the whereabouts of Habitan or the couple's children. Reuters could not reach him via his social media profiles or relatives. Hayat's father, Mohammed Hayat, a retired civil servant, told Reuters: "In our families, everyone talks about the resistance, that's a normal thing. I never knew that she could ever have extremist inclinations."
Following the bombing, Pakistani law enforcement agencies detained at least seven Baloch students across the country who were suspected of being involved. All have since been released, a top counter-terrorism official said.
Pakistan has long blamed old enemy India for supporting the Balochistan insurgency. India, which has fought wars with both Pakistan and China, denies the charge. KEY SUSPECT
The four officials said China's data analysis helped lead investigators to a man they say played a key role in coordinating the Karachi attack. Dad Bukhsh, a 26-year-old Baloch separatist wanted by authorities for suspected involvement in previous attacks on Chinese targets, travelled from Karachi to the Afghan city of Kandahar in December, 2020, according to the officials.
There he received training in bomb making and armed combat and met several leaders of the Baloch insurgency who were in neighbouring Afghanistan at the time, the officials added. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, who were fighting their own insurgency against Western forces at that time, declined to comment on Bukhsh's activities. Reuters could not independently verify his alleged role in the April bombing.
According to two of the sources, Bukhsh returned to Karachi in July, 2021, and began to scope out the KANUPP nuclear plant, which is being expanded with Chinese technology and manpower and was considered a potential target for attack. The interior ministry did not respond to a question on any potential KANUPP attack.
When the facility proved inaccessible, Bukhsh was invited by a BLA operative to meet Habitan, who communicated to him that the new target was to be Chinese teachers at Karachi University, the sources involved in the probe said. Bukhsh enrolled in an English language course in a campus adjacent to the university in order to trace their daily movements.
In January, Hayat arrived in Karachi from Balochistan, and she and her husband moved from property to property over the following weeks as they prepared for the attack. On April 24, two days before the bombing, Habitan and Bukhsh left the city and went to Balochistan, according to the officials. Bukhsh returned to Karachi soon after making an alibi that he wasn't in the city on the day of the attack.
Murtaza Wahab, an adviser to the provincial government in Sindh of which Karachi is the capital, said a joint team of counter-terrorism and intelligence agencies worked on different leads that resulted in Bukhsh's arrest in the city in July. Police have filed charges against Bukhsh in an anti-terrorism court, government prosecutor Zulfikar Ali Mahar told Reuters. He is in custody, and does not yet have a lawyer. Reuters was not able to contact him.
Bukhsh will be tried on terrorism charges for killing Chinese nationals and launching an attack against the state's interests, Mahar said, adding, "We are waiting for the court to give us a date to start his trial."

PM accepts demands
The Prime Minister, Mrs Indira Gandhi, may accept some demands of the Akalis before November 4 — the deadline fixed by the Akalis for the announcement of the next phase of their agitation. Mrs Gandhi’s announcement may be made on November I, the birthday of Guru Nanak and also the day when Punjab was reorganised in 1966. It is possible the transfer of Chandigarh to Punjab may also be announced along with some of the religious demands.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has done it again: Twenty years after first winning the Brazilian presidency, the leftist defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro Sunday in an extremely tight election that marks an about-face for the country after four years of far-right politics.
With more than 99% of the votes tallied in the runoff vote, da Silva had 50.9% and Bolsonaro 49.1%, and the election authority said da Silva’s victory was a mathematical certainty.
It is a stunning reversal for da Silva, 77, whose 2018 imprisonment over a corruption scandal sidelined him from the 2018 election that brought Bolsonaro, a defender of conservative social values, to power.
Da Silva is promising to govern beyond his leftist Workers’s Party. He wants to bring in centrists and even some leaning to the right who voted for him for the first time, and to restore the country’s more prosperous past. Yet he faces headwinds in a politically polarized society where economic growth is slowing and inflation is soaring.
His victory marks the first time since Brazil’s 1985 return to democracy that the sitting president has failed to win reelection. The highly polarized election in Latin America’s biggest economy extended a wave of recent leftist victories in the region, including Chile, Colombia and Argentina.
Da Silva’s inauguration is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1. He last served as president from 2003-2010.
It was the country’s closest election in over three decades. Just over 2 million votes separated the two candidates with 99.5% of the vote counted. The previous closest race, in 2014, was decided by a margin of 3.46 million votes.
Thomas Traumann, an independent political analyst, compared the results to U.S. President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, saying da Silva is inheriting an extremely divided nation.
“The huge challenge that Lula has will be to pacify the country,” he said. “People are not only polarized on political matters, but also have different values, identity and opinions. What’s more, they don’t care what the other side’s values, identities and opinions are.”
Bolsonaro had been leading throughout the first half of the count and, as soon as da Silva overtook him, cars in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo began honking their horns. People in the streets of Rio de Janeiro’s Ipanema neighborhood could be heard shouting, “It turned!”
Da Silva’s headquarters in downtown Sao Paulo hotel only erupted once the final result was announced, underscoring the tension that was a hallmark of this race.
“Four years waiting for this,” said Gabriela Souto, one of the few supporters allowed in due to heavy security.
Outside Bolsonaro’s home in Rio de Janeiro, ground-zero for his support base, a woman atop a truck delivered a prayer over a speaker, then sang excitedly, trying to generate some energy. But supporters decked out in the green and yellow of the flag barely responded. Many perked up when the national anthem played, singing along loudly with hands over their hearts.
Most opinion polls before the election gave a lead to da Silva, universally known as Lula, though political analysts agreed the race grew increasingly tight in recent weeks.

U.S. plans to deploy B-52 bombers to Australia's north-ABC report
The United States has drawn up detailed plans for what it calls a "squadron operations facility" for use during the Northern Territory dry season, an adjoining maintenance centre and a parking area for the B-52s, the ABC report said. The ability to deploy the long-range bombers to Australia sends a strong message to adversaries about Washington's ability to project lethal air power, the U.S. Air Force was quoted as saying in the report.
- Country:
- Australia
The United States is planning to deploy up to six nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to an air base in northern Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC) reported on Monday, a move which could further inflame tensions with Beijing. Dedicated facilities for the bombers will be set up at Australian air force's remote Tindal base, about 300 km (190 miles) south of Darwin, the capital of Australia's Northern territory, ABC's Four Corners programme reported, citing U.S. documents.
Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles' office did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment. The United States has drawn up detailed plans for what it calls a "squadron operations facility" for use during the Northern Territory dry season, an adjoining maintenance centre and a parking area for the B-52s, the ABC report said.
The ability to deploy the long-range bombers to Australia sends a strong message to adversaries about Washington's ability to project lethal air power, the U.S. Air Force was quoted as saying in the report. Australia's Northern Territory already hosts frequent military collaborations with the United States. Thousands of U.S. marines rotate through the territory annually for training and joint exercises, first started under President Obama.
Earlier this year, the U.S. deployed four B-52s to its Andersen Air Force base in Guam. Last year, the United States, Britain and Australia created a security deal that will provide Australia with the technology to deploy nuclear-powered submarines, riling China.
Putting B-52s in Australia, that could reach and potentially attack mainland China, will be a warning to Beijing, as fears grow on an assault on Taiwan, Becca Wasser, senior fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based Centre for a New American Security, told the ABC.

A picture and its story: Fire-bombing of a seaside English migrant centre
In a final attempt, the attacker boarded a white SEAT sports utility vehicle and threw what appeared to be another improvised explosive device from the car window at the facility, which Nicholls photographed. The man sped away, driving the wrong way down the road, Nicholls said.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
"I heard this bang and I thought it was a bird scarer," Reuters photographer Peter Nicholls recalls, describing the moment a man fire-bombed the gates of a centre for processing migrants in the English port of Dover and then took his own life. It was a dreary day in the south coast town and Nicholls was taking pictures to illustrate a story on tension between Britain and France over who should handle thousands of migrants who make the dangerous trip over the English Channel each year.
Nicholls was driving away from the centre when he heard the bang. He turned his car around and saw the outer gates of the facility on fire and Border Force staff retreating as fireworks went off outside. He saw a man in a checked shirt sliding plastic canisters of flammable liquid, attached to lit fireworks, along the ground towards the facility.
"He was running around with his arms in the air and shouting," said Nicholls, unsure at first whether a strange practical joke was underway. Reuters could not confirm the identity of the attacker nor any motive.
Local police said in a statement that they had identified the individual and had found "two to three" incendiary devices thrown from outside the premises by a single suspect. Two minor injuries were reported. The Dover facility is the first stop for many of those who arrive by boat from France, before they are sent to other accommodation while their claims to stay are reviewed.
Britain wants France to deter these journeys, while human rights campaigners say asylum seekers face inhumane conditions in British detention centres. At least one of the devices failed to catch fire. In a final attempt, the attacker boarded a white SEAT sports utility vehicle and threw what appeared to be another improvised explosive device from the car window at the facility, which Nicholls photographed.
The man sped away, driving the wrong way down the road, Nicholls said. Military personnel appeared shortly thereafter to extinguish the fire. Seconds later, Nicholls heard two more bangs and saw smoke coming from a nearby petrol station.
He drove around the corner and found the attacker there, dead in his car. The man's head was visible, poking out of the opened rear window behind the driver's seat. One end of an orange strap had been tied around his neck and was pulled taut, the other anchored to a metal pole.
The police arrived on the scene at the same time and later covered the car and body with a tarpaulin. Hours later they confirmed the death. "From calm, to chaos, to the completion with his death - it was less than five minutes," Nicholls said. (Writing by Andy Bruce; Editing by Daniel Wallis)

Car bombs at busy Somalia market intersection killed at least 100, president says
The two car bombs that exploded at Somalia's education ministry next to a busy market intersection killed at least 100 people and wounded 300, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said on Sunday, warning the death toll could rise.
The two car bombs that exploded at Somalia's education ministry next to a busy market intersection killed at least 100 people and wounded 300, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said on Sunday, warning the death toll could rise. Saturday's attack was the deadliest since a truck bomb exploded at the same intersection in October 2017, killing more than 500 people.
The al Qaeda-linked Islamist group al Shabaab claimed responsibility, saying the ministry was at the centre of a "war on minds" that teaches Somali children using a Christian-based syllabus. Members of the security forces were among the dead and injured, its statement emailed to media said. Al Shabaab, which is seeking to topple the government and establish its own rule based on an extreme interpretation of Islamic law, frequently stages attacks in Mogadishu and elsewhere.
The first of the explosions hit the education ministry at around 2 p.m. on Saturday. The second hit minutes later as ambulances arrived and people gathered to help the victims. Mohamed Moalim, who owns a small restaurant near the intersection, said his wife, Fardawsa Mohamed, a mother of six, rushed to the scene after the first explosion to try to help.
"We failed to stop her," he said. "She was killed by the second blast." President Mohamud said some of the wounded were in a serious condition and the death toll could rise.
"Our people who were massacred ... included mothers with their children in their arms, fathers who had medical conditions, students who were sent to study, businessmen who were struggling with the lives of their families," he said after visiting the scene. The K5 intersection normally teems with people buying and selling everything from food, clothing and water to foreign currency and khat, a mild narcotic leaf. But it was quiet on Sunday, with emergency workers still cleaning blood from the streets and buildings.
Somalia's international partners condemned the attack and sent condolences to affected families. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement on Sunday the United States "strongly condemns the tragic terrorist attack" and it remains "committed to supporting the Federal Government of Somalia in its fight to prevent such callous terrorist acts." A spokesperson for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement that he "strongly condemns these heinous attacks and reiterates that the United Nations stands in solidarity with Somalia against violent extremism."
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted that his organization was ready to provide support to the government to care for the injured. "These senseless attacks against innocent civilians including women and children only serve to remind us of the group's barbarity towards its own people and reveals the true hypocrisy of its intent," the European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said in a statement.
The chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, urged the international community to "redouble its efforts to ensure robust international support to Somalia's institutions in their struggle to defeat terrorist groups". With support from the United States and allied local militias, the president has launched an offensive against the group, although results have been limited.
Abdullahi Aden said his friend, Ilyas Mohamed Warsame, was killed while travelling in his three-wheeled "tuk tuk" taxi to see relatives before returning to his home in Britain. "We recognised the number plate of the tuk tuk, which was now rubble," Aden said.
"Exhausted and desperate, we found his body at midnight last night in hospital," he said. "I can't get the image out of my mind."
