EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. has been placed on injured reserve after hurting his hamstring Sunday in a 30-27 overtime victory over the Chicago Bears. The move announced Tuesday means that Pace must miss at least the Vikings next four games. The Vikings also activated outside linebacker Gabriel Murphy from injured reserve and signed linebacker Jamin Davis off the Green Bay Packers practice squad.

A victory over the Raiders puts the Broncos that much closer to an unexpected playoff berth, playing with a rookie quarterback and just a year after they went 8-9. The Broncos are 6-5 and coming off a 38-6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons , and would be in the playoff field if the season ended entering Week 12. Not bad for a team given a win total of 5 1/2 games at BetMGM Sportsbook. “Everyone understands the significance of where we are at this point in the season,” Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said. The situation is quite different for the Raiders. They are 2-8, on a six-game losing streak and decimated by injuries. Las Vegas could enter this game without its top two running backs and a reshuffled line on offense, and defensively, the Raiders could have two linemen, three cornerbacks and a safety out of action. “Just been having some bad breaks, but nobody feels sorry for us,” Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said. "Nobody feels sorry for me. You’ve got to roll out there with 11 players, and that’s what we’re going to do come Sunday.” The Raiders are badly in a need of a franchise quarterback and are in a logjam for the top pick in next year's NFL draft. Denver showed with this year's draft how valuable landing such a QB can be to an organization. Bo Nix was selected 12th — one spot ahead of the Raiders — and he is pushing for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was this week's top AFC player and rookie after completing 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in the rout of the Falcons. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach (Sean Payton) and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field and what we can execute," Nix said. "Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle.” Raiders tight end Brock Bowers also could have a say in who wins the season's top offensive rookie award. He is second in the NFL with 70 catches and his 706 yards receiving is 10th among all receivers. His numbers from a historical perspective are even more impressive. Bowers, the 13th pick in this year's draft , is fourth all time among all tight ends in catches through the first 11 weeks and he and Jeremy Shockey in 2002 are the only rookies at that position to have more than one game with at least 10 receptions. “This week's a brand new week,” Bowers said. “I've always got something to prove.” Payton still isn't entirely comfortable splitting carries between running backs Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime. Asked how he determines the right balance in his rotation, Payton said, “That's the $6 million question. It’s difficult. We know kind of what we have with those three players. I think it’s always hard to feed three. "I'm used to — and it’s easy — to feed two. So we kind of do that a little bit. I thought Javonte had some really good runs (last week). Certainly the game ends and we’re like, ‘Gosh, we have to get Jaleel more touches.’ So it’s a tough, but a good problem to have.” With injuries to running backs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps), 10-year veteran Ameer Abdullah could get the start for the Raiders this weekend. He has just 17 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown this season and started just one game his previous six seasons. “I see myself as a starter,” Abdullah said. “I think every guy in the room does. I consider myself the best back on this team just like every back does. This is my opportunity to go out there and put my best foot forward.” Patrick Surtain II had a pair of interceptions, including one he returned for 100 yards and a touchdown, in the team's first meeting this season and that fueled the Broncos' 34-18 win in Denver . Both of the passes were intended for Bowers, who caught a 57-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Surtain isn't expecting the Raiders to avoid him Sunday, however. “You don't want to go into a game thinking they're not gonna throw it your way,” Surtain said, “because it's the pros at the end of the day, everybody's ready, everybody's capable.” AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Englewood, Colorado, contributed to this report.

In the wake of the presidential election and as the scope of Republicans’ success at the ballot box comes to the fore , some political observers are drawing a predictable conclusion: A rightward shift among the electorate must mean that voters agree with the GOP on the major issues of the day. But according to a new study from Navigator Research , a majority of 2024 voters said they agreed with more progressive positions on the economy and health care, not conservative ones. At a superficial level, it’s easy to see why some pundits are touting an imaginary shift to the right. Take Mark Penn, a former adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, who made the bold claim that the results of the election meant that “America is a center right country at heart.” Take a closer look at Navigator’s polling (conducted after the election) though, and you’ll see the ideological divides aren’t that neat. Let’s start with health care. More than seven in 10 voters said that they agree more with the phrase, “to lower health care costs, the government should do more to lower drug costs for Americans and hold big drug and insurance companies accountable for price gouging consumers” than they do a conservative statement on the matter, such as “the government should be less involved, giving Americans more choices in the coverage they get and cutting regulations that slow innovation in creating new medicines and cures.” (The latter take got 29% support compared with the former statement’s 71% support.) The study found narrower majorities for other policies championed by progressives, like investing in cleaner energy production; cutting taxes for the middle class; and cracking down on corporate investors who are buying up land and making housing less affordable. So how did Donald Trump and other Republicans prevail nationwide if Democrats have relatively likeable candidates and the party’s policies are more popular? It’s possible, of course, that while Democratic policies are well-received, the party’s messaging just didn’t connect. FiveThirtyEight wrote about this phenomenon and detailed how, for years now, Democrats haven’t quite figured out a way to convince voters that Republicans are flat-out lying when they frame messages around culture-war issues and the economy. One infuriating example: The economy under President Joe Biden was remarkably strong . But voters, burdened by the high cost of groceries, found an enemy in the sitting president after Trump blamed Biden and exaggerated that food costs “40%, 50%, 60% more than it did just a few years ago.” Indeed, when it comes to the issues most important to voters going into Election Day (inflation and the cost of living, immigration and the border, and jobs and the economy), voters said that they trusted Trump over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. But if messaging is partly to blame for Democrats’ losses in 2024, that leaves an opening for the party in 2026, when it could take back the Senate —especially if there’s a backlash to Trump’s first two years in office. The X factor, of course, is whether Democrats will take heed of these results. Moving forward, the party might have to fight fire with fire and devote significant resources to pushing out the facts about their policies and their views on issues that voters care about. That includes some of the more progressive ideas that have long been taboo for some members of the party’s establishment, like cracking down on corporations that are price gouging (while running for president, Harris adopted a Wall Street-friendly tone ). One data point that could assuage any Democratic Party skeptics’ concerns: Even red state voters showed in November that they support progressive ideas over conservative ones. Kentucky and Nebraska voters favored Trump—but they also defeated ballot measures that aimed to expand school voucher programs in both states. And among the 10 states where voters decided on abortion-related measures—either to expand protections or lift existing bans on the procedure—the abortion-rights initiatives passed in seven. Meanwhile, in ruby-red Missouri, voters also approved a measure to raise the minimum wage and require employers to provide paid sick leave . The upshot: Data and polling suggest that most voters back a progressive vision for how the nation should be governed, despite backing a candidate who offered something completely different. That means there’s room for Democrats to have a larger conservation about why that happened and how they can more loudly champion the progressive policies voters say they want in place. The good news for progressives, at least, is that studies like the one conducted by Navigator show there is still a desire for their ideas to take hold. It also means that Penn was probably wrong. A truly center-right nation wouldn’t have backed so many progressive ballot measures—and it wouldn’t have majorities of voters who want to end tax breaks for billionaires and reduce the nation’s reliance on Big Oil companies.

Bombers GM Walters sees no need to blow up roster despite another Grey Cup lossA grand opening was hosted on November 22 for the new permanent location of the Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre (MWEYFRC) – a safe, welcoming space offering free programming and supports to families with children under the age of six. Representatives from the various partners involved in the creation and operation of the MWEYFRC gathered at 7 Centennial Drive North in Martensville for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. In truth, the centre has already been offering programming in the area since spring, but the staff lacked a permanent space; as such, they operated out of the Warman High School and ran programs in different city parks. The permanent location, a former Credit Union in close proximity to local parks, was only secured this fall, and the public has been able to access the centre’s services since early October. “In the short amount of time that we’ve been in our permanent location, we’ve seen an infinite amount of smiles and joy when families come to the centre, whether it’s for drop-in play or our most popular program, our Sip n’ Chat,” said centre co-ordinator Emily Martens. The YMCA of Saskatoon is the main operating partner of the centre, in collaboration with Prairie Spirit School Division. DeAnn Mercier, CEO of the Saskatoon YMCA, said they also operate two other Early Years Family Resource Centres in the city: one location in Fairhaven that has been open since 2020, and another in Brighton that opened in 2024. “These locations have since welcomed over 31,000 visiting families through their doors, and we know the centre in Martensville will be just as successful,” said Mercier. While it is not a daycare, Mercier summarized the centre’s purpose as being “a space to play with your child, meet people and get advice from early childhood professionals, all for free.” The services provided are guided by four program pillars of early learning, parent education, family wellness and community information and referrals. Mercier noted the value of just being able to hear from other people that what you are going through as a new parent is normal, and it’s OK for your child to make a mess. “Sometimes you just need to hear someone else say that, and you need a third space where you can get out of your house with your kids,” she said. Funding for the MWEYFRC is provided through the provincial Ministry of Education’s Early Years Branch. Warman MLA Terry Jenson, who brought greetings on behalf of Education Minister Everett Hindley, said the provincial government has opened a total of 21 such centres in 19 communities, including Saskatoon and Regina, Prince Albert, Estevan and the Battlefords. “The work done here ... and at all the Saskatchewan Early Years Family Resource Centres are making tremendous impacts on families throughout the province,” he said. “I’m a parent, so I can relate. We didn’t have a facility like this when my kids were young. So it’s going to be a very, very beneficial space.” As a lifelong educator, a parent and an uncle, Martensville Mayor Kent Muench indicated he was aware of how vital this type of support is for young children, not just in terms of their graduation rates from school but also in terms of their future success. He added that in the communities of Martensville and Warman, “we really value a place that is safe and provides opportunities for families.” Warman Mayor Gary Philipchuk also commented that as a teacher and former vice principal at Warman High School, he understood and personally witnessed the value of a solid early learning foundation and providing access to resources to families with young children. He said he wished his parents had access to a centre like this when he had been younger. “Being a parent and not having relatives close by can be scary, and something that we need support with. The Early Years Centre brings together parents who might be in similar situations, and the benefits of having them are immeasurable,” he said. Neda Wilson of the Prairie Spirit School Division, who co-chairs the management committee that oversees the centre, said the division serves as the dedicated accountability partner, helping to oversee the centre’s development. This includes engaging in community planning, advising on the budget and helping shape the strategic direction of the centre, as well as managing service agreements and securing funding when needed. All of this is “critical” to ensuring the centre’s sustainability and impact, she added. Wilson said the management committee includes not just the division and the cities of Martensville and Warman, but also agencies like Regional Kids First, the Ministry of Social Services and the Saskatchewan Health Authority. “This centre is not just a building. It’s a symbol of our shared commitment to children and families, fostering a brighter future for our communities,” Wilson said. The grand opening ceremony was concluded by Martens sharing a story about the impact of the centre: the story of a family who had brought their child to one of their painting programs, which was the child’s first experience with “messy play.” She said, “The parent was filled with joy as they saw their child experimenting with paint, and how focused he had become.” The next day, the family had bought paint for the child, and it had a noticeable effect on his behaviour and engagement with activities. “This is just one of many positive stories we receive from families and the benefits they take with them when they leave the centre,” Martens said.
