ATLANTA (AP) — Even when grappling with a four-game losing streak and the uncertainty generated by quarterback Kirk Cousins’ eight interceptions and no touchdown passes in that span, there is some solace for the Atlanta Falcons.

Vikings special teams coordinator Matt Daniels knows he can only hold on to young players who are developing as part of his unit for so long. Rookie linebacker Bo Richter is one Daniels is cherishing while he can. “He continues to excel in his role,” Daniels said Tuesday at TCO Performance Center. “Surely enough, this is usually how it goes. You just keep dominating, keep having an impact on special teams, and surely enough you’ll mature and ‘Coach Hat’ [Daniels’ nickname] will be sending you on your way to go do bigger and better things on defense. “And that’s where he’s heading.” Richter, a undrafted free agent signing out of Air Force, made one of a pair of standout positive special teams plays for the Vikings in their overtime win against the Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field. Those plays were negated by the Bears late in an 11-point comeback to tie the score in the final seconds of regulation. Richter, who the Vikings signed as an undrafted free agent this spring, fell on a muffed punt recovery in the third quarter to set up a five-play, 15-yard scoring drive. Chicago return man DeAndre Carter waved for teammates to move out of the way but was struck by the ball himself, allowing Richter to recover it and the Vikings to regain possession. The Vikings had two other punt recoveries off muffs earlier this season that led to no points. “I was just finally glad that we finally got a muffed punt,” Daniels said. “I was just praying and hoping that ball didn’t roll out of bounds. It was good for him to get on that.” Earlier, in the second quarter, Vikings defensive lineman Jerry Tillery blocked a 48-yard field-goal attempt by Cairo Santos. Brian Asamoah recovered and returned it 22 yards. Daniels said blocking field goals has been a post-practice emphasis in recent weeks, and he felt the line quickly got off the ball and was able to penetrate deep into the Bears backfield, making it easier for Tillery to get a hand on the ball. The special teams success dwindled late in the game, with the Vikings giving up two big plays on kickoffs to hand Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and company prime field position to tie the score. Carter made up for his earlier mistake with a 55-yard kickoff return that kick-started the Bears’ comeback. Daniels said the intent was for Parker Romo to boot the ball into or out of the end zone on the kickoff, but Romo slightly toeing it into shifting winds hung up the ball. Carter caught it inside the 5-yard line, took off just outside the left hash and shook off four defenders before being brought down by outside linebacker Dallas Turner at the Vikings’ 40-yard line. “At the end of the day, we just gotta do a great job of defeating blocks,” Daniels said. “That’s what it boils down to, and that starts with me making sure I’m emphasizing it during the week.” Then, after the Bears scored eight plays later and added a two-point conversion to make the score 27-24 with 29 seconds left, an onside kick by Santos hit the back of tight end Johnny Mundt’s foot and the Bears recovered. Santos’ 48-yard field goal as time expired sent the game to overtime. Some redemption for the special teams unit came when Romo nailed a 29-yard field goal to win the game in overtime; long snapper Jake McQuaide made sure to retrieve the winning ball for Romo amid the celebration. Daniels pointed out that Romo, who the Vikings signed Nov. 5 when starting kicker Will Reichard moved to injury reserve because of a quad injury, has been tested in his first few weeks of NFL action. “This is gonna be the first time he actually gets to hit indoors,” Daniels said of Sunday’s game against the Cardinals at U.S. Bank Stadium. “He’s hit basically three outside road games.”

Yoon sent special forces and helicopters to parliament on the night of December 3 before lawmakers forced him to rescind the order by rejecting his decree. The unpopular leader narrowly survived an impeachment motion in parliament Saturday even as huge crowds braved freezing temperatures to call for his ouster. Despite remaining in office, a clutch of investigations has been closing in on Yoon and his close allies, including a probe for alleged insurrection. The ministry of justice confirmed on Monday that Yoon had become the first sitting South Korean president to be banned from leaving the country. A lawmaker was asked at a Monday parliamentary hearing whether Yoon had been banned from international travel. "Yes, that's right," replied Bae Sang-up, an immigration services commissioner at the ministry. Also under travel bans for their roles in last week's events are former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun -- currently in detention -- and ex-interior minister Lee Sang-min. General Park An-su, the officer in charge of the martial law operation, and defence counterintelligence commander Yeo In-hyung are also barred from leaving South Korea. Investigators hauled Park in for further questioning Monday, and Yonhap news agency reported that prosecutors had asked for a warrant for Kim's formal arrest. The impeachment push failed to pass after members of Yoon's own People Power Party (PPP) walked out of parliament, depriving it of the necessary two-thirds majority. The PPP says that in exchange, the 63-year-old Yoon has agreed to hand power to the prime minister and party chief, prompting howls of protest from the opposition. "This is an unlawful, unconstitutional act of a second insurrection and a second coup," Democratic Party floor leader Park Chan-dae said. Under South Korea's constitution, the president remains head of government and commander in chief of the army unless he or she is incapacitated, resigns or steps down. In such a case, power would then be handed to the prime minister on an interim basis until elections could be held. Claiming Yoon can remain in office but has delegated his powers to the prime minister and leader of his ruling PPP -- who is not an elected official -- is "a blatant constitutional violation with no legal basis", Park said. "Their attitude of placing themselves above the constitution mirrors that of insurrectionist Yoon Suk Yeol," he said. South Korea's ally the United States indicated it would still deal with Yoon but said it "will keep lines of communication open with all relevant parties". "President Yoon is the president of Korea, and the political process in Korea will play out, as it should, under Korea's laws and Korea's constitution," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. The defence ministry confirmed Monday that the embattled Yoon still oversees the country's security apparatus, despite the apparent power vacuum in a country that remains technically at war with nuclear-armed North Korea. "Legally, (control of military forces) currently lies with the commander in chief," defence ministry spokesperson Jeon Ha-kyou said. Yoon has apologised for "anxiety and inconvenience" caused by his declaration of martial law but has not stepped down, saying instead he would entrust decisions about his fate to his party. He also said he would accept all political and legal responsibility for the martial law fiasco. There is no constitutional basis supporting the ruling party's claim that Yoon can stay in office but hand over his power to unelected party officials, said Kim Hae-won, a constitutional law professor at Pusan National University Law School. "It seems to resemble an unconstitutional soft coup," he told AFP. "If there are issues with the president, there are ways laid out in the constitution such as suspending the president from his duties, and then move on to proceedings set out in the constitution, such as impeachment," he said. The opposition has already said they would try again to impeach Yoon, with leader Lee Jae-myung saying another vote would be held Saturday. burs-stu/ceb/bgs-sct/mlm

Tech billionaire and X owner Elon Musk added his voice of support for child safety legislation championed by the bipartisan duo of Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). The two lawmakers worked with X to release an updated version of the Kids Online Safety Act over the weekend after House Republican leadership was critical of the bill's potential First Amendment infringement. However, House GOP leadership has not yet signaled it would bring a House floor vote before Congress wraps up for the year. "Led by X, the new changes made to the Kids Online Safety Act strengthen the bill while safeguarding free speech online and ensuring it is not used to stifle expression,” the senators said in a joint statement. "These changes should eliminate once and for all the false narrative that this bill would be weaponized by unelected bureaucrats to censor Americans." MEET THE NEW CONGRESS: THE HOUSE AND SENATE FRESHMEN ELECTED TO SERVE NEXT YEAR "After working with the bill authors, I’m proud to share that we’ve made progress to further protect freedom of speech while maintaining safety for minors online," Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, said. In response, Musk said, "Protecting kids should always be priority #1." Musk is set to have a powerful perch in President-elect Donald Trump's second administration as the co-chairman of the Department of Government Efficiency. His support for certain legislation may have some sway over Republicans eager to appease Trump. Other high-profile conservatives have weighed in support of the new legislation, including Donald Trump Jr., who has growing influence over his father's new administration. "We can protect free speech and our kids at the same time from Big Tech. It's time for House Republicans to pass the Kids Online Safety Act ASAP," he wrote on X. The Senate version of KOSA and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act both sailed through the upper chamber in a 91-3 vote at the end of July, but House GOP leadership criticized KOSA as violating free speech and First Amendment rights. In October, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told Punchbowl News, “I love the principle, but the details of that are very problematic." House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) has also signaled opposition against the legislation. Although the Senate nearly passed the bill unanimously, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) came out vehemently against the latest version of the legislation after it was announced on Saturday. "KOSA poses such a dire threat to our First Amendment rights that House and Senate leadership must not agree to add it at the last minute to larger pieces of legislation, like the Defense or government spending bills," he wrote on X. The updated version of KOSA would not allow the FTC or any state attorney general the ability to file lawsuits challenging content on social media websites, a change from the previous version of the bill. The legislation largely focuses on requiring social media and tech companies to protect children and teenagers from dangerous content and addictive features. It would also legally require a “duty of care” for companies to prevent and mitigate against the promotion of suicide, sexual exploitation, eating disorders, substance abuse, and advertisements for illegal products. Several mental health and children advocacy groups have supported the bill, along with the American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. WHAT IS THE DEBATE OVER FLUORIDE IN DRINKING WATER Blackburn and Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), a champion of the House KOSA bill, are leading a press conference Tuesday morning, along with advocates, at the Capitol to pressure the House to pass KOSA. "Congressman Bilirakis is optimistic that Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and the CEO of X’s recent public statements in support of KOSA will help build the momentum that is needed to propel this critical legislation to protect children across the finish line this term," spokeswoman Summer Blevins told the Washington Examiner. "The congressman is committed to continuing to work with all stakeholders to get this done." The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced KOSA out of committee in September, but whether it will be added to the end-of-year spending bills remains to be seen. Last month, the Institute of Family Studies was among the conservative groups that sent a letter to House leadership pushing for the passage of KOSA. The group is pleased by X's support for the bill. "It is encouraging to see that Yaccarino and Musk remain fully supportive of this measure. We applaud them for this courageous stance and hope their peers will step forward and do the same," Michael Toscano, the executive director of the Institute for Family Studies, told the Washington Examiner. If the House does take up KOSA and it passes, this would be the first time since 1998 that the federal government has enacted a law to protect children on the internet. President Joe Biden has indicated support of the bill and would likely sign it into law, but whether Republicans are willing to hand the president a last-minute victory before leaving office is unclear. “Every day that goes by without KOSA passing, more children are dying," Blackburn said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "The endorsement by free speech champions Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr., along with the revised text, reflects the truth that this bill will protect kids online and protect freedom of speech. It’s time to stop playing politics and pass KOSA.”
