Texans upset Bills to shake up AFC playoff picture
The Buffalo Bills were upset by the Houston Texans on Thursday night, 23-19.
The game came down to a game-deciding Bills drive in the final two minutes. The Bills extended the drive by converting on a 4th and 27 with a lateral pass to Khalil Shakir. But the Bills could not convert on a 4th and 6 in the Texans red zone, when Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen threw a game-ending interception.

The Texans have now beaten the Bills for the second year in a row, and pulled it off with backup quarterback Davis Mills under center. Mills has improved to 3-0 as the team's quarterback this year in place of the injured CJ Stroud.
Mills had one of his better games as a pro Thursday, passing for 153 yards with two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, the Texans' defense had eight sacks on Allen, and even forced him out of the game temporarily with a wrist concern in the first half.
With the win, the Texans move to 6-5 on the season and remain in the hunt for the AFC wild card race. The Texans are now just half a game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars for the final wild card spot.
The Bills fell to 7-4 and lost ground to the New England Patriots in the AFC East race.

NFL ref leaves Bills-Texans game after scary non-contact injury
Injuries have ravaged NFL teams throughout the 2025 season, and on Thursday night the issue struck NFL officials during the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans game.
Head referee Adrian Hill pulled up lame during a play on a Texans drive in the third quarter. He was seen in the end zone watching a play unfold. As he started to move, Hill grabbed his left leg.

Hill was helped off the field and needed to be carted to the locker room. Umpire Roy Ellison took over as the head referee for the rest of the game.
Hill has been an NFL official since 2010, making his debut on Sept. 12, 2010, in a game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys as a line judge. He was promoted to a referee in 2019 after Pete Morelli and Walt Coleman retired.
Ellison is a longtime official himself and has some controversy attached to his career in the NFL.
COWBOYS' CEEDEE LAMB CLEARS UP RUMORS ABOUT WHY HE, TEAMMATE WERE BENCHED VS RAIDERS
In 2018, he had a run-in with Bills defensive lineman Jerry Hughes. The NFL player confronted Ellison in the tunnel following a game between the Bills and Miami Dolphins. Hughes accused Ellison of calling him an expletive. Ellison was reportedly fined one game check for the incident.
Both teams were also dealing with injuries during the game.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen had to check out after being roughed up on a play. Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir, defensive back Maxwell Hairston and offensive lineman Dion Dawkins were each evaluated for a concussion. Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard suffered an elbow injury and was out for the rest of the game.
The Texans were playing without quarterback C.J. Stroud as well as safety Jalen Pitre, who were both injured.

Missouri attorney general takes new legal aim at mail-order abortion pills over safety concerns
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced Thursday she is expanding the state’s fight against mail-order abortion pills, targeting a recently approved generic version of mifepristone that she argues sends women to hospitals with "life-threatening complications" and is being pushed into the marketplace without "basic medical safeguards."
The filing challenges the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Sept. 30 approval of a generic mifepristone produced by Evita Solutions, arguing that the drug’s risks are "well-documented and worsening with further study."
The lawsuit alleges manufacturers have relied on "weakened safety standards" that were "originally designed to catch dangerous conditions such as ectopic pregnancies," which can only be identified through an in-person medical exam.
"Mifepristone is sending women to the hospital with life-threatening complications, and yet drug companies continue pushing new versions of it into the market without basic medical safeguards," Hanaway said. "Mail-order abortion drugs are dangerous when taken without in-person care, and Missouri will not stand by while manufacturers gamble with women’s lives."
HAWLEY BLASTS FDA APPROVAL OF NEW ABORTION DRUG, CITES SAFETY AND TRUST CONCERNS
The case builds on Missouri’s multi-state challenge to what officials allege is the FDA’s "dismantling of critical safety protections" surrounding mifepristone.
Federal law has long banned the mailing of abortion drugs, yet distributors and telehealth networks have built a nationwide system that delivers the pills to women in every state, often without in-person medical screenings or follow-up care.
Missouri, joined by Kansas and Idaho, is asking the court to block the new approval, restore pre-2016 safety standards that required in-person medical evaluations and stop drugmakers and distributors from mailing abortion pills nationwide in violation of federal law.
Hanaway pointed to the drug’s labeling, which notes that roughly 1 in 25 women who take chemical abortion drugs end up in the emergency room and many suffer hemorrhaging, infection or require surgery. She said complications are even more common when the pills come through the mail without medical oversight.
"No caring physician would call mifepristone ‘as safe as Tylenol,’" she said. "That claim was always false. Women are ending up in emergency rooms, and manufacturers know it. If the FDA is reevaluating the brand-name drug’s safety, then it needs to stop rubber-stamping new mail-order generic versions before more women are hurt."
Hanaway’s filing comes as Republican lawmakers in Washington continue pressing the FDA to tighten oversight of abortion pills and restore safety guardrails rolled back in recent years.
ARREST WARRANT ISSUED FOR CALIFORNIA DOCTOR IN LOUISIANA ABORTION PILL CASE
During a recent press call, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., urged the FDA to "follow the science to put back safety guardrails" and questioned the agency’s partnerships with abortion-pill manufacturers, including Evita Solutions, the company behind the generic drug targeted in Hanaway’s lawsuit.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said he and other Republican senators have demanded answers from the FDA about its decision to approve the new drug but have yet to receive a response.
Evita Solutions did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

US-backed foreign broadcaster selling pricy news gear for pennies on the dollar to ‘spite’ taxpayers
A nonprofit news organization that is funded entirely by the U.S. government began selling off a large amount of its equipment on a public auction site – with many items being sold for pennies on the dollar.
Radio Free Asia (RFA) receives about $60 million a year from American taxpayers to produce news in Asia. The organization said it was suspending operations due to a lapse in funding during the government shutdown.
But while its website went dark, Fox News discovered that RFA had quietly begun selling off major portions of its expensive broadcast gear, including HD cameras, teleprompters, lenses and even office refrigerators.
Listings on a public auction site, Rasmus Auctions, show RFA-branded broadcast gear is being offered at fire sale prices.
CPB IRKED WITH NPR AFTER OUTLET TRIES TO BLOCK $58 MILLION IN DISPERSEMENTS TO NEW NONPROFIT
Some high-definition cameras are for sale for less than a dollar, teleprompters for ninety cents, professional lenses for under a dollar and a refrigerator listed for just twenty cents.
In total, more than a thousand pieces of equipment were offered for sale, which has sparked outrage.
California Congressman Darrell Issa, who had been working to restore RFA’s funding, called the online auction a betrayal to American taxpayers.
WHITE HOUSE MOVE TO CANCEL $4.9B FOREIGN AID WITH 'POCKET RESCISSION' BLASTED AS ILLEGAL
"I’ve never seen such belligerence by an organization that gets a hundred percent of its money from the U.S. government," Issa said. "Lenses you’d pay thousands of dollars for are being sold for pennies. It’s clear they’re liquidating assets out of spite."
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Radio Free Asia blamed the Trump administration’s earlier budget cuts.

They also pointed at the shutdown for forcing the organization to make difficult financial choices.
"The Administration’s unlawful termination and disruption of RFA’s timely funding, followed by an extended government shutdown, has forced the company to drastically reduce operational costs to set up for long-term success," the statement read.
"Shedding equipment we can no longer use, while retaining key personnel and assets, responsibly positions RFA to continue editorial operations that hold the Chinese Communist Party and other authoritarian governments to account," RFA said.
FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS VOICE OF AMERICA MASS TERMINATIONS IN SCATHING RULING AGAINST LAKE
"Our plan going forward is to build back once Congress and the Administration resolve our funding issues," the statement concluded.
However, Kari Lake, Deputy Executive at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees RFA, quickly disputed those claims.
"Everything they said was not true," Lake shot back.
CPB IRKED WITH NPR AFTER OUTLET TRIES TO BLOCK $58 MILLION IN DISPERSEMENTS TO NEW NONPROFIT
"We are funding them. We’ve given them every single penny appropriated to them. Eighty cents for an HD camera? That’s a slap in the face to taxpayers," Lake said.
In a letter to RFA sent Thursday, Lake wrote: "The insanity ends now. Be prepared to open your doors next week for our team of auditors to find out what on earth is going on at RFA, as permitted under the grant agreement and applicable regulations."
In further comments to Fox News, RFA said it hopes to restart its news operations if Congress restores its funding, and they have enough equipment to continue to operate if Congress decides to fund them moving forward.
Biden DOJ subpoenaed Jim Jordan's phone records covering more than two years
FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Justice subpoenaed the personal phone records of House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan in 2022, seeking the Ohio Republican's phone data covering a more than two-year period.
The subpoena, obtained by Fox News Digital, shows a federal prosecutor who later worked on special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 investigation ordered Verizon to hand over the phone data, also known as toll records, reaching back to Jan. 1, 2020.
The request appears to be the most expansive yet of the publicly known subpoenas targeting senators and current and former House members during Arctic Frost, the investigation that led to Smith bringing election-related charges against President Donald Trump.
JACK SMITH TARGETED THEN-HOUSE SPEAKER MCCARTHY’S PRIVATE PHONE RECORDS IN J6 PROBE, FBI DOCS REVEAL
Smith did not begin working as special counsel until seven months after the subpoena was issued, meaning the request pre-dated his time at the DOJ.
The subpoena for Jordan's records appears to be one of the first known ones in the Arctic Frost probe and was issued during a time when Jordan was serving as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, which conducts oversight of the DOJ. His role at the time is illustrative of Republicans' sharp criticisms of the Arctic Frost subpoenas, as they claim the requests for Congress members' phone records breached the separation of powers, including under the speech or debate clause.
The toll records did not include the contents of Jordan's phone calls or messages but did include details about when calls and messages were sent and received and with whom Jordan was communicating. The subpoena sought records for three other phone numbers, which were redacted. It included a one-year gag order signed by a D.C. magistrate judge.

Jordan, a close Trump ally, is the latest in a string of lawmakers to have recently learned that the DOJ sought their toll records as part of Arctic Frost. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's were sought in 2023, as were the records of what Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said were at least 10 Republican senators, including Sens. Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson.
Smith has said that his investigation into the Jan. 6 riot and 2020 election was consistent with DOJ policies and that the subpoenas he was involved with sending were "entirely proper" and narrowly tailored.
Verizon produced documents for the DOJ in response to the subpoena pertaining to Jordan, a source told Fox News Digital.
Verizon said in a statement it has been coordinating with the House and Senate Judiciary committees and "working tirelessly" to gather information on the subpoenas related to lawmakers.
"As part of our investigation, we uncovered new information regarding Chairman Jordan and shared it with him as soon as possible," Verizon spokesman Rich Young said. "We are committed to restoring trust through transparency and will continue to work with Congress and the administration as they examine these issues and consider reforms to expand notification protections."
AOC sounds off on Trump-Mamdani meeting as NYC's mayor-elect prepares to take office
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is prepared to meet with anybody ahead of his meeting with President Donald Trump.
Asked by a reporter on Thursday what her expectations were for the meeting, the congresswoman said, "We'll see."
"Obviously, the mayor-elect is going to be preparing for his inauguration," she said. "Of course, he's indicated that he's willing to sit down with anybody and everybody. So we'll see."
TRUMP SAYS HE WILL MEET NYC MAYOR-ELECT ZOHRAN MAMDANI THIS WEEK
Ocasio-Cortez was also asked if there were any policy issues the mayor-elect should address in his meeting with Trump.
"I think we let Zohran lead. He's been elected to lead New York City. I trust him as the mayor-elect, he'll do what he thinks is best for the city of New York," she said.
"We'll see how it goes," she added.
MAMDANI SAYS HE WILL MEET JAMIE DIMON, OTHER FINANCIAL TITANS IN NYC
Trump announced on Wednesday that he will meet with Mamdani at the White House this week.
"Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani, has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Further details to follow," the president said.
The meeting would mark the first encounter between Trump and Mamdani since the Democratic socialist’s victory in New York's mayoral race earlier this month.
Mamdani, a state assemblyman from Queens, is set to take office in January.
Man caught on camera approaching, spraying unknown substance toward Yellowstone wolves: rangers
National Park Service (NPS) rangers tracked down and cited a man who was seen on video approaching a wild wolf pack at Yellowstone National Park and spraying them with a suspicious substance.
Footage showed the unidentified man hopping toward the unbothered animals, seemingly taunting them as they retreated.
As he was backing up, the wolves started running toward him, at which point he started spraying an unknown substance in their direction.
NPS officials said the incident was reported to rangers, who later found and cited the man.
It is unclear what led the man to make the brazen advance, or what was in the spray captured on video.
While the incident remains under investigation, it does not appear the animals were harmed.

"We would recommend all visitors remember the following: Wolves may look beautiful, even fluffy from a distance, and that is part of their appeal. But they are still powerful wild predators, and treating them like pets puts both visitors and the animals at risk," NPS wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The National Park Service reminds all visitors that while our parks are open and accessible, they remain true wilderness. Wildlife are unpredictable and approaching them puts people and animals at risk."
They added when visitors get too close to wildlife, they may feel threatened and act in self-defense, especially if their young are nearby.
"It is the visitor’s responsibility to maintain a safe distance at all times," the NPS wrote. "Never approach, feed or disturb wildlife. If an animal moves toward you, back away and give it space. Zoom with your lens, not with your feet."
Human interaction can also harm wildlife by becoming habituated to human presence, which increases the likelihood of dangerous encounters and can disrupt hunting, feeding and breeding behaviors, according to the NPS.
In some cases, animals that become too familiar with people must be relocated or euthanized to protect public safety.
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb clears up rumors about why he, teammate were benched vs Raiders
Dallas Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb opened up about why he and teammate George Pickens were benched for the first drive of the team’s blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Lamb explained that he and Pickens were out late at a Las Vegas casino and were disciplined for returning past curfew. The wide receiver also said he wanted to refute reports on social media that he was seen throwing up at the casino the morning before the game.

"That’s a disrespect to even suggest that," Lamb said, via The Dallas Morning News. "I know how to hold my liquor."
Regardless of the benching, Lamb and Pickens had themselves a dynamite game.
Pickens had nine catches for 144 yards and a 37-yard touchdown catch. Lamb had five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Their touchdowns helped contribute to Dak Prescott’s incredible game as he was 25-of-33 with 268 passing yards and four touchdown passes.

Pickens, who was acquired by the Cowboys in the offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers, has had a terrific year in Dallas. He has 58 catches for 908 yards and seven touchdowns, as he’s pacing for his best season yet as a pro.
Lamb missed a couple of games with an injury. He has 40 catches for 557 yards and two touchdown catches.
The Cowboys, despite their stunning trade of Micah Parsons, are still hanging around playoff contention and have a big game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Dallas will enter the game 4-5-1 and Philadelphia will be at 8-2.

Trump admin gives $10k bonuses to air traffic controllers with perfect attendance during government shutdown
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Bryan Bedford announced Thursday that hundreds of air traffic controllers and technicians who worked during the government shutdown will receive bonus checks.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) said in a statement that 776 air traffic controllers and technicians will be awarded $10,000 for their "patriotic work to ensure the safety of the skies during the Democrats’ 44-day government shutdown."
"These patriotic men and women never missed a beat and kept the flying public safe throughout the shutdown," Duffy said in a statement. "Democrats may not care about their financial well-being, but President Trump does."
The secretary added, "This award is an acknowledgment of their dedication and a heartfelt appreciation for going above and beyond in service to the nation."
SEAN DUFFY WARNS OF RECORD STRAIN ON AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AHEAD OF FIRST MISSED PAYCHECK
DOT said checks would only be sent to workers who maintained perfect attendance during the recent shutdown and that the payments should arrive by Dec. 9, in time for the holidays.
"I am profoundly proud and grateful for the air traffic personnel who worked during extraordinary operational challenges to keep the National Airspace System (NAS) running safely during the longest government shutdown," Bedford said in a statement. "Their dedication represents the highest levels of public service."
The announcement came after President Donald Trump previously floated the idea of rewarding controllers who remained on the job, writing in a post on Truth Social last week, "For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn't take ANY TIME OFF for the 'Democrat Shutdown Hoax,' I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country."
"For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU," Trump added.
On Nov. 13, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem handed out $10,000 bonus checks to Transportation Security Administration TSA agents at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport who continued working during the shutdown.

White House press corps becoming 'Kremlin-esque,' former press sec Jen Psaki claims
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki accused the Trump administration of forming a "Kremlin-esque" press corps full of "sycophants" during briefings.
Psaki, who served as press secretary under the Biden administration, discussed her time behind the podium with journalist Katie Couric on Wednesday, contrasting her experience with that of the current administration. The MS NOW host argued that more recently the White House has been "re-shaping" the people in the press pool.
"More and more of the questions in there are by sycophants — by people who are not asking about news that the American people care about," Psaki said, accusing those reporters of pushing conspiracy theories in their questions.
She continued, "They are getting a lot of the questions. There are some of the people who are in the press pools. This means that reporters who are there to cover MBS [Mohammed bin Salman] being at the White House or to cover [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy being at the White House or to ask these questions that Mary Bruce fortunately asked yesterday, there are fewer of them. You don't know that and see that unless you've lived there, but that's a huge, huge problem because it's becoming more of a Kremlin-esque press corps."
Couric agreed, saying that the Trump administration has invited "right-wing media outlets" into the press corps. Psaki continued to compare the situation to media in Russia, suggesting that is what the administration wanted.
"It does remind me so much when I was at the State Department and I traveled with John Kerry," Psaki said. "You'd have like the Kremlin press corps. I mean they were the 'press corps' from 'media,' I'm putting that in quotes. But they literally reported to the Kremlin, following the foreign secretary around and foreign minister around. That's what I think maybe they want."
JEN PSAKI HOLDS MOCK PRESS BRIEFING TRASHING 'MAGA SPIN' ON WHITE HOUSE QUESTIONS
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
The Trump administration made several changes to the press pool and reporter access since President Donald Trump took office in January. In February, the White House allowed nontraditional media sites to apply for briefing room access.
Last month, the White House also announced that reporters would no longer be authorized to freely access certain staff offices without an appointment. The White House Correspondents’ Association condemned the decision.
MSNBC'S PSAKI CORRECTS HERSELF AFTER ACCIDENTALLY REFERRING TO TRUMP AS A 'PREDATOR'
Current White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the change on "Pod Force One" Wednesday, saying some reporters were caught listening in on private conversations.
"We felt it became very inappropriate for reporters to be loitering around sensitive information in our offices," Leavitt said. "And we did unfortunately catch some unruly reporters recording us without our permission, listening in on conversations, eavesdropping."
