Taysom Hill's touchdowns, Paulson Adebo's interceptions led Saints over Bears

Taysom Hill caught a touchdown pass and threw for another, Paulson Adebo intercepted two passes and also forced a fumble that he recovered, and the New Orleans Saints beat the Chicago Bears 24-17 on Sunday.

The Saints (5-4) forced five turnovers, intercepting rookie QB Tyson Bagent three times and recovering two fumbles. Those plays tipped the balance of a game in which the undrafted Bagent and the Bears (2-7) often had the Saints’ defense off balance, outgaining New Orleans 368-301 in total yards and possessing the ball for just more than half the game.

The final turnover — a fumble caused by Demario Davis’ sack and recovered by fellow linebacker Pete Werner — all but sealed it with 2:05 left. New Orleans needed only one first down — and got it — to run out the clock.

Bagent passed for two touchdowns to tight end Cole Kmet. He finished with 220 yards passing and 70 yards rushing to keep Chicago within one score the whole way despite the Bears being minus-5 in turnovers.

The Saints had a chance to take a 10-point lead on rookie kicker Blake Grupe’s 47-yard field goal attempt with 2:30 left, but the ball hit the left upright.

That gave the Bears the ball with a chance to drive for a late tying score — until Davis’ pivotal sack and strip.

The dynamic Hill’s receiving TD made him the first NFL player since Hall of Famer Frank Gifford, who retired after the 1964 season, to score 10 or more times each as a passer (11), runner (26) and receiver (10).

Derek Carr passed for 211 yards and two touchdowns for the Saints, the first scoring pass going to Chris Olave and the second to Hill.

Hill hit tight end Juwan Johnson in the back of the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

The Saints didn’t take their first lead until DJ Moore’s fumble — caused and recovered by Adebo — moments after what would have been a first-down catch to the Chicago 40 in the third quarter. That set up Grupe’s 55-yard field goal to put New Orleans up 17-14.

Chicago drove 13 plays to the Saints’ 13-yard line before settling for Cairo Santos’ field goal to tie it at 17.

Seeking their first victory in the Superdome since 1991, the Bears started fast. Bagent found Kmet for an 18-yarder to cap a nine-play, 75-yard opening drive. It was the fourth straight game in which New Orleans’ defense gave up a first-quarter TD, with two coming on their opponent’s opening drive.

But Adebo’s first interception near midfield set up a tying TD on Carr’s 8-yard pass to Olave.

Bagent’s second TD pass to Kmet, from 9 yards out, briefly put the Bears back in front before Carr drove New Orleans right back down the field for a 2-yard scoring pass to Hill for the utility player’s fourth TD in his past three games.

Santos, who kicked for Tulane when the Green Wave played home games in the Superdome, hit the upright from 40 yards out in the final minute of the half. His first miss this season kept the score tied at halftime.

INJURIES

Bears FB Khari Blasingame left the game to be checked for a concussion.

Surprising ways stress can affect your whole body

Stress, often considered a mental or emotional response, can have surprising and far-reaching effects on the entire body. 

While it’s natural to associate stress with psychological strain, it’s important to recognize its physical repercussions. 

In response to stress, our body undergoes changes in hormone and chemical secretions. Most of these secretions are produced by the adrenal gland, a small organ positioned atop the kidneys. 

The hormones released from this gland serve multiple functions, including initiating the “fight-or-flight” response, regulating metabolic processes such as blood sugar levels, managing the balance of salt and water, and facilitating pregnancy.

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY MAY IMPACT YOUNG ADULTS TWICE AS MUCH AS TEENS, HARVARD SURVEY FINDS

While these hormones can be life-saving in moderation, their prolonged presence can lead to significant detrimental effects.

Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, primarily functions to inhibit processes that might obstruct the body’s “fight-or-flight” response. To be more specific, it alters the way the immune system reacts and obstructs the proper functioning of the digestive, reproductive, and growth-related systems.

Stress is a complex foe that can have a negative impact on multiple parts of your health. It can trigger a spectrum of digestive issues, ranging from stomach discomfort and indigestion to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 

Stress can also interfere with your eating patterns, episodes of overeating or undereating, which can contribute to fluctuations in body weight.

Beyond its digestive implications, stress can manifest in your skin, exacerbating conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. Additionally, it can trigger allergic reactions, often leading to discomforting skin issues like hives.

The impact of chronic stress extends even further, encompassing your cardiovascular health. It’s associated with an elevated risk of heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Stress hormones, particularly cortisol, have the capacity to elevate blood pressure and promote inflammation within blood vessels.

For women, stress initiates a reduction in the production of estrogen and progesterone while elevating cortisol levels. This particular blend frequently leads to erratic and uncomfortable menstrual cycles and can have adverse effects on both emotional well-being and libido.

In the case of men, stress prompts a decline in testosterone levels and an upsurge in cortisol, which subsequently translates to feelings of fatigue and a notable decrease in sexual desire.

When it comes to lifestyle interventions, physical activity is a top recommendation. 

Exercise stands out as the most effective way to mitigate stress and lower cortisol levels.

Avoid responding to non-urgent emails and phone calls.

Consider taking breaks or practicing relaxation techniques to manage stress effectively. 

Adopting a balanced, nutritious diet and steering clear of smoking, alcohol consumption or recreational drug use are fundamental steps to reduce stress.

Nonetheless, it’s crucial to keep in mind that if you feel that stress is having a substantial impact on your health and overall quality of life, it’s wise to seek guidance from a health care professional. 

Drawing on your medical history and unique situation, a health care expert can provide personalized advice and solutions.

Practicing stress management techniques such as meditation and exercise, and seeking support from professionals, can help reduce these surprising and often detrimental effects on the body.

Tlaib accuses Biden of supporting 'genocide' of Palestinians, warns: 'We will remember in 2024'

Social media users recoiled after “Squad” member and pro-Palestinian Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., released a video demanding President Biden support a cease-fire to stop “the genocide of the Palestinian people” or face electoral consequences in 2024.

Tlaib’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, condemned Biden’s declaration that the U.S. stands with Israel and opposes a cease-fire, telling him, “the majority of the American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow.”

The post also included a video of scenes from Gaza and protests in the U.S., interspersed with clips from Biden, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The scenes included protest chants from Ohio saying, “No peace on stolen land!” Illinois “Free! Free! Palestine!” and Michigan “From the river to the sea.” 

The video ended with Tlaib saying to the camera, “We will remember in 2024,” before the words “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people,” appeared on the screen along with a demand for him to immediately support a cease-fire “or don’t count on us in 2024.” 

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA FOUNDING MEMBER LEAVES OVER ITS ‘MORALLY BANKRUPT’ RESPONSE TO HAMAS ATTACK

A multitude of X users found Tlaib’s post “disturbing.” Many accused the U.S. lawmaker of antisemitism, others disputed her claim that most American’s don’t want to back Biden’s support for Israel, and some demanded she resign.

The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller shared a screenshot of the video’s “From the river to the sea!” shot and asked, “Hi congresswoman, hey kind of a newb to all of this. What does this mean exactly? Thanks for any clarity you can provide.”

Former counterterrorism expert Nathan Sales told Fox News that the Palestinian chant represents a call for the “extermination of the Jewish state.” 

Digital strategist Greg Price commented on the inclusion of “From the river to the sea,” stating, “It appears that Rashida Tlaib is endorsing the genocide of Israel while accusing Biden of supporting genocide.”

Former comms person for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Steve Guest wrote, “In case you were wondering just how antisemitic Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib is, look no further than this. Not only did she make a video supporting the vile ‘from the river to the sea’ chant, she accused Joe Biden of supporting genocide.”

“She’s actually calling for the annihilation of Israel and genocide for me and my family, as well as all other Jews here. So yes, we will remember in 2024,” Jewish columnist Nadav Eyal explained.

“She’s inching towards telling us how she really feels. She’s still holding back. She wishes she were in southern Israel on October 7, but can’t bring herself to say it out loud,” Cornell Law professor William A. Jacobson alleged.

Journalist Jim Treacher expressed hope that Tlaib would be out of Congress soon. He stated, “Liar. I can’t wait till you go back to the private sector to hate Jews.”

Townhall.com editor Rebecca Downs ripped Tlaib, posting, “This disturbing pro-Hamas ad appeared almost a week ago to another account, and I covered it not long after for @townhallcom. We must make something very clear here. The calls of ‘from the river to the sea’ in MI, where Tlaib’s district is, is a call for genocide.”

Israeli rapid response X account “Israel War Room” shared Tlaib’s post and said, “In an ad attacking @POTUS, @RashidaTlaib amplifies calls for genocide against Israeli Jews.”

The White House and Biden re-election campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Travis Kelce asked if he's 'in love' with Taylor Swift, addresses relationship 'status'

Travis Kelce still isn’t confirming whether he’s dating Taylor Swift.

The pair has been spotted holding hands, and, after a recent game, Swift was photographed kissing Kelce on the cheek.

It is all but official, and because nothing has been formally announced, a reporter asked Kelce what their “latest status” was.

Kelce was characteristically vague on the subject.

“The latest status is I got to see her last week,” he said during a press conference in Germany Friday.

But the reporter bumped it up a notch, asking the Kansas City Chiefs tight end if he was “in love.”

No bite.

“I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal,” he said.

It’s also become apparent that when Swift is at a Chiefs game, Kelce makes fantasy owners very happy — or upset if you’re going against him.

In the three games Kelce has played that Swift has missed, the tight end has just 151 receiving yards, about 50 a game. In the four she’s attended, he’s averaging 108 yards per game. The last two games Swift attended, she saw Kelce catch 21 passes for 303 yards and a touchdown.

It’s a trend that’s become noticeable, especially in the gambling world. That’s why Kelce keeps silent on whether his rumored girlfriend will be attending games.

“When I mention or everybody knows that she’s at the game, the Vegas, the over/under on my catches kind of goes up and down, the spread goes up and down. I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff, so I’m just going to keep it to myself,” he said.

The Chiefs are in Germany this weekend to face the Miami Dolphins. It’s unlikely Swift will be in attendance since she will go international with her Eras Tour in Argentina Nov. 9.

It will be the second NFL game played in Germany.
