A dose of Aaron Rodgers is exactly what the Buffalo Bills’ defense needed. The aging New York Jets quarterback looked fairly disinterested in being at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, and the Bills took full advantage in a 40-14 win that clinched the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and improved their record to 13-3. Led by a dominant performance from edge rusher Greg Rousseau, the Bills’ defense produced a season low yards allowed. They were flirting with a shutout, or at least a season low in points allowed, until the Jets scored two late touchdowns with Tyrod Taylor at the controls against a defense with mostly backups in the game. (The Bills' season low for points allowed is 10, set in five separate games.) Members of the Bills' defense celebrate cornerback Christian Benford's interception in the third quarter of their big win Sunday over the Jets. Through the first three quarters, the Jets had seven offensive possessions. Here is how each of them ended: Turnover on downs, interception, safety, punt, interception, punt, lost fumble. The last time the Bills had a defensive safety, recovered an opposing fumble and had two or more interceptions in the same game was the 1998 season. Here is a closer look at how some of those Jets drives ended: • New York’s first drive was one of its best, reaching the Bills’ 24-yard line. On fourth-and-1, the Jets kept their offense on the field and went for it, but running back Braelon Allen was dropped for no gain by Rousseau, who darted into the backfield. • Rousseau played a big part in stopping the Jets’ second drive, too. He tipped a Rodgers pass into the air, and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips was there to make the interception. It was the second career interception for Phillips, and it led to a funny comment from former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick via X. During Week 8 of the 2016 season, Phillips – who was playing then for the Dolphins – intercepted Fitzpatrick, who was playing for the Jets. “You are not alone ARod I also threw a pick to Jordan Phillips while playing for the Jets” Fitzpatrick tweeted. The Bills have three interceptions by defensive tackles this season, with Phillips joining Austin Johnson, who has two of them. That's the most by any NFL team since the 2011 Miami Dolphins. • Rodgers was sacked for a safety by A.J. Epenesa with 2:31 remaining in the second quarter. Epenesa blew by Jets backup left tackle Max Mitchell on his way into the backfield, and Rodgers had nowhere to escape. • The Jets’ fifth drive ended when cornerback Christian Benford stepped in front of Jets receiver Allen Lazard to pick off Rodgers. At the end of the play, Rodgers shoved Benford after the Bills’ cornerback was out of bounds, tacking 15 yards for a late hit onto the play. • The next Jets turnover came when wide receiver Garrett Wilson was stripped by defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Linebacker Matt Milano was there to recover the fumble. The play was originally ruled a touchdown, but Milano was ruled to have been touched by Rodgers. That might have been the only remotely positive thing the Jets’ quarterback in an otherwise miserable showing. The Bills’ defense badly needed a get-right game after a few tough showings in recent weeks. Sunday's result should leave them feeling good as the team prepares for the regular-season finale against New England next week – and more importantly, the postseason. Here are some other observations from the Bills’ big win: 2. Amari Cooper came down with a great touchdown grab. It had been a couple quiet games in a row for Cooper, but he made his presence felt in the third quarter, coming down with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen with 5:13 remaining that extended the Bills’ lead to 19-0 and effectively put the game away. Cooper was shaken up on the play after a hard landing and was evaluated for a head injury but eventually cleared. He finished with three catches for 56 yards and in the process reached 10,000 career receiving yards. He joined two-time All-Pro Julio Jones as the only wide receivers from Alabama to reach that milestone in the NFL. Cooper moved past former Bills wide receiver Eric Moulds and became the 57th player in NFL history to have at least 10,000 career receiving yards. Cooper now has 10,033 receiving yards. Moulds finished his career with 9,995. 3. Josh Allen made history. The Bills’ franchise quarterback finished 16 of 27 for 182 yards and two passing touchdowns and also rushed five times for 17 yards and a rushing touchdown. In doing so, Allen became the first player in NFL history to have at least 40 total touchdowns in a season for five straight years. No other player has done it more than three times. 4. The defense got some reinforcements. Safety Taylor Rapp (neck) and cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) were back in the lineup after each of them missed the previous two games because of injury. Milano was also back after missing last week’s win over New England because of a groin injury. 5. It was a flag fest. The first half alone included 12 accepted penalties, six against each team. The penalties against the Bills cost them 55 yards, while the Jets lost 42 yards. The Bills got better in the second half, getting flagged just once for a loss of 5 yards. The Jets, however, continued to take penalties, finishing the game with a ridiculous 16 for a loss of 120 yards. In the teams' first meeting Oct. 14, there were 22 accepted penalties. There were 23 penalties Sunday – 16 against the Jets, seven against the Bills. 6. James Cook neared a record. The Bills’ running back scored a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter with 1:15 remaining. It was his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, tying Allen in 2023 for the second-most in a single season. Cook has one game left to tie or possibly surpass O.J. Simpson’s record of 16 rushing touchdowns, set in the 1975 season. 7. Tyrell Shavers got into the action. Promoted from the practice squad Saturday, Shavers made his first career catch in the fourth quarter. He took it 69 yards to the house for his first career touchdown, too. Shavers is the 13th Bill to catch a touchdown this season, which ties the all-time NFL record. 8. Alec Anderson went down with an injury. The Bills’ sixth offensive lineman, who enters the game in their often-used “jumbo package,” was hurt with 14:13 left in the second quarter. (Adding insult to injury, Anderson was flagged for holding on the play.) He was down for a minute or so before being able to jog off the field. Trainers taped up Anderson’s left ankle on the sideline, and he was cleared to return. Anderson was shaken up again midway through the fourth quarter but again jogged off the field. 9. Damar Hamlin was still out. The team’s starting safety missed his third straight game because of a rib injury. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel, dealing with a rib injury of his own, missed his second straight game. 10. Kaiir Elam was inactive. The team’s 2022 first-round draft pick had started the past two games with Douglas injured, but went back to being a healthy inactive against the Jets. Joining him as healthy inactives against New York were linebacker Nicholas Morrow, rookie offensive tackle Tylan Grable, defensive tackle Austin Johnson and safety Lewis Cine are the Bills' healthy inactive players. Cine was promoted from the practice squad Saturday. Cornerback Sauce Gardner, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and wide receiver Davante Adams were active for New York despite having been listed as questionable Friday. Gardner, however, left the game in the third quarter because of a hamstring injury. The Jets' inactives included cornerbacks Jarrick Bernard-Converse, Kendall Sheffield, Qwan'tez Stiggers, safety Jaylin Simpson, kicker Anders Carlson and edge rusher Braiden McGregor.

The new Queensland premier met with colleagues at Parliament House from about 4pm on Monday before the first sitting day this week. “The first thing we’re going to be discussing is the Making Queensland Safer laws,” Crisafulli said. “There’s a lot of hard work to do in the next couple of weeks. “I want Queenslanders to know we’re serious about serving them and being a good government.” Housing Minister Clare O’Neil has welcomed the passage of the government’s key housing policy, while acknowledging there’s more work to do. In questioning O’Neil, Nine’s host Sarah Abo noted that the 40,000 people who would be assisted over four years via the help-to-buy scheme “barely skims the surface” when considering that “there is not a single city or region across Australia where the average income earner can even afford to buy a house right now”. O’Neil agreed the policy was “not a silver bullet” but that “it was never meant to be”. “One of the things I want your viewers to know, is just be really wary about the snake oil salesmen in this housing debate who are pretending that there’s one thing we can do to fix the whole problem,” O’Neil said. “The truth is, we’ve had generations-in-the-making housing crisis in our country that’s been building for more than 30 years, and it requires our government to do lots of things differently.” O’Neil said the government was trying to build more homes, get a better deal for renters, and help more Australians into homeownership. “It’s a big, complex program and it’s going to take some time.” Read more about the A 1100-kilometre transmission line connecting the North-West Minerals Province to the electricity grid near Townsville could cost up to $9 billion to build. That is the latest price tag put on Copperstring 2032 by government-owned corporation Powerlink, as Nine News political reporter Tim Arvier reported on Monday night. The $9 billion includes a $2 billion contingency, and capitalised interest costs of $800 million, and follows a previous cost blowout to $6.2 billion, announced by the then Labor government in August. While documents provided to the LNP government suggest Powerlink made the higher estimate in August, Labor told Arvier that Treasury was behind the estimate of $6.2 billion. The bill to ban social media for children under 16 will be a “test” for Peter Dutton’s leadership, says Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth. Speaking on Nine’s , Rishworth said there was bipartisan support for the bill, but that Dutton was losing control of his caucus. “Just a couple of weeks ago, Peter Dutton said he would facilitate this important piece of legislation and support the government. And now we see our senators defying him,” she said. “So this is a test for Peter Dutton and his leadership.” Also on was Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie, who said there were still concerns about digital ID laws and privacy. “We do want strong, robust laws to protect kids under 16 on social media platforms. “We’ve been out of the blocks before the government on this. We need to get the legislation right so it does actually get the outcomes we want. “And we need to make sure that those protections exist in the legislation.” Read more about the debate within the Social media companies, including Snapchat, TikTok, and Meta, have taken aim at the “rushed” consultation process for the ban on children under 16. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland introduced the world-leading reform to parliament last Thursday, which she said would make the online environment better for young people. The consultation period for groups and individuals to make submissions closed on Friday. A Senate committee held a one-day hearing on Monday and is due to report back on Tuesday. In submissions to the inquiry, several groups, including social media companies, pointed to the short notice period. Snap Inc. wrote that “the extremely compressed timeline” had allowed stakeholders little more than 24 hours to provide a response, which “severely” constrained thorough analysis and informed debate. X, formerly Twitter, also criticised the “unreasonably short time frame of one day”, writing that it has “serious concerns as to the lawfulness of the bill”. Meta, which owns Facebook, wrote that there had been “minimal consultation or engagement” and urged the government to wait for the results of the age assurance trial before progressing with the legislation. TikTok said that despite the “time-limited review”, there was a range of “serious, unresolved problems” that the government must clarify to ensure there wouldn’t be unintended consequences for all Australians.

Addison Mack of Minnehaha Academy becomes second girls basketball player in Minnesota history to surpass 4,000 pointsThomas Sorber collected 22 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks to pace Georgetown to an 83-53 win against shorthanded Coppin State on Saturday afternoon in Washington, D.C. The Hoyas pulled away from the Eagles with a 21-2 run early in the second half. Georgetown held Coppin State to 22 percent shooting in the second half and 18 percent from behind the arc. Georgetown (11-2) is off to its best start since the 2011-12 season. Drew Fielder recorded 20 points and 13 rebounds while Malik Mack had 15 points and 11 assists for the Hoyas. Georgetown played without its leading scorer Jayden Epps, who missed the game with a lower-body injury. Toby Nnadozie scored 22 points and Julius Ellerbe III added 12 to go along with six steals for the Eagles (1-13). The Hoyas' decisive second-half run started with Caleb Williams' steal that led to a Fielder lay up as Georgetown took 49-37 lead. Moments later, Fielder's turnaround in the lane put the Hoyas up 56-37. Sorber's jam with 6:36 left gave Georgetown a 67-41 advantage. The pesky Eagles rattled off a 7-0 run but got no closer than 19 points the rest of the game. The Eagles played without three of their top four scorers but forced 14 Georgetown turnovers in the first half and hit 5-of-8 3-pointers. Ellerbe corralled a loose ball near half court and distributed it to Nnadozie who converted a contested layup to pull CSU within 12-11. But the Hoyas held a 24-10 rebounding edge in the first half as Sorber and Fielder were a force inside the paint. The Hoyas created separation as Sorber worked the high-low game with a catch in the lane and a left finger roll for a 25-15 Hoyas' lead with 8:40 left in the first half. Zahree Harrison's 3-pointer kept the dogged visitors close and capped a 5-0 run that cut the Georgetown lead to 25-20. Nnadozie closed the first half with a 3-pointer and the Hoyas held a 37-30 lead. --Field Level Media

Appalachian State hires South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains as head coachColumn: A school board member falls for doing the right thing

The newly signed intelligence-sharing pact between the Philippines and the United States is off to a roaring start but perhaps not in the way either side intended. Shortly after the signing of the General Security of Military Information Agreement, the United States’ defense chief shared information—on social media no less—that the public hadn’t known about and Philippine defense officials had apparently not been inclined to discuss publicly: the existence of a “US Task Force Ayungin” in the West Philippine Sea. Following his visit to the Western Command (Wescom) headquarters in Palawan province on Nov. 19, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III took to X (formerly Twitter) to say he met with “some American service members deployed to US Task Force Ayungin, and I thanked them for their hard work on behalf of the American people and our alliances and partnerships in this region.” Austin’s post triggered a flurry of headlines, as it was the first time such a task force had been mentioned by any official, American or Filipino. To no one’s surprise, the attention was focused on one word: Ayungin. Known internationally as Second Thomas Shoal, Ayungin is a shallow feature located some 200 kilometers west of Palawan in the West Philippine Sea, or Manila’s name for the waters within its 370-km exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, and a source of contention between the Philippines and China. To China’s annoyance, the country stakes its claims to the shoal through the decrepit Navy warship BRP Sierra Madre grounded there since 1999 and which hosts a small contingent of Filipino marines and sailors. But rotation and resupply (Rore) missions to deliver sustenance or replacements for the troops are routinely obstructed by Chinese vessels using water cannons and military-grade lasers. In July, the National Security Council emphasized that the Rore trips would remain a “purely Philippine operation,” following overtures from Washington to allow its forces to escort Philippine ships to prevent, or thwart, Chinese bullying. But Austin’s X post appears to belie Manila’s claim that Rore missions have zero foreign involvement. Reached by email, a Pentagon spokesperson told the Inquirer that the little-known task force was composed of US “forces providing our Philippines allies with enhanced cooperation and interoperability for their maritime operations.” The task force, according to Maj. Pete Nguyen, provides support to Filipino troops in planning and training with the Wescom for systems provided through US security assistance, such as unmanned surface vessels. “US forces have decades of close partnership with the Philippines. This task force is a continuation of that longstanding relationship in support of our shared security interests,” he said. The US Embassy in Manila, for its part, said the task force enabled US forces to support activities of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the South China Sea “to address regional challenges, foster stability, and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific region.” If that sounds vague, just listen to the explanations from Philippine security and military officials. In a statement, the AFP said US support “enhances our capability in maritime domain awareness, a critical task that aids in planning and implementing programs and activities to protect our interests in the West Philippine Sea.” National Security Adviser Secretary Eduardo Año said the Americans’ role was limited to “providing support to us, for example, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, [and] maritime domain awareness so they are helping by giving information.” He insisted that the US task force, despite its name, had no participation in Rore missions, which were solely a Philippine operation led by Wescom and supported by the Philippine Coast Guard. But one wonders: Was this task force already formed during the series of Chinese attacks on Rore missions? No answer was forthcoming, as Año said the matter was “internal to the side of the US.” But American security expert Ray Powell said his contacts told him “this is not a new task force, but was just made public with Secretary Austin’s visit.” If that were the case, then why were Rore missions still met with Chinese aggression despite this collaboration? Why was the existence of the task force kept secret if its mission is as innocuous as it sounds? Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address. I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . There’s no doubt that Washington’s “invisible hand” provides crucial support to Manila’s cause in the contested sea, but such assistance, while welcome, must not come at the expense of accountability. To be clear, any US involvement in Ayungin must be kept within mutually agreed parameters without casting a shadow over Philippine autonomy. The public deserves clarity from both sides, along with the guarantee that the nation does not cede an inch of sovereignty to any power, even its oldest and most trusted ally.
