Malicious browser extensions can hijack AI assistants
AI assistants are moving deeper into the browsers we use every day. They can summarize a webpage, explain what you are looking at and, in some cases, take action on websites for you. That convenience also gives these tools access that a normal webpage would never have. Now, security researcher Gal Weizman of Forever Security has shown how a malicious browser extension could potentially turn those powerful AI capabilities against you. His research, called BragJack, targeted Gemini Live in Chrome, Perplexity Comet, Microsoft Edge Actions, Opera Neon and Anthropic's Claude in Chrome. The findings resulted in more than $20,000 in bug bounties and two CVEs.
There is one important detail before you panic. The attack still required the malicious extension to be installed first. After that, Weizman demonstrated attacks that needed zero additional clicks from the victim. So how could one extension get that far inside the browser? It comes down to how these AI assistants are built.

AI MALWARE CAN REWRITE ITSELF TO EVADE DETECTION
Weizman describes these AI systems as having a "brain" and a "body." The AI model works out what should happen. A privileged component inside the browser then carries out the request. Depending on the product, that privileged component might read webpage content, capture a screenshot or interact with a website. That setup becomes risky if something else inside the browser can manipulate the connection between those pieces. The proof-of-concept attacks relied heavily on Chromium's declarativeNetRequest, or DNR, system. Browser extensions can use DNR to modify how network requests work. That can include changing response headers or redirecting resources. Forever Security showed how those capabilities could let an extension interfere with web content trusted by a browser's AI features.
Chrome was one of the more striking examples. Google's Gemini side panel essentially has two pieces. Gemini handles the intelligence behind the request while Chrome provides the browser-level abilities needed to carry it out. Researchers found that Chrome already prevented extensions from directly injecting scripts into the Gemini page. However, the researchers discovered that an extension could still manipulate certain network requests used inside the Gemini experience. That gap allowed Weizman to demonstrate access to browser capabilities that the extension itself should never have received. According to the research, he could access local files, capture screenshots and obtain browser profile information. The researcher says the flaw also let him turn on the camera and microphone with zero clicks from the user. Google awarded the researchers a $7,000 bounty for reporting the vulnerability, which received the identifier CVE-2026-0628.
Google has since confirmed to CyberGuy that it has closed this specific attack path. A Google spokesperson told us, "Confirming we've released a patch in Chrome so this method no longer works on the Gemini side panel." That means the technique demonstrated by the researchers should no longer work against the Gemini side panel in an updated version of Chrome.
Perplexity Comet raised a different concern because its AI agent can take actions inside websites. Weizman found that Comet's built-in agent trusted several Perplexity domains. One testing domain lacked the same extension protections used on the main Perplexity site. Normally, that testing address redirected elsewhere. The proof-of-concept used DNR to remove the redirect and load the page instead. That gave the extension a path to communicate with Comet's built-in agent. The demonstrated access included browsing history, screenshots and local files. Then things became more personal. Weizman demonstrated sending an instruction that told the agent to access Perplexity, summarize the victim's recent emails and send the information to another email address. The AI agent performed the browser actions using capabilities it already had.
Microsoft built safeguards into Edge to keep outside prompts from easily controlling what its AI agent could do. Researchers still found a way around them. Weizman discovered a timing flaw known as a race condition. In simple terms, his test extension could feed the AI a prompt and then quickly switch on its ability to take action before Edge finished checking whether the request should be allowed. That opened the door for the AI agent to carry out a command it should not have accepted. Microsoft tracked the flaw as CVE-2026-55945 and rated it medium severity. The company says Edge versions before 150.0.4078.48 were affected. Updating Edge closes this particular security hole.
Forever Security also demonstrated related attacks against Opera Neon and Claude in Chrome. There is an important difference with Claude. Claude in Chrome is itself a browser extension, rather than a complete browser. The researcher found that a page on Claude's domain could send prompts to the extension's side panel. Another extension could manipulate that trusted page and force prompts into Claude. Forever Security says Anthropic awarded a bounty for the finding and classified it as medium severity. Opera Neon also allowed the proof-of-concept extension to reach its AI agent. According to the researcher, that access could force the agent to carry out instructions on websites. All five demonstrations were Chromium-based, which helped the researcher reuse the same basic attack approach.
We reached out to Google, Microsoft, Perplexity, Opera and Anthropic for comment on the research. Google responded with the update included above. Microsoft pointed us to its CVE-2026-55945 security advisory and said it had nothing further to share. We did not hear back from Perplexity, Opera or Anthropic before our deadline.
LOCK DOWN YOUR CHATGPT ACCOUNT BEFORE THE NEXT AI ATTACK
You may already have heard about prompt injection. That usually involves hiding malicious instructions in something an AI reads. Weizman calls this new approach Prompt Forcing. Here, the attacker does not need to hide instructions inside a webpage and hope the AI follows them. The attacker can force a complete prompt into the agent through a channel that the browser or assistant trusts. The AI can then turn that plain-English instruction into legitimate browser actions. That creates an interesting problem for security software. A suspicious program stealing an email may be easier to spot. An approved AI agent opening a website and clicking a button can look like normal browser activity. The published BragJack research describes proof-of-concept attacks and does not report that these techniques have been exploited in the wild. Still, the research shows how the security equation changes as AI agents receive deeper access to browsers and computers.
The attack starts with something many of us barely think about anymore: a browser extension. CyberGuy has covered malicious extensions that pretended to be AI assistants,hijacked online accounts and even turned trusted extensions into data-stealing spyware. That makes extension cleanup one of the easiest steps you can take right now. Maybe you installed a coupon extension two years ago and forgot about it. Perhaps you tested an AI sidebar once and never opened it again. If you no longer need an extension, there is little reason to keep giving it access to your browser.
Browsers receive security fixes regularly, so install updates as soon as they become available. Google's response makes that especially relevant here. The company says it has already released the Chrome patch that blocks the Gemini side-panel method demonstrated by the researchers. Restart Chrome after an update if prompted so the newest version can finish installing.
Open your browser's extension manager and remove anything you do not recognize or no longer use. Here is the quickest way to check:
Chrome and Claude in Chrome: Click the three-dot menu → Extensions → Manage extensions → find the extension → Remove. Google confirms this path in its current Chrome instructions.
Microsoft Edge: Click the Extensions puzzle-piece icon → Manage extensions → find the extension → Remove.
Opera Neon: Open the Extensions area from the browser sidebar or menu → review your installed extensions → remove anything you no longer trust or use. Opera documents its extensions manager through the Extensions icon and menu.
Perplexity Comet: Open the browser's extensions manager and review imported or installed Chrome extensions. Comet supports Chrome extensions and can import them from Chrome.
Pro tip: If you are unsure about an extension, disable it first and research the developer before removing it.
THOUSANDS OF HACKED SITES TRICK YOU INTO INSTALLING MALWARE
Look carefully when an extension asks for broad access to websites or browser activity. The permission should make sense for what the extension actually does.
Some browsers let you decide whether an extension can run on every website or only certain sites. Give an extension the narrowest access it needs to work.
An extension that uses a familiar AI name may have no connection to the company behind that AI service. Check the publisher before installing it.
If your browser gives you the option to disable an AI assistant or agent you never use, consider turning it off. That reduces the number of powerful browser features available if another component gets compromised.
Strong antivirus software can help flag malicious downloads and suspicious activity connected to bad extensions. It adds another layer of protection if something slips past you. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at Cyberguy.com
Do not install one because it sounds useful for five minutes. Every extension adds code and permissions to the browser you use for email, banking, shopping and other private activity.
What gets my attention here is how much more powerful a bad browser extension can become when an AI agent enters the picture. We already knew extensions could spy on browsing or steal account data. This research shows a possible path to something with much broader privileges. There is also a practical takeaway. These demonstrations still required the attacker-controlled extension to get inside the browser first. Once it was there, however, the researcher showed that the attack could continue without another click from the victim. I would take five minutes and look through your extensions today. If you cannot remember why you installed one, find out what it does. If you stopped using it months ago, remove it. As browser AI grows more capable, the companies building these tools also need strong barriers between ordinary extensions and the privileged systems that let AI act for us.
Would you still let an AI assistant control parts of your browser if a malicious extension could potentially turn that access against you? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com

Josh Duhamel credits controversial routine for feeling better than in his 30s
Josh Duhamel is crediting taking testosterone with helping him feel better at 53 than he did 20 years ago.
The actor has previously shared that he began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) about five years ago. Duhamel went on to co-found Gatlan, a men's health company that offers physician-guided testosterone replacement therapy, hormone optimization, weight loss and longevity treatments.
During a recent appearance on Dave Asprey's "The Human Upgrade" podcast, the "Las Vegas" alum opened up about how testosterone therapy has affected his health.
JOSH DUHAMEL SAYS HIS HEART RATE DROPS 25% AT OFF-GRID MINNESOTA CABIN
"I feel better now than I did in my early to mid-30s," Duhamel said. "I'm not even kidding you. My joints, my back, my knees, everything. I just feel stronger."
Duhamel explained that he was inspired to launch Gatlan after experiencing what he described as the positive effects of testosterone therapy. He said his former representatives warned him against starting the company and told him that becoming the face of the treatment could hurt his career in Hollywood.
"I won't tell you the agency that I'm no longer with, but they said, 'Don't do it. It's bad for your image.' And I was like, 'Alright, watch,'" Duhamel recalled.
"It took me a while," he admitted. "I had to get over that for a little bit because I was like, 'Maybe they're right. Maybe I'm going to get, you know, made fun of in the town for having this company.'"
COULD 'HUMANMAXXING' ACTUALLY HELP YOU LIVE LONGER? HERE'S WHAT EXPERTS SAY
"But my gut was, ‘Why not shine a light on this thing and make it OK?’" Duhamel remembered. "Because nobody's talking about it. Everybody's doing it."
"And there's so many guys out there who would love this information," he added.
MEN FACE NEW PRESSURE TO STAY ‘HOT’ AS THEY AGE — AND IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT LIVING LONGER
Duhamel said he began taking testosterone after tests showed he had low levels.
"I had low T in my early 40s," Duhamel shared. "And so, I really started looking into it. Did the research, found somebody who I could find it from, you know, probably got some bad batches here and there. Didn't really have a quality sort of source."

"But I found that I was feeling better," he continued. "I had that oomph that I didn't have before in my 20s and 30s. And I said, 'This s--- works.' I got to — I want to learn more about this."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved testosterone products to treat men with low testosterone associated with certain medical conditions. The agency also requires testosterone products to carry warnings about increased blood pressure. Patients should consult their doctor about the potential benefits and risks of treatment.
Duhamel said he injects testosterone three times a week, explaining that the schedule helps keep his levels consistent.
The "Transformers" star said taking testosterone has improved his life "tremendously" and given him the energy he needs as a father of three. Duhamel and his wife, Audra Mari, 32, married in September 2022 and welcomed son Shepherd, now 2, in January 2024.
In May 2026, the couple announced the birth of their daughter, Rocca de Leon Duhamel. Duhamel also shares son Axl, 13, with his ex-wife, singer Fergie, 51.
"I wouldn't be able to do it," he said. "I have a 3-month-old baby and a 2 ½-year-old boy. And my oldest is about to be 13 tomorrow."
"So, I've got a lot going on at the house," Duhamel continued. "My poor wife, thank God, she's such a rock star. She's such a great mom. But when I'm home, we are on all day. It's either changing the diaper or we're potty training him now, too. He wants to go swimming. So, I'm swimming."

"We're just like, 'You got that. I got this. OK, ready.' It's just like — it's a tiring period of our life. This is about the most tiring it's going to be," he added.
Duhamel told Asprey he was encouraged by what he sees as a changing conversation around testosterone and hormone treatment. The "Ransom Canyon" star pointed to what he described as a growing willingness to reconsider long-held beliefs about testosterone therapy.
"I'm glad that we're here now, and I'm glad that we have information that is contrary to what we thought for so many years," he said. "And we can actually do something. We can actually stay stronger, younger, longer, and I feel like that's really why I did this is I just wanted to out of my own curiosity and fascination and my own vanity, probably."
"But mostly because I have young kids," he continued. "I want to be able to be a good dad and a physical and vibrant father for them physically for as long as I can. And mentally, for that matter."

Duhamel said longevity was a major factor in his decision to pursue testosterone therapy, explaining that his goal is not just to feel better now but also to preserve his health for the years ahead.
"I love it," he said. "I'm excited about the idea that I'm going to … be as healthy as I can much longer than I would have before."
"I want to see my grandkids," Duhamel added. "That's a big ask."

Duhamel said hormone optimization should be part of a broader discussion about aging and that men and women should at least explore their options with doctors.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
"I think that men and women, for that matter, deserve an opportunity to be optimized for much longer than we ever thought we could be," he said. "You know, especially when the stuff is there, and it's all medically backed and the science is there."
"At least take a look at it because there's no reason to, you know, let the old man in the door if you don't have to."
Irish national soccer team should be ashamed for not shaking hands with Israeli opponents
Irish national soccer team players bowed their heads in protest Sunday. They should be hanging their heads in shame.
This is a country known for its love of throwing a few back when the moment strikes. But it's disconcerting to see that their drink of choice is the Kool-Aid.

Ireland's players opted not to shake the hands of their Israeli opponents before Sunday's Nations League match in Hungary, and their goalkeeper, Gavin Banzunu, refused to play against Israel because of his "personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong."
It was one giant virtue signal in the team's attempt to announce its moral superiority, but upon a closer look, it was the Irishmen who fell short.
Some background.
The Irish soccer team had faced pressure to boycott Sunday's game against Israel due to the country's response to the Hamas terror attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed nearly 1,200 Israelis. The narrative pushed by much of the media is that the counter-attacks have been akin to a "genocide," which has no basis in reality.
Nevertheless, the Irish soccer team has seemed to deem Israel the villain in this conflict, and took out their resentment on the Israeli players. They wouldn't even shake their hands??? Pathetic.
ISRAELI OFFICIAL SAYS EU SANCTIONS REVEAL ANTISEMITISM HIDING BEHIND 'SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE MASK'
Let's pretend for a second that Israel was, indeed, the "bad guy" in this conflict — something I don't believe to be true. Does that mean it's OK to shun the athletes representing the country?
Where else could you apply that logic?
Should opponents of North Korea's teams refuse to shake their players' hands because of a brutal dictatorship responsible for an innumerable amount of human rights abuses? Should opponents of Russian teams refuse to shake their players' hands because of Vladimir Putin's government invading Ukraine?
What about not shaking the hands of Sudanese players because of a catastrophic war involving atrocities against civilians? Or not shaking hands of Chinese players because of their government's treatment of the Uyghurs?
I was on hand in Seattle when Iran took on Egypt in a World Cup group play match. I didn't see Egyptians deny handshakes with Iranian players due to their government's extermination of protesters against the Tehran regime. I never saw players at the World Baseball Classic snub the Venezuelans because of Nicolás Maduro's brutal regime, either.
I could go on and on.
The world is brutal. Conflict is everywhere. But there's a big difference between protesting a country's government and treating players from said country as pariahs. The Irish soccer team doesn't seem to understand that.
Never mind that Israel's attacks have essentially always been in response to attacks brought upon its country. Innocent people die tragically because Hamas uses them as human shields, embedding its fighters and military infrastructure among civilians in schools, hospitals and residential areas.
The Israeli government regularly gives warnings that these attacks are coming, and provides aid to the Palestinian people. This is lost on much of the media and artists such as Macklemore, who falsely decry an attempt at "genocide."

But that's neither here nor there in regard to the Israeli soccer players. They are athletes, not politicians. They don't dictate what their government leaders do. The Irish soccer team's players slighting them is a misguided attempt to make themselves look heroic. In fact, they look foolish.
Politics are messy. Sports are supposed to be an escape from them.
The Irish soccer team players deemed themselves the empathetic group. The Irish soccer team players deemed themselves the empathetic group. In reality, they were simply the latest people to confuse moral posturing with morality.
The NFL is America's most God-centered professional sports league and Sunday's games continued to prove it
Sunday's most compelling game was over and now it was time for the Denver Broncos stars to discuss their stirring victory over the Dallas Cowboys on NBC's national broadcast. And that's when quarterback Bo Nix and safety Talanoa Hufanga told everyone where the credit goes:
To God.
"Honestly man, all praise to God, just to come out here, believe in myself, believe in my teammates to be in the right spot," Hufanga said after collecting two interceptions, including a Pick Six. "Man, all glory to God that I go out there and play and have some fun."
CARDINALS BACKUP CORNERBACK FINED BY NFL FOR WRITING 'GLORY BE 2 GOD' ON HIS EYEBLACK
NBC's Melissa Stark turned to Nix and asked something about what was discussed at halftime. And the quarterback gave her 10 seconds of fluff football talk then said this:
"But like he said, all glory to God," Nix said. "He's really good. He's given us this platform. He's given us this opportunity and our job is just to make the most of it."
"Believe," Hufanga then added, as if imploring the audience to join them.
And this is example 1,403,285 (more or less) that the NFL is the most God-centered professional sports league in America.
Every game day the most popular league playing the country's most popular sport shows up publicly thanking, praising and worshiping God.
Unapologetically.
No shame. No embarrassment. Out in the open, regardless how fans, media, or the league itself may feel about people of faith.
So, how could this secular, oftentimes super liberal monolith of a business preach God so often?
Well, let's understand there is a difference between the mostly faceless, nameless, Godless league that is headquartered in New York, and the people that fans actually come to see and cheer — the players and coaches.
While we think of the NFL as a sterile office bent on making gobs of profit, you've got people in uniform or wearing headsets that sometimes speak like prophets.
Consider:
The Baltimore Ravens beat the Dallas Cowboys in stunning, last-second fashion in Brazil. Quarterback Lamar Jackson completed a long pass with one second remaining to set up a final kick.
So he stepped off the field and went to work.
"The crazy thing about it [was] I had no doubt in my mind," Jackson told an international group of reporters afterward. "I prayed to Jesus. I prayed to God.
"I am like, ‘Man, I feel like we already won.’ I could not show it, but I am like, I have all my faith in [kicker Tyler Loop] right now, man."
In Washington, the Commanders lost linebacker Leo Chenal to a neck injury in the first half. He was taken to a local hospital where doctors saw he had movement in all his extremities.
Back at the Northwest Stadium, Kain Medrano stepped in for Chenal.
Medrano intercepted a pass in the fourth-quarter. And returned it for a touchdown and the game-deciding points. And afterward was thinking about his fallen teammate.
"Yeah, obviously, we lost a brother," Medrano said, "but we're all praying for him."
The Giants, like the Commanders, won on Sunday despite not having their starting quarterback because both Jaylen Daniels and Jaxson Dart are out injured.
That put Jameis Winston at the reins of the New York offense, but it was the defense and safety Jevon Holland's interception at his own 4-yard line with 24 seconds to play that sealed the victory.
And what was Winston's reaction?
"Elated, praise God, so happy and grateful that he did what I thought he was going to do," Winston said. "I told [Holland] he was going to do that. He did it.
"I told him he was going to do that Friday. Friday, I told him, I said, 'When the game is on the line, you're going to make the biggest play.'"
Coach John Harbaugh's team has a 2-1 record now. Those two victories are already half the number of wins the Giants managed all of last season.
So what's the first thing Harbaugh told the New York media to start his post-game news conference?
"Praise and glory to our Savior," he said. "And to our guys, nothing but respect for finding a way to win a tough game in the fourth quarter. That's the way these games go usually in the National Football League."
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
None of this is preachy. It's not sanctimonious nor moralizing.
It is people of faith feeling no shame about sharing what's in their heart. And at their core.
This is the NFL on any given week.
Workers renovating major city street stumble on ancient discovery buried 20 feet below
Workers renovating a bustling city boulevard stumbled across a piece of the ancient past — a cache of pottery dating back roughly 1,000 years.
The discovery was made amid ongoing excavations in Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia in the Caucasus region, south of Russia.
The artifacts were found roughly 20 feet beneath Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi's main thoroughfare.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER MASSIVE ANCIENT SITE DURING RAIL PROJECT, INCLUDING RARE ROMAN FIND
Pictures show archaeologists examining the intricately decorated pottery fragments, as well as centuries-old jugs and various shards.
The roadwork is part of a larger project to upgrade Rustaveli Avenue with new pedestrian crossings, improved signage and other improvements, according to Reuters.
David Lordkipanidze, director of the Georgian National Museum, told Reuters the discovery was not entirely unexpected given Tbilisi's history.
"Tbilisi is very rich with archaeological material ... so it's very logical to find workshops of different periods," he said.

Lordkipanidze also pointed to Tbilisi's long history as a crossroads for cultures and commerce.
"Tbilisi was always multicultural," he said.
"[It's been] a real center for the region, particularly an economic center."

The pottery appears to date between the 10th and 11th centuries, when Tbilisi was under Arab rule and served as an important stop along the Silk Road.
Additional studies, including 3D scanning, will help researchers more precisely determine the artifacts' age.

Rahm Emanuel lays out five-point ethics plan, says Democrats should learn from GOP-led states on education
AUSTIN, Texas — Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel insists his five-point plan would clean up ethics in government, and whoever emerges as the 2028 Democratic nominee could learn from Republican-led states if they want to help fix America’s education system.
During an interview with Fox News Digital following his appearance at the 2026 Texas Tribune Festival, the high-powered Democrat, who has floated a potential 2028 White House run, insisted Americans need "five simple things" to ensure elected officials work for the people instead of themselves.
"Across all three branches of government, ban all stock trading. Two, ban all participation in the prediction market. Three, when you hit the age of 75, mandatory retirement. Four, if your net worth is north of a million dollars… mandatory blind trust. Five, tighten up legally, not constitutionally, the foreign gifts and foreign investments and participation," Emanuel told Fox News Digital.
DOZENS OF HOUSE DEMOCRATS REJECT BILL FUSING CONGRESSIONAL STOCK BAN WITH FEDERAL VOTER ID
"For all three branches of government," he said. "Every one of those applies."
The former mayor of Chicago was also fired up about education, blasting both parties and admitting mistakes made by Democrats.
"Republicans have walked away from public education. I'm saying that at 10,000 feet, there are others who support it. And Democrats have walked away from accountability and standards that our kids are falling through," Emanuel said.
He said Republicans advocate for vouchers, but "there’s no accountability associated with them," while Democrats have their own problems with education.
RAHM EMANUEL TOUTS WHAT SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM OTHER DEMS AS HE MULLS 2028 PRESIDENTIAL BID
"We have made mistakes as a party. In 2012, we walked away from core curriculum, and we walked away from standards and accountability," Emanuel said.
"Our kids are paying a price for that," he continued. "That was wrong."
Emanuel said it’s important to understand that teachers "were not wrong" to claim we were "teaching to the tests."
"But the answer wasn’t abandoning the test, it was making an adjustment," he said.
"And to all the Republicans who say, ‘You know, it's about a different funding mechanism,’ truth is, you just oppose teachers’ unions, and therefore you're using that as a disguise," Emanuel said. "I'm interested in only one thing, results."
RAHM EMANUEL WARNS ‘BERNIE BROS’ COULD SINK DEMOCRATS BY SADDLING MODERATES WITH SOCIALIST AGENDA
Emanuel said that if someone was considering a run for the Democratic nomination, it’d be wise to look at the education record of states like Mississippi and Louisiana, which have posted gains in recent years.
"If you have a successful model, I don't care the political quote unquote red or blue state. I want to know what it is, and can we scale it. That's all I stand for. So, the two parties have made mistakes, learn from them," he said.
"We are not in a position when 50% of our kids cannot read at grade level, our math scores are worse," Emanuel continued. "Interestingly, our science isn't. And then adjust accordingly, because we don't have a child to waste in this competition for the future."
The former ambassador has a long road ahead of him if he seeks the Democratic nomination as the RealClearPolitics average of polls currently does not have him among the top 10 contenders. Former Vice President Kamala Harris maintains a substantial lead with roughly 25% average support among Democratic voters.
Giants' Jameis Winston dedicates victory to Jaxson Dart in most Jameis Winston way possible
The New York Giants’ 12-7 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday was as ugly as it could get but a win is a win and Big Blue needs a whole lot of them to somehow make the playoffs.
Jameis Winston survived the cold and rain conditions up at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He completed 14 of his 22 pass attempts for 118 yards and was sacked three times. But he and the defense did enough to get Dominic Zvada in position for chip-shot field goals.

The Giants needed that and a heads-up interception from Jevon Holland to seal the victory.
The veteran quarterback dedicated the win to injured second-year star Jaxson Dart in the most Jameis Winston way ever.
"Belief. Faith. There was no doubt on the sideline that it was going to happen," he said when asked how the team was able to pull this off. "Obviously, we are our brother’s keeper. Winning this game for Jaxson. Twelve points. Six times two. It's for you. That's twelve.

"So, we found a way to will to get this. Then (Brian Burns) went down. So, we had to find a way to be our brother's keeper. But we never lost faith. We kept going. And our objective was to be 1-0. One play at a time."
Hope is a dangerous drug for any fan base. But for Giants fans, they saw all of their postseason wants and wishes go out the window seven snaps into last Monday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams when Dart when down with a regular-season-ending knee injury.
Hope is definitely dangling on a string. The team looked lost last week after Dart’s injury. But bouncing back in the cold against a team they should have beaten regardless, is what will boost confidence for the next few weeks.
Winston wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination. The team will continue to rely on players like Cam Skattebo, the defense and special teams to account for where the offense lacks.
Next week, the Arizona Cardinals come to town. The Cardinals put up 30 points against the San Francisco 49ers in a loss. Focusing on the task at hand should get the G-men to 3-1.
AOC's Ivy League warmup act leads democratic socialists in notorious anti-Israel chant
An event for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., saw her far-left hosts at Cornell University lead a packed crowd in singing the anti-Israel slogan "from the river to the sea" on Sunday.
The Cornell University Young Democratic Socialists of America hosted the event for AOC, which her campaign labeled as a "Students vs. Billionaires" town hall. The group's president, Mina Petrova, and co-Chair Zoe Reisman led the crowd of roughly 2,000 people in chanting "from the river to the sea," after declaring, "long live the student intifada."
"Cornell is fundamentally a capitalist institution that prioritizes billionaires and profit over students and community and is controlled by CEO trustees that are profiting off of genocide and war," Petrova told the crowd at one point, triggering applause.

AOC made no apologies when she eventually took the stage, joining her young hosts in accusing Cornell of censorship.
"Whether it’s the issue about Palestine or many others, whether it’s about people trying to fire those who are forming a union in their workplace, whether it’s people trying to speak up about a number of different issues, we have to respond to that first crackdown," she said.

HOUSE REPUBLICAN AIMS TO PUT DEMOCRATS ON THE RECORD OVER DSA WITH RESOLUTION CONDEMNING SOCIALISM
According to a recent Fox News Poll, 55% of registered voters hold an unfavorable view of the DSA, while only three in 10 see the DSA in a positive light.
The Fox News Poll is the latest national survey to show that while the DSA has gained traction among Democrats, the group and the broader socialist movement in America face significant national skepticism.
The figures appear to reinforce a key element in the GOP midterm playbook, which aims to turn what's normally a referendum on the party in power into a choice election.

Colts' Sauce Gardner relishes in first victory on US soil in more than 650 days
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner was on the receiving end of a brutal graphic last week.
The NBC broadcast noted that Gardner "has not won an NFL game in the United States since December 15, 2024," which at that point was 644 days. He played for the New York Jets to start the 2025 season before he was traded to the Colts. Indianapolis defeated the Atlanta Falcons in Germany, which accounted for the only win he was a part of last year.

On Sunday, the winless streak on U.S. soil came to an end. The Colts narrowly defeated the Houston Texans 19-17. Gardner was ready for a social media post.
"Hey guys, won in the United States today," he wrote on X.
The streak ended at 651 days.

Gardner had five tackles and two pass breakups in the win. Indianapolis nearly defeated the Kansas City Chiefs last week, losing in overtime 33-30. He had six tackles and a pass breakup in that one.
In Week 1, Gardner only had one tackle. The Baltimore Ravens took care of Indy 41-23.
The All-Pro defensive back is going to be a key piece in the Colts’ secondary if the team should right the ship and get back into a winning position. Indianapolis was playing well last season before Daniel Jones went down with a season-ending injury. The Colts lost seven straight and missed out on the playoffs.
The pressure is on the Colts to get to the postseason this year. Team owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon is prowling the sidelines and watching closely to see how her team performs.
NFL's most debated Week 3 call has people wondering how to defy gravity when hitting Patrick Mahomes
The Miami Dolphins are winless, which isn't good, but it gets worse because they also don't have a sack this season, making them the NFL's only team bearing that stigma. And all that made Sunday's controversial call sting all the more.
The Dolphins today are going to dissect the fact they thought edge rusher Chop Robinson hurried Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to throw the football out of the end zone for a big fourth-quarter stop.
The ball fell harmlessly incomplete.
The way Mahomes fell was much more harmful in the view of the officials, who promptly called Robinson for roughing the passer.
And why did Robinson get called for the controversial penalty? Because he landed on Mahomes without somehow sufficiently showing that he was trying to avoid stuffing the great quarterback into the Hard Rock Stadium grass.
Remember that word – stuffing – because, believe it or not, it's an actual NFL rulebook standard for calling roughing the passer.
(But first, full transparency: This penalty didn't change the outcome of the game. It didn't really affect the Chiefs at all because there was another Dolphins penalty on the play that would have extended the possession anyway.)
But this penalty speaks to what lengths the NFL is going to protect its quarterbacks., how much latitude flawed officials get in making a call, and to what degree defenders are supposed go to avoid hurting QBs.
That degree perhaps includes floating in air. Maybe levitating for a beat or two.
Or simply defying gravity.
Robinson didn't do any of those. He hit Mahomes and the quarterback went down.
"No, he got me," Mahomes said afterward. "He got me for sure pretty good. But that’s part of playing football."
Part of playing football is requiring pass rushers to somehow tackle the quarterback but "not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the [defender's] weight," per the NFL rules book.
And here's the problem 1: It's in the official's sole judgment if the defensive player did his best to not land with full weight on the quarterback.
Problem 2: Defenders cannot typically hit the quarterback square and then stop their progress while in mid air.
"Those are tough, man. Those are tough," Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks said. "... I personally don't think that Chop was wrong in anything he did, and so that's something that we can't control."
It's understandable the Dolphins cannot control this because neither can anyone else. It's physically impossible for a 280-pound dude to stop falling once he's in the air. He also cannot change the trajectory of his fall so as to avoid the guy he just hit.
NEW NFL FINE SCHEDULE IS GOING TO A POINT SYSTEM THAT COULD LEAD TO SUSPENSIONS BUT ALSO REFUNDS
The only way coaches have figured out to coach this is for rushers to try to cushion their fall with their arms and hands. You know, act like they didn't fall as hard as gravity demanded.
That's what this call left Robinson thinking about – how to put his hands out with such drama as to allay the referee's fear that the face of the NFL was on the ground.
"Put my hands out earlier," Robinson told reporters at his locker stall after the game. "I did what I was taught to do..."
What makes this so difficult is the rule itself.
NFL Rule 12, Section 2, Article 11 defines roughing the passer, and protecting any player in a passing posture from unnecessary, late, or violent contact.
It states:
"The Referee has principal responsibility for enforcing these rules. Any physical acts against a player who is in a passing posture (i.e. before, during, or after a pass) which, in the Referee’s judgment, are unwarranted by the circumstances of the play will be called as fouls."
So, yes, this is all "the referee's judgment."
And then the weight-bearing problem that brings the stuffing action into play...
"A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as 'stuffing' a passer into the ground or unnecessarily wrestling or driving him down after the passer has thrown the ball," the rule reads.

"When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defender’s weight.
"Instead, the defensive player must strive to fall to the side of the quarterback’s body, or to brace his fall with his arms to avoid landing on the quarterback with all or most of his body weight."
Robinson braced his fall with his arm. But apparently the referee weighed the defender's fall and decided he followed through with all or most of his body weight.
Or maybe it's just an faulty rule that needs more work.
