The Cincinnati Bengals became the first team in the NFL to lose to the New York Jets this season following a fourth-quarter collapse. New York headed into their bye with a 39-38 win to end the team's third-longest losing streak to open a season.

For the Bengals, the offense had one of its best days of the season, especially on the ground. But a question remains as the Bengals sit at 3-5: how soon can franchise quarterback Joe Burrow come back?

Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's been on injured reserve (IR) ever since and was on the sidelines in Week 8 at home.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor spoke about Burrow's status today.

"He's been good. I don't have any updates [on the progress]. It's gone as we had hoped," Taylor said.

"He's had a great attitude, great energy about him. He's in the meetings, met with him one-on-one, he's been great to be around, optimistic and things have been going well, but I don't have any update on the timeline."

That current timeline keeps Burrow sidelined for much of the regular season following surgery to repair his toe.

Cincinnati traded for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco from the Browns after dropping to 2-3. He led the team to a win in Week 7 against divisional foe Pittsburgh.

Flacco is day-to-day with a shoulder injury and that puts his status for Sunday's Week 9 game against Chicago in doubt.

With Flacco potentially out, Bengals fans may be wondering when their star quarterback will be back in the lineup. Here's what we know.

How long is Joe Burrow out?

Burrow had surgery on his toe on Sept. 19 and that procedure requires a minimum three-month recovery. Three months from his surgery date is Dec. 19, two days before the Bengals' Week 16 road contest against the Miami Dolphins.

Getting him back on the field that quickly uses the minimum recovery time. If things aren't fully ideal and he still needs a week to ramp up to game shape, that'd put him back on the field for Cincinnati's Week 17 game at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

Either way, the Bengals need to hold on over the next six weeks to keep pace in the AFC wild card race.

AFC North standings -

Pittsburgh Steelers: 4-3 (1-1 in AFC North)

Cincinnati Bengals: 3-5 (2-0)

Baltimore Ravens: 2-5 (1-0)

Cleveland Browns: 2-6 (0-3)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have shuffled their slumping lineup for Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday, notably moving Mookie Betts down in the order for the first time in four years and benching Andy Pages.

Betts will bat third in the lineup submitted by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, while Freddie Freeman moved down to fourth. Catcher Will Smith moved up to second behind Shohei Ohtani.

Roberts made the changes after the defending champions batted .214 while splitting the first four games with the Toronto Blue Jays. Los Angeles has only 34 hits — 10 fewer than Toronto — and has relied heavily on seven homers to drive in its 17 runs.

"In the postseason, you've got to be a little bit more reactive than the regular season," Roberts said. "When I netted out the value of what I feel gives us the best chance to win today, that was a decision I made."

Roberts wouldn't get any deeper into the details of his reasons for the moves at the top of his lineup.

"As far as Mookie and Will, I just feel that that's the best way to win the game tonight," Roberts said. "So both players were alerted, and both players are all on board."

Game 5 will be the first time since 2021 that Betts isn't starting in one of the top two spots in Los Angeles' lineup.

The eight-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion has been the Dodgers' No. 2 hitter nearly all season behind Ohtani. Roberts resisted any temptation to move Betts during rough spots in his underwhelming regular season at the plate.

But Betts is 3 for 19 with no RBIs and no extra-base hits in the World Series after going 2 for 12 without scoring a run in the past two games at Dodger Stadium, and Roberts decided he could wait no longer.

"There's some mechanics," Roberts said. "They're making good pitches. He's working hard to kind of clean some things up. ... All that matters is just going out there and taking four or five good at-bats, and so all I'm concerned about is tonight, and I know that's what's on Mookie's mind, too."

Smith is 4 for 17 with a homer and four RBIs in the World Series while also catching every inning.

Alex Call is in the lineup in place of Pages, who is 1 for 15 in the World Series and 4 for 50 with one RBI in the entire postseason. Call will play left field while Kiké Hernández moves to center.

Pages had an .828 OPS at the start of July during a first half that inspired All-Star talk around the outfielder, but he dropped off in the second half. Only his defense in center field — and the Dodgers' lack of a tempting alternative — likely kept Pages in the lineup this long into his October struggles.

Roberts is giving a start to Call, who is 4 for 17 in his first MLB postseason as a backup outfielder. The Dodgers are eager to get more runners on base for Ohtani from the bottom of their lineup.

Roberts said he inserted Call to improve the Dodgers' "at-bat quality, seeing pitches, the potential to get somebody on base for Shohei at the top. I feel good with Kiké in center field and Alex's defense in left."

Luigi Mangione, Taylor Swift -

Luigi Mangione, 27, is listening to Taylor Swift and Charli XCX songs in jail, he wrote in a letter to a supporter

He is also listening to the rapper Lil Durk on the insistence of a fellow inmate, he wrote in the same letter

The recipient of Mangione's letter provided PEOPLE with an image of the typed and handwritten note as well as the stamped envelope it arrived in to confirm its authenticity

Is Luigi Mangione a Swiftie?

In June, Mangione sent a letter to supporters, friends and pen pals which listed 27 things he was thankful for on the occasion of his 27th birthday.

The letters were all typed out, but a few had additional written sections where Mangione shared opinions, updates or well-wishes.

On Tuesday, the individual who runs the Twitter account The Mangione Trial said they received one of these letters in June, and then posted that letter on social media.

The Mangione Trial also provided proof of the letter's authenticity by providing PEOPLE with photos of the letter and a stamped envelope it arrived in, and said the letter was a response to one they sent Mangione on May 22.

Mangione's website, which keeps a running list of all mail he receives in jail, also shows that he got a letter from someone referred to as MT on May 22.

Luigi Mangione Letter

The letter starts off with a typed list of the things Mangione is grateful for, then includes a personalized message at the end of the letter.

Mangione wrote at the bottom of this letter that he "downloaded a bunch of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX onto my tablet" the previous week because he had "never really listened to either of them."

He said that his decision to listen to the artists came after "some phony list of my favorite music circulated on social media," which is likely a reference to the multiple doctored Spotify playlists shared on social media after his arrest in December 2024 which some people edited by adding art to suggest songs from artists like Swift or Charli XCX were on the original list.

"Rather than be a buzzkill and set the record straight, I figured I'd see what all the hype was about," Mangione wrote.

He then said that while walking laps "on the top tier of my unit," he listened to "Cardigan" by Swift, a song off her 2020 Album Folklore.

That listening session ended prematurely, however, Mangione wrote, when an inmate he refers to as "King" asked about the song he was listening to during his walk.

"He scolds me for a while, then replaces all my music. Now I listen to Lil Durk," Mangione wrote at the end of the letter.

Inmates are able to purchase MP3 players from the commissary at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and then download songs onto the players by hooking their devices up to the Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System (TRULINCS) modules in their housing unit and then purchasing songs that are available in the prison catalog.

In that same letter, Mangione had initially listed "Cardigan" as one of the things he was thankful for, but that was crossed off and just below he wrote a song by Lil Durk: "Dis Ain't What You Want."

Mangione is currently awaiting both federal and state trials at MDC, where inmates refer to him as the "ambassador" because of the work he does acclimating new inmates to the facility.

Authorities arrested Mangione at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania on Dec. 9, 2024, five days after the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside his Manhattan hotel.

Mangione was extradited to New York City 10 days later and charged with four federal crimes by prosecutors for the Southern District of New York.

He was then booked into the MDC, where he has remained since.

Mangione will be back in court on Dec. 1 for a pretrial hearing in his New York state case.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith felt the dark thoughts creeping back into his mind before last weekend's game.

This time, though, he won the battle.

After missing Indy's final five games last season because of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder that led him to contemplate suicide, the former Auburn lineman is thriving again now that he's learned how to cope with the condition.

"I felt very eager to prove something to myself," Smith said Wednesday. "Every day for me is really a victory because of everything that happened last year. Just being able to actually, truly enjoy life, there's kind of this power that's kind of harnessed when you're able to identify the problem. You know these things still creep in, like I remember Sunday morning some stuff crept and I was like, 'I know what this is,' and I used the tools. I was able to set it aside. I was like, 'All right, you know these things still happen.' OCD is still part of my life, it's just how I manage it."

Getting to this point — staying positive and focusing on the joys of life — so he could be the husband and father he strives to be and the teammate he wants to be, took the 6-foot-6, 312-pound Kansan on a long, unimaginable journey.

Smith was diagnosed with religious scrupulosity. The condition is driven by anxiety about engaging in actions that might offend God or could be seen as blasphemous and can lead to obsessive behaviors such as constant prayer or repeated repentance. In Smith's case, it meant trying to be perfect in every way.

He started seeing a psychologist early last season after telling his wife, Courtney, he would retire at the end of the season if the condition didn't improve. In November, he checked into a mental health facility in Colorado, where he spent 48 days.

When that proved only minimally helpful, Smith traveled to Mexico, where he used a psychoactive compound, ibogaine, that is not legal in the U.S. but has been used to treat addictions, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety and depression.

It changed his life.

"This is me versus my OCD and I, kind of like I said, going back to my values, I know who I am and that's a big part of it," Smith said. "When I had OCD, I don't truly feel like I knew who I was, but I feel like I have a better idea of who I am now, and I can always lean on that."

The key, he said, is staying focused on the here and now, and not letting his thoughts drift.

At home, the new approach helped Smith accept that attempting to do the right things is good enough.

On the field, it helped revive a once-promising career that had been derailed by injuries. He missed seven games in 2023 with various ailments, then missed the last five games in 2024 when he said he was "physically present but nowhere to be found."

Now he's playing the kind of football Indy envisioned when it signed him to a four-year, $72.4 million contract extension in July 2021 — perhaps even better than the Pro Bowl level coaches thought he competed at prior to 2023. Smith and his teammates along the line have paved the way for a Colts team that has the NFL's best record and top rusher and has allowed the second-fewest sacks.

Along the way, Smith has leaned on a strong supporting cast inside the locker room of a team that has invested heavily in "Kicking The Stigma," a campaign to promote mental health awareness.

"I respect Braden Smith wholeheartedly, just for taking the time out for himself to really maximize his well-being, not only for himself, but for his family," cornerback Kenny Moore II said. "I've had a lot of conversations with Braden through the time or probably post that time where he was going through a lot, and I just have a lot of respect and love as a brother and as a friend for my teammate."

But as Smith knows, his battle is not over.

Periodically, obsessive thoughts may return and when they do, Smith has a plan. He's not thinking ahead to next week, whether he'll re-sign with Indy next year or even if he'll be playing football next season. Instead, he's learned how to stay focused on the present.

"I'm honestly grateful for last year because without it, I wouldn't have such a self-awareness of how I think, how I go about things," he said. "I learned a lot about myself through it, and you know I'm a better husband because of it, a better father because of it, a better teammate and I'm continuing to grow as a person. My journey isn't over yet. I still have a lot of room to grow and learn, and I look forward to that."

NBA sees a surge in viewership across NBC, ESPN and Amazon Prime to kick off the season

The NBA is back, and NBC, ESPN and Amazon Prime each have seen viewership rise in the most-watched October opening week in 15 years, according to the NBA.

The NBA Tip-Off 2025 had nearly 37 million viewers in the United States tuning in across NBC/Peacock, ESPN and Amazon Prime. This marks a staggering 100% increase year-to-year and the most viewers for an opening week in 15 years.

The NBA season kicked off with a bang on October 21, featuring two thrilling matchups. In the first game, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the defending champions, emerged victorious against the Houston Rockets in a nail-biting 125-124 double-overtime finish. This game, averaging 5.85 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, was the most-watched opening-night game since 2010. The second game of opening night saw the Golden State Warriors securing a 119-109 win against the Los Angeles Lakers. This matchup, with an average of 5.11 million viewers, was the most-viewed game during the late window.

ESPN experienced a surge in viewership, recording its second-highest opening week since 2014, with an average of 2.2 million viewers across four games on Oct. 22 and 23. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime saw a 13% increase in viewership, averaging 1.25 million viewers during its debut, which featured matchups between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics, as well as the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lakers.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo's season-ending injuries included not only a dislocated ankle but also a fibula fracture and deltoid ligament rupture, NFL Network reported Wednesday.

Skattebo sustained the injuries to his lower right leg midway through the second quarter in Sunday's 28-20 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

He was transported to a Philadelphia-area hospital and underwent surgery before being discharged on Monday. The team placed him on injured reserve on Tuesday, and Giants coach Brian Daboll declined to speculate on a timeline for Skattebo's return to the field.

"He's a couple days out of surgery. ... He's got a road ahead of him to rehab," Daboll said Wednesday.

According to Wednesday's report, Skattebo's injuries have a six-month recovery period, meaning he could still be ready for team OTAs and minicamp.

"I couldn't answer that. You have to ask the doctors," Daboll responded when asked about the possibility of Skattebo playing next season. "I don't think they can give me a six-month or eight-month prognostication. He's just getting done with surgery. He's got his leg all wrapped up.

"We're just going to help him rehab and he'll be out here as soon as he can."

Skattebo, 23, posted on X on Monday afternoon, expressing gratitude to those who reached out and helped him.

"Thank you everyone for the support," Skattebo posted. "Surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philly for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way. Thank you to the doctors, surgeons, and staff that did their best work on me. This is just the beginning of my journey and I can't wait to show you guys all about it!!! GOD has a plan for me, stick the course and it will all work itself out. BRB (be right back)."

New York selected Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Arizona State.

He had 101 carries for 410 yards and five touchdowns in eight games (five starts). He also caught 24 passes for 207 yards and two TDs.

Daboll said Skattebo was in the building taking part in meetings on Wednesday.

"He's been in, I've seen him wheeling around," Daboll said.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie on November 29, 2023The Gist -

Amid their parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's ongoing scandal, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have reportedly both left the U.K. for separate trips.

Beatrice is in Saudi Arabia for work, while Eugenie is in Paris for a girls' trip.

While Andrew and Ferguson have given up their Duke and Duchess of York titles, Beatrice and Eugenie's standing in the royal family remains unchanged.

As scandal continues to loom around their parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have quietly left the U.K., both taking under-the-radar, out-of-the-country excursions, per Hello!.

The outlet reported that Eugenie was photographed with friends in Paris on a girls' trip, and was pictured alongside two of her girlfriends along the Seine with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background.

Meanwhile, Beatrice jetted off to Saudi Arabia for the Future Investment Initiative, an event where high-level, global businesses meet to discuss innovation across tech and finance. It makes sense that Beatrice would be there, as she is the vice president of partnerships and strategy at U.S. software company Afiniti.

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson on September 16, 2025

On October 17, their father and mother relinquished their respective Duke and Duchess of York titles amid ongoing fallout from their association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the aftermath, rumors have swirled that the ex-couple—who divorced in 1996 but still live together—might be leaving the 30-room mansion Royal Lodge and relocating to other properties on the Windsor estate.

The day after the news broke that Andrew and Ferguson would surrender their prestigious royal titles, Beatrice and Eugenie both skipped a planned appearance at the inaugural Pink Ball at the British Museum on October 18. While no firm reason was given for their absence, its close proximity to Andrew's announcement leaves little guesswork as to why.

Though their parents have lost their titles, Beatrice and Eugenie's princess status and their respective places in the British line of succession will remain unaffected. Neither are working royals; Beatrice, as previously mentioned, works at Afiniti, while Eugenie is a director at the Hauser & Wirth art gallery.

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Princess Beatrice on October 14, 2025

Just before the big announcement from Andrew on October 17, both Beatrice and Eugenie were out and about socially. Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi had two back-to-back nights out, stepping out in London on October 13 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Art of Wishes Gala and then on October 14 to the Chancery Rosewood hotel's grand opening—where rooms rent for around $27,000 a night, per People.

That same day, Eugenie took on a rare royal duty during an official state visit from the royal family of Jordan, touring Springfield University Hospital and St. George's Mental Health NHS Trust alongside Princess Rajwa of Jordan. The two women then toured Hauser & Wirth together, according to People.

A post shared by Princess Eugenie (@princesseugenie)

In a recent report from The Sunday Times, Beatrice and Eugenie's cousin Prince William is said to want Andrew in no part of his future reign—everything from his coronation to the royal family's traditional Christmas celebrations at Sandringham. While the Prince of Wales is said to also be banning Ferguson from all aspects of royal life, he still welcomes the company of Beatrice and Eugenie into the fold.

Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson wasn't able to play the past couple weeks, but still found a way to make an impact with the team. Turns out, Jackson was the main voice behind the Ravens removing ping-pong tables and games from the team's locker room amid its poor start to the season.

Jackson confirmed as much Tuesday, saying he wanted his teammates to focus on turning things around after starting the year 1-5.

"I told Kenico [Hines], our head equipment guy, I told him to take all the games and ping-pong and turn the TVs off. If we could have took the TVs out, they would have been out too. I appreciate Mr. Steve [Bisciotti] for putting that in there for us, but we had to focus.

"I don't want to say people don't take the job serious, don't get me wrong, but I don't feel like it was the time for that. We've got a lot of work to do."

Jackson was asked about his role in the team removing games from the locker room after veteran Marlon Humphrey revealed Jackson was at the center of the tactic. Jackson wasn't upset that his name was leaked and happily answered the question.

Jackson said he does not anticipate those games to return to the locker room until next season. For now, he wants the Ravens focused on getting back to their winning ways.

The team accomplished that Sunday, beating the Chicago Bears, 30-16. The win pushed the Ravens to 2-5, keeping the team alive in a shaky AFC North.

While the Ravens still have a lot of work to do to get to a winning record, help is on the way. Jackson is ready to return from his hamstring injury and is expected to play against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier will reportedly not get paid while they are on leave from their NBA teams, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The NBA will reportedly withhold Billups' and Rozier's paychecks and place them in escrow pending the outcome of the FBI cases, per Charania.

The NBPA announced in a statement that it intends to challenge the decision to withhold Rozier's salary, citing its collective bargaining agreement with the NBA.

"While we are in agreement with the league that upholding the integrity of the game is of the utmost importance, their decision to place Terry on leave without pay is counter to the presumption of innocence and inconsistent with the terms of our Collective Bargaining Agreement," the statement reads. "We plan to challenge their decision via the proper channels."

Billups and Rozier were arrested by the FBI on Thursday as part of two separate illegal gambling cases. Billups was arrested for his alleged involvement in rigged poker games. Billups, who was reportedly aware the games were rigged, played in them to give the impression the games were legitimate. Game operators reportedly used rigged shuffling machines, X-ray tables and other devices to cheat certain players out of winning hands.

Rozier was arrested in a separate case, in which he allegedly shared inside information with an individual who shared that information with bettors. The game in question occurred during the 2022-23 NBA season, when Rozier was still with the Charlotte Hornets. A bettor reportedly placed nearly $14,000 on Rozier unders for that game. Rozier left the contest after just nine minutes due to a foot injury, causing those under bets to win.

Former Cleveland Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones was also arrested Thursday. Jones is not currently an active member of the NBA in either role.

Hours after the FBI arrested Billups and Rozier, the two men were placed on immediate leave by the NBA. The league said it was reviewing the federal indictments the FBI released Thursday and took the allegations "with the utmost seriousness."

Rozier, 31, was entering the final year of the four-year, $97 million deal he signed with the Hornets in 2021. He was traded to the Heat in 2024 and was set to make $26 million during the 2025-26 NBA season.

Billups, 49, agreed to a two-year extension to stay with Portland in April. Financial details of Billups' contract, including his salary, were not made available at the time.

Did Giannis Antetokounmpo travel? Bucks star ignites NBA gather rule debate

Giannis Antetokounmpo caught the ball just inside the halfcourt line at Fiserv Forum, and then took seven steps to just one dribble before scoring a basket over New York Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns.

Nobody noticed what the Milwaukee Bucks superstar had pulled off live during the national NBC broadcast on Tuesday, Oct. 28, as the Bucks played host to the Knicks in an early-season NBA matchup. But a slow-motion replay revealed a sequence that would quickly inspire the latest social media debate about whether the best basketball league in the world actually calls traveling anymore.

"We could have played til we were 50, if we get that runway," Reggie Miller said to fellow NBC analyst and former NBA player Jamal Crawford as they laughed and counted the steps on air.

But Antetokounmpo did not get called for traveling and NBC's Mike Tirico explained on the broadcast to an incredulous Miller the non-call might have been the correct call given the way the NBA's "gather rule" is written. It became the highlight shared around the internet on a night when the Bucks secured a 121-111 win behind 37 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists from Antetokounmpo against the team that had trade talks about him this past offseason.

Here's a breakdown of the gather rule, how it applies to Antetokounmpo's travel/non-travel against the Knicks and some of the best reactions to Antetokounmpo's one-dribble foray to the basket:

NBA GAMBLING SCANDAL TIMELINE: Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, Mafia ties explained

What is the NBA's gather rule?

The actual act of "the gather," is defined in two ways by the NBA in Section II of its official rules. For a player who receives the ball via a pass or gains possession of a loose ball, the gather is defined as "the point where the player gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or the player cradles the ball against his body."

For a player who is in control of the ball while dribbling, the gather is defined as the point where a player does any one of the following:

Puts two hands on the ball, or otherwise permits the ball to come to rest, while he is in control of it.

Puts a hand under the ball and brings it to a pause;

Otherwise gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or the player cradles the ball against his body.

In Antetokounmpo's case, latter definition of "the gather" applies because it occurred while he was in control of the ball and dribbling, even if just one time. Furthermore, Section XIII of the NBA rules state "a player who gathers the ball while progressing may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball."

How NBA gather rule applies to Giannis Antetokounmpo play

Though Antetokounmpo took five steps after his lone dribble on the play, the non-travel argument would be that his "gather" didn't technically start until he put his left hand on the ball. He only took two steps after that.

"The counting starts when he can't dribble anymore, so that ball is laying on his hand, he can put it down one more time," Tirico said on the broadcast to an unconvinced Miller. "Alright look, Reg, don't look at me. I don't write the rules. I just read them to you, pal. I didn't say that that wasn't (traveling). I'm just saying that's what it is."

Best Giannis Antetokounmpo reactions

Miller was among those to make light of the situation, and crack jokes playing off the ambiguity of the rule. "There's going to be some kid in Oshkosh, Wisconsin now going to their local gym yelling, I'm doing the gather," Miller said.

Here are some more of the compelling reactions around social media after the highlight of Antetokounmpo's non-travel went viral:

The NBA's gather rule has to be fixed. There's no planet on which this shouldn't be a travel. It would take Giannis fewer steps to walk back to Greece. pic.twitter.com/AH9i0bBkiT

I hate that stupid takes like this get far more attention than the truth Giannis clearly does not travel. If you think he does, you do not know and/or understand the rules https://t.co/T5Ec9KjebJ pic.twitter.com/qp7vfmEeSh
