Broncos vencen a Bills 33-30 tras intercepción de McMillian y avanzan por título de AFC
Por ARNIE STAPLETON
DENVER (AP) — Ja’Quan McMillian interceptó el sábado un pase profundo de Josh Allen en tiempo extra, y Bo Nix llevó a los Broncos a la posición para el gol de campo de 23 yardas de Wil Lutz que envió a Denver al juego de campeonato de la AFC con una victoria de 33-30 sobre los Bills de Buffalo.
La intercepción de McMillian fue la quinta recuperación de balón de Denver en el juego; los Broncos entraron a los playoffs con un diferencial de pérdidas de balón de menos tres. McMillian le arrebató el balón a Brandin Cooks en la línea de 20 yardas de los Broncos cuando un gol de campo habría ganado el juego para Buffalo.
Los Broncos (15-3) se enfrentarán a Nueva Inglaterra o Houston por el título de la AFC el próximo domingo en el Empower Field en Mile High, donde el equipo de Denver, que ocupa el primer lugar, ha ganado 14 de sus últimos 15 juegos.
“Jugamos contra un muy buen equipo de fútbol. Jugaron muy bien esta noche. Nos dieron una gran pelea en una semana corta después de un juego difícil la semana pasada, así que mis respetos para ellos. Encontramos la manera de ganar de nuevo y nuestra defensa hizo paradas, y estoy orgulloso de nuestros muchachos. Estoy orgulloso de esta organización. Estoy orgulloso de la forma en que competimos y luchamos”, dijo Nix.
El entrenador de los Broncos, Sean Payton, lamentó la ofensiva intermitente de Denver y el desempeño de uno de cuatro en la zona roja.
Los Bills (13-6) fueron penalizados por interferencia de pase dos veces en la última serie ofensiva de Denver.
El ex pateador de los Broncos, Matt Prater, acertó un gol de campo de 50 yardas con cinco segundos restantes en el tiempo reglamentario, empatando el marcador a 30. Eso ocurrió después de que el pase de touchdown de 26 yardas de Nix a Marvin Mims Jr. con 55 segundos restantes le diera a Denver una ventaja de 30-27.
Allen, quien no había perdido el balón en sus seis apariciones previas en playoffs, lanzó dos intercepciones y perdió dos balones sueltos. P.J. Locke también interceptó a Allen.
Payton insistió en que el juego debería haber terminado antes en tiempo extra cuando un defensor de Denver fue sujetado en la zona de anotación antes de que Allen escapara de la zona de anotación.
James Cook corrió para 117 yardas en 24 acarreos pero perdió un balón suelto.
Payton había lamentado la derrota de los Broncos ante los Bills 31-7 en Buffalo en los playoffs pasados.
Esta temporada lideraron la liga en capturas (68), empatando un récord de franquicia con 14 victorias en la temporada regular, ganando 11 juegos por un solo punto y teniendo 11 remontadas.
“No estábamos listos el año pasado. Pero lo estábamos listos hoy”, señaló.

Reos en tres prisiones de Guatemala toman como rehenes a decenas de guardias
CIUDAD DE GUATEMALA (AP) — Varias decenas de guardias fueron tomados como rehenes el sábado por reclusos en tres prisiones de Guatemala luego de una serie de disturbios aparentemente coordinados, informaron las autoridades.
Marco Antonio Villeda, ministro del Interior, señaló que estaba dispuesto a iniciar un diálogo con los reclusos para obtener la liberación de los 46 custodios, pero no accedería a sus demandas.
La agencia de Villeda afirmó horas antes en un comunicado que los disturbios fueron resultado directo de la decisión de los administradores de las prisiones de retirar privilegios a algunos líderes de pandillas que se encuentran encarcelados.
““En Guatemala no se negocia con terroristas ni con el crimen organizado”, señaló el comunicado. “Tampoco se tolera que grupos que han sembrado violencia pretendan imponer sus condiciones”.
Las autoridades desplegaron a elementos de la Policía Nacional alrededor de las prisiones afectadas. No se reportaron heridos ni muertos.
En videos que circularon en redes sociales se puede ver a prisioneros que exigieron su traslado.
El presidente Bernardo Arévalo aceptó en octubre la renuncia de tres altos funcionarios de seguridad, incluido el predecesor de Villeda, después de que las autoridades admitieron que 20 pandilleros habían escapado en los últimos días.
“Hay que cortar el vínculo entre el sistema carcelario y la criminalidad afuera”, dijo Arévalo el jueves en una entrevista con The Associated Press. “Y por eso todo el esfuerzo para recuperar el control del sistema carcelario es muy importante”.

Cook County opens courthouses for cold weather shelter second time this year
Patrick Nolan, an operating engineer at Cook County facilities management, said it was cots in the cafeteria when Cook County courthouses first started consistently opening as warming centers in 2017.
Over the years, Nolan said several organizations pitched in to donate blankets, snacks, water and even pet kennels for people sheltering overnight and during the day in the courthouses. The kennels are important so people do not have to abandon their pets in the cold, he said.
The three courthouses used as warming centers, in Markham, Skokie and Maywood, were activated as warming centers around the clock for four days in December, when the National Weather Service expected wind chill temperatures to reach 20 degrees below zero.
These warming centers were activated again at 6 p.m. Saturday and will be open until 8 a.m. on Wednesday because of the predicted cold weather this week. They open if wind chill temperatures are forecast to fall into the negative range, said Audrey Jonas, the communications deputy director of the Cook County Asset Management Bureau.
Jonas said the centers usually open a few times every winter. She said that even at 5 to 8 degrees below zero, activation could occur based on assessment of conditions such as cold duration and exposure risk.
As temperatures dropped Dec. 12 through 15, the number of people sheltering in the courthouses increased from four people and a dog the first day, to seven people the next day and 11 people on the final day. Five people sheltered in the Markham courthouse Dec. 15.
Nolan said these centers are necessary and called them a “humanitarian thing.” He said he was surprised to learn families and women with children come to the centers to take shelter.
“It’s not only a warming center, it’s also a place where people can come and relax,” he said. “It gives a little comfort for the basic necessities of life that they can’t get out on the street, and we’re able to offer that in a small amount of time.”
He said people can clean themselves up in the bathrooms and charge their phones. He said it’s important for people to charge their electronics because they are a means of communication and news.
Jonas said the courthouse warming centers are important, even if serving one person, especially because staff notice repeat visitors who rely on the them. Last year, she said, a family with two parents and several children showed up to a courthouse warming center in need.

“In the ways that we are able to help our most vulnerable and most in need residents, we can and we will,” She said. “For us it’s a way to kind of think about our public buildings beyond just the day-to-day business hours and services.”
Jonas said the staff at the warming centers are dedicated to providing dignity and a welcoming experience and environment.
She said the snacks and water are provided by the Salvation Army, the blankets by the Cook County Bureau of Asset Management, pet kennels by animal care control and security by the Cook County sheriff’s office.
Jonas said centers are intended to be very straightforward and simple to use. She said signs are displayed to make sure the general public knows the courthouse is a warming center that day.

When people show up to use the center, she said they can expect to walk through security then head to the cafeteria where resources are provided. She said 24-hour security is present.
Jonas said courthouses make great warming centers because they are large public buildings located near public transportation.
She said county officials chose the three locations because together they cover a wide area.
“We want to make sure that they’re kind of evenly dispersed throughout,” she said.
Jonas said that Cook County courthouses have long been used as warming centers, but an official countywide process for the initiative was established in 2017.
This process included a more consistent calculation for wind chill temperature standards and a network of courthouses that followed an activation procedure, she said.
The courthouses also open as cooling centers in warmer months.
Jonas said that The Cook County Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security monitors heat-index values and typically activate the centers when heat indices approach 100 degrees or when prolonged high heat is expected.

A Big Bet On Apprenticeships In A Frozen Labor Market
A Big Bet On Apprenticeships In A Frozen Labor Market
Authored by Zach Boren via RealClearEducation,
For the better part of a year, the Trump Administration said little about apprenticeships. Then, almost out of nowhere, it announced a $145 million funding forecast aimed at expanding Pay for Apprenticeship—one of the largest investments we’ve seen in years.
That move matters because it follows a long gap between rhetoric and reality. Early on, the President issued an Executive Order calling for one million apprentices and indicating apprenticeship as a central workforce strategy. But that ambition amounted to little more than lip service, as Biden-era apprenticeship contracts were either canceled or stagnated.
For decades, the federal government has underinvested in apprenticeships, relying instead on small, bespoke grant programs that helped grow apprenticeships by nearly 80 percent over a decade, but never at scale. That’s real progress, but apprentices still make up just three-tenths of one percent of the labor force.
The Pay for Apprenticeship forecast is the first meaningful signal that the administration’s promises could be fulfilled—and perhaps finally move apprenticeships from the education margins to the mainstream.
Pay for Apprenticeship — also known as Pay for Success — ties public dollars to real results: apprentices hired, trained, and retained. In a frozen labor market, this policy focuses on what works, not what makes headlines. That makes it a welcome—and somewhat surprising—dose of pragmatism in a policy landscape often driven by ideology.
What’s actually different this time
Unlike traditional workforce grants that fund training without accountability for outcomes, Pay for Apprenticeship funds employment outcomes. Grantees are rewarded for hires and apprenticeship contracts signed—not paperwork, pilots, or press releases.
The forecast also acknowledges a basic truth long ignored in Washington: employers rarely build apprenticeship programs on their own. They rely on intermediaries—industry associations, unions, nonprofits, and technical experts—to design training, manage registration, recruit apprentices, and maintain standards. Without this infrastructure, apprenticeship policies remain aspirational rather than operational.
This funding approach mirrors what our international competitors already do. The UK, Germany, and Australia invest heavily in apprenticeship systems that share training costs and pay for results. Overseas, apprenticeships aren’t an alternative — they’re a competitive advantage and valued on par with the university track.
Why apprenticeships meet this moment
The U.S. faces acute labor shortages across critical sectors. We are short nearly one million electricians. AI and tech companies and their data centers and energy infrastructure projects are driving unprecedented demand for skilled workers.
Bachelor’s degrees, for the first time, are losing their earnings premium, even as the first rung of the career ladder disappears.
Registered Apprenticeships combine paid, on-the-job training with structured instruction, allowing workers to earn while they learn—and employers to train talent to real-time needs. Unlike college students taking on debt, apprentices are paid by their sweat, and the average graduate earns about $80,000 annually –exceeding entry-level bachelor’s degree wages. Employers see returns as well—apprenticeships deliver a positive ROI, with high retention and strong employer satisfaction.
For young men, these pathways matter even more. Today, there are three times as many men who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET) as there were in the 1980s. That is not a cyclical downturn. It is a slow-rolling structural failure. For boys underserved by the traditional classroom, apprenticeships offer a practical path forward. In fact, roughly 85 percent of American apprentices are men.
A step forward, not the finish line
This investment alone will not solve the nation’s workforce challenges—but it is a solid step in the right direction.
To meet the moment, Congress must go further, faster. A large-scale, national Pay for Apprenticeship initiative—designed to reach millions of young people over the next decade—is within reach. And, it does not require new debt. Apprentices pay taxes, and their availability reduces reliance on public assistance. They begin paying into the system almost immediately.
For too long, American society and federal policy have defaulted to a college-for-all approach, even as evidence mounted that the system was badly out of balance. When more than 90 percent of Congress has a bachelor’s degree, it should not surprise anyone that policy has repeatedly doubled down on college as the only answer. Washington’s groupthink has crowded out other proven educational paths to the middle class.
It’s time for a reset.
The $145 million Pay for Apprenticeship forecast is a good bet—but it’s not a silver bullet. If Congress builds on it, rather than treating it as a one-off, apprenticeships could finally become what they should have been all along: a central pillar of a working-class–building strategy.
And it doesn’t require more debt to get there—just pragmatic investments in our future, rather than borrowing against it. Few other workforce policies can claim this consistent result across workers, employers, and taxpayers. The evidence is clear: apprenticeships work.

Blast of winter weather hits Midwest and East Coast and could bring snow to Florida
HOUSTON — A blast of winter weather brought snowfall and subfreezing wind chills across the Midwest and East Coast on Saturday as well as near-freezing temperatures in parts of the South, including normally balmy Florida.
In northeastern Ohio, sudden bursts of heavy snow and gusty winds created whiteout conditions, according to the National Weather Service. Snow squall conditions moved into the Cleveland metro area and were expected to continue east into Pennsylvania and parts of eastern New York.
“Expect visibilities of less than a quarter of a mile and rapid snow accumulation on roadways. Travel will be difficult and possibly dangerous in the heavy snow,” the National Weather Service warned.
Below-average temperatures in the Central and Eastern U.S. were predicted for the weekend and into early next week.
“The next few nights are forecast to be very cold for much of the Central and Eastern United States,” the Weather Prediction Center, part of the National Weather Service, said. “Sub-zero wind chills are forecast from the Plains to the Midwest and Northeast, with the coldest wind chills expected in the Upper Midwest on Sunday night.”
“Impactful snowfall” was forecast to begin late Saturday up and down the East Coast, from the western Florida Panhandle to Maine, according to the prediction center. Snow was expected to blanket Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island by Sunday night, with some areas getting up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) of snow.
Meanwhile Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida were expected to have near-freezing temperatures at least through the weekend.
In Tallahassee, Florida, there could be some snowfall Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service. But it should not last long.
“So here in Tallahassee, the likelihood of any snow accumulation is not zero, but it’s very low. I mean the ground will be just too warm for anything to stick and accumulate,” said Kristian Oliver, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s office in Tallahassee.
It would be the second time in as many years that the state has seen snow: In January 2025 up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) fell in parts of the Panhandle, part of a record-breaking snowstorm that impacted the Deep South including other normally snow-free places like Houston and New Orleans.
“On average we have an event like this maybe every few years. But having two back to back I’d say is pretty anomalous for the area,” Oliver said.
Up to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) was forecast for central Georgia south of Atlanta, with the heaviest snowfall expected between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m.
“Plan on slippery roads during the snow, as well as on Sunday night into Monday morning as remaining water/snow refreezes,” the National Weather Service’s Atlanta office said.

Denver Broncos advance to AFC title game, beating Buffalo Bills 33-30 after Ja’Quan McMillian’s INT in OT
DENVER — Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted Josh Allen’s deep throw in overtime, and Bo Nix led the Denver Broncos into position for Wil Lutz’s 24-yard field goal that sent them to the AFC championship game with a 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
McMillian’s pick was the Broncos’ fifth takeaway of the game. He wrested the ball away from Brandin Cooks at the Broncos 20-yard line when a field goal would have won the game for the Bills.
The Broncos (15-3) will face either the New England Patriots or Houston Texans for the AFC title Jan. 25 at Empower Field at Mile High, where Denver has won 14 of its last 15 games.
The Bills (13-6) were flagged for pass interference twice on the Broncos’ final drive.
Former Broncos kicker Matt Prater nailed a 50-yard field goal with 5 seconds left in regulation, knotting it up at 30. That came after Nix’s 26-yard touchdown throw to Marvin Mims Jr. with 55 seconds left had given the Broncos a 30-27 lead.
Allen, who hadn’t turned the ball over in his previous six playoff appearances, threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles on strip-sacks by Nik Bonitto. P.J. Locke also picked off Allen, ending the QB’s streak of 204 consecutive completions in the postseason.

Chivas supera 2-1 a Querétaro para mantener su paso perfecto en la Liga MX
GUADALAJARA, México (AP) — Armando González y Roberto Alvarado resolvieron magistralmente dentro del área para marcar los goles con los que Chivas venció el sábado 2-1 a Querétaro y extendió su paso perfecto en el torneo Clausura de la Liga MX.
El joven ariete González, de 22 años, celebró su segunda diana del curso a los 35 minutos, cuando remató de cabeza dentro del área chica un centro de Daniel Aguirre.
Alvarado amplió la ventaja a los 61 con un remate de primera intención adentro del área, a pase de Richard Ledezma.
Mateo Coronel descontó por los visitantes a los 81, después de que el arquero Raúl Rangel no pudo contener un remate, que dejó suelto en el área para que el delantero argentino de Gallos lo mandara al fondo de la portería.
Chivas tiene pleno de triunfos en este comienzo del campeonato, en el que suma triunfos en sus primeros tres partidos, algo que no conseguía desde el torneo Apertura 2023. En consecuencia, se ubica en la cima de la clasificación.
Querétaro ha hilvanado descalabros y marcha en la 16ta posición con una unidad.
González, quien fue sustituido a los 77 minutos, se ha convertido en el referente en la ofensiva del equipo que dirige el argentino Gabriel Milito.
La “Hormiga” González, campeón goleador del curso pasado con 12 tantos junto a Paulinho (Toluca) y Joao Pedro (San Luis), ya cuenta con 19 dianas en 49 partidos con el Guadalajara.
En otro resultado, el Atlas venció 1-0 a Necaxa con una diana de Alfonso González a los 43 minutos.
Atlas se ubica provisionalmente en la 4ta posición con seis unidades; los Rayos marchan en el 13er sitio con tres.
Ambos equipos terminaron con 10 jugadores después de las expulsiones de Paulo Ramírez (Atlas) y Julián Carranza (Necaxa).

Coach Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers agree to a multiyear contract extension
Matt LaFleur has agreed to terms on a contract extension to remain the Green Bay Packers coach, a week after their season ended with a wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. ESPN and NFL Network first reported the multiyear agreement.
LaFleur had one year remaining on his contract. New Packers President and CEO Ed Policy had said last summer that he would prefer not to have a lame-duck coach, saying it “creates a lot of issues.”
The Packers have missed the playoffs only once under LaFleur, who has a regular-season record of 76-40-1 (.654). The only active coaches with better winning percentages over a minimum of 50 games are the Philadelphia Eagles’ Nick Sirianni (.694), Los Angeles Chargers’ Jim Harbaugh (.679) and Buffalo Bills’ Sean McDermott (.662).
But LaFleur hasn’t been able to get the Packers to a Super Bowl. They won their last title in the 2010 season and haven’t played in the Super Bowl since.
LaFleur’s future was in doubt after Packers’ wild-card loss to the Bears, in which they led 21-3 at halftime and 21-6 through three quarters. They went 9-8-1 and finished with five straight losses, although LaFleur rested his starters in the meaningless regular-season finale.
LaFleur is 3-6 in the playoffs, including five losses in his last six games. The Packers lost back-to-back NFC championship games in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. They owned the NFC’s No. 1 seed in 2020 and 2021 but lost at home both years.
While cleaning out their lockers Monday, several Packers players said they hoped LaFleur would return.
All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons said LaFleur was among the reasons he had expressed interest in the Packers before they acquired him from the Dallas Cowboys in August. Parsons said he mentioned that to LaFleur after hearing that the coach’s job might be in jeopardy.
“He’s a great guy and I just think he cares so much, like he cares so much about the players,” Parsons said. “I don’t think people realize that. And you can get spoiled with a good coach and good people, and you don’t realize until they’re gone and I don’t want to be at that point where we realize like, ‘Damn, we let such a great coach go.’”
LaFleur led the Packers to NFC North titles in each of his first three seasons with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, and he kept them competitive after Rodgers was traded in 2023. The Packers have made the playoffs in each of their first three seasons with Jordan Love as the starter.
But those three appearances all came as the NFC’s No. 7 seed. The Packers limped into the postseason in 2024, too, finishing with three straight losses.
The Packers were 9-3-1 and leading the NFC North this season when Parsons suffered a torn ACL on Dec. 14. They didn’t win another game.
Star tight end Tucker Kraft, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt and center Elgton Jenkins also had season-ending injuries. The Packers entered the playoffs with 15 players on injured reserve.
Had he lost his job, LaFleur would have become an attractive head coaching candidate because of his reputation for getting the best from his quarterbacks.
Rodgers won his third and fourth MVP awards while playing for LaFleur, and the Packers made a relatively seamless transition to Love. Malik Willis, acquired from Tennessee for a seventh-round pick, had six touchdown passes, three touchdown runs and no interceptions in two years as Love’s backup.
LaFleur’s preference was to stay in Green Bay.
“I love our players, the locker room, everybody in our organization,” LaFleur said Sunday. “I mean, this is a unique place. The community has been outstanding, just I mean, I grew up in the Midwest, and it’s got the same type of vibe that I grew up in Mount Pleasant, Mich. …
“Unless you’re I think from here, you don’t understand how friendly everybody is. No matter who you are, you’re walking down the street and people say hello to one another. And I’ve lived other places, so I think this is a unique place, and it’s a special place. My kids love it here. My family loves it here.”

Iran’s Khamenei Says US, Israel Linked To Deadly Protest Violence: ‘Thousands Killed’
Iran’s Khamenei Says US, Israel Linked To Deadly Protest Violence: ‘Thousands Killed’
Iran’s streets have at this point been relatively calm for the last several days, after two weeks of large-scale protests rocked the country amid an ongoing economic crisis and Washington threatened to intervene by hitting government sites.
When protests and unrest turned to riots and clashes with police, which in some locations resulted in deaths on both sides, Tehran authorities moved to impose a complete internet and messaging blackout – believing this would thwart or slow any foreign plotting seeking to exploit the protests.
After eight days of no internet access, Iran has begun easing these restrictions Saturday, restoring short messaging service (SMS) nationwide. State media describes there will be a phased plan for bringing back internet and messaging services.
Al Jazeera cites state authorities who say terror cells and a foreign conspiracy had been disrupted, but now the situation is stable:
Quoting officials, the agency reported that the decision followed what it described as the stabilisation of the security situation and the detention of key figures linked to “terror organizations” behind the violence during protests over rising prices and economic hardship that erupted on December 28 in several Iranian cities.
Authorities said the internet blackout had “significantly weakened the internal connections of opposition networks abroad” and disrupted the activities of the “terror cells”.
On this, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also weighed in, claiming that actors linked to the United States and Israel were responsible for killing “several thousands” during the anti-government protests.
“Those linked to Israel and US caused massive damages and killed several thousands” he said Saturday. The US and Western allies have repeatedly rejected these Iranian claims of ‘foreign plotting’. And more via Bloomberg:
Some of those were killed “brutally and inhumanely,” Khamenei said without offering detail in a public meeting broadcast on state TV.
This marks the first time any top Iranian authority described the casualties as being in the “thousands”. Some US-based ‘monitor’ groups as well as American media earlier in the week raised eyebrows and skepticism in claiming 12,000 were killed – a huge figure.
As for the possibility of foreign plotting, the Financial Times appears to be the first mainstream outlet to describe black-clad and well-organized groups who unleashed chaos and anti-police violence amid the protests…
“There were groups of men in black clothes, agile and quick. They would set one dustbin on fire and then quickly move to the next target” They “look[ed] like commandos” …“They were definitely organized, but I don’t know who was behind them”
FT offers one of the first acknowledgments by Western media of well organized cells wreaking havoc on Iranian cities
“There were groups of men in black clothes, agile and quick. They would set one dustbin on fire and then quickly move to the next target”
They “look[ed] like… pic.twitter.com/Fwq2ab8ZHI
— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) January 17, 2026
Iran has said that hundreds of police and security personnel were killed or wounded, and has cited videos showing armed supposed ‘protesters’ seeking to wage an insurgency against government positions. It should come as no surprise that Israeli or Western intelligence should seek to hijack and steer the protests toward some kind of regime destabilization goal. But this scenario is always hard to prove amid the fog of war and thick propaganda coming from all sides.
