Bowser scores 16, Furman takes down South Carolina State 68-64
Published 3:54 pm Tuesday, November 26, 2024 By Associated Press EAGAN — The game had suddenly gone sideways for the Minnesota Vikings, their 11-point lead on the Chicago Bears having evaporated in the closing seconds. They straightened it out in overtime, no sweat, because Sam Darnold simply hasn’t been fazed. Save for his occasional rash of turnovers, in games the Vikings still managed to win, Darnold proved again on Sunday in defeating the Bears that he’s directing a passing attack with the potential to be one of the NFL ‘s most potent. “I think he’s a mentally tough guy. I think he’s a physically tough guy. I think he’s confident in the guys around him, and I think he’s confident in our system,” coach Kevin O’Connell said after the 30-27 victory. “I think when he just continues to play quarterback at a high level, I think we’re a tough team.” After the defense forced the Bears to punt on the opening possession of overtime, Darnold led the Vikings on a 68-yard drive to set up the game-ending field goal while overcoming a 7-yard sack on the first play and two subsequent setbacks with a false start and a holding penalty. On third-and-10 from the 21, he hit Jordan Addison near the sideline for 13 yards. On first-and-15 from the 29, Darnold threaded a throw to Justin Jefferson for 20 yards after he’d muscled his way through Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson on a post route for the clutch catch after he’d been all but silenced all afternoon by a defense determined to constantly bracket him with double coverage. On second-and-11 from the 48, Darnold connected with a wide-open T.J. Hockenson underneath for 12 yards. Then two plays later off a second-and-8 play-action fake, he found Hockenson again on a deep corner route for 29 yards to put Parker Romo in prime position for the walk-off winner. “Just execute. It’s as simple as that. Just one play at a time,” said Darnold, who went 22 for 34 for 330 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. “I think I tell the guys that every single time in the huddle, but that’s my mindset every single time I’m out there on the field, especially in that situation.” Even when Jefferson continues to draw an extraordinary amount of coverage, the Vikings with Addison, Hockenson, Aaron Jones and the rest of their crew running O’Connell’s system have proven they have an offense that can go win a game when it’s required. That wouldn’t be possible without Darnold, whose career rebirth has helped spark the Vikings (9-2) become one of the league’s biggest surprises in what’s now its most difficult division. “He’s cool, calm, collected,” Hockenson said. “That’s what you want as the leader of the huddle.” What’s working The Vikings’ defense ranks ninth in the league on third downs, allowing a conversion rate of 34.5% after limiting the Bears to a 6-for-17 performance. The Vikings are tied for first on fourth downs with an allowance of 36.4% after the Bears went 2 for 3. Both conversions came in the fourth quarter during touchdown drives. The Vikings also rank fourth in the NFL in opponent points per drive (1.52). What needs help The Vikings had seven possessions that crossed the 20-yard line in Chicago, but only three of them yielded touchdowns. Their lone turnover was the type of game-altering giveaways they’ve struggled to eliminate this month, a fumble by Aaron Jones at the 1-yard line that ruined a promising first drive. The Vikings are tied for 20th in the league in red zone touchdown rate (53.9%) and are 17th in goal-to-go touchdowns (72%). Stock up Addison had eight catches for 162 yards, both career highs, and a touchdown on nine throws from Darnold. The second-year wide receiver has had a quieter season than his rookie year, but he stepped up in a significant way on an afternoon when Jefferson was as smothered by the opposing secondary as ever. Stock down TE Johnny Mundt had the onside kick glance off his shin as he charged toward the coverage, and the first kicking team recovery in the NFL this season helped the Bears extend the game. Mundt also had the false start on the overtime drive. His lone catch was a 7-yard gain when he was stopped short of the goal line, one play before the lost fumble. Mundt played 33 of 71 snaps and Hockenson took 48 snaps with Oliver out. Injuries The Vikings lost LT Cam Robinson (foot) and LB Ivan Pace (hamstring) to injuries in the first quarter against the Bears, and O’Connell said on Monday those players were still in “evaluation mode.” Oliver (ankle) will have an opportunity to return after being sidelined last week. Key number 101.7 — Darnold’s passer rating, which ranks ninth in the NFL. Darnold has posted a 100-plus passer rating in nine of 11 games this season. He had only 12 such performances in 56 career starts before joining the Vikings. Up next The Vikings have four of their next five games at home, starting with Arizona (6-5) this week, Atlanta (6-5) on Dec. 8 and a rematch with Chicago (4-7) in a Monday night game on Dec. 16.Artificial Intelligence: The Investment Opportunity You Can’t Ignore In the past two years, the surge of artificial intelligence, marked by innovations like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has dramatically boosted stock valuations. While many investors have focused on giants like Nvidia and Palantir Technologies, the real stars of tomorrow might not be who you expect. TSMC: The Unsung Hero in AI’s Supply Chain Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) stands at the forefront of the AI revolution, although it hasn’t captured as much limelight as Nvidia. TSMC is crucial to the ecosystem, serving as the production backbone for many tech leaders like Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet. As demand for AI components skyrockets, TSMC’s financials reflect this momentum. The company’s recent quarterly revenue rose by 39% compared to last year, hitting $23.5 billion, with robust operating margins at 47.6%. The firm’s control of about 90% of advanced chip manufacturing positions it perfectly to seize future opportunities in AI. Upstart: Reinventing Credit with AI On a different front, Upstart is redefining consumer lending with its AI-powered approach. Though its stock has dipped since its pandemic peak, it’s bouncing back, propelled by its innovative AI model that surpasses traditional credit scoring. Recent updates in their technology led to significant gains, allowing more consumers to secure loans. Despite current profitability challenges, the company’s growth potential remains strong, especially as interest rates stabilize, potentially elevating its market position. In conclusion, while the tech giants continue to lead headlines, companies like TSMC and Upstart represent intriguing opportunities for savvy investors in the evolving AI landscape. The Next Big Players in AI Investment: What You Need to Know Artificial intelligence has rapidly evolved, creating investment opportunities that extend beyond the well-known tech giants. While Nvidia and Palantir Technologies often dominate the discussion, other companies like TSMC and Upstart are emerging as pivotal players in the AI ecosystem due to their unique contributions and roles. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is a critical player behind the scenes of the AI revolution. As a leader in advanced chip manufacturing, TSMC commands about 90% of this segment, cementing its role as an essential supplier for tech behemoths like Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet. The company reported a substantial 39% increase in quarterly revenue, reaching $23.5 billion, driven by the soaring demand for AI components. With robust operating margins of 47.6%, TSMC is positioned to significantly benefit from the ongoing growth and expansion of AI technologies. TSMC continues to innovate and expand its production capabilities, which is crucial as AI applications become more sophisticated and widespread. The market reliance on TSMC for chip manufacturing highlights the importance of considering supply chain investments in the AI industry. Upstart, although lesser-known, is pioneering a transformative approach to consumer lending. By leveraging AI to enhance credit evaluation processes, Upstart is challenging the traditional credit scoring models. Despite experiencing a dip from its pandemic-era stock highs, the company’s shares are rebounding due to technological advancements that have enabled more consumers to access credit. As Upstart continues to improve its AI models, the potential for market expansion grows, especially if economic conditions, such as interest rates, stabilize. This technological edge signifies that Upstart could capture a larger slice of the lending market, making it a worthwhile consideration for investors interested in AI-driven financial services. Upstart demonstrates the potential of AI to bring significant improvements and disruptions to established industries like finance, offering insights into where future growth and opportunities may lie. The landscape of AI investment is broadening, with multiple sectors experiencing transformative changes powered by AI technologies. Companies like TSMC and Upstart exemplify new avenues for investors, focusing on the integral roles these companies play within their respective industries, indicating a shift away from traditional tech giants as the only viable investment opportunities. For investors, understanding these nuanced roles is crucial for making informed decisions. As AI continues to advance, diversifying investment portfolios to include lesser-known yet impactful firms could yield significant returns, aligning with trends towards increased innovation and technological integration across various sectors.

Bill Belichick offered UNC head coaching position, sources sayMIKEL ARTETA did not hold back in his praise for Myles Lewis-Skelly after his first Champions League start as Arsenal's latest graduate more than repaid the faith. Lewis-Skelly showed the confidence and understanding of a player with more than 100 appearances under his belt as the Gunners saw off Monaco 3-0 . Brave on the ball and playing a key role in Arsenal 's first goal - this was a night he can remember fondly. While Arteta continues to worry about just how many injuries are piling up in North London - at least he now has someone he can trust at left-back. With Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori sidelined and Jurrien Timber not ready to start, the 18-year-old was given the nod ahead of Kieran Tierney. Arteta hailed the youngster after his Champions League debut versus Monaco, saying: "A really proud moment. He’s one of our own. "It’s just a joy to watch it him, a privilege to be able to give the chance to somebody. He took the chance." Gunners fans have had glimpses in the past, especially when he was involved in a spat with Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland before he had even turned 18. But with his progress this season having been hindered by an infected toe, supporters have had to wait a while longer for a proper display. There was plenty to be excited about here, with even Bukayo Saka raving about his display, saying: "His future is very bright. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS "He just needs to keep the same head that he has got, his mentality is top and he is always asking questions, looking to learn. I'm so proud of him. "I just said to him, like I said to him before the game - this is his level. "He needs to have no doubts and play with confidence. “What he’s doing, we see it in training. I was pleased with him, he was a big part of the first goal.” Despite being the youngest player to start in the Champions League for Arsenal since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2011, Lewis-Skelly was not lacking in confidence. Whether that was on the ball, taking possession in tight spaces and always looking to play forwards, or telling other far more senior team-mates where they should be. Lewis-Skelly completed a very impressive 45 of 47 attempted passes, always looking to keep the tempo up and with team-mates not afraid to hand him the ball. Arteta asks his full-backs to move inside when the Gunners are in possession and, having come through the ranks as a midfielder, the teen looks more than comfortable doing so. He just needs to keep the same head that he has got, his mentality is top and he is always asking questions, looking to learn. I'm so proud of him. It was from this position he helped craft the opener. Having shifted inside alongside Declan Rice , Lewis-Skelly collected a pass from skipper Martin Odegaard. Under pressure from Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche, the No49 took a touch backwards to draw the Frenchman in before darting forwards, leaving him stranded. The England Under-19 settled himself and quickly set Gabriel Jesus in behind with a fine pass, from where the Brazilian squared to setup Saka. As the Gunners had to dig in after the break, Arteta sent on the more experienced Timber to shore things up. But Lewis-Skelly still departed to a standing ovation - surely not the last he will receive from Arsenal supporters. BUKAYO SAKA scored twice as Arsenal saw off Monaco 3-0 in the Champions League. Here is how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated the players' performances. DAVID RAYA – 7/10 Rarely troubled throughout the game, but did what he had to do. Commanding in the box, and pretty good distribution-wise, with only a few mistakes on that front. THOMAS PARTEY – 6 A mixed bag from Partey tonight, with a few nice passes creating dangerous attacks, and a few going wildly astray. Wasn't caused an awful lot of trouble by Monaco's left side. WILLIAM SALIBA – 7 Solid at the back as per usual. Always gives you a seven out of ten. JAKUB KIWIOR – 7 A capable deputy in Gabriel's absence, sharp on the ball and dependable off of it. Equally as good as Saliba next to him. MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 9 Playing as a left-back, Lewis-Skelly became the latest Hale End academy graduate to make his full Champions League debut vs Monaco. A sensational bit of play to beat Monaco's press allowed him to slot an inch-perfect ball into Jesus who set up Saka for Arsenal's opener. Given a standing ovation by the home support when he left the pitch after 64 minutes. DECLAN RICE – 7 Broke up play nicely as he always does, often sliding in to shut down Monaco attacks. Not as threatening as we have seen him be previously going forward, but that wasn't his job this evening with Merino alongside him. MIKEL MERINO – 4 I wasn't moved. Arsenal fans might be left slightly disappointed by the Odegaard - Merino - Rice midfield they were excited about. Looked heavy and slow, and got booked. MARTIN ODEGAARD – 5 Not his usual elegant self in midfield for Arsenal. Unfortunately let down by his end product tonight, as he missed two huge chances to double their lead either side of half-time. GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 4 A threat down the left side in the first half, he should've had an assist were it not for Arsenal's number nine. While he showed some bright sparks, his end product in general was not good enough. BUKAYO SAKA – 8 In the right place at the right time as he so often is to open the scoring after a great ball across the box by Jesus. Reacted quickly to a goalkeeper mistake and finished into the far corner for what was his seventh home Champions League goal in seven home Champions League games - clinical. GABRIEL JESUS – 5 Could've had a first-half brace, but for his lack of composure, as he missed TWO huge 1v1 chances early on in the tie. What he lacked in finishing however, he made up for with a quality assist to set up Saka for the opening goal. SUBS: LEANDRO TROSSARD (GABRIEL MARTINELLI, 64) – 5 Much the same story as the man whom he replaced. JORGINHO (DECLAN RICE, 64) – 6 A calming presence in the Arsenal midfield, helped to settle the ball when he got on it. JURRIEN TIMBER (MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY, 64) – 6 Replaced the best player on the pitch and Arsenal's level didn't drop much. KAI HAVERTZ (GABRIEL JESUS, 73) – 8 Put the goalkeeper under plenty of pressure to force the mistake for Saka's second. Got the faintest of nicks for the Gunners’ third. ETHAN NWANERI (MARTIN ODEGAARD, 79) – 5 Another good few minutes in the tank for the Arsenal starlet with a very bright future. Some good touches to get the home fans excited.
India Sends 60 Tonnes Of Medical Aid To Disaster-Hit JamaicaTaylor Swift ‘s weekend out and about in New York City continued Saturday night (Dec. 28). She was photographed with Travis Kelce in the Meatpacking District, where the two were reportedly seen arriving at private supper club Chez Margaux. The foundation of the singer-songwriter’s outfit was a mod Fleur du Mal mini dress ( Long Sleeve Flared Corset Dress , $495). The flattering stretch jacquard mini features a mock neck, corset seaming and boning, and a flare skirt. Swift topped the dress with a long, black coat by Simkhai that combines a classic, tailored silhouette with festive sparkle, thanks to its embellished design ( Gianni Coat , $995). Strappy Louboutin sandals with a substantial heel and carefully chosen jewelry, including a pair of De Beers Arpeggia One Line Earrings, rounded out what looked to be a date-night ensemble. Swift and Kelce’s Saturday night out followed a Friday dinner with the pop star’s longtime friend and producer Jack Antonoff and his wife, Margaret Qualley. Both couples were photographed outside BondST , a NoHo restaurant with Japanese-inspired cuisine. Swift’s post-holiday social outings in New York come after she wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour, which grossed $2 billion , earlier this month in Vancouver — and after spending some time in Kansas City, Mo., where she visited patients at Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital and attended the Chiefs-Texans game at Arrowhead Stadium. Swift’s December also brought 10 Billboard Music Awards , including Top Artist. She’s the most celebrated artist in the history of the BBMAs, having collected a total of 49 wins so far.
