Giants fire defensive coordinator Shane Bowen as season spirals: reports
The New York Giants’ Super Bowl championship teams were built on incredible defenses spearheaded by superstars like Lawrence Taylor, Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck.
It’s been nearly 15 years since the Giants were in contention for the Lombardi Trophy. The team has won only one playoff game since winning the title in the 2011 season. The franchise is undergoing another massive overhaul as the 2025 season slips away.

The Giants already fired head coach Brian Daboll, and on Monday, the team reportedly relieved defensive coordinator Shane Bowen of his duties.
New York saw another lead get away from them in a 34-27 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. It was the latest loss after blowing a lead this season. It’s occurred five times in the 2025 season alone.

The Giants dropped to 2-10 on the year with the loss. The team is 30th in points and yards allowed.
Bowen joined the Giants during the 2024 season after spending time with the Tennessee Titans’ organization. The Giants were No. 1 in takeaway/giveaway ratio in 2023 and dropped to 26th in 2024.
New York is definitely set for a major revamp on the sidelines after another disappointing season.
On the bright side, the team has three rising stars on the offensive side of the ball in Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers who may be ready for a big breakout once they are all healthy at the same time.

Cowboys' Jerry Jones wants star wide receiver back in 2026 and beyond
George Pickens shined once again for the Dallas Cowboys as he put together another incredible game to help the team solidify a comeback victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Pickens had nine catches for 146 yards and a touchdown. He helped extend the Cowboys’ final drive and set up kicker Brandon Aubrey for a 42-yard game-winning field goal. Dallas won the game 24-21, after being down 21-0 in the second quarter.

Dallas acquired Pickens in the offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a thorn in the Steelers’ side before the Cowboys took a flyer on him and traded a 2026 third-round draft pick and a 2027 sixth-round draft pick for him.
It’s turned out to be more boom than bust. So much so, that team owner Jerry Jones touted Pickens’ abilities and what he’s meant to the team.
"George has been such an integral part of our story, and he has his story, to a degree that's our story," Jones said, via the team’s website. "I'm so proud for him. Everybody on this team is, and he certainly has absolutely been the difference as we've played over the last two weeks… it's something when you've got [CeeDee Lamb] and Pickens."
MATTHEW STAFFORD ADDS 3 MORE TOUCHDOWNS TO LEAGUE-LEADING TOTAL AS RAMS DEMOLISH BUCCANEERS
Jones added that he would want Pickens to be back with the Cowboys in 2026 and beyond.
"Of course, of course," Jones added. "We are proud to have him and I don't even want to play games with it. We'd love to have him on the team. By the way, I'd love to have [Lamb] on the team. And I know what we're asking around here, but we sure like the way the combination is really letting us execute on offense.
"I'm proud he's having the season he's having. It exceeds anything we could have hoped for."
Pickens already has career-highs in receptions (67) and touchdown catches (8) this season. He has 1,054 receiving yards and is on the verge of setting a new career mark in that statistical category. He had 1,140 receiving yards in 2023 with the Steelers.
Dallas is 5-5-1 so far. The Cowboys are first in yards gained and fourth in points scored.

Mark Wahlberg's kids mock his movie roles during family night, joke he could 'never beat Jason Bourne'
Mark Wahlberg's kids are now at the age where they like to make fun of their dad's movie roles.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Wahlberg said he already expects his four kids to make fun of him as he plays an on-screen dad scrambling to make an international vacation work for his family.
"I do enjoy watching a movie with them and we'll watch 'Family Plan' together as a family this weekend and they will make fun and they'll imitate me," Wahlberg said.
"The thing that I enjoy most is the imitations, right. Them making fun because they'll get up and they'll actually perform and they crack each other up, which makes me laugh to no end," he added.
The actor — the youngest of nine Wahlberg siblings, including "Blue Bloods" star Donnie Wahlberg — shares four children with his wife, Rhea Durham: Ella, 22; Michael, 19; Brendan, 17; and Grace, 15.
MARK WAHLBERG HAS RELATABLE DAD MOMENT AS HE VISITS DAUGHTER AT COLLEGE
Wahlberg said his four kids love to bring out the Boston accent and share which characters they believe would "kick his a--." A popular on-screen character that the Wahlberg kids believe would dominate their dad on-screen is Jason Bourne.
Jason Bourne is a former CIA assassin portrayed by Matt Damon in the Jason Bourne movie franchise.
"Well, they do a little bit of the Boston, they do a bit of 'the angry dad,' you know, they do a little bit of everything. They do a lil' bit of, oh, I think I'm tough, and you know. They talk about all the other characters in movies that would kick my a--, you know, and they're talking about, 'Dad, you can never beat Jason Bourne, you can never beat this one.' You know, it just, it's endless. It's endless, and I, I enjoy it thoroughly," Wahlberg said.

The hardest part for Wahlberg about raising teenagers and young adults has been giving them enough freedom, but not too much where they might make choices they "regret."

"Trying not to give them enough leeway to kind of figure things out for themselves, but not enough that they're going to actually do something that they are going to regret. And you know, I know better than anybody, all that stuff that stays with you," Wahlberg said.
"We want to make sure that they are going live up to their full potential and just trying to raise them the right way. But most importantly, being an example. To be an example, to go out there and walk the walk. I'm trying to pursue a relationship with God, live a purpose-filled life, you know, continue to make amends. If I could go back and do a lot of things differently, of course I would, I can't, so all I can do now is continue to try to touch people, inspire people and make sure that I use the talents and gifts that have been given to me to help others. So, I just want the best for them. And you know obviously, kids grow up, they make mistakes. Hopefully they don't make too many bad choices, but you know," Wahlberg said.
"The Family Plan 2" is the sequel to the first movie that was released in 2023. Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Colleti and Van Crosby reprise their roles in the film. "Game of Thrones" actor Kit Harington will join the cast for the newest movie.
Wahlberg explained how he's able to balance being and playing a dad on-screen – with the jam-packed actions scenes that are expected in the sequel.

"Well, really always focusing on the dad aspect. I think that's the thing that's much more relatable. Look, we've got bigger, better action, better backdrop, you know, these really glamorous locations. But it comes down to again, it's a character-driven movie where people can relate to the family dynamic. And also there's a lot of humor that comes from that," Wahlberg said.

He continued, "We captured a tone in the first one and we've elevated it in the second one where it's relatable to the entire family. And people really can see themselves in these characters and it's just fun for everybody, you know. Adults are loving the movie, kids are feeling like they're getting to see something that's, you know, maybe, you know, I wouldn't say inappropriate, but you know it's definitely edgier for the kids, which is great."
"The Family Plan 2" premiered globally on Apple TV on Nov. 21.
Charlie Kirk's warnings about socialism resurface as Mamdani, Trump focus on affordability
Resurfaced warnings from the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk about the dangers of young Americans embracing socialism are drawing new attention after New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, met with President Donald Trump at the White House.
"How do we get more young people under the age of 35 to have equity in the system? Not the Democrat version of equity, where they want to have redistribution, but actually, are they paying a mortgage? Do they own stuff? Or are they permanent renters?" Kirk asked during a July 11 appearance on "Fox & Friends."
TRUMP PREDICTS 'CIVIL' MEETING WITH MAMDANI DESPITE PAST COMMENTS ABOUT EACH OTHER
"A permanent renting class in this country is the prerequisite, is the leading ingredient for radical politics that nobody wants to see," he continued.
"We need to reinvigorate the ownership economy. And then all of a sudden, when you own stuff, you're less likely to burn down Wendy's and vote for candidates like Zohran Mamdani."
GOP WARNED TO TAKE ACTION OR 'LOSE' GEN Z VOTERS AFTER MAMDANI WINS NYC MAYOR RACE
Later that day, speaking at the Turning Point USA Summit in Tampa, Florida, Kirk doubled down on his warning, taking aim at Mamdani’s push for city-run grocery stores and his previously espoused defund the police rhetoric.
"All that is garbage," Kirk said. "But we failed to understand why he is rising… a part of it is that people in New York are not like you wonderful people here in Florida… But there's a deeper thing at play… Younger voters are trying to get their leaders' attention. We can't afford anything."
Kirk’s comments resurfaced on Monday’s "Fox & Friends" broadcast on the heels of Mamdani and President Donald Trump holding a cordial meeting at the White House to discuss the affordability crisis, public safety and the challenges facing New Yorkers.
Mamdani, on Sunday, called it important that people in politics don't shy away from areas with disagreements, all while understanding that such issues "[bring] us to the table."
Co-host Brian Kilmeade emphasized recent Fox News polling showing three quarters of voters view the economy negatively and continue to be concerned about affordability.
Grocery costs are a particular pain point for voters, as the poll asked if costs for items have increased, decreased or remained the same compared to a year ago. An 85% majority said they've increased, whereas 10% reported a decrease and 5% said there's been no change.
Browns' Myles Garrett 'chasing greatness' after incredible game vs Raiders
Shedeur Sanders’ win in his first NFL start was the main takeaway from the Cleveland Browns’ 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Myles Garrett’s leadership on defense was a major reason why the AFC North team took home the win.
Garrett was responsible for three of the sacks on Raiders quarterback Geno Smith and put himself into a position to potentially break the single-season sacks record. Garrett leads the NFL with 18 sacks on the year and only needs five more to top the 22.5 mark set by New York Giants legend Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt.

Eight Browns players had at least half a sack.
"That's the thing I'm most excited about," Garrett said. "That puts a smile on my face. The franchise record, I kind of expect that of myself. I continue to set the bar higher and higher."
Cleveland has five games left on the season. Garrett has at least one sack in five consecutive games going back to the Browns’ 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins last month.
TRUMP TAKES AIM AT GIANTS' LATE-GAME DECISION IN CRITICAL SOCIAL MEDIA POST
"Chasing Mike, chasing greatness," Garrett said. "If God wills it, I’ll go get it. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. I want it to come in a win. I want to have a chance to play some games in January and February. We gotta win out. Hopefully, things go our way.
"It would be great, but we have a lot more pressing things to do."
Cleveland is 3-8 this season and winning seven straight to close this season would be impressive.
The Browns return home for a two-game stint starting next week with the San Francisco 49ers in town in Week 13 and the Tennessee Titans coming to Ohio in Week 14.
Cleveland hits the road in Week 15 to take on the Chicago Bears but then return home for the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns wrap the season on Jan. 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium.

Mike Johnson says House GOP working full steam ahead on Trump's 'affordability agenda'
EXCLUSIVE: Making life more affordable for Americans will be a key part of House Republicans' remaining agenda for this Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Friday.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, the leader of the House of Representatives acknowledged there was a "short amount of time" for lawmakers to be in D.C. before the end of this year but said they would be working toward a number of goals, including President Donald Trump's "affordability" agenda.
"We have a lot of executive orders that we want to continue to codify through the end of the year. We're still doing regulatory reform to end the Biden-era regulations. We did some of that this week," Johnson said.
"There's a lot of initiatives left on the table, things for us to do and a short amount of time to do it in. But we're really bullish about the ideas that we're bringing forward over the next few weeks and in the coming months about reducing the cost of living."
DOUBLING DOWN: TOP HOUSE DEMOCRAT SAYS FOCUS ON HIGH PRICES ‘ABSOLUTELY GOING TO CONTINUE’
He said "affordability" was "the buzzword of the day."
"We have an affordability agenda, as the president has been touting, and we have to do that in earnest. Healthcare is part of that. But it's just the costs across the board," Johnson said.
He blamed the previous Democratic administration's policies for the high cost of living seen today, arguing former President Joe Biden approved policies that led to higher inflation.

"We the people rightfully revolted against that, and gave us the power again in January. But the economy is a very complex thing, you don't flip a switch and just change it all in one week. It takes a while," Johnson said.
The beginning of Biden's term was marked by record-high inflation, but that eased somewhat as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic slowly subsided. Throughout his four years, however, the rise in consumer prices outpaced average wage growth, according to a Texas A&M University analysis.
Republicans promised to lower the cost of living when they took over the levers of power in Washington earlier this year. Johnson said a hallmark of that was Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, since rebranded as the "working families' tax cut."
SURVEY SAYS: ISSUE THAT HELPED TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS IN 2024 HURT THEM NOW
"By the time we get into the first and second quarter of next year, as Treasury Secretary Bessent has said, we should have an economic boom because of all of these pieces will be coming into play. Taxes will be lower, no tax on tips and overtime, lower taxes on seniors. And then there'll be more investment because we have all the pro-growth policies and tax policies that will allow the job creators, entrepreneurs, risk-takers, innovators to do what they do," Johnson argued.
"Everything I just described will happen in due time, and it will. So we're very bullish about it."
Republicans are also expected to spend the next several weeks working on a healthcare package aimed at lowering sky-high premiums many Americans face, while also seeking to reform what they see as a badly flawed Obamacare system.
Several House committees are also expected to advance legislation in the coming weeks focused on lowering energy costs, including fixing an outdated system for permitting new energy projects.
Reggae pioneer Jimmy Cliff dead at 81

Trump says those against tariffs 'serving hostile foreign interests,' 'full benefit' yet to be seen
President Donald Trump suggested that the "full benefit" of tariffs has not yet been realized because their impact has been blunted by stockpiles of goods amassed to avoid paying the tariffs— but he suggested that those stockpiles are dwindling and the full force of his tariffs will soon take hold.
"Despite the massive amount of money being made by the United States of America, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, as a direct result of Tariffs being charged to other countries, the full benefit of the Tariffs has not yet been calculated in that many of the buyers of goods and products, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs in the short term, ‘STOCK UP’ by purchasing far more inventory than they can use," Trump declared in a Monday morning Truth Social post.
"That heavy inventory purchase is now, however, wearing thin, and soon Tariffs will be paid on everything they apply to, without avoidance, and the amounts payable to the USA will SKYROCKET, over and above the already historic levels of dollars received," he continued.
TRUMP TRADE OFFICIAL SAYS $2K TARIFF PAYMENTS WON'T FUEL INFLATION AS REVENUES CLIMB
Trump suggested that tariffs will bolster U.S. wealth and security.
"These payments will be RECORD SETTING, and put our Nation on a new and unprecedented course. We are already the ‘hottest’ Country anywhere in the World, but this Tariff POWER will bring America National Security and Wealth the likes of which has never been seen before. Those opposing us are serving hostile foreign interests that are not aligned with the success, safety and prosperity of the USA. They couldn’t care less about us," he wrote.
But it appears that much of the public does not share the president's enthusiasm for tariffs.
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS SAY WHITE HOUSE IS DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD ON ECONOMY
A Fox News Poll of registered voters conducted earlier this month found that only 35% approve of how Trump is handling tariffs, while a whopping 63% disapprove.
While 38% approve of his handling of the economy, 61% disapprove, according to the poll.

On a question about whether the Trump administration's economic policies have helped, hurt or not made much difference to them either way personally, the poll found that 46% indicated the administration's economic policies have hurt them, while just 15% indicated that the policies have helped, and 39% indicated the policies have not made a difference.
The poll was carried out Nov. 14-17, 2025, and included a sample of 1,005 registered voters nationwide, with a 3 percentage point margin of error.
James Carville demands Democrats ditch 'performative woke politics,' embrace economic 'rage'
Democratic strategist James Carville demanded Democrats start embracing a platform of "economic rage" in a New York Times guest essay published Monday, urging the party to leave "performative woke politics" in the past.
"It is time for Democrats to embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. This is our only way out of the abyss," Carville wrote, citing the recent Democratic victories in New Jersey, Virginia and New York City.
Carville said Democrats would continue to hold onto urban and suburban voters, but need to reconnect with voters who give Republicans an advantage in rural regions. He said the party needed to stay on message in angrily opposing the "the unjust economic system" that has increased utility bills and kept prices high.
THE FAR LEFT HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM, AND IT'S TURNING VOTERS OFF
"It cannot be said enough: The era of performative woke politics from 2020 to 2024 has left a lasting stain on our brand, particularly with rural voters and male voters. The term Latinx was despised even by many Latino people. Calling folks ‘BIPOC’ should have never been a thing. 'Defund the police' was a terrible idea," Carville said.
"We can no longer be a party with a whiff of moral absolutism," he continued. "We can correct this only by looking toward the future, always, in every situation possible, and pivoting to a form of economic rage as our response."
Carville called for a simple message that included increasing the federal minimum wage to $20 per hour, offering "free public college tuition," expanding rural broadband as a public utility and universal child care. He cited Americans’ frustration with higher electricity and gas bills.
MAMDANI’S SOCIALIST, CITY-RUN GROCERY PLAN FACES BACKLASH FROM HOCHUL: 'I FAVOR FREE ENTERPRISE'
"And darn it, we should not fear that running on a platform of seismic economic scale will cost us a general election. We’ve already lost enough of them by being afraid to try. The era of half-baked political policy is over," the Democratic strategist continued.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, made free child care a focal point of his mayoral campaign.

Carville previously called on Democrats to make a "strategic political retreat" earlier this year, and argued Republicans would crumble underneath their own weight.
"With no clear leader to voice our opposition and no control in any branch of government, it’s time for Democrats to embark on the most daring political maneuver in the history of our party: roll over and play dead," the strategist said in a Times guest essay in February.
Carville has long argued that the Democratic Party's focus on woke politics has alienated male voters.
Lawmakers demand changes to House censure rules after 'playground nonsense' embroils Congress
House lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are erupting in frustration after a week full of political bomb-throwing via a congressional procedure that’s traditionally only saved for the most egregious of fouls.
The last five days have marked the first week House lawmakers have all been in D.C. together since the 43-day government shutdown began on Oct. 1. And while most of them were anxious to get to work, the chamber was instead forced to reckon with a series of censure threats and forced House-wide votes on rebuking their colleagues via a mechanism called a privileged resolution.
"This is ridiculous playground nonsense," Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., said. "Personally, I'm tired of members of Congress using the chamber as their own personal playground to get attention. People have done some egregious things. But I’ve just had enough of this back and forth nonsense."
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., called the slew of censures and privileged resolutions "the biggest load of bulls---" and called for the system to be reformed so that one lawmaker’s wishes were not enough to disrupt the entire House floor.
NANCY MACE TO FORCE CENSURE VOTE AGAINST FELLOW HOUSE REPUBLICAN
"I mean, if somebody warrants a censure and/or expulsion, it should truly be driven by the consensus of the body and not some individual going on their own crusade to get attention or make a name," Lawler said.
One lawmaker, granted anonymity to discuss the development, said they were even worried the tool could now be misused as an election ploy.
"The majority could just [censure] anybody in a tight race. And you don't want this process to become part of election games and s---" they said.
Currently, any one lawmaker can introduce a censure resolution against another. Both Republicans and Democrats have also wielded a mechanism known as a "privileged resolution" three times this week to force an immediate vote on rebuking a colleague — out of five total threats to do so.
It spurred conversations by House lawmakers on how to change those rules, including one bipartisan proposal that would raise the threshold to censure someone from a simple majority vote to 60% of the chamber.
Some experts fear that change may do little to change the political incentives in place now, however.
"Increasing the threshold is useful, but I don’t know that it will deter its use," Jim Curry, professor of political science at the University of Utah, said. "You still get to have this moment of ‘I have brought a censure resolution against so-and-so, and the House will vote on it because I was brave.’ That doesn’t change that incentive for individual members of Congress to use it to grab headlines."
In its current state, lawmakers voiced concern that censures had been used primarily in a retaliatory manner.
"Eye for an eye leaves everyone blind, and we shouldn't use the House floor to litigate personal grievances, or even legitimate ones that should go through the proper due process," Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., said. "If someone is found to have committed a violation, and they receive their day in court, or the equivalent of it, then they should be held accountable. But this rush to get a headline, I think it's childish."
Lawmakers blamed a variety of motivations for the surge in House floor drama, from political angst to a desire for attention.
Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital, "I think there's a lot of pent-up frustration after the Democratic shutdown of over 40 days. And we all want to get moving on important issues, whether it be the cost of materials that went up during the Biden years, and, of course, how we handle this healthcare issue. And unfortunately, some people want to use some of these procedures to settle scores."
"Some of these folks are running for office and looking for footage to show their supporters or donors that they're doing something, and some of the media has to own this as well, because you guys cover this stupid s---. It's clickbait. It’s lame," Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., said.
DEMOCRAT FOUND TEXTING JEFFREY EPSTEIN FACES HOUSE CENSURE, COMMITTEE REMOVAL THREATS
A handful of members said they believed the chamber would be better served by increased use of the House Ethics Committee, the body primarily charged with reviewing possible lawmaker misconduct.
Committee Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., believes the Ethics Committee can help narrow down which censures are appropriate "so that they can get a clearer picture of the conduct and then be able to have a more informed opinion."
He said this week’s slew of censures "goes against the historical norm."
Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., who also sits on the Ethics Committee, noted that the chamber has other means to police behavior that fall somewhere between a censure and a full-blown Ethics Committee investigation. He added the speaker of the House could strip members of committee assignments.
"The complaint about the ethics committee is we take too long and, OK, I get that. But I think part of what you’re hearing is that all these votes come to the floor and a lot of people don’t even know what the issue is or anything."
Other members expressed frustration that the chamber had spent a significant amount of time on the censures, diverting time and attention away from more pressing legislative matters.
"Issues of affordability are what I'm focused on. And so every time we were kind of veering off into other areas, it frustrates me that we're not focusing on the issues that were elected to deal with," Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said.
Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., said, "I think that we would all do a little bit better to focus on the broader issues that the American people want us to focus on."
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told Fox Digital he would be open to reforms to the tool.
"I've had members from across the conference bringing me their thoughts and ideas on that, and we'll be going through that in a deliberative fashion to figure out what makes the most sense," he said.
