Patrick Mahomes sufre rotura de ligamento cruzado y los Chiefs dicen que evalúa opciones quirúrgicas
Por DAVE SKRETTA
KANSAS CITY, Missouri, EE.UU. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes se rompió el ligamento cruzado anterior en su rodilla izquierda mientras intentaba mantener vivas las esperanzas de postemporada de los Chiefs de Kansas City en los últimos segundos de una derrota por 16-13 ante los Chargers de Los Ángeles el domingo, y el equipo dijo que el quarterback estrella estaba considerando opciones quirúrgicas.
Es la lesión más significativa de una carrera superlativa de nueve años para Mahomes, un dos veces Jugador Más Valioso de la NFL que ha llevado a los Chiefs a tres títulos de Super Bowl y ha llegado al juego de campeonato de la AFC en cada una de sus siete temporadas anteriores como titular de Kansas City.
Este año, los Chiefs ni siquiera llegarán a los playoffs, y Mahomes no volverá al campo hasta algún momento en 2026.
Los Chiefs acababan de cruzar el medio campo con menos de dos minutos por jugar cuando Mahomes se dirigió hacia la línea lateral de Kansas City, luego intentó deshacerse del balón. Fue derribado luego de lanzar un pase por el liniero defensivo de los Chargers, Da’Shawn Hand, y de inmediato se agarró la rodilla izquierda mientras los entrenadores se acercaban a él.
Mahomes finalmente fue ayudado a la carpa azul de lesiones en la línea lateral, pero solo permaneció allí unos momentos. Pronto salió con miembros del personal a cada lado de él, cojeando hacia el vestuario con una toalla blanca sobre la cabeza.
“Se hará una resonancia magnética mañana o esta noche”, dijo el entrenador Andy Reid.
Minutos más tarde, el equipo publicó que el estudio confirmó la lesión de Mahomes de desgarro del ligamento.
Gardner Minshew entró al juego y completó tres pases consecutivos para darle una oportunidad a los Chiefs. Pero fue interceptado por Derwin James en un balón disputado destinado a Travis Kelce con 14 segundos restantes, sellando la barrida de la temporada de los Chargers sobre Kansas City.
“Odio la situación. Odio no haber podido lograr la victoria y mantener vivas nuestras esperanzas”, expresó Minshew.
La derrota, junto con las victorias de Jacksonville, Buffalo y Houston, eliminó a los campeones defensores de la AFC de la contienda por los playoffs.
“Es muy frustrante, hombre. Ha sido difícil de ver para Pat, un tipo que pone tanto en esto”, comentó Minshew. “Nunca he visto a alguien dar tanto de sí mismo al equipo. Tengo confianza en él y en su capacidad para regresar mejor que nunca”.
Seahawks vencen 18-16 a Colts con gol de campo de 56 yardas de Jason Myers
Por ANDREW DESTIN
SEATTLE (AP) — Jason Myers pateó seis goles de campo, un récord para la franquicia, incluyendo uno de 56 yardas con 29 segundos restantes, y los Seahawks de Seattle superaron el domingo 18-16 al quarterback de 44 años Philip Rivers y a los Colts de Indianapolis.
Rivers lanzó un pase de touchdown después de salir de su retiro para hacer su primera titularidad en casi cinco años, y llevó a los Colts a la posición para el gol de campo de 60 yardas de Blake Grupe con 47 segundos restantes.
Eso fue suficiente tiempo para Sam Darnold y los Seahawks (11-3). Rashid Shaheed devolvió el saque de Grupe 28 yardas hasta la yarda 37 de Seattle, y Darnold se conectó con Shaheed dos veces para 25 yardas para preparar a Myers.
Desesperados por salvar su temporada después de que Daniel Jones sufriera una rotura del tendón de Aquiles que puso fin a su temporada, los Colts (8-6) recurrieron a Rivers, que terminó 18 de 27 para 120 yardas con un touchdown y una intercepción.
Indy ha perdido cuatro seguidos y cinco de seis, cayendo fuera de la posición de playoffs en la AFC. Seattle se mantuvo al ritmo de los Los Angeles Rams en la cima de la NFC Oeste.

Brasileños protestan contra proyecto de ley que reduciría tiempo en prisión de Bolsonaro
Por ELÉONORE HUGHES
RÍO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Decenas de miles de brasileños se manifestaron el domingo contra un proyecto de ley que el Congreso avanzó esta semana, el cual reduciría el tiempo que el expresidente Jair Bolsonaro pasaría tras las rejas después de ser sentenciado a más de 27 años de cárcel por intentar un golpe de Estado.
Las protestas tuvieron lugar en la capital, Brasilia, y en otras importantes ciudades del país, como Sao Paulo, Florianópolis, Salvador y Recife.
En el malecón de Copacabana, en Río de Janeiro, multitudes de votantes de izquierda gritaban consignas de “No a la amnistía” y “Fuera Hugo Motta”, en referencia al presidente de la cámara baja que aprobó el la iniciativa el miércoles. Ahora está en manos del Senado.
“Es un intento por proteger a quienes intentaron dar un golpe”, declaró Antonio Edson Lima de Oliveira, un geólogo de 56 años que participó en la protesta en Río. “Brasil ya ha tenido varias dictaduras y fueron terribles para el país. No queremos que eso vuelva a pasar nunca.”
Reconocidos músicos, como Caetano Veloso y Gilberto Gil, se presentaron en Río bajo un sol abrasador y en medio de un ambiente festivo y de indignación. Muchos sostuvieron pancartas con leyendas como “El Congreso es el enemigo del pueblo”.
“Es muy importante que estén aquí, animando a la gente a salir a las calles. Pero creo que no debemos venir sólo a cantar, tenemos que venir a luchar de verdad”, subrayó Lavinia Scalia, una organizadora de movimientos estudiantiles de 18 años de edad.
Disturbios del 8 de enero
Paulinho da Força, promotor del proyecto de ley que se aprobó el miércoles, ha dicho que tiene como objetivo la reconciliación y que, en caso de ser implementado, podría reducir el tiempo de Bolsonaro en prisión a dos años y cuatro meses. Pero la medida requiere de la aprobación del presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, quien ha dicho en ocasiones anteriores que vetaría la propuesta.
La iniciativa reduciría las penas en prisión de Bolsonaro y el resto de los condenados en relación con los disturbios del 8 de enero de 2023, cuando los partidarios del exmandatario invadieron edificios gubernamentales en Brasilia.
Los jueces aseguraron que el derechista dirigía una organización criminal responsable de la insurrección, que, según ellos, tenía como objetivo derrocar a Lula, quien había asumido el cargo una semana antes, luego de derrotar a Bolsonaro en las elecciones de octubre de 2022.
La propuesta reduciría el tiempo de prisión de Bolsonaro al requerir que las sentencias por dos de sus condenas se cumplan simultáneamente, en lugar de consecutivamente, a saber, los delitos de intento de golpe de Estado y derrocamiento violento del estado de derecho.
Estados Unidos levanta sanciones
El proyecto de ley también cambiaría las condiciones para la libertad condicional total y parcial, permitiendo a un recluso pasar del confinamiento total a la libertad condicional diurna después de cumplir una sexta parte de su sentencia, en lugar de una cuarta parte.
Bolsonaro y sus aliados habían abogado por una amnistía, pero la propuesta aprobada el miércoles gira en torno a la reducción de sentencias en lugar de una anulación de las condenas.
El Senado probablemente modifique esta versión diluida de la iniciativa después de las protestas del domingo, dijo Luciana Santana, profesora de ciencias políticas en la Universidad Federal de Alagoas.
“La composición del Senado, las movilizaciones y el hecho de que la votación en la cámara baja se llevó a cabo en las primeras horas de la mañana significan que el ambiente a favor del proyecto de ley no es tan favorable como lo fue en la cámara baja”, señaló.
La atención internacional a los problemas legales de Bolsonaro aumentó después de que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, impuso en julio un arancel del 50% sobre los productos brasileños, mencionando entre otras razones, el juicio contra Bolsonaro, al que calificó de una cacería de brujas.
Eso condujo al peor momento en las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y Brasil en sus 200 años de historia. Las relaciones han mejorado desde entonces, y Lula y Trump sostuvieron un encuentro en octubre pasado en Malasia.
Estados Unidos ha eliminado los aranceles sobre muchos productos, incluidos el café y la carne de res y, el viernes retiró al juez del Supremo Tribunal Federal Alexandre de Moraes de su lista de sanciones. Inicialmente había sido incluido por su papel en el juicio contra Bolsonaro.

Tres pases de anotación de Purdy lideran a los 49ers en victoria 37-24 sobre los Titans
Por JOSH DUBOW
SANTA CLARA, California, EE.UU. (AP) — Brock Purdy lanzó tres pases de touchdown y los 49ers de San Francisco comenzaron la recta final de su temporada con una victoria de 37-24 sobre los Titans de Tennessee el domingo.
Los 49ers (10-4) regresaron de una semana de descanso y mostraron un ataque extremadamente afilado contra los Titans (2-12), que no estuvieron a la altura, al anotar en sus primeras cinco posesiones de un juego por primera vez desde la temporada 2021.
Purdy lanzó dos pases de anotación a Jauan Jennings, otro a George Kittle y los Niners consiguieron una acarreo de TD de Christian McCaffrey mientras San Francisco convirtió sus primeros siete intentos en tercera oportunidad.
Purdy completó 23 de 30 para 295 yardas y los Niners ganaron a pesar de obtener solo 87 yardas desde la línea de golpeo de McCaffrey.
El novato Cam Ward lanzó un pase de anotación a Gunnar Helm en el segundo cuarto y otro en el cuarto período al liniero defensivo Jeffery Simmons. Ward terminó con 170 yardas por pase ya que los Titans no pudieron aprovechar el impulso de una victoria sobre Cleveland la semana pasada y permanecieron en un empate a tres bandas por el peor récord en la NFL. Tennessee no ha ganado juegos consecutivos desde noviembre de 2022.
Los Titans desperdiciaron una buena oportunidad al final de la primera mitad cuando Ward falló un pase profundo a un Van Jefferson completamente abierto y luego Joey Slye falló un gol de campo de 50 yardas en la última jugada de la mitad para mantener la ventaja de San Francisco en 17-10.
Los Niners ampliaron la ventaja a 14 puntos cuando Purdy se conectó con Jennings por segunda vez en la posesión inicial. Tennessee tuvo tres y fuera en sus dos primeras series de la mitad y nunca tuvo una oportunidad de remontar.

ICE Announces Arrest Of 400 Illegal Immigrants In Minnesota
ICE Announces Arrest Of 400 Illegal Immigrants In Minnesota
Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
More than 400 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Minnesota by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of Operation Metro Surge, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement on Dec. 12.
Operation Metro Surge targets the “worst of the worst” illegal immigrants who had flocked to Minnesota, assuming the state’s “sanctuary” politicians would protect them, DHS said.
Sanctuary jurisdictions are places in the country where local or state officials refuse to enforce federal immigration laws or cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Minnesota is one of such states, according to an Aug. 5 statement from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Among the arrested were a Burmese national convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct using force or coercion, a Somali convicted of robbery, a Laotian convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child under 13, and an Ecuadorian national who was previously arrested for assaulting a police officer, DHS said.
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who have been vocal against ICE operations, of “fail[ing] to protect the people of Minnesota.”
“They let these monsters and child predators roam free,” McLaughlin said. “Thanks to our brave law enforcement, Minnesota is safer with these thugs off their streets.”
The Epoch Times reached out to Walz and Frey for comments and did not receive a response by publication time.
The arrests come as immigration enforcement officers continue to face a surge in attacks nationwide.
On Dec. 12, DHS said an ICE officer was attacked by a criminal illegal immigrant in Tullos, Louisiana, who “savagely bit the officer’s hand while resisting arrest.”
The bite broke through the skin and drew blood, the agency said, while calling on politicians in sanctuary jurisdictions and media to stop calling for resistance against ICE enforcement.
“DHS law enforcement is facing a 1,150 percent increase in assaults against them and an 8,000 percent increase in death threats. This is the reality of what our ICE officers are facing every day as they go to work to simply do their job and enforce the law,” McLaughlin said.
“Many of these assaults, including biting and vehicle rammings, are happening as a direct result of sanctuary politicians encouraging illegal aliens to evade arrest.”
There has been pushback from officials in Minneapolis and Minnesota over the federal government’s enforcement operations.
In Minneapolis, the City Council unanimously approved a stronger version of its “sanctuary city” ordinance on Dec. 11 amid the federal government’s illegal immigration crackdown.
Updates to the “separation ordinance,” which bans local police from assisting federal immigration-enforcement efforts and has been in effect for 22 years, were passed by the council, 13-0. There are no Republicans on the council.
During the meeting, Councilmember Jason Chavez, whose parents came from Mexico, said, “Our undocumented immigrants as a whole are being arrested, detained, deported, and not being able to come home.”
Chavez vowed to “continue to resist this Trump administration.”
Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Walz wrote a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Dec. 11, saying he has serious concerns about ICE operations allegedly resulting in “multiple arrests of United States citizens” in Minneapolis.
“The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by your agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota,” he wrote.
DHS criticized the letter in a Dec. 12 X post, highlighting that there is a “growing and disturbing trend” of agitators and rioters obstructing law enforcement during the arrest of illegal immigrants.
The department highlighted the surge in attacks against officers and warned that obstructing law enforcement is not a protest but a crime.
“Secretary Noem has been clear: if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” DHS said.
“Instead of trying to spread misinformation, @GovTimWalz should focus on protecting American lives and thanking the brave men and women of DHS law enforcement who are risking their lives to make communities in his state safer.”

DJ Moore comes alive for Chicago Bears with 2 TDs — including 1 on an ‘unbelievable’ Caleb Williams throw
Cole Kmet should have been the first read on the play, but he was knocked down by a defensive end before could leak out into open space. Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams faked a handoff and rolled out to his right. Seeing Kmet go down, Williams turned his eyes upfield.
Kmet, still getting up off the frozen ground, watched Williams launch a ball toward the back of the end zone, where several Cleveland Browns defenders appeared to be in position to make an interception.
“Isn’t that like an ill-advised throw?” Kmet later said.
Not for Williams.

Somehow the ball made its way past the outstretched arms of two defenders and landed in the hands of Bears wide receiver DJ Moore. The touchdown, Moore’s second of the game, extended a two-possession lead to three and pretty much ended any hope of a Cleveland comeback — if any such hope ever existed.
The Bears cruised to a 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday at Soldier Field. Williams threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns, both to Moore. Running back D’Andre Swift scored twice and piled up 98 rushing yards.
The third-quarter touchdown to Moore was a jaw-dropping moment.
“He’s been pinpoint with his accuracy on those things,” Moore said of the throw. “So it was just, I’ve got to come down with it.”
Did Williams think that throw would qualify as ill-advised?
“No, I can make every throw,” he said.
The confidence is supreme for Williams, who has thrown for 3,150 yards and 21 touchdowns this season with six interceptions. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, the second touchdown to Moore had just a 16.1% chance of completion.
“That was unbelievable,” Kmet said. “It just shows off why he was the No. 1 overall pick. Just a special play that I don’t know how many guys in the league can make that throw.”
The Bears improved to 10-4 on the season, their first 10-win season since 2018. Coach Ben Johnson began the week by stating the Bears “desperately” needed this win. The standings suggest it will take at least 11 wins to make the playoffs in the NFC, and the lowly Browns were the last losing team remaining on the schedule.
With three games remaining, nothing is guaranteed for the Bears. But they couldn’t afford to lose this game.
The Browns (3-11) are one of the worst teams in the NFL and looked like it. Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw three interceptions, and the Bears offense turned all three takeaways into points.

“When you get interceptions or you get the turnovers, the fumbles, whatever the case may be, you want to go down and score,” Williams said. “It creates a sense of momentum for us and it gets everybody in it, gets everybody going.”
The Bears punted on their first possession, but after that the offense had no trouble getting going.
Swift scored on a 6-yard run and Williams connected with Moore for a 3-yard score to put the Bears ahead 14-0 in the first quarter. During a season in which the Bears frequently have had to eke out wins in the final minutes, this was a much-needed change of pace.
Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett recorded 1½ sacks, pulling him within one from tying the single-season record, but it wasn’t enough to alter the outcome. His presence felt like more of a footnote than anything.
The Bears played without wide receiver Rome Odunze, who aggravated his foot injury during pregame warmups. They were down to four available receivers before Luther Burden III exited midway through the game with an ankle injury, leaving them with only three receivers down the stretch. Burden led the team with six catches for 84 yards.
Despite those injuries, the offense didn’t blink.
“I just know that at any point I could be anywhere and I know the playbook like the back of my hand,” Moore said.

Moore’s big game — he finished with four catches for 69 yards and the two touchdowns — came a week after he totaled one catch for minus-4 yards in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. That was the worst game of Moore’s career in terms of receiving yards, and it was the third time this season he caught one or zero passes in a game.
Before this season, that hadn’t happened since he played for the Carolina Panthers. Johnson knew he needed his highest-paid wide receiver to step up, and he did.
“He’s been playing this way every week,” Johnson said. “It’s just we haven’t been able to get the ball in his hands. We were able to target him a few more times, and he came through with some big plays for us.
“Sometimes these things come in bunches. You kind of have a dry spell, and then all of a sudden he could come on hot here over the next three games and just really take off.”
Although Moore has had some quiet spells this season, the Bears will need him down the stretch, even when Odunze returns. Their final three games come against teams in the playoff hunt, starting with the Packers on Saturday night at Soldier Field. Then they finish with a trip to San Francisco and a home matchup with the Detroit Lions.
The Bears exerted their will on the Browns. It might not be so easy down the stretch, but the Bears did what they needed to do to get to 10 wins.
“Can’t get to 11 without getting to 10,” tight end Colston Loveland said.

Chicago Bears defense: 3 INTs and 5 sacks ‘carried the day’ in a 31-3 demolition of the Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy jumped up to cradle what looked like a surefire touchdown reception.
But in a flash, Chicago Bears Jaylon Johnson, his back turned to the ball, somehow emerged with it for a no-look interception.
“Houdini” is usually a label assigned to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, but Johnson’s sneaky theft momentarily fooled even his own teammates.
“I didn’t even know where the ball was at,” linebacker D’Marco Jackson said. “I was getting ready to go in on special teams. So I looked back and I’m like, ‘He caught it?’”
If you can figure out how Johnson did it, tell him. Even he wasn’t quite sure.
“It’s really just playing the ball through his eyes and not really panicking at all, just understanding where the ball was going to come and then it happened to fall right into my hands,” he said.

But he couldn’t say whether the ball bounced off Jeudy or he ripped it away, it was all so fluid.
“All those details happened a little quick,” Johnson said. “I mean, I was in position, seeing the ball, played through his eyes, and then the ball was in my hands.”
The Bears defense didn’t have to dig into a bag of tricks — they just dominated the Browns in a 31-3 romp Sunday at Soldier Field.
• Three interceptions, all in the second half, which the offense converted into two touchdowns and a field goal.
• Five sacks, including a career-high two by defensive end Austin Booker, for the most by the Bears since Week 5 in 2023.
• Just 192 yards of total offense allowed.
• One first down (1 for 6 on third down) and 57 yards of total offense allowed in the first half.

“I can’t say enough good things here about our defense,” Bears coach Ben Johnson said. “I thought this was really an outstanding performance. I know we gave up a couple explosives that we’d like to have back, but outside of one or two plays, they really did a phenomenal job shutting down the run game, making it second-and-long, third-and-long, and getting off the field.
“When you combine that with the takeaways, once again, three takeaways there in the second half which were enormous for us, it really, I thought, carried the day for us.”
Lowlights were rare, one of which came on Isaiah Bond’s 47-yard reception against the Bears’ zero coverage
“Not too much you can do,” said Jaylon Johnson, who trailed Bond on the play. “Just a beater for that coverage.”
For the most part, the Bears defense took away the running game — holding power back Quinshon Judkins to 21 yards and a 1.8 yards per carry average — and turned the Browns one-dimensional.
When the running game couldn’t get going — the Browns had just two rushing first downs in the game — quarterback Shedeur Sanders couldn’t compensate in the passing game. He completed 18 of 35 for 177 yards and no touchdowns.
“We knew they had a good run game, run scheme,” Jackson said. “And then really just handling business in the air.”

It’s misleading to say drives got bogged down for the Browns. Most never got started.
Cleveland went three-and-out on five of the first six drives and punted on all six drives. They had a sixth three-and-out in their first possession of the fourth quarter.
As stingy as the Bears were against the run, once again their calling card was the takeaway.
With three picks Sunday, the Bears improved their league-leading tallies to 21 interceptions and 30 takeaways.
Jackson had the team’s first pick, in the third quarter, reading Sanders’ eyes.
“Just got caught in the run, and then on my way out, trying to get to my drop, I just peeked back, and it was a low ball,” he said. “So got my hands up on it.”
Jackson’s pick proved pivotal.
On the next play, Williams zipped a pass to DJ Moore for a 22-yard touchdown to give Chicago a 21-3 cushion with the extra point.
“I think that was a game-changer to me,” Ben Johnson said. “You’re always looking for a little bit to spark your team, ignite your team there, and in the second half that’s really what it was. … We really needed it because we were able to capitalize and make that into 21-3, and it felt like we took firm control of the game there at that point.
“He’s done such a great job coming in (after training camp) … and picking up the defense.”
Jackson’s interception, as well as a first-quarter sack, were career firsts. He received a game ball.
“Just a rewarding feeling,” he said. “Just how we prepare through the week and just to come out and execute as a whole defensive unit with everybody making plays. Like, it’s a great feeling.”

On the Browns’ next series, Jaylon Johnson followed up Jackson’s interception with his own momentum-turning pick in the end zone.
“They were talking before the snap, so I figured something was coming,” Johnson said. “Just trying to be in a good position to make a play. And that’s what I did.”
The offense drove 80 yards, with D’Andre Swift punching it in from 17 yards out.
Johnson’s first interception of the season came in his third start since returning from a groin injury that required core muscle surgery in late September.
“Still a long process,” he said about his recovery. “Just trying to keep getting in a groove, keep getting better, stronger.”
In the fourth quarter, C.J. Gardner-Johnson undercut Sanders’ pass deep right to tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and returned it 32 yards to the Cleveland 22-yard line.
The Bears lost a yard on the ensuing offensive series, but came away with a field goal, a 41-yarder by Cairo Santos to give the Bears a 31-3 lead.
For the season, the Bears have 97 points off takeaways, tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars for second place and trailing only the Pittsburgh Steelers (98). It’s the most takeaways by a Bears team through 14 games since 2018.
Bears defensive players said they hope to carry momentum into their rematch against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday at Soldier Field.
The Bears lost 28-21 in Week 14 at Lambeau Field.
“Really excited,” Johnson said. “It’s a very big opportunity for us — flexed (by the broadcast schedule to) this Saturday night. So we’ve got a lot to show and a lot to prove, and we got to go get our get-back.
Gardner-Johnson said that more than being excited about Sunday’s win, he’s “more so ready to get back to work. It’s a non-conference win, non-division win right here.
“It’s good to get 10 (wins) — first time in a long time. It’s in the past now, time to focus on Green Bay.”

Micah Parsons se lesiona la rodilla izquierda en una jugada sin contacto contra los Broncos
Por PAT GRAHAM
DENVER (AP) — Micah Parsons, el destacado linebacker especialista en presionar a los quarterbacks, de los Packers de Green Bay fue ayudado a salir del campo después de lesionarse la rodilla izquierda en una jugada sin contacto al final del tercer cuarto el domingo contra Denver.
Más tarde se determinó que no volvería al juego.
Parsons superó al tackle derecho Mike McGlinchey y estaba persiguiendo al mariscal de campo de los Broncos, Bo Nix, cuando de repente se detuvo y cayó al suelo. Se agarró la rodilla mientras los entrenadores y compañeros de equipo se acercaban para revisarlo. El esquinero de los Broncos, Pat Surtain II, entró al campo y le dio una palmada en las hombreras a Parsons antes de que se retirara al vestuario.
Fue la segunda lesión significativa para los Packers, que perdieron al receptor Christian Watson por una lesión en el pecho después de que Surtain cayera sobre él tras una intercepción en el tercer cuarto.
Parsons estaba teniendo un gran partido. Forzó un balón suelto temprano y fue acreditado de desviar un pase.
Parsons tiene 12,5 capturas esta temporada después de que los Packers lo adquirieran de Dallas en agosto a cambio de dos selecciones de primera ronda y el liniero defensivo tres veces Pro Bowl, Kenny Clark. Los Packers le dieron a Parsons un contrato de cuatro años por 188 millones de dólares con 136 millones garantizados, convirtiéndolo en el jugador, no quarterback, mejor pagado en la historia de la NFL.
Watson, de 26 años, se lesionó en el tercer cuarto cuando Surtain hizo una intercepción en zambullida y cayó sobre él. Watson se perdió el inicio de la temporada mientras se recuperaba de una rotura de ligamento cruzado anterior en el final de la temporada regular 2024 de Green Bay. Regresó el 26 de octubre en Pittsburgh.

Feedback from friends may not always be comfortable, but try to hear it out. Their opinions have the potential to sharpen your message in helpful ways.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
An outside perspective currently has the potential to cut through the muck. Your 9th House of Travel and Higher Learning takes the spotlight as adventurous Mars arrives there, rallying your courage to enroll in training that stretches your world.

Finding focus is presently possible. Ambitious Mars energizes your 6th House of Work and Wellness, helping you clean up any messy workflows and commit to productive routines. If you’re called upon to manage a coworker conflict, keep the focus on facts and next steps, since drama fades when you model calm and fairness. This doesn’t mean you have to embrace boredom, though. When you protect your energy, your creative spark is likely to return. Let work become a stage where steady effort shines!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Taking your creativity seriously can be rewarding now. As passionate Mars in your artistic 5th house invites playful risk, you might be ready to share a draft of a personal project with someone you trust. Although your own effort still matters, progress may come faster when you show the work and ask what connects. Honest feedback has the potential to sharpen your craft beautifully! That said, remember that you aren’t required to defer to nitpicking for the sake of being agreeable.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
When comfort unites with effort, home life shifts gently. While dynamic Mars kindles your 4th House of Home and Family, you might find that physically reorganizing a room helps traffic flow better and chores get done more easily. You may need to take a break from your favorite hobbies to focus on this, but a tidy base frees time for laughter later. If cohabitants push back, meet them with calm grace while holding the plan. Relationships improve when expectations are simple and promises are clear.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Clarity can arrive once you speak without hedging. Direct truth serves you now as aggressive Mars fires up your verbal 3rd house, favoring firm communication that sets respectful limits. You read between lines, so say what you see, but ask others to confirm. Facts prevent blame and end mixed messages. Tender history may be on your mind at this time, but you can honor feelings and still keep conversations clean. When you state your needs kindly, trust deepens, and tension eases naturally.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Careful money choices can pay off now. Your 2nd House of Money and Values gets a welcome nudge as ambitious Mars there favors a cleaner budget. In some cases, thoughtfully asking for a discount on a product or service might make sense. However, feeling overly sorry for yourself isn’t a good look. The freedom you crave is likely to grow when you’re realistic about what you want and what it should realistically cost. Once you’re grounded, you can reach for the stars!
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Capricorn, you set the tone with intention. A fresh engine roars within as warrior Mars fires up your sense of self, turning resolve into action on a goal you’ve put off for too long. You may update a resume to reflect a new vision for your path forward. Although the financial side of whatever you want to do will eventually need your attention, a bold start proves your desire is real. Begin now — momentum loves your steady, disciplined stride forward.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Releasing what drains your energy is currently crucial. Decisive Mars activates your 12th House of Solitude and Closure, urging you to clear clutter that keeps you stuck. Give yourself a buffer between tasks and people, because your inventive mind resets faster when you protect the pockets of quiet in your day. Although you may worry that you’re not progressing quickly enough, you’re making room for brilliant ideas yet to come. Clear space now so inspiration can return with fresh strength.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
When friends rally, your ideas travel further. Warrior Mars energizes your 11th House of Friendship and Social Networks today, motivating you to gather people around a heartfelt community event. Your empathy helps you include quieter voices, and a kind invitation can reconnect an old pal who drifted away. Although you may not be in the most bubbly mood, showing up with gentle purpose gives your dream a practical path. Invite support now, and shared effort should multiply good results beautifully.
