The Patriots quarterback failed to throw a touchdown pass despite completing 27 of his 35 passes for 274 yards, and rushed for just 16 yards over 10 carries in the Patriots’ 30-27 comeback win on the road against their AFC East rivals. However, two of those carries resulted in crucial rushing touchdowns. Newton rushed for a five-yard score with 3:34 left in the first quarter to give the Patriots a 7-3 lead, before adding a one-yard touchdown run to level the score at 27 with 3:53 left in the fourth....

Do the benefits to Cambodians outweigh the costs and risks of going abroad? Many people—including labor organizers, civil society groups and even some government officials—think not, largely because of the potential for abuse. In recent years the Cambodian government has been making an effort to stem the largely illicit tide of workers who seek their fortunes beyond the frontier. Still, it’s not clear how far this flurry of paperwork and diplomacy will go to reduce exploitation....

Young’s performance on the course was certainly strong, but his performance off it may have been just as good. After his round, Young was asked an odd question about his rise to prominence on the PGA Tour. Specifically, the reporter referenced Young going from “the streets of New York” to being a contender at another major championship. “Cameron, a Fordham prep school in the Bronx isn’t especially known for producing professional golfers, maybe more basketball players,” the reporter said, per Andy Johnson....

Clinton, in her victory speech in Columbus after a 54 percent to 44 percent triumph, made it clear she wasn’t going anywhere and twice referred to Ohio’s historical status as a state that successful presidential candidates must win. “You know how the saying goes: ‘As Ohio goes, so goes the nation,’” she told her supporters. “Well, this nation’s coming back and so is this campaign. … For everyone here in America and in Ohio who’s ever been counted out but refused to be knocked down … this one’s for you....

The former Gunners defender, who is now an ambassador for the club, claims Arsene Wenger came close to reaching an agreement in the past. ‘Wenger lucky to inherit famous five’ Kante has, however, been allowed to benefit the respective causes of Premier League rivals instead of that at Emirates Stadium, with Leicester tasting title success with the Frenchman at the heart of their side last season and Chelsea looking to do the same this term....

A new study published in Frontiers in Neurology reported the results of a mobile phone-based therapy trial where two-thirds of participants showed significant improvement in their tinnitus symptoms. “For some people, it was more a case of the tinnitus sound becoming more innocuous and easier to ignore, but others actually reported experiencing silence for the first time in years,” Phil Sanders, PhD, an audiology research fellow at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and senior author of the study, told Verywell....

Game of the Week Bengals at Patriots (Sunday 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC). The Patriots aren’t supposed to lose games like this. These days, the Bengals are supposed to win games likes this. It’s Tom Brady, he of three Super Bowl rings and place in Canton. It’s Andy Dalton, he of three playoff trips and no playoff wins. But this isn’t about Brady vs. Dalton. It’s about the Patriots’ major offensive line struggles around Brady against the swarming Bengals defense....

They are often by our side for many years, which would suggest they may have learned a thing or two about humans. Scientists have done copious studies into whether dogs can actually tell if we are sad, lonely, happy or unwell, and it seems over time our pets have developed some intuition. Canines may be able to sense everything from danger to their owners’ mood changes - but can they tell if a human is injured or sick?...

“If Trump still had his Twitter account, he may Tweet-fire this lawyer on the spot,” Seung Min Kim, a White House reporter for The Washington Post, quipped on the social media site. Experts told Newsweek that Trump could very likely fire his impeachment attorneys midtrial, but that it would probably cause only more harm. “Of course he can fire his attorneys,” said Nick Akerman, a Watergate prosecutor in the case that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon....

‘Wenger is up there with Ferguson’ Pep Guardiola is an example of a coach who has regularly got the better of Wenger whenever they have faced each oher, just as Sir Alex Ferguson did in the final years of his reign at Manchester United, and as Jose Mourinho does, particularly during his time at Chelsea. Guardiola and Wenger have faced each other in nine competitive games in their managerial careers, and the Catalan has come out on top in five of those meetings, with just two wins for Wenger....

For the nation’s fourth biggest company, times have never been tougher. Despite cutting 100,000 jobs in three years, closing plants and abandoning a cherished commitment to lifetime employment, IBM lost $5 billion in 1992, and the computer industry’s brutal price wars make more red ink likely this year. But if Gerstner expected to be greeted as a savior, he was in for a rude surprise: on Wednesday, when word of his selection appeared in The Wall Street Journal, investors trashed IBM’s already depressed stock, knocking 6 percent from IBM’s market value....

“We’re certainly not going to insert ourselves in what’s happening on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this week. “He was a senator, he understands how this process works, and he’s just not going to insert himself, he’s going to let the process play out and continue to do the work of the American people,” she added. Procedurally, there’s nothing Biden can do, per the House rules....

As the world replayed the video clips of the devastating explosion, captured from nearly every imaginable cinematic angle and range, the death toll rose as the wounded flooded overwhelmed and damaged hospitals. Although the search for survivors continues, the death toll has risen above 130 with more than 4,000 injured from the blast felt across the country. The blast exacerbates the situation in an already strained country where the economy’s continuing collapse and soaring inflation rate have led to empty grocery store shelves and daily power cuts tied to a growing fuel shortage....

While it’s a bit early to start ordering champagne and planning parade routes, it is worth looking at how teams in the recent past have fared after starting the season in a similar fashion. Since 1990, six other clubs have gone 7-0. We examined how each team performed after the hot start, what led to the success, and whether it had what it took to win in October.

That’s left the Raptors with a wide agenda here in the offseason. They’re still coach-hunting, but the consensus around the league has been that making a shuffle in the coaching staff alone is not going to solve all the Raptors’ woes. If the team comes back with the same personnel, they’re not likely to get much better next year. But the way the Raptors’ payroll is constructed, the options available for a move this offseason will be limited....

“Vaccine passports,” a means of proving a person’s vaccination status, have been floated as a way of increasing capacity at certain events as America crawls toward normalcy. President Joe Biden’s administration doesn’t have any current plans to implement them at a nationwide level, but even the prospect of the measure prompted criticism for it being an invasion of people’s privacy and an infringement on a person’s ability to choose whether to get vaccinated....
