Boom. Pop. Wham.For each hit the New York Giants levied on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on Sunday night, there was an equal and opposite reaction. A handful of crucial mistakes and head-scratching decision-making from the players on the field resulted in Giants fans trekking out of MetLife Stadium and onto Route 3 in East Rutherford, New Jersey early again.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMCincinnati won 17-7.Burrow’s impact was felt. On 3rd-and-12 from the Giants’ 47-yard line, Burrow decided to run the ball to his right. To everyone’s surprise, there was no Giants player in sight. He galloped for the longest touchdown run of his career and it put Cincinnati up 7-0 early.It was like that for most of the game. The Giants made two 4th-down conversions on their way to a Tyrone Tracy Jr. 1-yard touchdown. The Bengals took the lead on the next drive but the Giants had a legitimate chance to tie the game up again.Daniel Jones led the team on an 11-play, 42-yard drive that saw Jaylin Hyatt failing to give himself a chance at a long pass and then the quarterback firing a pass into the facemask of a Bengals defender.LIONS DESTROY COWBOYS BEHIND JARED GOFF’S 3 TOUCHDOWN PASSESUnfortunately, Greg Joseph missed a 47-yard field goal and later a 45-yarder.Cincinnati punted on their next drive and New York returned the favor by turning the ball over on downs.Bengals running back Chase Brown scored the game-sealing touchdown and celebrated with the three Bengals fans that were in the end zone seating.An ugly game resulted in the Bengals’ second win of the season. The Giants missed an opportunity to get back to .500.Burrow had 208 passing yards even as he was sacked four times. He led the team with 55 rushing yards. Tee Higgins had seven catches for 77 yards.Jones had 205 passing yards and an interception.

North Korea announced Sunday that army units are prepared to launch strikes against South Korea, after its neighbor to the south flew drones over Pyongyang and dropped leaflets.The Associated Press reported that South Korea has refused to confirm if it sent drones into North Korea but warned it would punish North Korea if the people of South Korea are threatened.According to North Korea, South Korea flew drones into its country three times and dropped propaganda leaflets over the capital city of Pyongyang. North Korean officials warned if it happens again, they will respond with force.State media reported Sunday that the North’s Defense Ministry said its military issued a preliminary operation order to artillery and other units near the border of South Korea to be prepared to “open fire.”NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES FRESH WAVE OF TRASH BALLOONS TOWARD SOUTH KOREAA spokesperson for the ministry who remained unidentified said North Korea’s military ordered units to fully prepare for situations in which they may need to launch immediate strikes on unspecified enemy targets, if South Korea sends drones across the border again, according to the statement.The spokesperson also said “grave tough-and-go military tensions are prevailing on the Korean Peninsula” due to the south’s drone flights.In another statement on Sunday, the spokesperson said South Korea “might turn into piles of ashes” after North Korea’s powerful attack.TOP RUSSIAN OFFICIAL LANDS IN IRAN AMID US, UK CONCERNS OVER ALLEGED NUCLEAR DEALNorth Korea is no stranger to issuing such fiery and blistering rhetoric when tensions between it and South Korea and the U.S. become elevated.Relations between North and South Korea have been tense since a U.S.-led diplomacy to end North Korea’s nuclear program disintegrated in 2019.Since then, North Korea has pushed to expand its nuclear arsenal and has repeatedly threatened to attack South Korea and the U.S. with nuclear weapons.TOP RUSSIAN OFFICIAL LANDS IN IRAN AMID US, UK CONCERNS OVER ALLEGED NUCLEAR DEALExperts, though, say it is unlikely North Korea will launch a full-blown attack because the U.S. and South Korean forces outpace the north’s military.Last Week, North Korea said it would permanently block its border with South Korea and build front-line defense structures to cope with “confrontational hysteria” by South Korean and U.S. forces.Last month, North Korea launched more than 160 balloons carrying trash across the southern border.Inside the balloons were paper, plastic bottles and other household garbage, which were found in parts of Gyeonggi Province, which surrounds the capital of Seoul.Earlier in September, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected about 420 balloons that the north allegedly launched into South Korea.The trash bundle is the latest tit-for-tat between the two Koreas, which have been engaging in Cold War-style tactics since earlier this year, with the North having flown thousands of balloons toward the South, filled with wastepaper, cloth scraps, cigarette butts and even manure. North Korea says the balloons are in retaliation against South Korean civilian activists who fly anti-North Korean propaganda leaflets across the border.Trash carried by at least one North Korean balloon fell on the South Korean presidential compound in July, raising concerns about the vulnerability of key South Korean facilities. Officials said the balloon contained no dangerous materials and that no one was hurt.South Korea has retaliated with front-line loudspeakers to blast propaganda messages and K-pop songs toward the North.Fox News Digital’s Bradford Betz and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Archaeologists recently uncovered what they believe to be one of the oldest Christian churches in the world.The University of Münster announced the discovery of the fourth-century church in a press release on Oct. 11. The school, which is located in Germany, teamed up with archaeologists from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia to find the ancient ruins.The remains of the ancient Christian building were found at the Artaxata site in the Ararat Plain. Excavators have been digging there since 2018, but didn’t find the remains until recently.”The find consists of an octagonal building with cruciform extensions,” the University of Münster explained. “The team excavated parts of the church and studied it using geophysical methods.”MYSTERIOUS GRAVESTONE IN VIRGINIA REVEALS 400-YEAR-OLD SECRETS: ARCHAEOLOGISTS”Typologically, the find corresponds to early Christian memorial buildings,” the press release continued. “In the cross-shaped extensions, the researchers discovered the remains of wooden platforms, which were radiocarbon dated to the mid-4th century AD”The oldest Christian church buildings date back to the third and fourth centuries. The octagonal church at Artaxata had a floor made of mortar and terracotta tiles, and measured around 100 feet in diameter. DIVERS FIND 130-YEAR-OLD SHIPWRECK WITH INTRIGUING PAST HIDDEN IN LAKE MICHIGANThere were also some fragments of marble imported from the Mediterranean, which indicate the church was “lavishly decorated,” experts say.”The 4th century building is the oldest archaeologically documented church in the country – sensational evidence for early Christianity in Armenia,” University of Münster Professor Achim Lichtenberger said in a statement.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe find is fitting in Armenia, which the University of Münster says was the first Christian state ever established.”According to legend, Gregory the Illuminator converted the Armenian king Tiridates III to Christianity in Artaxata in 301 AD, making Armenia the first Christian state in the world,” the school explained. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP”The medieval monastery of Khor Virap, just a stone’s throw from the now-discovered church, is a reminder of this tradition. Artaxata served as the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia, ruled by the Artaxiad and Arsacid dynasties,” the press release added. “The city developed into an important metropolis in the Hellenistic period and was the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia for almost six centuries.”For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
