Pick! Dolphins 16-0 Bills 5:59, 3rd quarterI think I may have spoken to soon,It appears to just not be Buffalo’s day,Josh Allen throws an ugly pick in the end zone,Ifeatu Melifonwu says thank you very, very much,Dolphins 16-0 Bills 6:39, 3rd quarterBuffalo enter the red zone for the first time in this game.

I wonder when the last time a team prevented Josh Allen from making it inside the 20-yard line for an entire half?On that note Allen quickly takes them to 1st & Goal with a keeper up the middle.Six first downs on this drive v four in the first half.Dolphins 16-0 Bills 10:09, 3rd quarterJosh Allen is quite special too.The quarterback has the ball for an absolute age as he runs backwards and loops around from left to right.He points to Curtis Samuel telling him where to be, the receiver says “Yessir” and is on hand to convert Buffalo’s first third down of the day.

They then convert another to keep the wheels moving.That improvisation from Allen could be the spark the Bills need.TOUCHDOWN! Bears 7-17 Giants 12:17, 3rd quarterJaxson Dart scrambles left and looks for the end zone.The rookie finds it for a 24-yard rushing touchdown.This kid is special.

Pick! Vikings 10-9 Ravens 12:41, 3rd quarterStrange looking interception for JJ McCarthy as he throws the bomb to Justin Jefferson but his receiver falls over,All alone Marlon Humphrey cannot believe his luck,He is looking around in disbelief as he wanders back up field from the end zone,Weird,TreVeyon Henderson rips a 55-yard home run.

The rookie running back showcases his elite speed to shoot through the gap in the line,And he is OUTTA HERE,Superb,The Pats score with the final play of the half then hit again quickly upon resuming,The Bucs will be wondering what has hit them.

Pick! Texans 10-20 Jaguars 0:17, 2nd quarterUnreal interception in Houston.Derek Stingley Jr reaches out in front of Trammell and pulls off a one-handed pick.Get this man on offense now.Jets 17-14 Browns 0:55, 2nd quarterJustin Fields is having another statistically sad day.But who cares really as the Jets special teams have them leading, for now at least.

The quarterback is 3/6 for a net loss of five yards and one interception.The Browns defense is nasty, the Jets offense is nastier.Myles Garret snaffles his second sack of the day to force the punt.TOUCHDOWN! Texans 10-20 Jaguars 1:19, 2nd quarterJust as I put the scores out the Texans muck it all up.Woody Marks finds the edge out left and saunters home for a crucial score before the break.

So with five games in for a break here are the scores on the boards.There are 33 seconds left in Miami, Dalton Kincaid with a bad drop there.Tough in the rain though.Bills let the clock die and are in a big hole.Carolina Panthers 7-10 New Orleans SaintsChicago Bears 7-10 New York GiantsHouston Texans 3-20 Jacksonville JaguarsMiami Dolphins 16-0 Buffalo BillsMinnesota Vikings 10-9 Baltimore RavensNew York Jets 17-14 Cleveland BrownsTampa Bay Buccaneers 10-14 New England PatriotsA punishing 7min 16sec drive from the Patriots arrives at the goal line.

Mike Vrabel gets cute by wasting the clock and purposefully running the ball without the intention of scoring on first down.On second they go for it and get stuffed.Slightly embarrassing.On the third attempt Henderson is inches from breaking the plain but the Bucs stay strong.If the Bucs get the stop here on 4th down that would be huge.

They pass it.Red zone specialist Stefon Diggs makes the grab under extreme pressure.Amazing play to get his feet down as he falls out on to the sideline.He just scrapes them on the turf and holds on to the ball for the score.What a play.

Not how the Patriots wanted to take the lead into half-time but what a relief for New England.So unlucky for Tampa.TOUCHDOWN! Jets 14-14 Browns 10:34, 2nd quarter“A gorgeous throw from Dillon Gabriel,” says the commentator in New Jersey.He isn’t wrong.Gabriel levels it up with a dime to Jerry Jeudy in the end zone.

The receiver makes the diving grab for a 22-yard set of six points,Dolphins 13-0 Bills 9:13, 2nd quarterA comedy of errors unfolding in Miami,James Cook coughs up an absolute nightmare of a fumble,He lets go of it and the ball bounces end over end toward the end zone, Miami players keep diving and missing until one eventually just manages to snag it,Josh Allen looks very annoyed.

The Dolphins take over on their five-yard line.Pick! Vikings 10-3 Ravens 10:33, 2nd quarterMalaki Starks makes his first NFL interception.It is an absolute beauty, he absolutely posterises Justin Jefferson with a leap up and ahead of him to make the grab.The Ravens take over at Baltimore’s 22-yard line.TOUCHDOWN! Texans 0-17 Jaguars 11:40, 2nd quarterParker Washington is playing a blinder in Houston! He made the toe-tapper for Jacksonville’s first score and has just returned a punt 72 yards for another touchdown.

Single handedly demolishing the Texans.It looks over already with Davis Mills still in at quarterback over the injured CJ Stroud.TOUCHDOWN! Panthers 7-10 Saints 9:21, 2nd quarterNo Rashid Shaheed, no problem.Chris Olave is pretty good at tearing the roof off the defense too apparently.A lovely stutter move creates the room for Olave to catch from Tyler Shough, who is then off to the races up the right sideline for a 62-yard bomb.

TOUCHDOWN! Dolphins 13-0 Bills 14:52, 2nd quarterAs scorelines go this one is very unexpected,Tua Tagovailoa gives the Dolphins a two-score lead with a fantastic throw to Jaylen Waddle in the end zone,The speedster cruises by the defender and is right on time to catch the 38-yard score,Extra point is no good,Kyle Williams breaks the top off the Bucs defense with a monster 72-yard touchdown.

Drake Maye slings it to the open Williams who beats his man and is off like a rocket up the right sideline,A perfect throw from Maye to the receiver perfectly in stride,Huge smile from Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel,He knows his quarterback is special,Special teams are truly special for the Jets.

Not happy with just a kick-off return, Isaiah Williams returns a punt for a 74-yard score.Unreal.J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!TOUCHDOWN! Dolphins 7-0 Bills A surprise early lead for Miami (2-7) against AFC East rivals Buffalo (6-2), Malik Washington with the score.Latest scores: Panthers 7-3 Saints Bears 7-0 Giants Texans 0-10 Jaguars Dolphins 0-0 Bills Vikings 7-3 Ravens Jets 7-7 Browns Buccaneers 7-0 PatriotsTOUCHDOWN! The first score of the 6pm (GMT) games comes in Tampa, Emeka Agbuka putting the Buccaneers up on the Patriots in the Tom Brady classic.Right, here’s what we’ve got coming up:(5-4) Carolina Panthers v New Orleans Saints (1-8) (5-3) Chicago Bears v New York Giants (2-7) (3-5) Houston Texans v Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) (2-7) Miami Dolphins v Buffalo Bills (6-2) (4-4) Minnesota Vikings v Baltimore Ravens (3-5) (1-7) New York Jets v Cleveland Browns (2-6) (6-2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers v New England Patriots (7-2)Jonathan Taylor speaking on Sky Sports after his 286-yard day: “We understood the assignment!”Six more for Taylor on first down and now it’s all about ball security, at least so you think.

Taylor puts it beyong doubt as he goes untouched into the end zone to win it as Warren clears the way.Colts 25-25 Falcons 4:44, OTTaylor makes seven hard yards on first down but can’t make any more on second but then finds a gap on third down.First down and Taylor has more than 250 all purpose yards.Colts into the redzone.Colts 25-25 Falcons 6:44, OTTyler Warren makes a huge play! Lovely touch on the throw from Jones and the Colts are now probably in good enough position to win this, down to the Falcons’ 22.

Colts 25-25 Falcons 7:29, OTIt’s not a great kick and Downs manages to get a few extra yards.Jones will have nice field position to start and they now only need a field goal.Colts 25-25 Falcons 8:14, OTThe Falcons cannot get anything going and facing third and long, again, Penix is sacked by Zaire Franklin.They will have to punt.Colts 25-25 Falcons 9:06, OTPenix faces pressure on third down and with the ball harmlessly hitting the turf, but there’s a flag.

New set of downs.Lot’s of confusion there as the Falcons opt to let the clock run out for a juicy bit of overtime.Berlin with an absolute banger! Danke schöne!It’s good! Colts 25-25 Falcons 0:25, 4th quarterJones is sacked again bringing up another 3rd down.The Colts dump off a short pass to move the kicker closer to tie this up.Badgley has missed two already today.

I can’t look.It’s … GOOD! 44-yard strike levels it.“They love their kickers over here,” quips Kurt Warner.Yeah, we sure love it when they kick the ball in Europe.Colts 22-25 Falcons 1:11, 4th quarterAtlanta’s pass rush wins again on the very next play.

A sixth sack of Jones rocks the Colts back to 3rd & 21.The QB is forced to scramble with no receivers open and he is so, so close to getting it.4th & 2, pressure, Jones lofts it to Warren who is under even more pressure from Bolin, but makes the catch to move the chains.Brilliant.Colts 22-25 Falcons 1:32, 4th quarterAmeer Abdullah comes up huge for the Colts on the kick return.

The speedster races up to midfield giving Jones excellent position to go with the handy amount of clock,After all the excitement, Tyler Warren may have just fumbled,Indy await the referees call nervously,INCOMPLETE,2nd & 10 to go with one timeout in hand.

And they keep slicing and dicing.Tyler Allgeier gets a hat-trick of hand offs that work perfectly.He just keeps banging until he is stopped on the goal line.They keep it with him for the one-yard score.Drake London snatches up the two-point conversion too

US private equity giant poised to take over online retailer The Very Group

The Barclay family is set to lose control of another part of their former business empire with a US private equity firm taking control of online retailer the Very Group.Washington-headquartered Carlyle Group is expected to announce it has taken over the retailer as soon as Monday morning.The change of control will bring to an end more than 20 years under the ownership of the Barclay family, which has been forced to give up a series of businesses – including the Telegraph newspaper, London’s Ritz hotel, and delivery company Yodel – that made them into billionaires, and one of the richest families in Britain.The Very Group’s board, chaired by former Conservative chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, met on Sunday to confirm the change of ownership, according to Sky News, which first reported the move.The Barclay family, led by identical twins David and Frederick, had owned Very since buying it in 2002 – when it was a catalogue retailer known as Littlewoods – for £750m

Last Christmas, you gave us first class: Royal Mail turns Scrooge with gift to staff of second-class stamps

Royal Mail says that it has “delivered Christmas” for more than 500 years, but this year many workers have been left feeling less than festive after the company downgraded a small gift to workers to second class.The postal service, which traces its history back to the appointment of a “master of the posts” by Henry VIII in 1516, has given workers a collection of 50 Christmas stamps to recognise their work over the busiest time of year. In previous years, including in 2024, workers have received a book of 50 or 100 first-class stamps, but that has quietly been switched to second class this year.The downgraded perk has caused bemusement among Royal Mail’s workers. It is the first Christmas since Royal Mail’s parent company, International Distribution Services (IDS), was bought by Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský

Elon Musk makes himself far-right fixture after White House departure

The Tesla CEO once hinted he was done with politics – but he’s been leaning further into the international far rightWhen the far-right activist Tommy Robinson emerged from a London courtroom this week after a judge cleared him of a terrorism charge, he gave thanks to the man he said had bankrolled his defense.“Elon Musk, I’m forever grateful. If you didn’t step in and fund my legal fight I’d probably be in jail,” Robinson said. “Thank you, Elon.”In the period immediately after Musk’s messy departure from the White House, the Tesla CEO repeatedly suggested that he was done with politics

ChatGPT accused of acting as ‘suicide coach’ in series of US lawsuits

ChatGPT has been accused of acting as a “suicide coach” in a series of lawsuits filed this week in California alleging that interactions with the chatbot led to severe mental breakdowns and several deaths.The seven lawsuits include allegations of wrongful death, assisted suicide, involuntary manslaughter, negligence and product liability.Each of the seven plaintiffs initially used ChatGPT for “general help with schoolwork, research, writing, recipes, work, or spiritual guidance”, according to a joint statement from the Social Media Victims Law Center and Tech Justice Law Project, which filed the lawsuits in California on Thursday.Over time, however, the chatbot “evolved into a psychologically manipulative presence, positioning itself as a confidant and emotional support”, the groups said.“Rather than guiding people toward professional help when they needed it ChatGPT reinforced harmful delusions, and, in some cases, acted as a ‘suicide coach’
