Aaron Rodgers bails out Packers late with stunning comeback
Instead, we’ll be able to come back to a familiar refrain: Aaron Rodgers still gives the Packers a chance to win. Rodgers drove the Packers 58 yards in 1:05 in the final three minutes of the game for a game-tying score. Rodgers stared down a blitz and hit Davante Adams on a gorgeous stutter-go for a 16-yard touchdown. The Packers had only won once since then, their season entering the brink with the late deficit to the 49ers. Rodgers then hit Davante Adams for 8 yards and rookie Equanimeous St. Brown on a beautiful 19-yarder to stop the clock.

Sears, the once-mighty US retailer, files for bankruptcy
Sears Holdings Corporation, also the parent company for Kmart, which merged with Sears in 2005, said in a statement it had filed for bankruptcy protection in Manhattan. Edward Lampert, chairman of Sears Holdings, said the insolvency filing would give the company the "flexibility to strengthen its balance sheet" and enable it to accelerate a strategic transformation. Sears Holdings had 89,000 employees as of February, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission -- down from almost 350,000 a decade ago -- with 547 Sears and 432 Kmart stores. Sears added it had received commitments for $300 million in debtor-in-possession financing and was negotiating for an additional $300 million. Sears is far from the only iconic retailer to fall by the wayside as more consumers switch to shopping online.

Paul Allen, Microsoft’s co-founder, is dead at 65
The term personal computer would become commonplace later. Yet the company’s big move came when it promised computer giant IBM that it would deliver the operating system software for IBM’s entry into the personal computer business. But Allen was instrumental in putting together a deal to buy an early operating system from a programmer in Seattle. The machine lacked software, and Allen and Gates, showing up at the MITS offices, promised that they could supply it. Paul Gardener Allen was born in Seattle on Jan. 21, 1953, to Kenneth and Edna (Faye) Allen.

Hub Arkush: Bears not quite as bad at Miami as we thought
If the Bears make the tackles they needed to on those two plays, there’s no OT, Miami has 311 yards of offense instead of 541, and the Bears win, 28-13. As groups, they were probably defensive line C+, linebackers B- and secondary C+. The offensive line was a C in the first half, B to B+ in the second. His numbers say B+ or A-, but when you factor in the first half, he was a B or B- at best. Everybody’s entitled to a bad day, and unfortunately Nagy had himself one in Miami: a C or a C- at best.

Dak Prescott shows running ability in win
ARLINGTON, Texas – Typically, you wouldn’t expect to open the quarterback’s postgame press conference with a question about his running ability. When the quarterback’s running ability helps fuel the offense to 378 total yards and 40 points, though, you can make an exception. Heading into this game, Prescott had never carried the ball more than eight times in a game, and his single-game high was just 45 yards. By the third quarter, it looked too easy, as Prescott spun out of a pressure, broke contain and galloped 28 easy yards. It seems unlikely Prescott has a ton of uncontested 17 and 28-yard runs in his future.

Chicago Bears tackling missing in action
By any account, the tackling was atrocious and a major reason the Bears were gouged for 541 total yards in the 31-28 overtime loss to the Dolphins. After missing a combined 15 tackles in their first four games, the Bears were charted by Pro Football Focus as missing 19 Sunday in Miami. “A lot of missed tackles,” admitted S Eddie Jackson. “This is probably the worst game we’ve played on the defensive side of the ball all year – missed tackles and (bad) fundamentals. Getting the ball out quickly and throwing shorter routes was the Dolphins’ plan, and the Bears didn’t have a solution.

US judge dismisses Stormy Daniels defamation lawsuit against Trump

Swajan Paribahan, BRTC, Samorita Hospital share liabilities in Rajib death: Panel
The bench of Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Md Khairul Alam in an order on Monday said the hearing on the rules on Rajib’s death, issued in May, will start on Nov 14. The High Court formed the committee to assess the liabilities in Rajib’s death following an Appellate Division order. In the 49-page report, the committee said Samorita Hospital cannot shirk its liabilities because it delayed starting treatment of the student, leading to his death. It also said both BRTC and Swajan Paribahan share responsibilities because they had put ineligible drivers, who had licence to drive light vehicles, behind the wheel. Lawyer Ruhul Quddus, following whose writ petition the High Court issued the orders and rules, said the committee did not find Rajib at fault for the deadly incident.
