▼ + stars: | 2024-12-10 | by ( Kevin Dotson | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

With both teams’ hopes of making the playoffs all but evaporated, the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals played like a couple teams with nothing left to lose. In the end, it was a Dallas blocked punt that actually doomed the Cowboys, who lost the game 27-20 in stunning fashion at home. The Cowboys fans at AT&T Stadium erupted as Nick Vigil blocked the Bengals’ punt, but delight turned to despair when the Cowboys’ Amani Oruwariye mishandled the blocked ball. Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown jumped into the Salvation Army kettle after a touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys. York, who was just signed by Cincinnati on Wednesday, got to make his Bengals’ debut in front of his girlfriend, Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Zoë Dale.

Merriam-Webster’s word of the year is one that the dictionary suggests unifies both sides of the aisle. The word was frequently used by the media this year, Merriam-Webster noted, and was repeated on networks like MSNBC and Fox News — particularly when describing politics and the presidential election. Several other terms associated with politics — including “democracy” — also made the dictionary’s words of the year list. But this year, Merriam-Webster said the word saw a “rise in lookups” due to “multiple reasons relating to the U.S. election,” including the health of both President Joe Biden and Trump. Meanwhile, Collins Dictionary named “Brat” word of the year, after the Charli XCX album became part of the cultural zeitgeist over the summer.

Optimism about household finances hit a multiyear high following Donald Trump's presidential election victory in November, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday.

The median expectation for growth in government debt was at 6.2%, down 2.3 percentage points from October and the lowest level since February 2020.
