‘He was with me today’: Chicago Bears’ Nahshon Wright makes emotional interception after his coach’s death
MINNEAPOLIS — Nahshon Wright went up, all the way up, toward the heavens.
His arms outstretched, the pass from Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy landed perfectly in the Chicago Bears cornerback’s hands.
Wright, 27, felt a wave of emotion wash over him. He fell to one knee at the back of the end zone. Teammates Jaquan Brisker and Kevin Byard III were among the first to reach him. They each put a hand on Wright’s shoulder pads. They let him feel those emotions.

Wright’s junior college football coach, John Beam, who was featured in the Netflix documentary “Last Chance U,” died Friday after being shot a day earlier at Laney College in Oakland, Calif., where he worked.
“Today he was watching over me,” Wright said after the Bears’ 19-17 win over the Vikings. “That’s crazy. He called me the night before he passed and he told me every game he watched, I just seemed to get a pick. I just know he was behind me today. He was with me today.”
Wright and his brother Rejzohn Wright, a cornerback for the New Orleans Saints, played for Beam at Laney. Both later transferred to Oregon State before making their NFL dreams a reality.
Nahshon Wright said Beam “meant the world to me.” When their father, Jamal Wright, was shot and killed in December 2017 in San Jose, Calif., Beam stepped into a father role for the brothers.
“I’m going to take that ball back home and give it to his family because that one was for him,” Wright said.
Wright’s interception was one of two key picks for the Bears defense in the first half of Sunday’s win. Byard, the veteran safety, had the other, his fifth interception of the season.
The Bears nearly blew the game, watching a 16-3 lead slip away. Minnesota scored a touchdown in the final minute to go ahead by one point, but Devin Duvernay’s 56-yard kickoff return set up a game-winning field goal from kicker Cairo Santos as time expired.
On an emotional afternoon, with the lead seesawing in the final minutes, Wright believed Beam was there with him. Although it has been seven years since Wright played for Beam at Laney, he said they still spoke nearly every week.
When the Saints visited the Bears last month at Soldier Field — Nahshon versus Rejzohn — Beam came to Chicago. On the Saturday night before the game, the coach wanted to get his steps in, so Nahshon and Beam spent the night walking up and down the Magnificent Mile.
“We rarely talked about football,” Wright said. “We just talked about life and my plans and what I had going on.”

After the Bears wrapped up practice Thursday, Wright saw a text from a friend telling him Beam had been shot. The coach died the next day. Police arrested a 27-year-old suspect Friday.
Bears defensive backs coach Al Harris called Wright constantly to check in on him over the last couple of days. His teammates did their best to be supportive.
“He was battling this whole week,” Byard said.
“That’s not easy to come and play a game after you deal with things like that,” linebacker Tremaine Edmunds said.
The Bears made Wright their honorary team captain before Sunday’s game. Since entering the NFL as a third-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2021, Wright has been largely a backup. He had just three career starts before this season, but an injury to All-Pro cornerback Jaylon Johnson landed Wright in the starting lineup most of this season. He has appeared in all 10 games with nine starts.
Wright has three interceptions and two fumble recoveries on the year. In the season opener, also against the Vikings, he returned an interception for a touchdown.
“His numbers speak for themselves,” Edmunds said.
Wright has worked closely with Harris, who also coached him in Dallas. They shared a big hug after Wright’s interception Sunday.

“I’m super proud of him because where he started in the league — the movements, the mindset — to where he is right now is night and day,” Harris said last week. “He’s making the most of his opportunities.”
Cornerback is an unforgiving position. Corners are always in the crosshairs of the passing attack. Wright was in coverage in the final minute when McCarthy targeted wide receiver Jordan Addison in the end zone for what looked like it might be the game-winning touchdown.

But this Bears team has been through so much over the first half of the season. They keep finding ways to win close games in the final minutes. Even after watching the Vikings celebrate in the end zone, the defenders headed to the sideline with a belief their teammates on special teams and offense would find a way.
This team has earned that belief.
“It’s knowing that somebody is going to make a play,” Edmunds said.
Josh Blackwell’s blocked field goal in Las Vegas. Colston Loveland’s game-winning touchdown in Cincinnati. Caleb Williams’ rushing heroics last week against the New York Giants. Add Duvernay’s big return to the list.
Wright’s interception wasn’t in the final minute, but it erased what could’ve been a Vikings touchdown and was a key swing just before halftime.
“I told him earlier in the week he was going to get one,” cornerback Tyrique Stevenson said.
Wright knew Beam was with him when he extended his 6-foot-4 frame and snagged the football out of the air.
“He’s been there every step of the way,” Wright said. “And it won’t stop. I gained an angel.”

Purdy lanza tres TDs tras lesión en el pie y 49ers vencen 41-22 a Cardinals
Por DAVID BRANDT
GLENDALE, Arizona, EE.UU. (AP) — Brock Purdy lanzó tres pases de touchdown en su regreso tras una lesión en el dedo del pie, Christian McCaffrey anotó dos touchdowns por tierra y uno por recepción, y los 49ers de San Francisco vencieron el domingo 41-22 a unos desordenados Cardinals de Arizona.
McCaffrey amplió su récord en la NFL con su 17º partido en su carrera con al menos un touchdown por carrera y un touchdown de recepción. Purdy completó 19 de 26 pases para 200 yardas.
El ala cerrada George Kittle atrapó dos pases de touchdown.
Arizona perdió por sexta vez en siete partidos. Los Cardinals fueron sancionados con un récord de franquicia de 17 penalizaciones, que también fue la mayor cantidad para cualquier equipo en la NFL esta temporada. Tuvieron 11 penalizaciones en la primera mitad, empatando el récord de más penalizaciones antes del medio tiempo para cualquier equipo en los últimos 20 años.
Jacoby Brissett de Arizona fue titular en su quinto partido consecutivo en lugar del lesionado Kyler Murray y completó 47 de 57 pases para 452 yardas, dos touchdowns y dos intercepciones. Las 47 establecieron un récord de la NFL en la temporada regular.
Michael Wilson atrapó 15 pases para un récord personal de 185 yardas. El ala cerrada Trey McBride tuvo 115 yardas de recepción y un touchdown.

Rams logran cuatro intercepciones y Seahawks fallan gol de campo final en triunfo de LA 21-19
Por GREG BEACHAM
INGLEWOOD, California, EE.UU. (AP) — Kamren Kinchens consiguió dos de las cuatro intercepciones de los Rams, Matthew Stafford lanzó dos pases de anotación y Los Ángeles resistió para vencer 21-19 a los Seahawks de Seattle el domingo, logrando su quinta victoria consecutiva.
Jason Myers pateó desviado un intento de gol de campo de 61 yardas cuando el tiempo expiró, permitiendo a los Rams (8-2) sobrevivir a la furiosa remontada tardía de los Seahawks.
La defensiva de Seattle logró una rápida detención después de que Kenneth Walker III se lanzara para el primer touchdown de los Seahawks con 2:23 por jugar.
El excelente despeje de Ethan Evans salió fuera de los límites en la yarda uno de Seattle con 1:41 restante, pero Sam Darnold se recuperó de su difícil tarde y llevó a los Seahawks hasta el medio campo. Rashid Shaheed hizo una recepción en la yarda 43 de los Rams antes de pedir un tiempo muerto con un segundo en el reloj de juego.
Myers había logrado cuatro goles de campo anteriormente, pero se quedó muy corto en el último intento, que habría igualado su récord personal.
Davante Adams tuvo su décima recepción de touchdown y Kyren Williams corrió para 91 yardas y un touchdown para los Rams, quienes compensaron una actuación ofensiva inconsistente al forzar a Darnold a su primer juego con cuatro intercepciones desde 2019.
Kinchens igualó su actuación de dos intercepciones en la victoria de los Rams en tiempo extra en Seattle la temporada pasada, mientras que Cobie Durant y Darious Williams también lograron intercepciones en la segunda mitad.
Darnold pasó para 279 yardas para los Seahawks (7-3), cuya notable racha de diez victorias consecutivas como visitantes terminó.

Chile’s presidential race headed to tense runoff between communist and hard-right candidates
SANTIAGO, Chile — The communist candidate of Chile’s center-left government, Jeannette Jara, and a hard-right veteran politician, José Antonio Kast, will vie for the country’s presidency in a runoff vote next month after neither gained a winning margin in a polarized election on Sunday, the government said.
With nearly 80% of the vote counted and results still trickling in, Chile’s left-wing President Gabriel Boric recognized Jara and Kast as the front-runners headed to the second round of elections, scheduled for Dec. 14.
“I trust that dialogue, respect and love for Chile will prevail over any differences,” Boric said as he congratulated the rivals.
Shortly after he spoke, cheers erupted from the campaign headquarters of Jara and Kast on opposite ends of the capital of Santiago.
Jara claimed more than 26% of valid ballots — far short of the 50% threshold to claim victory in the first round.
“I want to send a warm hug to all those who voted for me,” Jara said after learning of the results. “This is a great country.”
Kast was close behind, securing over 24% of the vote, underscoring the power of his tough-on-crime platform in response to widespread discontent with rising insecurity and illegal immigration.
That could clear the way for a swing to the right in Chile, the world’s biggest copper producer and one of the region’s most prosperous and stable countries.
It was the first presidential election in Chile since voting has been mandatory and the registration of voters automatic, with over 15.7 million voters obliged to vote out of a national population of over 18 million, after years of abysmal voter turnout.
Even as Jara, 51, the government’s former labor minister, came out on top, Kast, 59, will be buoyed in the second round by a good share of votes that went to the eliminated right-wing challengers.

Loomered: Trump Withdraws Nominee For Top IRS Lawyer
President Donald Trump on Friday withdrew the nomination of veteran tax attorney Donald L. Korb to serve as the top lawyer for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), right as the Senate was preparing to vote on his nomination for assistant general counsel – which provides legal advice and support to departmental officials, including how the government interprets tax codes and defends their positions in US Tax Court.

While Trump gave no explanation for the move – writing only on Truth social “Please be advised that I am withdrawing the nomination of Donald Korb to be Assistant General Counsel in the Department of the Treasury,” it comes after activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer alleged “major red flags” that disqualify him.
As the Epoch Times notes, days before Trump pulled Korb’s nomination, the veteran tax attorney came under fire by right-wing activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer, who alleged he had “several major red flags that disqualify him from assuming his role under the Trump administration.” In a post on social media, Loomer said Korb had too much past association with Democrats.
After the president withdrew Korb’s nomination, Loomer took credit in a post on X.

Korb did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.
The president has pulled multiple nominees in recent months as he continues to fill critical positions in his second administration.
On Sept. 19, Trump withdrew the nomination of Erik Siebert to serve as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Siebert had been leading the probe into New York Attorney General Letitia James’s mortgage fraud case, but his office did not find “incriminating evidence” to bring charges, according to a joint statement by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.).
The following day, Trump said he had appointed his former attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to serve in the role as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The White House announced on Sept. 30 that it had withdrawn economist EJ Antoni’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“Dr. EJ Antoni is a brilliant economist and an American patriot that will continue to do good work on behalf of our great country,” a White House official said. “President Trump is committed to fixing the longstanding failures at the BLS that have undermined the public’s trust in critical economic data.”

General Daily Insight for November 17, 2025
Small moves can unlock surprisingly big doors. As the gleaming Sun trines jovial Jupiter at 12:08 AM EST, we’re empowered with generous optimism regarding all forms of collaboration.

They help us name truths kindly, turning potentially tough talks into agreements that everyone’s willing to support. Keep events in perspective to navigate them with ease.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
A calm tone should make hard talks easier. Trust deepens as the vibrant Sun (currently into your 8th House of Sharing) trines lucky Jupiter over in your 4th House of Inner Needs. You’re strong enough to talk about active issues and shared obligations, whether a home chore isn’t getting done or a mutual budget needs more from you both. Have patience with anyone else involved and stay curious about each other’s needs. Give them the candid information you want in return to nourish trust.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Partnerships breathe easier without harsh retorts. Your 7th House of Connections lights up as the radiant Sun embraces auspicious Jupiter, inviting a mutual negotiation that actually satisfies everyone involved. Steady loyalty helps, as Jupiter’s presence in your 3rd House of Communication supports listening. When possible, take the time to refine your words before speaking. You may practice a script before a necessary call or write down what you want to say to a friend. Aim for clarity, because kindness keeps everything fair.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
A curious question can open a helpful door. Cerebral Mercury sextiles piercing Pluto, boosting your capacity to research options and discover the facts before choosing a plan or provider. You know how to step back and look at the wider context, so a debate about recent ideas can be shaped into a calmer discussion. That way, when the time comes to take action, such as booking travel plans, everyone involved (including you, of course) should have clear information regarding what they’re paying for.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Play leads your heart to simple joy. Creative sparks meet easy luck as the bouncy Sun trines joyous Jupiter, empowering your exuberant 5th house and confident 1st house. That’s right — Jupiter’s in your caring sign! Go ahead and invite a shy friend out or share a beloved hobby with your circle without second‑guessing yourself. If plans shift, you may pivot to a cozy movie night where you relax together, free of outside pressures. When your hearth is warm, loved ones will flock to it.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Home life has a unique rhythm. Your 4th House of Security is steadied by the Sun’s trine with disciplined Saturn, which helps you build routines that work for you. Rest is just as vital as productivity — so if you’ve spent all day oiling squeaky hinges, take the evening off! If others refuse to do their part, you can explain how important it is that everyone contribute without losing your temper. Having a shared calendar could also reduce further mix-ups. Protect your nest!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Order returns in a, well, organized manner! Chatty Mercury sextiles powerful Pluto, with Pluto in your 4th House of Foundations today, energizing you to sort paperwork and explain expectations without sounding picky. Your 6th House of Daily Routine emphasizes that characteristic Virgo eye for detail even further. You can craft a simple cleaning circuit that keeps weekdays smoother for everyone. If guests drop by, you can kindly point out your house rules without awkwardness. Minor practices can save tons of energy over time.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Value grows when you handle something gently. Your 2nd House of Worth brightens as the dynamic Sun trines jolly Jupiter, encouraging a kind check‑in with your budget that supports your day without draining your bank account. Your 10th House of Status offers perspective, so you can analyze whether or not you REALLY need that online subscription. Perhaps you could negotiate a shared account or split up a monthly gift box with a friend. Respect your worth, because fair choices strengthen peace.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Your presence changes the mood in rooms — don’t worry, for the better. The Sun and Jupiter are highlighting your identity, so you may introduce an idea and set a pace everyone can follow. Your 9th House of Learning adds breadth, allowing you to back up your suggestions with grounded reasoning. If someone resists, you’ve got the strength to accept their valid critiques while resisting unnecessary alterations. Be ready to discuss potential changes to any plan. When you lead gently, others should support your authority.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Your words carry warmth and bravery. Honesty will land best as intellectual Mercury sextiles unearthing Pluto, sharpening your voice and timing so you can introduce yourself and ask follow‑up questions without sounding pushy. Your 3rd House of Communication supports introductions, letting you stay clear and friendly without adding too much fluff to your responses. If nerves are still running rampant, consider carrying something like a worry stone that you can hold onto for support. And remember, clarity is the best way to move ideas forward.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Teamwork clicks with clear, up-to-date roles. The willful Sun reaches out from your chaotic 3rd house to support responsible Saturn in your connected 11th house. Their alignment supports your efforts to define a group project, plan a party, or schedule a check‑in that keeps the momentum rolling. The rewards of discipline take time (and cooperation) to earn. If you’ve recently invited your friends to anything, be sure to reconfirm the schedule beforehand. Being transparent with one another will help everyone have a good time.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
A visible aim steadies your pace. Today’s astrology centers on your 10th House of Status and 6th House of Productivity, with the Sun and Jupiter supporting your journey to success. Whether you’re in the workplace or the public eye, you may need to discuss essential issues with an authority figure. For instance, you could suggest a modernized workflow or a more doable timeline for a public works project. If praise arrives, share credit wherever it’s due. Lead with solutions, and let success invite further collaboration.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Clarity helps your current efforts land with grace. Your work situation may be somewhat quieter than usual, with Mercury in your confidential 12th house. That said, as Mercury uplifts intense Pluto in your 10th House of Reputation, you’re potentially just biding your time to make the biggest impact possible. Once you speak up, you should have everyone’s ear. Still, keep an eye out for unexpected deadlines to spare yourself from urgent weekend scrambling. Keep messages crisp in order to gain useful support.

Fox anota 28 puntos y lidera a los Spurs sin Wembanyama por 123-110 sobre Kings
Por RAUL DOMÍNGUEZ
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — De’Aaron Fox tuvo su mejor actuación de la temporada con 28 puntos y 11 asistencias, y los Spurs de San Antonio vencieron el domingo 123-110 a los Kings de Sacramento, con Victor Wembanyama perdiéndose su primer partido de la temporada debido a una lesión en la pantorrilla.
Harrison Barnes sumó 20 puntos y Devin Vassell anotó 16 puntos mientras San Antonio rompía una racha de dos derrotas consecutivas.
Wembanyama fue descartado antes del partido debido a una distensión en la pantorrilla izquierda. El entrenador de San Antonio, Mitch Johnson, comentó que la lesión era progresiva y no se debía a una sola jugada. El estado de Wembanyama se evaluará día a día.
San Antonio también perdió a Stephon Castle tras la primera mitad debido a una lesión en la cadera izquierda. Su estado es desconocido, pero estuvo en el banco durante la segunda mitad.
Los Spurs continuaron su ataque equilibrado sin Wembanyama liderando el camino.
Siete jugadores anotaron en cifras dobles, con Keldon Johnson contribuyendo con 14 puntos y 12 rebotes.
DeMar DeRozan lideró a Sacramento con 27 puntos, que perdió su sexto partido consecutivo. Domantas Sabonis añadió 17 puntos y 13 rebotes.

Tuchel dice que Bellingham debe aceptar sus decisiones tras su reacción al ser sustituido
El entrenador de Inglaterra, Thomas Tuchel, afirma que Jude Bellingham debe aceptar sus decisiones después de que el centrocampista expresara su frustración al ser sustituido cerca del final de la victoria 2-0 sobre Albania en la clasificación europea para el Mundial el domingo.
Bellingham había sido amonestado a los 80 minutos del partido y fue retirado cuatro minutos después tras hacer su primera aparición como titular con Inglaterra desde junio. La estrella del Real Madrid de 22 años levantó los brazos en señal de frustración justo después del segundo gol, al ver a Morgan Rogers esperando para reemplazarlo en la línea de banda.
“Esa es la decisión, y él tiene que aceptarla”, dijo Tuchel. “Su amigo está esperando en la banda, así que necesitas aceptarlo, respetarlo y seguir adelante”.
“Voy a tener que revisarlo”, expresó Tuchel, quien ha tenido enfrentamientos previos con Bellingham. “Vi que no estaba contento. No quiero hacerlo más grande en este momento de lo que es”.
Tuchel elogió a sus jugadores involucrados en la campaña en la que Inglaterra ganó los ocho partidos sin recibir goles.
“Felicitaciones a ellos, fue un placer luchar con ellos y apoyarlos desde la línea de banda”, manifestó el entrenador.
