The Atlanta Falcons received an important update on injured wide receiver Drake London ahead of their game on Sunday, Nov. 30 against the New York Jets. According to Falcons head coach Raheem Morris, London is doubtful for Sunday’s game as he recovers from a PCL strain in his left knee. London suffered the injury back in week 11 during the Falcons’ overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. He had played all the way through regulation while making seven catches for 119 yards, but injured his knee during the overtime period. London was not designated to the IR following the injury, which is cause to believe he would be ready to return in less than four weeks which is the required length of an IR designation. He missed Atlanta’s week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints. London was listed as a DNP in each practice leading up to the Saints game. This weeks initial injury report hasn’t been released, though Morris said that London is beginning to do some work, so a return is possible for week 14. London leads Atlanta in each major receiving category. He has 60 catches for 810 yards and six touchdowns. Falcons Defeat Saints Without London to End 5-Game Skid Atlanta had lost five straight games leading into their divisional showdown with the New Orleans Saints, including two straight overtime losses to the Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers and a one-point loss to the New England Patriots. Even though the Saints sit in the basement of the NFL with a record of 2-9, the Falcons showed a great amount of resiliency getting a win on the road without their star wide receiver. Kirk Cousins has been elevated to the starting QB role once again with Michael Penix out for the season, and although he didn’t have his A-game against New Orleans, it was enough to get the job done. He completed 16 passes to seven different receivers, none of whom had more than three catches, but against a lacking Saints secondary, a couple of big plays made the difference. Darnell Mooney stepped up to catch a 49-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter which put Falcons up by 14 and kept the score out of reach for a New Orleans comeback. Playoff Chances Slim For Atlanta At 4-7 with just six games left to go in the season for the Falcons, the playoffs aren’t technically out of reach, but that five-game losing streak put Atlanta in a bad spot as we head towards December. The only chance the Falcons still have of making the playoffs is to make a run in the NFC South, which is currently led by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 6-5. Although Tampa got out to a great 5-1 start, three consecutive losses have them now fending off the Carolina Panthers, who are only behind them by virtue of a bye week for the Bucs. The Falcons should be able to defeat the Jets handily this weekend, which could bring them to within one game of the division lead with one more matchup against the Bucs coming in week 15. Chances are slim, but maybe the aging Kirk Cousins has one more trick up his sleeve.

Chargers open window for RB Omarion Hampton’s return
EL SEGUNDO When the Chargers returned to the practice field Tuesday after their bye week, they welcomed running back Omarion Hampton back after he spent seven weeks on injured reserve because of an injured ankle. The team opened the window for him to return to the active roster. Whether he plays Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders after he was injured in the Chargers’ loss Oct. 5 to the Washington Commanders will be determined this week in practice. The Chargers (7-4) certainly could use him against the Raiders (2-9) and for the five regular-season games to follow. Hampton, a rookie who was the Chargers’ first-round draft pick (22nd overall), would provide some depth beyond Kimani Vidal, a second-year player who inherited the starter’s position after a series of injuries. Najee Harris went out for the season because of an Achilles tendon injury in Week 3. Hampton was placed on IR after he was hurt in Week 5. Hassan Haskins was placed on IR after he injured his hamstring in Week 7. Vidal responded by rushing for a team-leading 417 yards plus two touchdowns on 96 carries over eight games, including the first six starts of his NFL career. His only backup over the past six games was Jaret Patterson, who was the odd-man out as the Chargers exited training camp in August. Patterson rushed for 75 yards on 21 carries in relief of Vidal. Hampton was the Chargers’ leading rusher with 314 yards and two touchdowns on 66 carries when he was hurt when a Commanders player fell on his leg in a 27-10 loss to Washington at SoFi Stadium, a game they led 10-0 by the end of the first quarter. His possible return Sunday means the Chargers will have more options, not that Vidal wasn’t productive. Vidal rushed for 100 yards or more twice, including a career-high 124 in a victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 6. He also had 117 yards in a win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. “Excited about that,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said of Hampton’s return to practice Tuesday. “Good to get him back on the field. Just going to ramp up, so we’ll see how the week goes. I’m not going to prognosticate that (workload split between Hampton and Vidal). We’ll see how the week goes.” In addition to Hampton, Harbaugh said the Chargers also opened the window for defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia to return from IR. Ogbonnia has been sidelined by an elbow injury since the Chargers’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. The Chargers did not open the window for Haskins’ return. CRITICAL ANALYSIS Painful though it might have been for the Chargers’ coaching staff and their players, they dissected the video from their 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11 and, indeed, each of the previous 10 games to determine what’s gone right and wrong with their season to date. Harbaugh didn’t dive into the specifics of what he and the others liked and didn’t like about the first 11 games, but he did say “part of the excitement” of returning to practice this week was putting into action for the final six games what was learned during their just-completed bye week. “Ready to chip away and work at it from all angles,” he said. O-LINE UPDATES Harbaugh said the bye week was especially good for tackles Bobby Hart, Trey Pipkins III and Jamaree Salyer, who will be counted on during the regular season’s final games to protect quarterback Justin Herbert and also create more room to run for Hampton and Vidal.

Primetime games are always considered “in-market.” If your goal is to watch every Chiefs game at the lowest possible total cost, here’s our step-by-step recommendation on what to do: Sign up for the Paramount+ “Essential” plan to watch every in-market game on CBS Keep Paramount+ through the end of the season. It’s $8 per month. Before the Week 14 game (NBC primetime), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”. If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for one month of Peacock “Premium” for $11. Before the Week 17 game, sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. If you don’t have the free trial available, sign up for one month of Prime Video for $9 That’s it. Depending on the free trials you have available, that’s somewhere between $16 and $36 to watch every remaining Chiefs game. Also note: You can sign up for NFL+ for just $7 per month and watch every in-market and primetime game. However, you can only watch games live on your phone or tablet. They’ll be blocked (until they’re available as replays) on your TV or PC. Out of Market If the Chiefs play outside your market, here’s a step-by-step guide to watch every game for as cheap as possible: Sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket to watch every non-primetime out-of-market game. Keep it through the end of the season, which will cost $48 total Before the Week 13 game (CBS primetime), sign up for a free trial of Paramount+ “Essential” or Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”. Before the Week 14 game (NBC primetime), sign up for a different free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”. If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for one month of Peacock “Premium” for $11. Before the Week 17 game, sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. If you don’t have the free trial available, sign up for one month of Prime Video for $9 Canada & International This one’s pretty simple: If you live outside of the United States (excluding China), you can sign up for NFL Game Pass on DAZN and watch every single NFL game live. The pricing depends on your country. How to Watch Chiefs Games With as Few Streaming Services as Possible In Market If you aren’t as concerned with price and simply want to minimize the amount of streaming services you sign up for, sign up for one of these: Fubo “Pro” DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” YouTube TV “Base Plan” Hulu + Live TV All of these will give you access to dozens of live TV channels, including CBS and NBC in most markets. If you’re in market, that’ll give you every remaining Chiefs game other than the Prime Video-exclusive one (Week 17 vs Broncos). All of these streaming services offer first-month deals, and there are free trials for Fubo, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV available if you want to mix and match to cut down the total price a bit. But if you simply want one service for the rest of the season, we would go with Fubo. Out of Market For the out-of-market fans, this option isn’t really different than the one above. You’ll still need NFL Sunday Ticket for all of the non-primetime games that are televised on CBS. Then, for the primetime games on CBS (Week 13), NBC (Week 14) or Prime Video (Week 17), you’ll still need to add another streaming service for those games.

Kurt Cobain’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ guitar to be sold at NYC auction — and could fetch millions
**Kurt Cobain’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Guitar to Be Sold at Midtown Auction Next Spring, Expected to Fetch Millions**
A rare piece of music history is set to go under the hammer next spring in Midtown: Kurt Cobain’s 1969 Fender Mustang guitar, famously used in the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” music video, will be auctioned off with an expected price tag between $2.5 million and $5 million, The Post has learned.
The iconic Nirvana frontman’s Mustang will be part of a massive sale featuring late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay’s extensive music memorabilia collection at Christie’s in March. According to Alexander Rotter, Christie’s global president, “He made the greatest music on this guitar and defined a generation.” The Mustang is rumored to have been one of Cobain’s favorite guitars.
“This is a piece of American history, so I [predict] a lot of people coming in for it. I am convinced it will get competitive,” Rotter added.
The auction is expected to draw a record number of music fans into the free-to-enter Rockefeller Plaza galleries, which have previously showcased guitars once owned by legendary rockers such as Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck. Rotter anticipates a vibrant turnout, describing the atmosphere as feeling “like a concert.”
“I expect this building to be crowded when we’re selling this collection — excitingly crowded. When we open up and go into popular culture at the highest level, because that’s what we do, it gets exciting,” he said.
Jim Irsay purchased the Fender Mustang for $4.6 million in 2022, making it the highest-priced electric guitar ever sold at the time. Despite significant scratches and wear on the guitar’s body, Rotter pointed out that this particular instrument hasn’t suffered the same fate as some other Cobain-owned guitars, many of which were smashed onstage or heavily battered.
Cobain’s heavily damaged Fender Stratocaster sold for $595,000 at auction in 2023, even though it was unplayable.
“He didn’t go crazy with [the Mustang], like with some other guitars that we’ve seen in videos or live concerts,” said Rotter. “He took care of it and it survived.”
Cobain himself expressed his fondness for the Mustang in a 1991 interview with Guitar World, calling the model “cheap and totally inefficient, and they sound like crap and are very small.” Yet, he also proclaimed, “Out of all the guitars in the whole world, the Fender Mustang is my favorite. I’ve only owned two of them. Lately, I’ve been using a Strat live because I don’t want to ruin my Mustang yet.”
For fans eager to acquire a piece of Cobain’s legacy before the spring auction, Christie’s will also be auctioning an Elizabeth Peyton portrait of Kurt Cobain this Wednesday. The portrait, completed a year after Cobain’s 1994 death by suicide at the age of 27, is expected to fetch between $2 million and $3 million.
Rotter described the artwork as “almost a love letter in portraiture form of Kurt by one of the greatest portrait artists of her generation.”
The Fender Mustang was used in studio sessions for both Nirvana’s seminal 1991 album *Nevermind* and its 1993 follow-up, *In Utero*. The guitar was previously owned by the Cobain family and displayed at The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle from 2010 until its acquisition by Irsay. It later toured as part of the Jim Irsay Collection, which includes other legendary items such as Elton John’s longtime Steinway & Sons touring piano, handwritten Bob Dylan lyrics, a Ringo Starr drum kit, and guitars used by Elvis Presley, Prince, and John Lennon.
The former business mogul was reportedly offered more than $1 billion for his extensive music memorabilia collection, according to ESPN. In October, Irsay’s daughters announced plans to sell off large portions of the collection, with part of the proceeds designated for charity.
“Our dad was a passionate collector, driven not by possession, but by a profound appreciation for the beauty, history, and cultural resonance of the items he curated,” the family said in a statement. “From iconic instruments to handwritten lyrics by legends to rare historical artifacts and documents, each piece in the collection tells a story, and he was always so excited to share those stories with the world.”
Christie’s is already preparing the stage for the Midtown auction house’s rockstar sale next spring, promising to “transform” its galleries with some of music history’s most treasured ephemera.
“Right now, we’re thinking about how to display [Irsay’s] guitars because they need to look the part,” Rotter explained, pointing to the acclaimed Fender Mustang as a highlight. “It will be an amazing sale of memorabilia that spans [eras], and this will be one of the trophies.”

Seahawks swap offensive linemen on Injured Reserve ahead of Week 11 game vs Rams
The Seattle Seahawks have made three final roster moves ahead of their massive Week 11 road matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. John Boyle published a press release detailing these changes at 10:14 a.m. PST on Saturday morning.
Jalen Sundell, who started the first nine games for the Seahawks at center, has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury during Week 10’s blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals. Sundell will miss at least the next four games and is expected to be eligible to return in Week 15’s home game against the Indianapolis Colts, a team that has emerged as a surprising conference frontrunner.
In Sundell’s absence, Olu Oluwatimi stepped in and found success, particularly within the run-blocking scheme. Oluwatimi will start at center for tomorrow’s game.
Additionally, Christian Haynes was activated from injured reserve to take Sundell’s place on the active roster. Haynes will make his 2025 season debut after being sidelined during the preseason. He adds valuable depth to an interior offensive line that has been thin this season, providing backup support for both the starting center and right guard positions.
The Seahawks also elevated linebacker Patrick O’Connell from the practice squad ahead of tomorrow’s game, bolstering their defensive options.

RB Jonathan Taylor’s huge day leads Colts to overtime win vs. Falcons
Jonathan Taylor delivered a huge performance in the Colts’ thrilling overtime victory over the Falcons. It’s no surprise that Taylor once again earned the title of Colts Player of the Game after an outstanding display on the field.
The sixth-year running back recorded a season-high 244 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 32 carries during Indianapolis’ 31-25 overtime win against Atlanta in Berlin, Germany. Taylor’s standout performance included an 83-yard touchdown run, the longest rushing play of the season, breaking Falcons running back Bijan Robinson’s previous mark of 81 yards.
In overtime, Taylor sealed the victory by scoring the game-winning touchdown. He finished the game by gaining 33 yards on five consecutive carries during the final drives. With an impressive average of 7.6 yards per carry, Taylor led the Colts in both rushing yards and scoring. Remarkably, he ran for just 11 yards fewer than quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for 255 yards.
Heading into the game, Taylor needed 105 rushing yards to surpass the 1,000-yard mark for the season. After his dominant outing, reaching a 2,000+ yard rushing season now seems well within reach. In total, he amassed 286 all-purpose yards, adding three receptions for 42 yards. Taylor was also one of three Colts players to record three or more receptions during the game.
Through the first 10 weeks of the season, Jonathan Taylor has tallied 15 rushing touchdowns and 1,139 rushing yards, underscoring his vital role in the Colts’ offense. His remarkable consistency and explosive plays continue to make him a force to be reckoned with on the field.

Colts Reacts Survey Results Week 10: Hear about that big trade?
Even after their four-game winning streak was snapped in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis Colts (7-2) fans remain confident that their team is headed in the right direction—92% to be exact. And for good reason. Despite the recent tough road loss, the Colts still sit atop the AFC and made a blockbuster move earlier this week to significantly upgrade their depleted cornerback room.
Specifically, the Colts made national headlines just ahead of this week’s trade deadline by acquiring two-time NFL All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner. The price was steep: two future first-round picks and wide receiver A. J. Mitchell. While that cost was no doubt high for a cornerback—even one as young and talented as Gardner—a strong majority of Colts fans have graded the surprising trade deadline deal positively.
Namely, 49% of Colts fans gave the trade an A grade, while another 39% rated longtime general manager Chris Ballard and Co. with a B. A smaller portion of fans gave lower marks.
Only time will tell whether Gardner lives up to the value Indianapolis gave up. However, he’s a young, elite cornerback who excels when things are going right. He is expected to help the Colts both in the short term and well beyond.
The Colts didn’t just acquire key competition, a stopgap, or a bandaid solution—they landed a bona fide CB1 just hitting his prime. Joining Charvarius Ward (when healthy) and Kenny Moore II, this trio arguably forms the best cornerback group in all of football.
Gardner, having cleared the league’s concussion protocol earlier this week, is expected to make his Colts debut in Berlin, Germany, against the Atlanta Falcons on the road this weekend.
Adding to the optimism, 97% of Colts fans believe Indianapolis will emerge victorious versus Atlanta and perhaps start a new winning streak.
Prost to the Colts’ bright future!

Colts dealt disappointing DeForest Buckner injury update
The Indianapolis Colts had a strong trade deadline, adding a key piece to their defense. However, the team faced a setback on Friday, as star pass rusher DeForest Buckner will be sidelined for an extended period due to a neck injury.
According to NFL insider Ari Meirov, “The Colts are placing DT DeForest Buckner on IR with a neck injury. Very significant loss. He’s out at least four games.” The Colts officially confirmed the injury shortly afterward.
This is a major blow to the Colts’ defense, which currently ranks in the top 10 in sack percentage, according to Team Rankings. Head coach Shane Steichen revealed that Buckner sustained the neck injury during the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
This marks the second significant injury in Buckner’s career; he previously missed five weeks last season due to an ankle injury. Over the course of his career, Buckner has missed a total of six games.
As the Colts prepare to travel to Germany for a matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, they will be without their best pass rusher. Buckner leads all Colts pass rushers with four sacks and has tallied 26 solo tackles so far this season.
Adding to the team’s defensive concerns, Tyquan Lewis, who ranks second on the team with three sacks, is currently dealing with a groin injury. This situation will likely require Kwity Paye, also with three sacks, to step up in Buckner’s absence.
With a 7-2 record, the Colts are entering a critical stretch as they aim to secure a playoff berth by winning the AFC South. Following their game in Germany against the Falcons, the team faces a challenging schedule:
– After their bye week, they travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
– Next, they will host the Houston Texans.
– Finally, they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Northern Florida.
By placing Buckner on injured reserve, his earliest eligible return is Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. If he is unable to return then, his next opportunity will be the following week on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Colts will need to hold the fort defensively until Buckner’s return as they navigate this difficult gauntlet in pursuit of a playoff spot.
