Cam Little of the Jacksonville Jaguars has broken an NFL record by kicking a 68-yard field goal. Little converted the kick at the end of the first half against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Justin Tucker had the previous record, a 66-yarder in 2021 that gave the Baltimore Ravens a 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions. While Tucker’s kick hit the crossbar, Little’s boot had plenty of room as it sailed through the uprights. Little came into the game having missed three of his last four kicks, including an extra-point attempt. But the Jaguars’ coaches insisted they had faith in the second-year pro, who hit a 70-yarder in the preseason.

Hurricane Melissa has devastated Jamaica, causing severe damage to fishing and farming communities. Prince Davis, a fisherman, discovered his boat and home were destroyed while he was in Nicaragua. In Amity, farmer Denver Thorpe lost 15 acres of mango trees. The hurricane is blamed for at least 28 deaths in Jamaica and has impacted tens of thousands of fishers and farmers. Experts say the storm has severely affected food production, which is vital for local livelihoods. Relief efforts are underway, but recovery is expected to be slow, with many worried about the future.

Rico Dowdle rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns, and his big run in the final minute set up Ryan Fitzgerald’s last-second 49-yard field goal as the Carolina Panthers beat Green Bay 16-13. The Packers' three-game winning streak ended, and they lost star tight end Tucker Kraft to a knee injury in the third quarter. Dowdle had been splitting time with Chuba Hubbard, but Panthers coach Dave Canales said Dowdle would get the bulk of the carries, and the move paid off. He made one big mistake, getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after a touchdown. But his 19-yard run got the Panthers in range for the winning kick.

Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell announced Sunday that she has dismissed senior guard Ruby Whitehorn from the eighth-ranked Lady Vols, saying it was her responsibility to protect the program’s high standards. Whitehorn had been allowed back on the team following a suspension over an August arrest. She pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to two misdemeanors of aggravated trespassing and aggravated burglary in exchange for judicial diversion after the Aug. 8 altercation. Campus police reportedly stopped Whitehorn early on Thursday and charged her with a misdemeanor after finding her in possession of marijuana. The Lady Vols open the season Tuesday night at No. 9 N.C. State.

J.J. McCarthy threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score in his return from an ankle injury, leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions. McCarthy sealed the victory by throwing a 16-yard pass to Jalen Nailor on third-and-5 from the Minnesota 28, a play that allowed Minnesota to run out the clock.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says that new tests of the U.S. nuclear weapons system ordered up by President Donald Trump will not include nuclear explosions. Wright in a Fox News interview on Sunday clarified the Trump administration’s plans. Trump in a social media post last week said that he had “instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.” Trump in the days since making that pronouncement had been coy when asked by reporters about whether he was ordering the resumption of explosive testing of nuclear weapons or calling for the testing of U.S. systems that could deliver a nuclear weapon.

Israel says the remains of three hostages have been handed over from Gaza and will be examined by forensic experts as a month-old ceasefire holds. A Hamas statement earlier said the remains were found Sunday in a tunnel in southern Gaza. Before Sunday, Palestinian militants had released the remains of 17 hostages, with 11 remaining in Gaza, since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10. Militants have released one or two bodies every few days. Israel has urged faster progress, and in certain cases it has said the remains aren’t of any hostage. Hamas says the work is complicated by widespread devastation.

Long lines have formed at food pantries across the U.S. as federal food benefits were cut off due to the government shutdown. People are turning to free meals and groceries to replace their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits. The Department of Agriculture planned to withhold payments, but two federal judges ordered the administration to continue them. However, it's unclear when benefits will resume, causing fear and confusion. Food pantries are seeing increased demand, with many people arriving early to secure essentials. The delay highlights financial vulnerabilities and the widespread need for assistance.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been carted into the locker room after suffering a knee injury in the third quarter against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Kraft was helped to the sideline before going to the injury tent and then to the cart. Kraft entered this game with 30 catches for 469 yards and six touchdowns.
