US stock futures drift lower as Wall St ends record run before nonfarm payrolls - Investing.comBroncos waive WR Josh Reynolds, ending Denver tenure after five games played
CLEVELAND (AP) — Shortly after doing a face-down snow angel, firing a few celebratory snowballs and singing “Jingle Bells” on his way to the media room, Jameis Winston ended his postgame news conference with a simple question. “Am I a Brown yet?” he asked. He is now. And who knows? Maybe for a lot longer than expected. Winston entered Cleveland football folklore on Thursday night by leading the Browns to a 24-19 win over the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers, who had their five-game winning streak stopped. Winston's performance at Huntington Bank Field, which transformed into the world's largest snow globe, not only made him an instantaneous hero in the eyes of Browns fans but added another wrinkle to the team's ever-changing, never-ending quarterback conundrum. In his fourth start since Deshaun Watson's season-ending Achilles tendon injury, Winston made enough big plays to help the Browns (3-8) get a victory that should quiet conjecture about coach Kevin Stefanski's job. Some wins mean more than others. In Cleveland, beating the Steelers is as big as it gets. But beyond any instant gratification, Winston has given the Browns more to consider as they move forward. Watson's future with Cleveland is highly uncertain since it will still be months before the team has a grip on whether he's even an option in 2025, his fourth year since signing a $230 million, fully guaranteed contract that has proven calamitous. It's also possible the Browns will cut ties with Watson. They signed Winston to a one-year contract to be Watson's backup. But the unexpected events of 2024 have changed plans and led to the possibility that the 30-year-old Winston could become Cleveland's full-time QB or a bridge to their next young one. So much is unclear. What's not is that Winston, who leaped into the end zone on fourth-and-2 for a TD to put the Browns ahead 18-6 in the fourth quarter, is a difference maker. With his larger-than-life personality and the joy he shows whether practicing or throwing three touchdown passes, he has lifted the Browns. A man of faith, he's made his teammates believe. Winston has done what Watson couldn't: made the Browns better. “A very, very authentic person,” Stefanski said Friday on a Zoom call. “He’s the same guy every single day. He's the same guy at 5 a.m. as he at 5 p.m. He brings great energy to everything he does, and I think his teammates appreciate that about him.” Winston, who is 2-2 as a starter with wins over the Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, has a knack for inspiring through fiery, preacher-like pregame speeches. But what has impressed the Browns is his ability to stay calm in the storm. “He doesn’t get rattled,” said Myles Garrett, who had three sacks against the Steelers . “He’s just tuned in and focused as anyone I’ve seen at that position. Turn the page. There was a turnover, came back to the sideline, ‘Love you. I’m sorry. We’re going to get it back.’ He was already on to the next one, ‘How can we complete the mission?’ “I have a lot of respect for him. First was from afar and now seeing it on the field in front of me, it’s a blessing to have someone who plays a game with such a passion and want-to. You can’t ask for a better teammate when they take those things to heart and they want to play for you like we’re actually brothers and that’s what we have to attain. That brotherhood.” Winston has done something else Watson couldn't: move the offense. The Browns scored more than 20 points for just the second time this season, and like Joe Flacco a year ago, Winston has shown that Stefanski's system works with a quarterback patient enough to let plays develop and unafraid to take shots downfield. The conditions certainly were a factor, but the Browns were a miserable 1 of 10 on third down, a season-long trend. However, Cleveland converted all four fourth-down tries, including a fourth-and-3 pass from Winston to Jerry Jeudy with 2:36 left that helped set up Nick Chubb's go-ahead TD run. RT Jack Conklin. Garrett outplayed Steelers star T.J. Watt in their rivalry within the rivalry partly because Conklin did a nice job containing Pittsburgh's edge rusher, who was held without a sack and had one tackle for loss. Conklin has made a remarkable comeback since undergoing reconstructive knee surgery last year. Owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam. Their desire to build a dome is well intended, but an indoor game could never come close to matching the surreal setting of Thursday night, when snow swirled throughout the stadium and covered nearly all the yard lines and hash marks. “It was beautiful,” Winston said. WR Cedric Tillman is in the concussion protocol. He had two catches before taking a big hit on the final play of the third quarter. 9 — Consecutive home wins for the Browns in Thursday night games. Three of those have come against Pittsburgh. An extended break before visiting the Denver Broncos on Dec. 2.

Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) and Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe got into a heated yelling match during a hearing Thursday on the two assassination attempts on President-elect Donald Trump after the congressman implied that there was a security lapse at a September 11 memorial service this year. During the final hearing of the House’s bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempts, Fallon displayed a photo of President Joe Biden and Trump standing at New York City’s Ground Zero during the ceremony: Fallon said that Rowe, who also attended the event, should have been standing near the president for security purposes. “Who is usually at an event like this closest to the President of the United States?” he asked, gesturing at the photo. “Were you the special agent in charge [SAC] of the detail that day?” “Actually, let me address this. ... Congressman, what you’re not seeing is the SAC of detail falls out of the picture’s view,” Rowe shot back, just before the tension bubbled over. “That is the day where we remember more than 3,000 people that have died on 9/11. I actually responded to Ground Zero. I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center,” the acting director continued, before he was cut off by an enraged Fallon. “I’m not asking that, I’m asking you, if you were ... were you the special agent in charge?” the congressman shouted into his microphone. “I was there, Congressman! I was there to show respect for a Secret Service member that died on 9/11!” Rowe yelled back. The screaming continued as the committee chairman banged the gavel to regain order. “Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes!” Rowe shouted at Fallon. “I’m not,” the lawmaker shouted back. “You are, sir. You are out of line, congressman! Way out of line,” the security official argued. “Don’t try to bully me,” Fallon said, pointing his finger at Rowe, before accusing him of “endangering” the lives of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris because “you put those agents out of position.” “No, I didn’t sir, and you are out of line,” Rowe jabbed, before the floor was given to Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). According to an October interim report released by the House panel, the July assassination attempt against Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally occurred after “stunning security failures” that were entirely “preventable and should not have happened.”Candace Cameron Bure wears all red as she promotes her new film Home Sweet Christmas in NYCOno Enters into Drug Discovery Collaboration Agreement with Congruence Therapeutics to Generate Novel Small Molecule Correctors in the Oncology Area
