The Kansas City Chiefs' most important catch happened after Sunday's win against the Carolina Panthers, when defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton saved a young fan who fell from the stands. The moment Wharton caught the child was captured on video. Wharton told The Pat McAfee Show that it was a "natural reaction" to catch the child. The video shows Wharton, 26, lift the child back up into the stands. He said he hopes to connect with the child and invite him to another Chiefs game.

☆ Tershawn Wharton: Kansas City Chiefs DT catches child who fell headfirst from stands, invites him to next game
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-27 | by ( Jamie Barton | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —After quite possibly saving a child’s life on Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton has invited the young fan to a game. Wharton caught the child after he fell headfirst from the Bank of America Stadium stands following the Chiefs’ 30-27 win against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. The child loses his footing before falling headfirst from the stands, which are roughly 10 feet above the ground. It is not clear from the video whether a railing gave way, or whether the particular area that the young fan was leaning over was not covered by a fence. But I just had to kind of, like, push him into the stands a little bit to make sure he didn’t hit too hard,” he continued.

Week 12 saw plenty of heavy favorites face underdogs, but it didn’t prove as simple as many thought. Barkley rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in the Eagles’ Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers. While that still might be the case, it’s not been smooth sailing for the Texans through 12 weeks of the season. He has struggled behind a porous offensive line and that affected the running game on Sunday with Mixon only having 22 yards on 14 carries. The Seahawks currently lead the division having gotten the favorable tiebreaker thanks to their Week 12 home victory over the Cardinals.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been fined more than $14,000 for pantomiming what the NFL deemed a "violent gesture" during a game last week against the Buffalo Bills. The NFL classed the gesture as "unsportsmanlike conduct," and fined Mahomes $14,069. This isn't the first time Mahomes has been fined for unsportsmanlike conduct during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Last December, he was fined $50,000 for yelling at and criticizing officials during a game. Mahomes accepted the consequences of his actions and said he would learn from the decision, ESPN reported.

Forecasters are increasingly calling for a cold, soggy Thanksgiving week as west-to-east winter-pattern storms continued to roll across the continental landscape. The possibly wet, snowy and cold weather could meet what's anticipated to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel week to-date, the Transportation Security Administration said. A diagonal, low-pressure front accompanied by rain, snow and dipping temperatures was possible for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Thanksgiving, the federal Weather Prediction Center said. The National Weather Service office for Minneapolis said in a forecast discussion that ice-cold air was likely to arrive midweek. Santa Rosa, California, recorded nearly 12.5 inches of rain in three days, which the weather service office in Monterey said was a 1,000-year event.

The FBI reported that, in most of the incidents, the homes were equipped with alarm systems that were not activated. The FBI also reported that the homes were all unoccupied and, in most cases, no dogs were present." Earlier this week, the NFL told players to be mindful about publicly sharing any information about their whereabouts, homes and luxury items they might own. "The homes of professional athletes across multiple sports leagues have become increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups," the NFL memo said.

But much of Trump’s Day One goals will likely focus on stopping illegal immigration, the centerpiece of his candidacy.

Additionally, the DOJ said that Google should be prevented from entering into exclusionary agreements with third parties like Apple and Samsung.

The memo, issued Wednesday and obtained by CNN, warns that players across multiple sports leagues are being targeted. Perpetrators “appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes’ homes on game days,” and appear to be using public records, social media, media reports and surveillance to gather information on their targets, it says. That home belongs to Mahomes, the Chiefs’ quarterback, CNN affiliates KCTV and KSHB reported. Burglaries reported at NBA players’ homesReports of burglaries at the homes of NBA players have also recently emerged.
