Not bad,” Trump said during a three-yard run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. When asked why he enjoys attending sporting events, Trump — who was also at the Super Bowl in February — said sports is a microcosm of life.“You have the triumph and you have the problems, and you have to get through the problems to hit the triumphs,” the President said.Trump’s appearance at the game came on the heels of an ESPN report that the President wants the Commanders’ new stadium named after him.Washington currently plays at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, which has been the team’s home since 1997. The Commanders played at RFK Stadium from 1961 through 1996, winning three Super Bowls during that time period. The demolition of the stadium began earlier this year. In April, Washington owner Josh Harris, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and Washington D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser announced the Commanders would return to the nation’s capital in a new stadium at the RFK site. The new structure will cost at least $3.7 billion, $2.7 billion of which will be paid by the team. The district will pay $1 billion, while the team will be responsible for any cost overruns.

And you have a wonderful owner, Josh and his group, and you’re going to see some very good things.” The president was also asked how feels the country is doing amid the government shutdown that entered its 40th day on Sunday. Trump said things are “great.”“People have spirit. Our stock market hit an all time high. Prices are coming down,” he said. “We inherited a mess. Prices are coming way down. And I’ll tell you, our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it, which is a record. So we’re doing great.” Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.

Oct. 27, 2025, 6:00 AM EDTBy Rohan NadkarniWhen the Kansas City Chiefs started the season 1-2, many were quick to cast doubt on the contending capabilities of the reigning AFC champions — NBC News included. So, in the interest of fairness, it deserves to be noted: Since Week 4, the Chiefs’ offense is finally starting to resemble what it did during the heights of their dynastic run. And that should terrify the rest of the league. Entering Week 8, Kansas City ranked sixth in points per game, which would be the team’s best mark since 2022 when it finished first in scoring. Before this week’s slate of games, the Chiefs were fifth in yards per game, also their best since 2022.After finishing near the middle of the pack in both scoring and yardage a year ago, Kansas City is starting to get hot. Patrick Mahomes has his best passer rating since 2022, and is also on pace for his most passing touchdowns since that season. The Chiefs have also scored at least 28 points in each of their last four games — the first time they’ve done so since 2021.“We have a lot of weapons. We have a lot of guys and they all love each other, and they want each other to succeed,” Mahomes said after a 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. “We want to be better than what we are now, but this was a good step in the right direction.”More from SportsFormer Jets center Nick Mangold dies at 41, less than 2 weeks after announcing he had kidney diseaseLSU wanted its coach gone. It could cost $54 million.‘Nightmare for the league’: Gambling scandal roils the NBAA big reason for Kansas City’s success has been the improved play of its pass catchers. Despite the Chiefs spending the fifth-lowest amount on their receivers this year, that group has started to exceed expectations. Per ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, over the first three weeks of the season, only 46% of Kansas City’s passes were thrown to open receivers. Beginning in Week 4, that number increased to 62.7% after the win over the Raiders, the best mark in the NFL. Against Las Vegas, the Chiefs received another boost with the return of receiver Rashee Rice, who missed the first six games of the season due to a suspension as a result of an April 2024 arrest.A second-round pick in 2023, Rice was sensational as a rookie, catching 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. But he played in only four games last year before undergoing season-ending surgery on his knee. In his first action of the season in Week 7, Rice had seven catches for 42 yards and two scores.“I thought the whole receiving crew did a nice job, but it was great to have him back,” head coach Andy Reid said after the Raiders win. “The energy he brings is just tremendous.”If the recent offensive surge is sustainable, then Kansas City is a much more dangerous team than it showed early in the season. The defense has been spectacular in its own right, ranking fourth in total yards allowed and third in points per game allowed entering Week 8.Even though the Chiefs would only be in seventh place in the AFC with a win over the Washington Commanders on Monday, they appear to be peaking as we enter the second half of the NFL season. “We’re going to get even more and more in sync with having the full arsenal,” tight end Travis Kelce said following the return of Rice in Week 7. “As long as we keep playing unselfish and getting excited for each other, the sky’s the limit for this group.”Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 13, 2025, 10:49 AM ESTBy Rebecca Cohen and Jay BlackmanPresident Donald Trump on Wednesday night signed a bill that reopened the government after 43 days, paving the way for airlines to restore regular flight schedules and air traffic controllers, who have not been receiving pay as they worked through the shutdown, to return to work.But it remains unclear when full flight schedules and paychecks will be restored after the Federal Aviation Administration was forced to mandate flight restrictions at 40 high-traffic airports last week. On Wednesday night, the FAA ordered that cancellations would remain at 6% on Thursday, after two days at that rate and an initial plan to ramp up to 10% by Friday. As of Thursday morning, nearly 1,000 flights within the U.S. had already been canceled for the day, and more than 900 were delayed, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. On Wednesday, only 900 flights were canceled — the lowest number since the FAA flight reductions began. It is not immediately clear if the flight disruptions were all connected to staffing issues. Airlines have said they are ready to ramp up as soon as they receive government clearance, which includes the FAA lifting the mandate on flight restrictions. And as soon as enough air traffic controllers return to work, ensuring that the increased number of planes can fly safely.“As the federal government reopens and controllers receive their backpay, the FAA will continue to monitor staffing levels and review key trend lines,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a Wednesday statement.It’s promising that staffing triggers have decreased in the last few days, after weeks when controllers were calling out “stressed” under the pressure of working without knowing when their next paycheck would arrive. Government officials have said that air traffic controllers are expected to receive about 70% of their missed pay within 48 hours of the government reopening, with the remaining 30% coming within the week.Airlines cannot cancel and then un-cancel flights, so they need every puzzle piece to fall into place before the schedule returns to normalcy.Delta CEO Ed Bastian said on CNBC on Wednesday that he thinks flights will return to normal by the weekend. Southwest said in its statement, “We’re optimistic that the FAA will allow airlines to resume normal operations within a few days.”Fortunately, fears of an especially messy Thanksgiving travel week — when 31 million Americans are set to fly — have been thwarted, as airlines are ready to go more quickly than previously thought.Even when flights are operating at 100% again, however, the issue of understaffing at air traffic control locations nationwide remains.The industry still needs more than 3,000 air traffic controllers to fill staffing gaps and ensure that employees — many of whom were already working six-day workweeks before the government shutdown — can return to business as usual.“When the government is funded again nothing will change at BNA,” said Garld Graves, a retired air traffic controller with 28 years of experience, referring to Nashville International Airport“What the agency has been doing because of the shutdown — cutting flights, approving staffing triggers — is something that should have been happening all along at places that are short staffed,” he told NBC News.He said he hopes that the FAA and Duffy “will continue to argue, fuss and fight, like they have promised during the shutdown, to create better opportunities to improve staffing levels and give controllers what they deserve.”Airlines for America, the trade association representing major U.S. airlines, echoed Graves’ wishes and called on Congress to “ensure future funding bills do not allow aviation to become collateral damage in Washington’s policy debates.”“The FAA’s Airport and Airway Trust Fund currently has $5 billion that could be used to pay air traffic controllers during future shutdowns,” the organization said in a statement. “We ask Congress to consider legislation that would implement a long-term solution.”Rebecca CohenRebecca Cohen is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.Jay BlackmanJay Blackman is an NBC News producer covering such areas as transportation, space, medical and consumer issues.
