KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 306 yards and a touchdown, Harrison Butker kicked four field goals, and the Kansas City Chiefs held off the Denver Broncos 19-8 on Thursday night for their 16th straight win over their longtime AFC West rivals.Travis Kelce had nine catches for 124 yards for Kansas City with Taylor Swift again cheering him on from an Arrowhead Stadium suite. But the Chiefs (5-1) leaned more heavily on their defense to shut down erratic Russell Wilson and the Broncos (1-5). Remembering Broncos superfan and ‘Mile High Monster’ Kerry Green Wilson was held to 95 yards passing with a touchdown and a pair of interceptions, and woebegone Denver finished with just 197 yards of total offense.Still, the Chiefs' inability to turn red-zone trips into touchdowns nearly cost them.Butker's first three field goals helped them to a 16-0 lead, but Wilson's touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton — ruled incomplete but overturned upon review — with about six minutes remain...

This could signal an impending ground offensive, though the Israeli military has not yet confirmed such an appeal. On Thursday it said that while it was preparing, a decision has not yet been made.

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Trees. We love them, we buy them, we plant them. And someday, we hope they love us back with a little shade.But not if they die before their time, which is why you have a little chore to do this weekend: Water your trees. View the latest Weather Alerts in Denver and across Colorado on FOX31 "We think that in winter, trees are asleep — they drop their leaves, they don’t need any water. They all need a really good drink before all this happens," said Colette Haskell, a horticulturist at Nick’s Garden Center.Haskell said now is the time to give your trees a big drink of water before they go dormant."You can lay the hose there on a slow, medium drip, and then move it around every 10 minutes underneath the tree if you don’t have a deep root feeder," Haskell said. A big, satisfying quenching of your trees’ thirst is the best way to keep them around.Tree care: What not to do before a freezeBut there are also things you will want to avoid doing.

Jeremy Corbyn urges left-wing Labour MPs to ‘speak up’

LONDON — Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has urged left-wing Labour MPs to “speak up” on issues of conscience, even if they risk being kicked out of the party.The Islington North MP, who had the party whip suspended in 2020 for his response to a report into antisemitism, told former colleagues that “staying silent is never an option.” “Speak up,” Corbyn advised. “Speak out. Life is full of opportunities, and full of risks — and full of surprises.”Corbyn was speaking on a new episode of POLITICO’s Westminster Insider podcast which explores the future of the Labour left under the centrist leadership of Keir Starmer. Left-wing Labour MPs Clive Lewis and Ian Lavery, both of whom served in Corbyn’s shadow Cabinet, told the podcast they now feel they have to be ultra-careful about what they say. “Anybody who has got a modicum of interest and knowledge of political parties can clearly see there’s been a purge against the left,” L...
