The New York Jets celebrated Nathaniel Hackett's return to Denver by rallying past the Broncos 31-21 on Sunday behind Breece Hall's 72-yard touchdown run and Bryce Hall's 39-yard game-sealing scoop-and-score off Russell Wilson's fumble in the final minute. That gave Hackett, the Jets' offensive coordinator who was fired after going 4-11 as Denver's head coach last season, a measure of satisfaction. Then, Wilson led the Broncos to a touchdown and 2-point conversion to make it 24-21 late in the fourth quarter. Fans streamed to the exits after that turnover and it was eerily mostly empty while Jets players hugged Hackett on the sideline. Breece Hall's long TD run up the middle came on the Jets' second snap of the second half and put them ahead for good at 15-13.

CNN —On July 11, 2014, I was running with a bull in Pamplona, Spain. The story is a fascinating adventure into the Fiesta de San Fermín, also known as The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. By the time I finished reading that novel, I decided I would go to Spain and run with the bulls and I would become a writer. So I began to run with Lecuona, David Rodríguez, Aitor Arístegui and others leading bulls up the streets. Participants run ahead of bulls during the "encierro" (bull-run) of the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, northern Spain, on July 14, 2023.

REUTERS/Florence Lo/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSHANGHAI, Oct 7 (Reuters) - China's inbound and outbound trips surged during the eight-day Golden Week holiday this year, official data showed on Saturday, recovering to 85% of their pre-pandemic level but lower than an earlier government estimate. That was equivalent to 85.1% of the number of average trips made in the same period in 2019, and nearly quadruple the 2022 average, the administration said. It had earlier said it expected an average of 1.58 million daily inbound and outbound passenger trips during the holiday. This compared with 830.8 yuan per trip in 2019 when the holiday was seven days long, and 680.6 yuan last year. Travellers made 826 million trips within mainland China, up 71.3% from a year ago and 4.1% higher than in 2019, according to data released by the official Xinhua news agency.

Shares in Asia were mostly lower on Monday, with Tokyo the only major regional market to advance, after Wall Street wheezed to more losses with its worst week in six months. Worries over China’s property sector, a U.S. government shutdown and the continued strike by American autoworkers were weighing on investor sentiment. The retreat has deepened with Wall Street’s growing understanding that interest rates likely won’t come down much anytime soon. Pressure has built on Wall Street as yields in the bond market climbed to their highest levels in more than a decade. The Nasdaq composite, which is full of tech and other high-growth stocks, slumped 3.6% for its worst week since March.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Jalen Milroe and Alabama's offense busted out of the doldrums in the second half and the 13th-ranked Crimson Tide's defense was strong throughout in a 24-10 victory over No. The result was Alabama's eighth straight win over Ole Miss, but not the kind of performance that assuaged concerns about the shaky offensive play. Milroe completed 17 of 21 passes for 225 yards with a touchdown and an interception. McCellan ran 14 times for 94 yards to outgain Ole Miss star Quinshon Judkins (13 carries for 56 yards.) REBELS REINFORCEMENTSOle Miss got reinforcements from two offensive transfers to help make up for the absence of injured receiver Tre Harris (knee).

Manufacturing and the housing industry have felt the sting of higher interest rates in particular and have struggled more than the broad job market.
