Nov. 23, 2025, 6:19 PM ESTBy Andrew GreifOn their way to a Super Bowl appearance last season, the Kansas City Chiefs could do no wrong in close games, posting an 12-0 record in games decided by one score or less. Yet they entered Week 12 of the NFL season just 5-5 and facing the possibility of having a losing record through 11 games for the first time since 2012 because the Chiefs were no longer the league’s best team in the clutch — 0-5 in one-score games.That changed, finally, Sunday against Indianapolis. Trailing by as many as 11 points with a minute left in the third quarter, the Chiefs scored the final 14 points to beat the Colts in overtime, 23-20. The win gives Kansas City (6-5) a 59 percent chance to make the postseason; a loss would have dropped that likelihood to 31 percent, according to NFL statistics.”This is exactly what we needed,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “…Everybody made plays when we needed it.”The narrow win would not have happened without a defensive turnaround. After allowing the Colts (8-3) to score four times on their first six drives, the Chiefs held them scoreless on their final four possessions, all four of which ended in three-and-out and produced just 13 yards combined.The circumstances suggested the defensive stand was unlikely. Though Kansas City ranked eighth-best this season in defensive points added, and sixth-best on EPA allowed on dropbacks in the fourth quarter and overtime, Indianapolis posed perhaps their most difficult offensive challenge of the season, and led the NFL in yards per game. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor entered the game leading the NFL in rushing yards, touchdown runs and total touchdowns. But Taylor finished with a season-low 66 yards from scrimmage. And Indianapolis went nowhere over the fourth quarter and overtime even though they weren’t affected by the issues that had cooled their hot start. Quarterback Daniel Jones committed three turnovers and was sacked nine times in his first eight games, but in his last three games had seven turnovers and 12 sacks. The Chiefs didn’t get a single turnover, or sack, but still held the Colts to 11 points lower than their NFL-leading season average.Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo “had a great plan defensively against one of the best offenses in the National Football League,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Kansas City has made the playoffs 10 consecutive seasons, the second-longest streak in NFL history. Continuing it was in jeopardy with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter when Kansas City got the ball back backed up only two yards from its own end zone. When quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Rashee Rice for a 47-yard gain, it increased the Chiefs’ probability of winning by more than 20 percent, per the NFL.”You could feel the energy of the defense, of the stadium, and it was kind of that, ‘We’re not going to lose this game,'” Mahomes said. “We’re going to find a way to win, even though not everything has gone our way to this moment, we’re going to find a way.”Andrew GreifAndrew Greif is a sports reporter for NBC News Digital.

Oct. 6, 2025, 5:00 AM EDT / Updated Oct. 6, 2025, 8:02 PM EDTBy Sahil Kapur, Julie Tsirkin and Frank Thorp VWASHINGTON — The U.S. government shutdown entered its sixth day Monday with no end in sight after the Senate yet again rejected competing bills proposed by Republicans and Democrats to reopen the government.The vote on the Democratic bill was 45-50, while the final tally on the GOP measure was 52-42, with neither reaching the 60-vote threshold to break a filibuster and advance for final passage.One hour before the vote, President Donald Trump left senators flummoxed after he claimed that there were negotiations taking place on health care. The central Democratic demand in the standoff is to extend expiring Obamacare funds.”We have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things. And I’m talking about good things with regard to health care,” Trump told reporters.Asked specifically whether he’s speaking to Democratic leaders, Trump replied: “I don’t want to say that. But we are speaking with the Democrats. But some very good things could happen with respect to health care.”But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., quickly shot down Trump’s claim that negotiations are happening.“Trump’s claim isn’t true — but if he’s finally ready to work with Democrats, we’ll be at the table,” Schumer said in a statement. “For months, Democrats have been calling on Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans to come to the table and work with us to deliver lower costs and better health care for the American people.”We’d like to hear from you about how you’re experiencing the government shutdown, whether you’re a federal employee who can’t work right now or someone who is feeling the effects of shuttered services in your everyday life. Please contact us at tips@nbcuni.com or reach out to us here.Republicans similarly said they’re unaware of any bipartisan negotiations taking place on health care.”I’m not aware of any,” Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, the chair of the Finance Committee, which oversees health care, told NBC News. “I think Sen. Thune made it very clear: We’ll talk about it if we get out of the government shutdown.”Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said that it’s “good” if Trump is open to extending Obamacare money, but no such talks were happening yet.”But that’s still not going to happen until we actually get this government open,” Rounds said.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has not committed to extending the Obamacare money, saying it’s a discussion he’s open to having — but only if Democrats relent and reopen the government.“Release the hostage. We’ll have that conversation,” Thune said on Fox News. “That is a program, by the way, that is desperately in need of reform. You cannot just extend it, flat extend it. It is too flawed.”Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said the president’s comments show that “Donald Trump is feeling the heat.”“People across this country do not want to see their insurance premiums double or even triple,” she said.Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said he was “delighted” to hear Trump’s comments, “and I hope that can lead to some fruitful discussion.” And Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the lead author of the bill to extend Obamacare funding, said she hasn’t spoken to the president.Again, King was one of just three Democratic caucus members who voted for the GOP bill, along with Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.Trump is declining to take a clear position on whether to extend Obamacare subsidies, the main Democratic demand and a central sticking point in the standoff. The subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year, which would result in major health insurance premium increases for people on the Affordable Care Act.“We want to fix it so it works,” Trump said Sunday when NBC News asked him whether he’s open to extending the funding. “It’s not working. Obamacare has been a disaster for the people, so we want to have it fixed so it works.”House members were supposed to return to Washington this week, but Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., canceled votes for the entire week, saying the chamber had already done its job and passed a funding bill back on Sept. 19.Democratic House Leader Jeffries speaks out on shutdown, health care03:47Some members of both parties, however, say that’s an attempt by Johnson to avoid a vote to require the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. A bipartisan House duo is expected to have the signatures they need to force a vote on the Epstein issue when the House returns to Washington and Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., is sworn in.Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said on X: “Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. @SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.”Johnson denied that’s the reason.“This has nothing to do with that,” he said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “It’s another red herring. The reason the government is closed is because Chuck Schumer and 43 of his Democratic colleagues in the Senate have decided now to vote multiple times to keep the government closed.”In the battle of public opinion, the White House and the GOP are taking more of the blame for the shutdown than Democrats. A new CBS News poll shows that trend continuing, with 39% saying they mostly blame Trump and Republicans, while 30% blame Democrats in Congress and 31% blame both equally.Asked Monday on NBC’s “TODAY” show to react to Trump’s comments on ACA funding over the weekend, Jeffries was unimpressed.“He also mentioned that in the White House meeting that we had last Monday,” Jeffries said. “Unfortunately, the White House and Republican leaders have gone radio silent ever since then.”Sahil KapurSahil Kapur is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.Julie TsirkinJulie Tsirkin is a correspondent covering Capitol Hill.Frank Thorp VFrank Thorp V is a producer and off-air reporter covering Congress for NBC News, managing coverage of the Senate.

The IRS usually adjusts tax brackets every year for inflation. This way, a household that reports nominally higher income — but not an increase in buying power — doesn’t tip over into a higher tax.When taxpayers file returns in April 2027, they will see tax bracket thresholds that have increased by about 2.7% over the prior year, to account for inflation, according to the Tax Foundation. #embed-20251010-tax-rate-change-calculator iframe {width: 1px;min-width: 100%}This means a household that reports income near the top of a specific bracket in 2025 — and then reports slightly more income for 2026 — may not necessarily be bumped up to the next income bracket and face a higher tax rate.Some taxpayers who report the same amount of income in 2026 as they did in 2025 could even see their taxes decrease. For example, an individual filer who earns $100,000 in 2026 will owe approximately $13,170 in federal income tax — which is $279 less than that taxpayer would have owed the year before, according to NBC News calculations. “We call it ‘bracket creep’ — where you would end up going into a higher tax bracket if they didn’t end up being adjusted for inflation,” said Tom O’Saben, director of tax content and government relations at the National Association of Tax Professionals, a trade group for accountants. The IRS has also increased the standard deduction, or the amount a household can write off if they choose not to itemize their deductions. For tax year 2026, the standard deduction will increase by 7.3% for all filers over the 2025 rate: This will come to $32,200 for married couples filing jointly, to $16,100 for single taxpayers and married individuals filing separately, and to $24,150 for individual filers who are heads of households. The IRS released the new brackets this month despite the government shutdown, which has caused half its staff to be furloughed.The Trump administration laid off nearly 1,500 Treasury Department employees earlier this month, according to court filings by the government. The cuts reportedly had an outsized impact on the IRS, especially its human resources and IT workforce.
