Trump's Republican Party insists there's no affordability crisis and dismisses election losses
SUMMARY: Many Republican leaders insist there's no problem with the GOP's policies, the party's message or President Donald Trump’s leadership, despite big losses in this month's elections. Trump says Democrats and the media are misleading voters who are concerned about high costs and the economy. Republican officials aiming to avoid another defeat in the 2026 midterms are encouraging candidates to embrace the president fully and talk more about his accomplishments. That assessment by GOP officials shows how much the party's fate is tied to Trump. He plans to focus more on affordability but insists the economy has never been stronger: "The prices are coming down,” he told reporters Sunday night as he returned to Washington from his Florida resort.

Visitors to a New Jersey zoo get to watch veterinarians treat the animals
SUMMARY: The latest attraction at one New Jersey zoo isn't a particular species. It's the opportunity to see veterinarians at work with their wide range of animal patients. The Turtle Back Zoo this year became one of the relatively few U.S. zoos that routinely give the public a view of veterinary care. There’s no exact count, but it’s perhaps a dozen or fewer of the 250 animal parks accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Some zoos see putting vets on view as a form of transparency. Turtle Back Zoo officials hope it will be educational and help visitors relate to animals and get involved in conservation. The zoo's upgraded veterinary hospital opened in April. Visitors can see into the room where animals get exams.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders has a rough NFL debut after relieving the injured Dillon Gabriel
SUMMARY: Shedeur Sanders finally got the opportunity to show what he could do as an NFL quarterback. In one half of action, the Cleveland Browns rookie showed he still faces a steep learning curve. The son of Deion Sanders entered with 12:43 remaining in the third quarter against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday after Cleveland announced that Dillon Gabriel was being evaluated for a concussion. Gabriel was ruled out later in the quarter. Sanders completed his first two passes, but not much went right after that. He went 4 for 16 for 47 yards with an interception and was sacked twice, finishing with a 13.5 passer rating as the Ravens rallied for a 23-16 victory.

Abdul Carter benched for Giants' first defensive series on what Mike Kafka called a coach's decision

Kafka called it a coach's decision and said the reason would remain in house. Carter told reporters in the locker room he made a mistake during the week without specifying what it was other than saying he knows actions have consequences. He got his first snap 6 1/2 minutes in on special teams as part of the Giants' punt coverage unit. Carter had one tackle in the 27-20 loss to Green Bay.

After Joe Flacco gave the Bengals a jolt last month, loss to Steelers has team reeling
SUMMARY: The Cincinnati Bengals’ plan to have Joe Flacco keep them competitive until Joe Burrow can return from toe surgery has hit a major snag. Flacco was riding high after his first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, a 33-31 victory on Oct. 16. But the 40-year-old struggled in Sunday’s rematch, throwing a costly interception as the Bengals lost 34-12 to extend their skid to three games. The Bengals lost four straight before beating the Steelers last month. They haven’t won since, and their chances of staying in contention in the weak AFC North are dwindling.

Lions' 4th-down flops, 3rd-down failures doom them in 16-9 loss in Philadelphia
SUMMARY: Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions struggled against the Philadelphia Eagles, losing 16-9 on Sunday night.

The Lions, who averaged over 31 points per game, managed just one touchdown. Coach Dan Campbell, who recently took over play-calling duties, admitted he didn’t help the team.

Jalen Hurts' lone touchdown leads Eagles to 16-9 victory over Lions in lackluster offensive game
SUMMARY: Jalen Hurts scored the only touchdown for the Philadelphia Eagles in a 16-9 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. The Eagles are the only team in the NFC East with more than three wins and the second one in the conference to eight wins. Their 8-2 record puts them in contention to take the top seed and earn home-field advantage as the Super Bowl champions go for a repeat. The Lions failed to convert on five fourth-down attempts and were 3 of 13 on third down. Jake Elliott kicked three field goals for the Eagles.

Prosecutor: Antonio Brown could face 30 years in prison if guilty of attempted murder with gun
SUMMARY: Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted of attempted murder because a firearm was used, a prosecutor said Monday. Brown appeared via Zoom at a brief arraignment hearing in which his lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, repeated that Brown already entered a not guilty plea. He was released from jail last week on a $25,000 bond and required to wear an ankle monitor. An attempted murder charge in Florida carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence, a prosecutor said because Brown allegedly used a gun he could face double that time behind bars because of a firearm sentencing enhancement. It also carries a potential 20-year minimum mandatory sentence upon conviction.
