Both teams will head into next week with a 0-0-1 record, as neither could find a field goal or the end zone in overtime. It was almost a big upset for the Texans, as quarterback Davis Mills and key defensive stops led Houston to a 20-3 lead at one point in this game. Colts quarterback Matt Ryan and All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor had to fight to make it 20-20 at the end of the fourth quarter.

Then, just five plays into their drive, the Texans were forced to punt. With only a few seconds left on the clock, the Colts, deep in their own zone, had no chance to win the game. Mills was very efficient in this game, throwing for 240 yards on 23-for-37 with two touchdowns. His favorite target was Brandin Cooks, who had seven catches for 82 yards, but it was tight end O.J. Howard who had two touchdowns for his two catches.

Taylor would lead the way with 161 yards on 31 carries with his touchdown. The key was big defensive stops for the Texans early in this game, forcing a turnover on downs in the first quarter that ended on the Houston two-yard line. The Texans would drive to a field goal to take the 3-0 lead. Then, an interception on the very next drive off Ryan would lead to a touchdown for Mills, Howard for his first of two scores on the day. In the second half, Houston scored on their first drive, making it 13-0. The Texans would eventually get it to 20-3 after Howard’s second touchdown, but the Colts weren’t going to lay down after that.

The Steelers almost tied the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday as well, until kicker Chris Boswell hit a field goal to end the game in the last seconds of overtime. | | | | | WaPo reports Americans are 'finally feeling better' about having to deal with inflation | | Sep 12, 2022 | | The Washington Post published a news article by economy reporter Abha Bhattarai that said Americans are getting used to inflation and "learning to deal with" it. This runs contrary to various indicators, including a Gallup poll which found that 56% of Americans said inflation is causing hardship. "After months of gloom, Americans are finally starting to feel better about the economy and more resigned to inflation," Bhattarai wrote. "Americans are making small changes — buying meat in bulk, for example, or shifting more of their shopping to discount chains — suggesting that many families are learning to deal with higher prices," she continued. VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX TO CATEGORIZE GUN STORE SALES SEPARATELY Following similar talking points as the White House, Bhattarai emphasized gas coming down from a record high of $5, saying the "25 percent drop in costs has been substantial for many Americans." "Overall inflation, meanwhile, has eased slightly — prices remained flat in July, though they’re still up 8.5 percent from a year ago — as a result of aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve," she wrote. The article detailed the account of Nils Haaland, a man in Omaha who said "soaring prices for fuel and food this summer forced him and his wife to stop dining out, postpone summer travel and buy less meat." "Although prices are still relatively high, he says he feels less worried that inflation will continue to spiral out of control," The Post reported. NEW HAMPSHIRE DEM SEN. SAYS BIDEN TOOK ‘TOO LONG’ TO ADDRESS INFLATION The article also detailed the story of Jack Foote, a California man who planned to retire in June but stayed at his job over fears that the economy will falter further. "Although inflation is still a top priority for U.S. voters in the run-up to the midterm elections, the share of Americans who say it is their biggest concern has fallen," Bhattarai reported. "The Fed’s latest ‘beige book’ report, released this week, found that many households have traded down to cheaper goods and are shifting more of their spending toward essentials like food," Bhattarai wrote. "That has certainly been the case at Walmart, where executives say they’re seeing more middle- and high-income customers than usual," she said. This is not the first mainstream media article geared at lowering the American public's expectations regarding their standard of living due to inflation. Last year, Bloomberg published an article titled "For Americans Shocked by Inflation, Argentines Have Some Advice" which detailed ways in which Americans should modify their behavior and lower their expectations in order to cope with inflation. | | | | | Steelers' Chris Boswell kicks game-winning field goal after Bengals come back | | Sep 12, 2022 | | For a while there, it didn’t look like the Pittsburgh Steelers nor the Cincinnati Bengals wanted to win their first game of the 2022 NFL regular season on Sunday afternoon. The Steelers had Joe Burrow and the Bengals right where they wanted them for most of the game. However, Burrow led the reigning AFC champions to a comeback and had the team in the best spot possible to finish the game, but Evan McPherson’s PAT attempt was blocked. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM In overtime, Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had his first game-winning field-goal try doink off the crossbar, but his second try was good as time was nearly about to expire. Pittsburgh won 23-20. The Steelers’ defense had Burrow wrapped around their fingers for most of the game. Burrow had three interceptions, including a Pick Six from Minkah Fitzpatrick, and a fumble in the first half. Pittsburgh led 17-6 at the end of the first half, but Burrow led the comeback. JUSTIN FIELDS LEADS BEARS TO MASSIVE UPSET OVER 49ERS He had two touchdown passes — one to Tyler Boyd and the other to Ja’Marr Chase. The touchdown to Chase at the end of regulation tied the game but McPherson’s kick for the win was blocked. The Steelers held strong even after losing T.J. Watt and Najee Harris to injuries during the game. Mitchell Trubisky was 21-for-38 with 194 passing yards and a touchdown pass to Harris. Pat Freiermuth led the Steelers with five catches for 75 yards. Chase Claypool led the way on the ground with 36 rushing yards on six carries. Fitzpatrick had 14 total tackles to go along with his incredible day. Watt had a sack before he left with what the Steelers reportedly fear is a torn pectoral. Burrow was 33-for-53 with 338 passing yards, two touchdown passes and four interceptions. Joe Mixon led the way with 82 rushing yards and Chase had 10 catches for 129 yards and the score. | | | | | MSNBC columnist: 'Not clear why' Carnegie Mellon condemned professor's wish for Queen's 'excruciating' death | | Sep 11, 2022 | | Carnegie Mellon was wrong to say it did not condone a controversial tweet by one of its professors wishing "excruciating" pain on the dying Queen Elizabeth II, MSNBC columnist Zeeshan Aleem claimed on Saturday. On Thursday, Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in the country, passed away peacefully in her sleep at age 96. Before the announcement was made, there was talk of the Queen's health taking a turn for the worst. While many people expressed sorrow, some progressive figures attacked both the Queen and the monarchy. Professor Uju Anya viciously attacked the Queen in a tweet that was later deleted by Twitter for violating rules on abusive behavior. "I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating," Anya tweeted. MSNBC GUEST CLAIMS QUEEN ELIZABETH SYMBOLIZED ‘WHITE SUPREMACY’: ‘NOT SURE WHY I SHOULD BE SAD TODAY’ After the tweet went viral, the university released a statement that distanced itself from Anya’s tweet while defending her right to free speech. "We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her personal social media account. Free expression is core to the mission of higher education, however, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster," the statement read. According to Aleem, however, that statement should not have been made. "Universities almost never issue statements like this because the very premise of a university is to serve as a bastion of independent thinking and provide a forum for intellectual free-for-alls. A university would never be presumed to endorse any of its scholars' individual beliefs, which is key for academia as a space for provocation to thrive. So in effect, this statement was a condemnation and implicitly a signal to other academics at the university that they should watch their mouth on certain matters. While the motivation behind the unusual statement is unclear, it underscores how vulnerable public intellectuals are to controversy-driven social media pile-ons," Aleem wrote. While Aleem claimed that he does not "approve" of Anya’s original tweet, he defended her position from a historical perspective and as a scholar. "But what’s undeniable is that it stems from a place of personal hurt and political opposition to the imperial history and legacy of the British monarchy. Even if one found Anya’s statement distasteful, it’s also critical to recognize how distasteful the whitewashing of the British empire has been in the official British narratives celebrating Elizabeth’s life. Beneath the comment about suffering, Anya’s tweet stakes out a position on politics and history, something scholars are expected to do," he wrote. He also criticized the university for distancing itself from the professor’s tweet while claiming to support freedom of speech. "Carnegie Mellon felt the need to distance itself from this, and it’s not clear why. Anya’s tweet and some of her responses to the pile-on could be described as rude or mean-spirited, but scholars and thinkers of all kinds are rude or mean-spirited all the time — and often while defending heinous ideas. And yet these exchanges, whether online or in some other form of public correspondence, don’t typically elicit condemnations from the universities that employ them," Aleem argued. PROGRESSIVE MEDIA FIGURES SLAM QUEEN ELIZABETH AS ‘OPPRESSIVE RULER,’ ‘MOSTLY KNOWN FOR RACISM’ In January, the Georgetown University Law Center put its incoming executive director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution under "investigation" and on administrative leave for a tweet that criticized President Biden's pledge to only consider a Black woman for the Supreme Court. It does not appear Aleem has written about this incident. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Although Aleem insisted on defending Anya’s right to defend "heinous ideas," MSNBC was one of many media organizations that have fretted about too much "free speech" on Twitter. Several MSNBC anchors have claimed that GOP arguments to defend free speech are mostly made to defend White supremacists. | | | | | | | Tua Tagovailoa leads Dolphins to win in opener vs. Patriots | | Sep 11, 2022 | | The new-look Miami Dolphins’ offense got off to a hot start in the first game of the regular season on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Tua Tagovailoa was 23-for-33 with 270 passing yards and a touchdown pass in Miami’s 20-7 victory over New England. His lone touchdown pass came in the second quarter on a dart to Jaylen Waddle. The touchdown was set up after Tyreek Hill stole an interception away from a Patriots defender.

Hill, in his Dolphins debut, had eight catches for 94 yards. Waddle had four catches for 69 yards. Chase Edmonds led the Dolphins with 25 yards on the ground on 12 carries. He also had four catches for 40 yards. It was a tough day for the Patriots. NFL FANS BELT OUT NATIONAL ANTHEM BEFORE JETS-RAVENS GAME AS 9/11 REMEMBRANCES OCCUR AROUND THE LEAGUE New England turned the ball over three times and couldn’t get anything going on offense. Mac Jones was also banged up and was dealing with a back issue at the end of the game. Jones finished 21-for-30 for 213 passing yards and a touchdown pass to Ty Montgomery in the third quarter. Jones had an interception to Jevon Holland and lost a fumble. Wide receiver Nelson Agholor had three catches for 28 yards and a fumble. Jakobi Meyers had four catches for 55 yards, leading the team in receiving. It’s the second straight season-opening loss for the Patriots. Miami defeated New England 17-16 in Week 1 last year. | | | | | Sen. Tester defends Biden's anti-MAGA speech, says president was referring to people who support 'violence' | | Sep 11, 2022 | | Democratic Montana Sen. Jon Tester defended President Joe Biden’s anti-MAGA speech from earlier this month, arguing the president was denouncing Republicans who think "violence is is is a way to solve problems," not all supporters of former President Donald Trump. "I live in north central Montana. Many of my neighbors, many of my friends, many of my relatives are supporters of the former president. I can also tell you that they're not extremists. They just believe in the policies that the president had," Tester told Fox News’ Shannon Bream during her debut as the new, permanent anchor of "FOX News Sunday." "But I don't think those are the people that the president's talking about. I think he's talking about the people that actually do support the president that think violence is a way to solve problems. And it's not." Tester was responding to a recent piece published by constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who slammed the president’s recent speech and pointed to a Trafalgar poll that found 56% of voters believed Biden’s speech tried to "incite conflict." TOP BIDEN OFFICIAL SAYS ANTI-MAGA SPEECH'S 'OPTIMISM' CALLS 'OUT TO ALL OF US' REGARDLESS OF PARTY "For many, the speech was the final refutation of Biden’s pledge to be a unifier as president after two years of highly partisan and divisive actions," Turley wrote. Tester responded to the poll and Turley’s comment that Biden’s speech was not "casting all Republicans" as extremists, but was allegedly condemning "fringe" Republicans. "Look back as far as Jan. 6, and see what happened. There were folks [who] came to Washington, D.C., and brought here by the president, that ended up in a really, really bad situation. So that's kind of how I look at it. I don't think he is casting all Republicans in that case. In fact, he specifically says it's the ones that are on the fringe that he's talking about," he said. Critics have lambasted Biden for what they say was an angry speech on Sept. 1, where the president repeatedly took aim at the millions of Americans who voted for former President Trump in 2020. The set of the speech was also ridiculed for featuring a "blood red" background that was characterized as "hellish." SHANNON BREAM PLANS TO CONTINUE GRILLING POLICYMAKERS AS NEW ‘FOX NEWS SUNDAY’ ANCHOR The president argued in his remarks that "MAGA Republicans" are a threat to democracy. "MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution," Biden said while flanked by Marines in front of a red backdrop. "They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people." "This is a nation that believes in the rule of law," he added. "We do not repudiate it." Trump also blasted Biden's speech in remarks at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, last Saturday evening, calling the president an "enemy of the state." "This week, Joe Biden came to Philadelphia to give the most vicious, hateful, and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president," Trump told the crowd. "Vilifying 75 million citizens, plus another probably 75 to 150 if we want to be accurate about it, as threats to democracy and enemies of the state. You’re all enemies of the state." Trump continued: "He’s the enemy of the state, if you want to know the truth." | | | | | Steelers believe TJ Watt suffered devastating injury vs. Bengals: report | | Sep 11, 2022 | | The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly fear that the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, defensive end T.J. Watt, suffered a torn pectoral in their Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Watt will be scheduled to undergo scans on Monday to confirm if their fear is a reality, ESPN reported. Watt ran off the field late in the game with his left side looking limp. As the TV camera panned close to Watt, it appears that he knew immediately that he tore his pec, pointing to it as he reached the sideline. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM It goes without saying how much Watt means to this Pittsburgh defense, and if the tests come back positive, it will leave a massive hole on the defensive line. Watt won the Defensive Player of the Year last season by totaling 22.5 sacks over 16 games to lead the NFL. In this contest, he had one sack, three tackles of his six for loss and even jumped in the air to snag an interception from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. BENGALS' JOE BURROW HAS ONE OF WORST FIRST-HALF PERFORMANCES IN NFL HISTORY Simply put, Watt is a game wrecker that can't be replicated. The Steelers ended up winning this game against their division rival despite Watt having to come out of the game. It almost didn't end that way when Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught a Burrow throw for the game-tying touchdown. STEELERS TO PAY TRIBUTE TO DWAYNE HASKINS DURING 2022 SEASON WITH HELMET DECAL But the extra point was blocked by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was superb in this game. He started off the scoring with a pick-six on Burrow's first pass attempt of the season, and his efforts on that extra point allowed Chris Boswell to hit a 53-yard field goal in the final seconds of overtime to start the season on the right foot. However, with Watt's injury, the win may be bittersweet for head coach Mike Tomlin and the rest of the Steelers. | | | | | |
