It was a close game in London on Sunday, but the Tennessee Titans fell to the Baltimore Ravens to move to 2-4, which is the bottom of the AFC South.Â
After the 24-16 loss, Titans star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons seemingly called out his teammates while talking to reporters, saying the team needs to figure out who wants to be on the field.
“We need to figure out the guys who are going to fight,” Simmons said. “We need to figure out the guys who want to be out there, not the guys that don’t want to be out there. That’s what it needs to be. We need to reevaluate our team and figure that out. That’s the message: Let’s figure out who wants to play football for the Titans.”Â

It was a frustrating game all around for the Titans, especially on the offensive side of the ball as quarterback Ryan Tannehill couldn’t get much going before leaving the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury.Â
Simmons was even seen letting out his frustrations on the Ravens during the contest. After Ravens rookie Zay Flowers hauled in a pass, Simmons was seen diving at his legs as he was being tackled by two of his teammates.
Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. took exception to Simmons doing so and appeared to knee him. Simmons ended up reacting more strongly to Beckham’s displeasure, and he was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Beckham and Baltimore received one as well.
Simmons ended the game with two tackles for the Titans as the team dropped its second straight game.
The Titans have a lot of questions to answer, especially at the quarterback position. Tannehill’s injury brought second-year backup Malik Willis into the game. He went 4-for-5 through the air for 74 yards but wasn’t able to find the end zone when the Titans needed it most late in the game.

Tennessee saw Willis struggle mightily in his rookie season in 2022, though he beat out rookie Will Levis for the backup role behind Tannehill.
Head coach Mike Vrabel seemingly suggested that the Titans have some issues they might not be able to fix right now, though.Â
“I’m not going to stop trying,” he told reporters. “Not going to stop trying to prepare them and teach them the fundamentals and execution. There will be some good plays in there and certainly ones we have to eliminate that are getting us beat.”
“I would consider anything that would help us win right now, and that’s quarterback – everything. … Let’s figure out what’s going on with Ryan.”

No matter how the New York Jets’ game goes against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, fans will be happy to see Aaron Rodgers getting in some work on the MetLife Stadium turf.
Rodgers was seen throwing some footballs before the Jets took on the Eagles. And he didn’t need any crutches or assistance in a little more than four weeks since his Achilles surgery.
Rodgers didn’t run around but remained in a stationery position as he threw passes to some Jets staff as well as injured cornerback Sauce Gardner, who was ruled out with a concussion before the game.

But it was clear Rodgers was putting weight on that surgically repaired Achilles, delivering passes around 15 yards.
Rodgers wasn’t expected to be in East Rutherford on Sunday as he noted his rehab was going to be done in California before returning to the Jets after the Week 7 bye. But Rodgers, who was present two weeks ago for the Jets’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs, will be present to watch his Gang Green squad again.
Rodgers also mentioned that he wouldn’t rule out playing again this season after suffering the torn Achilles on Sept. 11 – just four snaps into his Jets tenure. The 39-year-old’s goal is to defy expectations that he will need a whole year before returning to the field again.
While we don’t know where Rodgers is at on his recovery timeline, the fact that he is throwing close to five weeks after surgery without needing assistance is pretty remarkable.

According to ESPN, Rodgers is using blood flow restriction therapy, which allows the building of muscle around the repair with “low-load exercise.” However, the Achilles needs around three months to reach a full recovery before an athlete can start doing more explosive rehab, which includes jumping and running.
There are still many skeptics surrounding Rodgers’ return to the field this season because of that timeline that usually takes place for Achilles recovery. But don’t tell the four-time MVP that.
Meanwhile, the Jets improved to 2-3 last week when they took down the Denver Broncos on the road, a much-needed win for head coach Robert Saleh and Rodgers’ replacement, quarterback Zach Wilson.

The Jets will continue to lean on Wilson, but Rodgers’ recovery journey took a big step in the public’s eye on Sunday to the point where some skeptics might start believing he can return at some point this year.

Rookie C.J. Stroud threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns and the Houston Texans got two defensive stops late to hold on for a 20-13 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
The victory matches Houston’s win total from last season when the team finished 3-13-1.
The Saints (3-3) trailed by 7 when Derek Carr threw a 51-yard pass to Rashid Shaheed to get them to the Houston 35. Five consecutive runs by Alvin Kamara got them to the 14. But Carr’s pass to Kamara on fourth-and-4 was short to give Houston the ball back with 4½ minutes to go.
Shaquill Griffin and Blake Cashman combined to take Kamara down near the Texans sideline where coach DeMeco Ryans celebrated with his defense.
Houston (3-3) couldn’t move the ball after that and punted it back. New Orleans got to the Houston 24 on the next drive, but Carr’s throw on fourth-and-10 was intercepted by Steven Nelson with 21 seconds left to secure the win.
Carr threw for a season-high 353 yards and a touchdown but often couldn’t finish drives as the Saints, lost for the third time in four games after opening the season 2-0.
The Texans led 17-10 at halftime and made it 20-10 on a 22-yard field goal with about seven minutes left in the third quarter. Houston had a first down at the 1-yard line after a pass interference call against Marshon Lattimore in the end zone. But two incomplete passes and a 3-yard loss on a run by Dameon Pierce forced the Texans to settle for the short field goal.
Blake Grupe’s 45-yard field goal cut the lead to 20-13 with about two minutes remaining in the third. Carr was sacked by Sheldon Rankins for a loss of 11 yards on second down and threw an incomplete pass on third to bring up fourth down.
New Orleans had a shot to cut the deficit on its next drive, but Grupe’s 29-yard attempt sailed wide right.
Kamara had 19 carries for 68 yards and Chris Olave had seven receptions for 96 yards.
The Saints missed a 52-yard field-goal attempt on their first drive.
Stroud threw his first interception of the season in the first quarter after setting an NFL record for attempts without a pick to start a career. Stroud entered the game having thrown 186 passes without an interception to pass Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott, who threw 176 passes before being intercepted.

Stroud threw five passes Sunday to stretch the streak to 191 before a pass intended for Dalton Schultz was intercepted by Zack Baun with about six minutes left in the first quarter.
But receiver Nico Collins hit Baun after the interception and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Tytus Howard, to give the Texans the ball back.
Stroud put the Texans up 7-0 when he threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Schultz to give him a TD in three straight games.
New Orleans tied it when Carr connected with Shaheed on a 34-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter.
Houston added a 24-yard field goal with about 10½ minutes remaining in the second quarter to make it 10-7.
The Texans made it 17-7 when Robert Woods caught a 6-yard TD pass from Stroud about three minutes until halftime. Collins got that drive going with a 28-yard reception.
New Orleans cut the lead to 17-10 when Grupe made a 48-yard field goal just before halftime.
INJURIES
Houston S Eric Murray injured a knee in the first quarter. … New Orleans LG James Hurst injured an ankle in the second quarter. … RT Ryan Ramczyk left in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion.
SACKED
Stroud was sacked two times Sunday after the Texans entered the game having not allowed a sack in a franchise-record three games. Carl Granderson had one and Demario Davis had the other.
UP NEXT
Saints: Host Jacksonville Thursday night.
Texans: Are off next Sunday before visiting Carolina Oct. 29.
Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes, Travis Etienne ran for a pair of scores and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat Indianapolis 37-20 on Sunday for their third consecutive victory. It was the Colts’ ninth straight road loss in the series.
Coming off back-to-back victories overseas, the Jaguars (4-2) spent all week hoping to avoid a “London hangover.” They responded with their most lopsided victory of the season.
This one was essentially over in the third quarter when Lawrence connected with rookie tight end Brenton Strange for a 10-yard strike and put Jacksonville ahead 31-6.
Lawrence also found Christian Kirk for a 29-yard score in the second. Etienne scored on runs of 2 and 22 yards early in the same quarter.
The Colts (3-3) had hoped to end a head-scratching road skid against Jacksonville that started in 2015. But Gardner Minshew, getting the start in place of injured rookie Anthony Richardson, turned the ball over four times in his return to Jacksonville.
A sixth-round draft pick by the Jags in 2019, Minshew fumbled once and threw three interceptions. Jacksonville now leads the NFL with 15 takeaways, with Josh Allen forcing the early fumble and Andre Cisco, Rayshawn Jenkins and Darious Williams getting picks.
Jacksonville’s defense has allowed 21 or fewer points in five of six games this season, one reason the team now sits alone atop the AFC South.
Lawrence and Co. have come around, too. With Lawrence and Etienne leading the way, the Jaguars have scored 85 points during their three-game winning streak.
Etienne gained 55 yards on 18 carries. Lawrence completed 20 of 30 passes for 181 yards, with the two TDs and an interception. He hobbled off the field late after getting sacked and had his left knee checked on the sideline.
Still, Lawrence was much more efficient than his counterpart.
Minshew completed 33 of 55 passes for 329 yards, with a touchdown to Josh Downs and the three picks. All of the INTs were thrown almost directly at defenders, surely reminding Jaguars fans of his limitations that showed up while losing his final seven starts in 2020.
TAYLOR’S WORKLOAD
Jonathan Taylor ran eight times for 19 yards, a slightly increased workload from his season debut a week earlier. He also caught five passes for 46 yards.
Still, Zack Moss scored on a 3-yard run in the fourth quarter and finished with similar numbers.

RICHARDSON TRAVELS
Richardson made the trip to Jacksonville, the NFL venue closest to his hometown in Gainesville, and watched from the sideline while wearing a sling on his right arm and a headset to listen to plays. Richardson suffered a sprained AC joint last week against Tennessee.
RECORD SETTER
Veteran backup offensive lineman Tyler Shatley broke the franchise record for consecutive games played at 129. Shatley has played in every game since Nov. 8, 2015, at the New York Jets.
Shatley’s streak started in his second NFL season. He broke the previous mark held by long-snapper Joe Zelenka. Shatley also made his 47th start, including 32 in the last four seasons.
Also noteworthy, Lawrence moved into fourth on Jacksonville’s all-time passing yards list and Etienne moved into eight for rushing touchdowns.
INJURY REPORT
Colts receiver Alex Pierce (left knee) was ruled out late. Rookie cornerback JuJu Brents left briefly with a cut on his nose in the third quarter. He was flagged for pass interference on his first play back in the game.
Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell (right hamstring) and RG Brandon Scherff (left ankle) were injured in the second quarter and did not return. Both went to the locker room for further tests and were back on the sideline in the third quarter.
How would you feel if your social media posts were used to train a virtual assistant without your consent? That is exactly what is happening to millions of people who belong to Facebook and Instagram.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, admits that it is using public posts from both Instagram and Facebook members to train its new artificial intelligence assistant, Meta AI.
So, exactly what is Meta AI? It is a conversational assistant that can respond to text queries and generate photorealistic images from text prompts. It is available in beta on WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram and is coming soon to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and Quest 3. Meta AI is powered by generative technologies such as Llama 2 and Emu, which are capable of creating text and images from large datasets.
What content is Meta using from public posts to train its AI?
According to Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, the tech giant is using both text and photos from public posts from people’s Instagram and Facebook to train Meta AI. He says the posts are selected based on their popularity and engagement and that they are stripped of any personal details before being fed to the AI system. He also says Meta has built safeguards into Meta AI to prevent misuse and abuse, such as filtering out harmful or offensive content.
Concerns over privacy and ethical implications
Some of the people who use the platforms have raised concerns about the privacy and ethical implications of using their public posts to train Meta AI. They argue that Meta did not obtain explicit consent from them to use their posts and that they have not been made aware of how their data is being used.
They also question whether Meta has done enough to ensure that Meta AI does not generate harmful or misleading content or infringe on the intellectual property rights of their original content.Â
Meta has not disclosed how many posts it has used to train Meta AI or how it plans to inform the members whose posts are used. It has also not revealed how it will handle requests from members who want to opt out of having their posts used for AI training. Meta has said that it will continue to use public posts to improve Meta AI, as well as other AI features such as AI stickers, restyle and backdrop.
Meta’s AI assistant is trained on public posts from Instagram and Facebook. This raises serious questions about the privacy and consent of the members who created those posts. Meta should be more transparent and accountable about how it uses and protects the data of its members and respect their rights and preferences as the original creators.

Kirk Cousins threw for a touchdown, Jordan Hicks returned a fumble 42 yards for a score and the Minnesota Vikings knocked Justin Fields out of the game in beating the Chicago Bears 19-13 on Sunday.
The Vikings (2-4) made enough plays without injured star receiver Justin Jefferson to shake off a loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs and win for the second time in three games.
Fields was sacked four times and exited with a right hand injury early in the third quarter, and the Bears (1-5) lost again after stopping a 14-game slide at Washington last week.
Fields seemed to be favoring his hand following a third-down sack by Danielle Hunter on Chicago’s first possession of the second half. The Bears punted, and Fields headed to the locker room.
Rookie Tyson Bagent came in and got strip-sacked by safety Josh Metellus on Chicago’s next drive. Hicks scooped up the loose ball near the left sideline and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown, making it 19-6.
Bagent — undrafted out of Division II Shepherd University — cut it to 19-13 midway through the fourth when he scored from the 1 for his first touchdown, capping a 77-yard drive.
The Bears were at the Minnesota 35 with about two minutes left in the game when Bagent underthrew DJ Moore on a deep pass. Byron Murphy Jr. picked it off at the 8, returned the ball 30 yards and recovered his fumble at the Vikings 45.

Cousins completed 21 of 31 passes for 181 yards. The four-time Pro Bowler threw a 10-yard touchdown to Jordan Addison near the end of the first half.
T.J. Hockenson caught six passes for 50 yards.
Addison, who figures to have a bigger role with Jefferson sidelined by a hamstring injury, had three receptions for 28 yards. Hunter had two of Minnesota’s five sacks, and the Vikings won their fifth in a row against Chicago.
Fields, coming off his two best games as a passer, was 6 of 10 for 58 yards and an interception. Bagent was 10 of 14 with 83 yards in his debut, and the Bears came away with the loss on a day when they paid tribute to Dick Butkus with a video and No. 51 uniform patches. It was their first home game since the Hall of Famer died on Oct. 5.
INJURIES
Vikings: LG Ezra Cleveland (foot) was hurt in the fourth quarter. … LB Marcus Davenport (ankle) exited early in the second quarter.
Bears: RG Nate Davis (ankle) exited in the first quarter. He was helped off the field when Fields fell on his leg after being hit by Metellus on a short pass.
Passwords might be one of the biggest tech frustrations. Make them too hard, and they’re impossible to remember. Too easy, and your accounts are practically wide open.
Those solutions aren’t perfect, of course. Password managers get hacked, and anyone with the know-how can access your saved browser options. No wonder tech companies are working to welcome us to a future sans passwords.
That stands for Fast IDentity Online. Big tech companies launched the industry association in 2013 to build a better system than passwords we have to keep track of and type in. Now we’re seeing more start to roll it out, and Google’s beta testing worked so well that the company just made it the standard way to protect your account.
Before we get to how to use passkeys, let’s do a deep dive into how they work.
What is a passkey, and how does it work?
A passkey is a personalized FIDO credential (like your fingerprint or face scan) that lives securely on your device. You use that instead of a username and password to unlock your accounts.
Another bonus: No more sticky notes with passwords on your monitor. Passkeys also eliminate the daily “Which password did I use here?” dilemma. Naturally, it’ll be faster and easier to log in.Â
But is it safe to use? Glad you’re asking. The unique structure of passkeys makes them near-impenetrable, unlike passwords — which are notoriously easy to crack. Since they’re stored on your local device, passkeys can’t be hacked or guessed like passwords.Â
And there’s no concern of a hacker getting their hands on one of your passwords and opening the keys to the castle since each device has its unique passkey. That’s a far cry from passwords, and studies show most people rely on only a handful of passwords for all their accounts.
If you’re sick of typing in credentials all day, you can set up passkeys with your Google account.Â
Note: Passkeys are automatically created for Google devices, but you must set them up for any other gadgets you use to access your account(s). You need to do this individually on each device you want to give access to. Remember, a passkey lives on that device, so it’s not just an account-wide setting.
Select Use passkeys, then follow the onscreen prompts.
You’ll be prompted to log in without your password in certain situations. My advice: Use biometric authentication (your fingerprint or face) anywhere you can. It’s much more secure than a PIN.
Fear not, Apple folks
You can use passkeys with your iPhone, too. These work through the iCloud Keychain. Make sure you have that turned on and 2FA enabled to use passkeys. Note: To use passkeys, iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, or tvOS 16 (or later) is required.
Depending on the website, browser or app you’re using, saving a passkey to your iPhone and iCloud Keychain usually consists of these steps:
On your iPhone, go to the sign-in screen for a supported website or app and do one of the following:
If setting up a new account: Tap the button or link for setting up new accounts, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you already have an existing account: Sign in with your account name and password, then go to the account settings or management screen.
If setting up a new account: Tap the button or link for setting up new accounts, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you already have an existing account: Sign in with your account name and password, then go to the account settings or management screen.
When you see the option to save a passkey for the account, tap Continue. Your passkey is saved.
Note: If you don’t see a passkey option, the app or website doesn’t currently support passkey.
On your iPhone, go to the website or app and tap the account name field on the sign-in screen.
Tap the suggested account name that appears at the bottom of the screen or near the top of the keyboard. If the account name doesn’t appear, or you want to use a different one, enter it.
Use Face ID or Touch ID to complete sign-in. If you didn’t set up Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone, enter your device passcode (the code you use to unlock your iPhone).
When using a device not associated with your Apple ID, you can still sign in to an account using the passkey stored on your iPhone. Here’s how:
On the other device, go to the website or app and enter your username in the account name field on the sign-in screen.
Select Other options, Passkey from anearby device, or similar, then follow the onscreen instructions to display a QR code on the screen.
Use your iPhone camera to scan the QR code.
The passkey that’s saved to iCloud Keychain completes the sign-in automatically.
Now, onward, with your safe new logins.

The S&P 500 Index nudged higher by 0.45% to record its second positive week. While the United States equities markets were a slow mover, gold witnessed a massive run-up of more than 5% this week. Its rally of 3.11% on Oct. 13 was its best one-day performance since Dec. 1 of last year. However, the Bitcoin (BTC) bulls did not have any such luck as Bitcoin is on track to end the week down more than 3%.
Bitcoin’s weakness and the regulatory overhang have kept crypto investors away from altcoins. That has kept Bitcoin’s market dominance hovering near the 50% mark for the past few days.
Market observers are likely to keep their focus on Bitcoin for the next few days. The longer the bulls sustain the price above $25,000, the greater the possibility that the next move is likely to be higher. A bullish move in Bitcoin is likely to spur buying in select altcoins as crypto investors will then sense a bull market.
Select cryptocurrencies are showing signs of forming a base. If they breakout to the upside, a new up-move may start. Let’s study the charts of the top-5 cryptocurrencies that could outperform in the near term.
Bitcoin price analysis
Bitcoin has been trading between the moving averages for the past few days, indicating indecision between the bulls and the bears about the next directional move.
Usually, a tight consolidation is followed by a range expansion. In this case, if buyers kick the price above the 20-day exponential moving average ($27,110), the BTC/USDT pair could rise to $28,143. The bears are expected to mount a strong defense at this level.Â
Alternatively, if the price turns down and dives below the 50-day simple moving average ($26,671), it will signal that bears have asserted their supremacy. The pair may first drop to $25,990 and thereafter to the pivotal support at $24,800. This level is likely to attract aggressive buying by the bulls.
BTC/USDT 4-hour chart. Source: TradingView
The pair’s recovery is facing selling at the 20-EMA on the 4-hour chart but a positive sign is that the bulls have not given up much ground. This suggests that the buyers are not rushing to the exit and are keeping up the pressure.
If the 20-EMA is taken out, the pair could first rise to the 50-SMA. This level may act as a minor barrier but if overcome, the pair could climb to $27,750 and then to $28,143.
On the contrary, if the bulls fail to pierce the 20-EMA, the sellers will sense an opportunity to pull the price lower. A dump below $26,500 could sink the pair to $26,000 and then to $24,800.
Solana price analysis
Solana (SOL) has been witnessing a tough battle between the bulls and the bears near the 20-day EMA ($21.77). This suggests that the bulls are trying to flip this level into support.
SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
There is a minor resistance at $22.50 but if this level is crossed, the SOL/USDT pair could rise to the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders pattern. A break and close above this resistance will complete the bullish setup. Buyers may face a stiff resistance at $27.12 but if this hurdle is cleared, the pair could surge to the target objective at $32.81.
This positive view will be negated in the near term if the price turns down and plunges below the 50-day SMA ($20.50). That could start a descent toward $18.58 and then to $15.33.
After trading between the moving averages for some time, the price resolved to the downside with a break below the 20-EMA. This indicates that the bears may remain in control. The pair could first fall to $20.93 and if this level also cracks, the pair may collapse to $20.
Conversely, if the price fails to sustain below the 20-EMA, it will suggest solid buying at lower levels. The first sign of strength will be a break and close above the 50-SMA. That could open the doors for a rally to $23.50 and then to the neckline of the inverse H&S pattern.
Lido DAO price analysis
Lido DAO (LDO) has been trading near the moving averages for the past few days, indicating that the bears may be losing their grip.
LDO/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The moving averages have flattened out and the RSI has jumped into the positive territory, indicating that the bulls are attempting a comeback. The immediate resistance on the upside is $1.73. If this level is scaled, the LDO/USDT pair could climb to the downtrend line. This level is again likely to witness a tough battle between the bulls and the bears.
Contrarily, if the price turns down and skids below the moving averages, it will suggest that the bears are in command and are selling on every minor rally. The pair may then retest the vital support at $1.38.
The 20-EMA has started to turn up on the 4-hour chart and the RSI is in the positive area, indicating that bulls have the upper hand. There is a minor resistance at $1.63 but it is likely to be crossed. The pair could then rise to $1.73.
If bears want to weaken the bullish momentum, they will have to quickly drag the price back below the moving averages. The pair could then slump to the $1.45 to $1.50 support zone.
Internet Computer (ICP) has been consolidating in a tight range between $2.86 and $3.35 for the past several days.
ICP/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The RSI has formed a positive divergence, indicating that the selling pressure is reducing. The ICP/USDT pair could next reach the overhead resistance at $3.35. A break and close above this level will signal a potential trend change. The first target on the upside is $4 and then $4.50.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price turns down from $3.35, it will suggest that the pair may extend its stay inside the range for some more time. A slide below $2.86 will indicate the resumption of the downtrend.
ICP/USDT 4-hour chart. Source: TradingView
The moving averages have completed a bullish crossover and the RSI is in the overbought zone on the 4-hour chart. This indicates that the buyers have the upper hand. The pair is likely to reach the overhead resistance at $3.35 where the bears may to pose a strong challenge.
If the price turns down from $3.35, the consolidation may continue for a while longer. On the other hand, if buyers kick the price above $3.35, it will indicate that the bulls are in charge. The pair may then soar to $3.74 and later to the pattern target of $3.84.
VeChain price analysis
VeChain (VET) has been trading inside a descending triangle for the past few days. Although this is a negative pattern, the price has been clinging to the downtrend line for the past few days, which is a positive sign.
VET/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The moving averages have flattened out and the RSI is near the midpoint, indicating that the bearish pressure may be reducing. Buyers will try to propel the price above the downtrend line. If they succeed, it will invalidate the negative setup. That could start a new up-move toward $0.021.
Instead, if the price turns down from the current level, it will suggest that bears continue to defend the downtrend line with vigor. The bears will then again try to pull the price to the critical support at $0.014.
The 4-hour chart shows that the price has been trading inside the falling wedge pattern. Buyers are trying to push and sustain the price above the 50-SMA. If they do that, the VET/USDT pair could reach the downtrend line of the wedge. A break and close above the wedge could start a new up-move.
The bears are unlikely to give up easily. They will aggressively defend the zone between the 50-SMA and the downtrend line. If the price turns down sharply and slides below the 20-EMA, it will indicate that the pair may remain inside the wedge for some more time.

As the Israeli army prepares for a full-scale invasion of Gaza, they are relying on the D9R armored bulldozer, affectionately known as Doobi,” or “Teddy Bear.”
The nickname comes from the Hebrew acronym for armored mechanical engineering equipment (TZMEDA), which sounds like “doobi.” The D9R is also known as “דובי” in Hebrew, which means “teddy bear.”Â
This nickname reflects the affection and respect that the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) have for this powerful and reliable machine, which often saves their lives in combat situations.
A powerful and protective bulldozer for military operations
This robust vehicle is essential for navigating the narrow streets, extensive tunnel networks, booby traps, and sniper positions in the urban environment.
It is also capable of detonating mines and improvised explosive devices, as well as demolishing obstacles in its path. With its ability to withstand guns and explosives, the D9R ensures the safe advancement of infantry.

The D9R is designed and manufactured by Caterpillar. It is equipped with specialized features such as added armor and a reinforced blade, which enable it to perform various engineering and combat operations. With the blade, it measures 27.03 feet long and 15.3 feet wide and weighs 62 tons.
The bulldozer used by the Israeli army is the D9R made by Caterpillar.
A versatile and enhanced bulldozer with multiple attachments and upgrades
The IDF Caterpillar D9 is a modified version of the D9R bulldozer, designed and manufactured by Caterpillar. It is equipped with various attachments, such as a mounted machine gun, grenade launcher, or smoke projector, enhancing its combat capabilities.
Upgrades like “slat armor” were added in 2015 to provide increased protection against rocket-propelled grenades and other threats. The IDF Caterpillar D9 can handle a variety of tasks, including digging trenches, building bridges and constructing defensive structures.
Additionally, a remotely operated version called the D9R Panda was introduced in 2018 for more hostile environments.
While the exact cost of an IDF Caterpillar D9 is uncertain, a new Cat D9 bulldozer without additional upgrades is priced at around $1 million.

As Israel moves on its assault on Gaza, the D9R, with its reinforced blade and slat armor, will serve as a nearly impervious force against bullets and explosives. It will surely play a vital role in breaching defensive lines, including mines and tunnels, as well as combating Hamas’ resistance.
Kurt’s key takeaways
The D9R is not only a machine but also a symbol of Israel’s military might and determination. As the conflict in Gaza escalates, the D9R will continue to be at the forefront of Israel’s offensive ground strategy.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was penalized on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals when he unnecessarily shoved defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt.
It appeared Metcalf was frustrated with the play on offense and took it out on the cornerback. Metcalf ran down the field looking for the ball with Taylor-Britt guarding him. As the defender ran back toward the ball, Metcalf came over from behind and gave him a big shove.
