UNITED STATES

The Washington Commanders have pulled off the play of the year thus far to beat the Chicago Bears in thrilling fashion on Sunday night. With a desperation heave to the end zone, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, down three points with no time left on the clock, watched as his Hail Mary sailed toward the end zone. But, what appeared to be a ball too short for a game-winning touchdown, turned into a tipped ball that went backwards from the crowd of Commanders and Bears near the goal line. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe only one behind them? Commanders receiver Noah Brown was the recipient of the tip drill, and Washington won the game, 15-12, on the incredible play. Brown was mobbed by his teammates, while the Commanders sideline sprinted onto the field in amazement and shock, including head coach Dan Quinn. QB STOCK MARKET WEEK 8: HOW IS PATRICK MAHOMES DOING THIS? WHAT IS BROCK PURDY DOING?Meanwhile, the Bears, led by Caleb Williams, couldn’t believe their eyes as they walked off the field shaking their heads. This game wasn’t the highest-scoring bout as the scoreboard read, but it was a highly anticipated matchup between this year’s Nos. 1 and 2 picks in Williams and Daniels respectively. The first half wasn’t pretty for either offense, as there wasn’t a touchdown at all, though Washington was able to kick three field goals to go into halftime with a 9-0 lead. They would eventually make it 12-0 as Williams just couldn’t get anything going on offense. But they were finally able to break their scoring drought in this one thanks to D’Andre Swift, who broke out a 56-yard touchdown run that made it 12-7 after the extra-point from Cairo Santos. In the fourth quarter, Chicago found themselves still down five points when Williams orchestrated a 62-yard touchdown drive, capping the 10 plays with a one-yard punch into the end zone by Roschon Johnson, and the two-point conversion pass to Cole Kmet gave Chicago the three-point lead they wanted with 23 seconds left on the clock. But the total prayer from the arm of Daniels from Washington’s 48-yard line got the right deflection and a play no one will forget from Week 8 makes the Commanders 6-2 on the year, while the Bears fell to 4-3. In the box score, Daniels had 326 yards passing on 21-of-38, while rushing for 52 yards on eight carries. Terry McLaurin needed just five catches to rack up 125 yards, while tight end Zach Ertz had 77 yards on seven receptions. For the Bears, Williams, was just 10-for-24 for 131 yards, though Swift was able to total 129 yards on the ground on 18 carries, including that long touchdown run. Rome Odunze, a fellow rookie alongside Williams and Daniels, led the Bears with 41 yards through the air. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote that the scariest monsters are the ones which lurk within our souls.But what about the souls which lurk in the halls of Congress?The U.S. Capitol is more than 200 years old. And any building which has been around for two centuries, is stocked with legends and ghosts. This time of year, people flock to pop-up haunted houses “on the hill.” But when it comes to Washington, DC, there is only one haunted House (and Senate) on “the Hill.” So allow me to spook you with tales of the Capitol macabre as we descend into the Congressional catacombs.Four grand staircases occupy each quadrant of the Capitol. But the steps in the southwest portion of the building on the House side tell perhaps one of the most grotesque stories in Congress.10 BEST PLACES TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN IN THE US, WITH SPOOKY SPOTS RANKEDAnd we’re not talking about one of the big omnibus spending bills.Rep. William Taulbee, D-Ky., served in Congress in the late 19th Century. And just like today, the Capitol teams with journalists, chasing lawmakers for a quotation or information about legislation. But Taulbee had a problem. Reporter Charles Kincaid wrote for the Louisville Times. Kincaid penned an article about Taulbee’s dalliances titled “Kentucky’s Silver-Tongued Taulbee Caught in Flagrante or Thereabouts.”After the article, Taulbee didn’t seek reelection but stuck around in Washington, pushing various causes – long before “K Street” became a thing. But Taulbee and Kincaid would often run into one another at the Capitol. Taulbee was a lot taller than the diminutive Kincaid and would sometimes physically harass the scribe.The pen may be mightier than the sword. But it’s certainly not as powerful as a pistol.In February, 1890, the two men encountered one another near the House chamber. Kincaid produced his firearm and shot the former Congressman in the face. Taulbee bled profusely as he headed down the marble stairwell.Many lawmakers come to Washington, intent on leaving a mark on the body politic. But as it turns out, it was Taulbee’s body which left an indelible mark on the U.S. Capitol.USER’S MANUAL ON WHAT HOUSE RACES TO WATCH ON ELECTION NIGHTYou see, the composition of human blood and the Georgian, white marble used to make the stairwells of the building don’t exactly mix. Splotches of Taulbee’s blood covered the staircase every few feet from the second floor to the first. Some markings look like shapes in a Rorschach test. Taulbee died the next day from his wounds. But his plasma is forever a part of the U.S. Capitol, permanently staining the staircase.As a result of his fate, Taulbee doesn’t think much of reporters. Even to this day. And it’s believed that Taulbee sometimes makes himself known by tripping members of the Congressional press corps.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the Capitol in the summer of 2019. He had just met with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. However, word broke that day that the attendance-starved Tampa Bay Rays might try to work out an agreement to play some of their home games in Montreal. The Montreal Expos abandoned Canada in 2005 to become the Washington Nationals.Trudeau was a fan of the Expos. There’s even a picture of a boyish Trudeau in the stands at Olympic Stadium in Montreal with his father, late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.It would be a scoop if the younger Trudeau weighed-in on the prospects of Major League Baseball returning to Montreal.Trudeau walked down a spiral staircase not far from where Kincaid killed Taulbee. I tried to get a comment from Trudeau. But for no apparent reason, I tripped over the lip of a step and cascaded in front of the Canadian leader. I didn’t drop the microphone. I also knew that I could break my arm or hand if I tried to catch myself.REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: WITH NO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBERFortunately, I studied martial arts for years. One of the things they teach you is how to fall. I quickly adjusted my weight so I plunged onto my right shoulder and rolled. My feet flew up in the air. This was all caught on tape by my photographer Robert Fetzer.”Oh Chad! Chad! Chad! Chad,” yelled Fetzer, as I plopped directly in front of Trudeau.I was uninjured and Trudeau extended an arm to assist me. But I had already sprang back to my feet. Alas, Trudeau didn’t answer my question about the Rays and Montreal and went on his way.But there was no logical reason why I tripped there. I’ve stood by those stairs hundreds of times. I’ve never been caught by the lip of the lower stairs.A possible explanation?

Perhaps the ghost of William Taulbee saw to it that I keister over teakettle in front of the Canadian Prime Minister.CANADIAN PM TRUDEAU SAYS ‘THERE’S MORE WORK TO DO’ AS HIS PARTY LOSES LONG-HELD SEAT IN QUEBECHowever, there is only one Capitol haunting which surpasses the Taulbee tripping tale.But only by a whisker.It’s the legend of the demon cat.Capitol Police officers and even 19th century watchmen claim they’ve seen a phantasmic feline prowl the hallways of the Capitol before national emergencies. Especially war and assassinations.Purr-portedly.That said, no one spotted the demon cat before 9/11 or the 2021 Capitol riot.CONTINGENT ELECTIONS: WHAT THEY ARE, AND WHAT TO EXPECT IF 2024 TRIGGERS ONEMaybe the demon cat – like all cats – only has nine lives.But I can take you to a place where the demon cat is said to have walked.Go to the first floor of the “mini” Rotunda on the Senate side of the Capitol near the Old Supreme Court chamber. If you learn against one of the columns near that room and look down, you might just see several paw prints permanently etched into the floor. However, the light must catch the prints just right. You could stand right on top of the prints and never spy them.Supposedly the demon cat signed its initials in an obscure Senate stairwell in the basement. Scrawled into the concrete are the initials “DC.”However, this evidence is up to interpretation. Could the DC stand for “District of Columbia?” How about “direct current?” Maybe even, “Detective Comics.”I warned you we would descend into the Congressional cat-acombs.AMERICAN CULTURE QUIZ: TEST YOURSELF ON HIT TV SHOWS, SPORTS STARS AND HALLOWEENThe Capitol features a cornucopia of stories about spooky voices, departed workers singing late at night and even one tale of a senator rocking in a chair, reading legislation. The Capitol Rotunda and Statuary Hall (the old House chamber) are dotted with life-life renderings of statesmen, inventors, heroes and scientists. It is said that after midnight the statues sometimes come alive to debate one another.In the House of Representatives, that’s not a “Special Order” speech but a “Spectral Order.”But sometimes the best ghosts in the Capitol are the ones you conjure in your mind’s eye. Abraham Lincoln sitting at a desk toward the back of the old House chamber. Lyndon Johnson roaming the Senate floor. Scenes of presidential inaugurations from years gone by at the Capitol.The ghosts of the republic in fact haunt the halls of Congress.And in many cases, those phantasms aren’t ghosts.They’re American history.

The New York Jets may be close to rock bottom, as the New England Patriots shocked them with a 25-22 victory thanks to a last-second touchdown drive led by Jacoby Brissett. The Jets have now lost five games in a row, moving to 2-6 while the Patriots own the same record. Aaron Rodgers led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that was capped by a Braelon Allen two-yard rushing score to give the Jets a 22-17 lead that left the Patriots with just under three minutes to respond with a touchdown of their own. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBrissett, who came into this game for the injured rookie Drake Maye, used that time to perfection. The biggest play came on third-and-10 from the Jets’ 43-yard line, where Brissett hit Kayshon Boutte for a 34-yard gain that put the Patriots in the red zone. Multiple attempts later, the Patriots were finally able to punch into the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line, as Rhamondre Stevenson busted through tacklers to cross the plane. PATRIOTS’ DRAKE MAYE LEAVES GAME AFTER HELMET-TO-HELMET HIT ON RUNNING PLAYA shocked Jets team had no timeouts, as Rodgers attempted to get into field goal range to give the team a chance at overtime. However, after a completion to Davante Adams for 16 yards, he wasn’t able to get out of bounds and the clock timed out for the Patriots’ victory. Kicking for the Jets was a brutal storyline once again in this game, as Greg Zuerlein missed a field goal and had one extra point missed as well. Zuerlein struggled in the Jets’ loss to the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago as well, so it’s likely GM Joe Douglas is going to have to think about his kicker position moving forward. Rodgers was 17-for-28 for 233 yards with two passing touchdowns, finding Tyler Conklin and Xavier Gipson for the scores.For the Patriots, Brissett was 15-for-24 for 132 yards after coming in for Maye, but it was Stevenson who found the end zone twice despite rushing for just 48 yards on 20 carries. While the Patriots were able to break their own losing streak, the Jets, a team in “win-now mode” after trading for Adams, will have to go back to the drawing board again as they continue to look for answers to win. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former President Trump will bring his showmanship Sunday to a campaign rally at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, an event that is expected to draw thousands of supporters. The rally in “the world’s most famous arena” comes as Trump targets a deep-blue state that last backed a Republican in 1984. Home to the NBA’s New York Knicks and NHL’s New York Rangers, the Garden has a long tradition of hosting political events close to Election Day. In 1968, segregationist platform candidate and Alabama Gov. George Wallace hosted a campaign rally at the venue a week before the election, which was eventually won by Richard Nixon, a Republican. Nixon hosted a Halloween campaign rally at the Garden, a week before his Election Day victory during one of the most turbulent periods in American history. JOY VILLA WEARS PRO-TRUMP DOWN TO GRAMMYS: ‘IMPEACHED AND RE-ELECTED’On Oct. 31, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson addressed fellow Democrats at the “old” MSG venue, which was 16 blocks north of the current Garden. “I have come to New York in the final hours of this campaign,” Johnson said. “I come to say to you once again that your president will need your prayers and your president will need your support, and your president will also need Democratic congressmen in the House and Bob Kennedy in the Senate.”TRUMP TO HOLD RALLY AT NEW YORK’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AHEAD OF ELECTION DAYBefore Johnson, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower came to the Garden in October 1956 to rally his troops to re-elect the Eisenhower/Nixon ticket. It worked. During his speech, Eisenhower addressed the economy and the Cold War with the Soviet Union, which began several years earlier.TRUMP ADVISER UNPACKS WHY FORMER PRESIDENT IS HOLDING RALLY IN DEEP-BLUE STATE WEEKS FROM ELECTION”There is, of course, nothing amusing when the opposition’s political techniques are extended to world affairs.,” he said. “They urge a vigorous and realistic policy towards the Communist empire – and they suggest that we begin, in our relations with the Soviet Union, by trusting our national safety to agreements that have no effective safeguards and no controls.” “I respond to such propositions with one firm belief. There is no political campaign that justifies the declaration of a moratorium on common sense,” he added.”Days before defeating Republican nominee Thomas Dewey of New York in 1948, President Harry Truman, a Democrat, visited MSG, where he said his opponent kept following him across the country. “The White House physician told me not to worry. He said: ‘You keep right on your way. There is one place where that fellow is not going to follow you – and that’s in the White House,'” said Truman before assailing the Republican Party. “The Republican candidate can follow me all the way from Los Angeles to Madison Square Garden, but the Republican record makes it certain that he will still be trailing along behind when the votes are counted,” he said. “He is doing all he can to make you forget that record. He doesn’t dare talk about it. I have never in my life been in a campaign where the opposition refused absolutely to discuss the issues of the campaign. I can’t understand that sort of an approach. But after I had analyzed the situation I came to the conclusion that the record of the Republican Party is much too bad to talk about.”TRUMP APPEARED ON JOE ROGAN’S PODCAST FOR NEARLY THREE HOURS: HERE ARE THE TOP MOMENTSOn Oct. 28, 1940, Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke to supporters before winning re-election against Republican nominee Wendell Wilkie.In his remarks, FDR addressed the Great Depression and the Second World War taking place in Europe and his increase in defense spending amid threats from abroad. He accused Republicans of playing politics with America’s defense as war raged in Europe and Asia amid pressure to isolate the U.S. to stay out of the conflict. “I say that the Republican leaders played politics with defense in 1938 and 1939,” said FDR. “I say that they are playing politics with our national security today.”Herbert Hoover addressed a crowd at MSG on Oct. 22, 1928, before winning his election. Despite the long list of presidents that have graced the venue, MSG has also hosted some controversial gatherings, including the notorious “Pro-American Rally” of 1939. The event was organized by the pro-Nazi German American Bund and was attended by thousands in the lead-up to World War II. Days later, the Garden hosted a Communist Party rally.
