Houston, you have a problem - the Texans are pretenders. After seemingly righting the ship last Monday night with a convincing 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Texans lost to the 2-8 Tennessee Titans at home and gave up 32 points in the process. Now, they have lost three of their last four games, dropping their own record to 7-5 and making things much harder on themselves than they need to be. And while they will almost certainly still win the AFC East, the bigger goal is a run to the Super Bowl, and this does not look like a team capable of making such a run. The Texans allowed Will Levis to throw for over 11 yards per attempt and two scores while Tony Pollard racked up 119 yards on five yards per carry. And even when it seemed they were on their way to coming back from a 17-7 deficit and coming out of Week 12 with an 8-4 record, their own ineptitude got in the way. Jimmie Ward seemed swing all momentum back in the favor of Houston with a pick-six at the tail end of the third quarter to put the Texans up 24-23, which was followed by a quick four-play-and-punt drive from the Titans. The Texans got another break when the Titans fumbled a punt following a three-and-out and set them up in plus territory. However, they settled for a field goal, which was immediately followed by a 70-yard touchdown pass from Levis to Chig Okonkwo on the Titans' first play on eht ensuing drive. The Texans had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth, but Ka'imi Fairbairn shanked a 28-yard field goal. And on their last gasp with less than two minutes left, C.J. Stroud took a safety to officially put the game out of reach. And speaking of Stroud, his play has been the most concerning part of this stretch. He threw two interceptions in the loss, and has five in his last three games, Overall this season, he has just 12 touchdown passes to seven interceptions and his 54.5 QBR ranks 23rd in the NFL. On top of that, Houston's pass protection has been abysmal this season, with Stroud being sacked 35 times. And in a conference when you have to get through the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, and defensively-strong wildcards like the Steelers and Chargers, this Texans team has a lot to get right before January if they want to have any shot of playing in New Orleans come February.

Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was “compromised.” Host Dana Bash said, “Let’s turn to former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who the president elect tapped to serve as Director of National Intelligence. She’s a critic of U.S. intelligence operations. She has promoted Russian propaganda. Your fellow Democrat, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, called her, ‘likely a Russian asset.’ Now, you and Tulsi Gabbard are both veterans. You served with her in the House what do you think of her?” Duckworth said, “Well, I think she’s compromised. I think by going to Syria and basically um, backing you know, a brutal dictator there. I mean Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset. So I do think that we have a real deep concern whether or not she’s a compromised person.” She added, “The U.S. intelligence community has identified her as having troubling relationships with America’s foes. So my worry is that she couldn’t pass a background check.” Bash said, “So you know, you are a Democrat. You are in the minority now in the United States Senate. If she can find the votes among Republicans likely to get confirmed, it sounds like that would worry you to have her in that job.” Duckworth said, “Very much so. She has no intelligence background whatsoever. When she was inIraq she was a medical records clerk A-4 below the rank of sergeant. Her second deployment was actually to Kuwaiti naval base, where she only spent three months training the Kuwaiti military. I don’t know of any intelligence work that she has done. So she is in terms of the intelligence community, very unqualified. Plus she is potentially compromised and could be and has is there questions about whether or not she is now a Russian asset.” She added, “I think that she is someone who is wholly backing and supportive of Putin, and I worry that she will not have America’s best interests at heart.” Follow Pam Key on X @pamkeyNENWATCH: Cowboys pull off stunning win after Commanders shockingly miss extra point following miracle 86-yard TD
A passenger aboard a domestic Volaris flight on Sunday morning attempted to hijack and forcibly divert the aircraft to the United States, prompting an emergency landing in Guadalajara and the man’s subsequent arrest. The individual — a 31-year-old Mexican national identified as Mario “N” — was traveling from Leon, Guanajuato, to Tijuana, Baja California, with his wife and two children when the incident unfolded. According to authorities, Mario assaulted a flight attendant and attempted to breach the cockpit, citing a recent kidnapping of a close relative and a death threat as motivations for his actions. Crew members and at least one passenger subdued the suspect while the pilot issued an alert code and diverted the Airbus A320 to Guadalajara International Airport. Authorities, including the National Guard (GN), arrested Mario upon landing and transferred him to the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) for further investigation. His legal status will be determined by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR). “The crew subdued the aggressor in accordance with established security protocols,” Volaris said in a statement. At the Guadalajara airport, “GN personnel were already waiting for him.” The passengers and crew later continued on to Tijuana. “All passengers, crew and the aircraft are safe,” read a Volaris statement that was posted to the social media site X . Volaris also announced it had formally filed a complaint to ensure the suspect faces legal consequences. According to the authorities, the suspect said that upon taking off from León, he received a message that threatened either his own life or his kidnapped relative’s life — it’s not quite clear — if Mario traveled to Tijuana. According to witness reports, Mario grabbed a flight attendant, threatened her with a pen against her neck, and grabbed the handle to the plane’s door, saying he would jump to his death and take the flight attendant with him. Another passenger reportedly played a pivotal role in defusing the situation by persuading Mario to release the flight attendant and surrender peacefully. This person said no security personnel were present, and that it was he, with the help of other passengers, who managed to contain the attack. One witness said the man managed to get the plane door cracked open as passengers could be heard screaming, crying and pleading with him not to open it. Videos of the incident appear to confirm that account. Another witness said the suspect initially told passengers that he wanted to attract attention because his wife had been kidnapped and was seeking political asylum in the United States. Authorities noted that the state of Guanajuato, the flight’s departure point, is a region heavily affected by cartel violence , including extortion and kidnapping. It remains unclear if the threats Mario said he had received were connected to organized crime.

Pieter-Steph du Toit named men’s World Rugby Player of the Year after monumental seasonThe incoming head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, blasted FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday for what he called “failed” leadership of the law-enforcement agency and said it was time for Wray to leave. In a letter to Wray that repeated many of President-elect Donald Trump’s complaints about the FBI, Grassley, R-Iowa, criticized the FBI search of Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago , which recovered missing classified documents and led to federal charges against the former president , as “invasive and unwarranted.” Grassley also faulted the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election for targeting Trump after not similarly scrutinizing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and for failing to provide more information about alleged sexual misconduct at the agency. “These failures, are serious enough and their pattern widespread enough to have shattered my confidence in your leadership and the confidence and hope many others in Congress placed in you,” Grassley wrote in the 11-page letter. Trump appointed Wray, who has served seven years of a 10-year term. But Trump has been critical of Wray for years. After being reelected to the White House, Trump named Kash Patel, a former national security official, to succeed Wray as FBI director, implying that he plans to fire Wray. Grassley said Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate should each leave. “For the good of the country, it’s time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives,” Grassley wrote. The FBI issued a statement saying the agency has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to responding to congressional oversight. "Director Wray and Deputy Director Abbate have taken strong actions toward achieving accountability in the areas mentioned in the letter and remain committed to sharing information about the continuously evolving threat environment facing our nation and the extraordinary work of the FBI," the statement said. Grassley’s letter comes a month before he reclaims the chairmanship of the committee that oversees the FBI, due to Republicans' flipping control of the Senate in the recent election. Grassley would lead the potential confirmation hearing for Patel. Patel, who advised the director of the national intelligence and the defense secretary during Trump’s first term, is a polarizing choice to lead the FBI. Republican supporters such as House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana said he will bring a needed overhaul to the agency. But Patel has threatened to investigate Trump’s political enemies and shut down FBI’s headquarters in Washington to decentralize workers across the country. Bill Barr, a former attorney general for Trump, wrote in his memoir Patel’s appointment as deputy director of the FBI would happen “over my dead body.” Trump refused to confirm on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he would fire Wray, whom he appointed seven years ago, but said Patel would take his place. Trump criticized Wray for the 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, when FBI agents seized thousands of documents including hundreds classified records. Trump was charged with unlawfully retaining national defense records after leaving the White House, but a judge dismissed those charges in July on the grounds that the investigation was run by a special counsel whose appointment was ruled invalid. “I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home. I’m suing the country over it,” Trump said about Wray. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done.” Trump also complained that Wray initially testified at a House hearing the former president might have been hit in the ear by shrapnel rather than a bullet during an assassination attempt in July in Butler, Pa. Wray clarified the next day that Trump was struck by a bullet. “Where’s the shrapnel coming from?” Trump asked facetiously. “Is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so.” Grassley echoed several of Trump’s complaints about the FBI. The Mar-a-Lago raid occurred 18 months after Trump left office. Agents found boxes of records stashed around the property in unsecured locations, including a restroom. But Grassley wrote that Trump was cooperating because he had returned 15 boxes of records voluntarily. “This raid occurred despite serious questions about the need for it,” Grassley said. Trump has long complained about the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election before Wray took the agency’s helm. Grassley wrote the FBI failed to vet derogatory information to obtain a search warrant for a Trump campaign aide. Grassley called the lapse “some of the most egregious, Orwellian conduct I’ve witnessed” in nearly 50 years in Congress. An inspector general blasted the wiretapping program . Wray overhauled training and how warrants are obtained from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, but defended the need for the surveillance program . Grassley also slammed the FBI after a Justice Department review found 665 former FBI employees, including 45 members of the senior executive staff, retired or resigned from 2004 to 2020 after allegations of sexual misconduct and before final disciplinary records were issued. Grassley said the FBI failed to provide more information about the allegations despite public pledges to do so. “Contrary to the assurances you made to gain confirmation to your position, the FBI has shown outright disdain for congressional oversight during your tenure,” Grassley wrote. “You didn’t live up to your word.”

The Ikon Allah Boys were held to a goalless draw by Ikorodu City at the Bako Kontagora Stadium , Minna, on Saturday.
