In Week 11, the Houston Texans will play the Tennessee Titans. But something more important happened on Sunday morning. Kris Boyd, a former cornerback and special teams star for the Texans, was shot in New York. His status is stable but critical.

Although specifics are still being worked out, initial reports indicate that it happened at approximately two in the morning ET.

Boyd is currently with the New York Jets.


Former Texans' defensive back Kris Boyd was shot in New York and is in critical condition at the hospital.


On November 16, Joe Marino, Jorge Fitz-Gibbon, and Kirsten Fleming of the New York Post reported that Boyd, who played for the Texans for a portion of the 2023 and 2024 seasons, had been "shot in the abdomen."

On West 38th Street, the incident happened close to Seventh Avenue. Two shots were fired by the gunmen as a fight descended into violence outside the Sei Less eatery.

Authorities on the scene reported that witnesses were "uncooperative."

According to The Post, a "high-end silver Mercedes-Benz Maybach" fled the scene after the alleged gunman "flew the scene in a BMW X." There was also a third car parked at the scene: the Rhino GX, "a luxury armoured SUV" that can cost up to $300,000.

Before being sent to the hospital, where he is listed in critical but stable condition, "Boyd fell in and out of consciousness," the Post's three writers said.

"Police stated that the incident is being investigated and that no arrests have been made."

The Jets "are aware of the situation concerning Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time," an unnamed Jets representative informed the New York Post and other media outlets looking for comment on the matter.

Following their "Thursday Night Football" loss to the New England Patriots, the Jets were not in play on Sunday.

Boyd has not played this season due to a shoulder injury that has placed him on injured reserve.

The Texans' coach was pushed by Kris Boyd.

After being taken by the Minnesota Vikings with the 217th overall choice in the sixth round of the draft, Boyd finally found his way to the Texans in free agency during the 2023 season.

The veteran has previously played for the Arizona Cardinals.

During his time with the Texans, Boyd created a sensation. He assaulted special teams coordinator Frank Ross when he approached the sidelines during a game. Ross remains a member of the team.

During the Divisional Playoffs, Boyd forced a fumble on the first kick against the Kansas City Chiefs. He rushed to the Texans' sideline, tore off his helmet, and almost knocked Ross down.

Boyd was called for "unsportsmanlike behaviour" because of his helmet, and the Chiefs recovered.

According to ESPN and the Associated Press in January, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters, "I do not think he was disrespectfully pushing Frank." "I believe that he was quite energised and believed he made a move to assist us. Therefore, the claim that he is shoving a coach is untrue.

Later, Boyd acknowledged that he was "too heated up" about the play. He then expressed regret for the shove to Ross.

BUCKS’ DEFEAT SPARKS VIRAL GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO MOMENT ONLINE

Following the Lakers' victory over the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo got the game ball for youngster Adou Thiero.

Things did not go well for the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated them 119-95. Superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, however, showed that he is a class act after the game with a touching gesture.

Antetokounmpo extended his scorching hot start to the season by scoring 32 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and handing out five assists in this game, despite the Bucks' defeat. However, it was his post-game activities that garnered the most fan attention, largely due to a video that went viral on social media.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's Endearing Motion Following the Bucks' Loss to the Lakers


Antetokounmpo has been the focus of conjecture about his future with the Bucks for a large portion of the previous few years. Some people think that this might be his last season in Milwaukee after he made a few cryptic remarks prior to the season beginning, which only served to fan the flames.

However, those intentions could be altered by the Bucks' early success. They have an 8-6 record through 14 games, and despite their recent loss to the Lakers, there are indications that this squad could be a serious competitor in the Eastern Conference. Despite all of the rumours surrounding him, Antetokounmpo is playing some of his finest basketball. He is shooting 63% from the field and averaging 32.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game.

On Saturday, however, the Bucks were unable to keep up with the Lakers, and as a result, the benches were wiped out in the fourth quarter. When second-round rookie Adou Thiero made his NBA debut for Los Angeles, he ended up scoring his first points. Referees, however, forbade his Lakers colleagues from giving him the game ball as a present after the game. When Antetokounmpo intervened and assumed command of the situation, that changed.

After the final buzzer sounded, the team posted on X, saying, "Giannis secured the game ball for Lakers rookie Adou Thiero after scoring his first NBA points."

The Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are trying to get past their ugly loss.


It is unclear why the authorities refused to allow the Lakers to keep the ball, but it appeared Thiero would not receive a souvenir of his NBA debut. After noticing what was happening, Antetokounmpo managed to locate the ball, take it, and promptly give it to Los Angeles so that Thiero could get it.

It was touching to watch Antetokounmpo step in and make sure Thiero got this ball because some things are greater than basketball. However, Milwaukee needs to work on a few things on the court if it wants to start winning again. When the Bucks play again on Monday night, they will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, who will be a formidable opponent.

TORONTO LEAFS’ MORALE DROPS DESPITE JOSEPH WOLL’S VALIANT EFFORT IN CHICAGO

The Toronto Maple Leafs' losing streak hits five games after a defensive collapse in Chicago. Despite Joseph Woll's strong return in goal, coverage errors cost them as they head into a critical six-game road trip.

To discover the last time the Maple Leafs dropped five straight games, you will need to go all the way back to the 2020–21 season, which was cut short by the lockout.

However, it is not too difficult to discover why, in this November of negativity, things have gone against Toronto. They have frequently been caught in the rear when they have been defensively vague. They also need to find dependable, experienced aid to replace injured players before a potentially season-ending six-game road trip begins in a week.

We will begin with Joseph Woll's triumphant homecoming, which was the night's most positive development.

His first start since April 17 was not due to rust, regardless of what kept him at home for a month. He appeared focused on making 29 stops, but he was unable to avoid a few coverage mistakes that plagued the three goalies who came before him this season.

A complete crisis in goal is the last thing Toronto needs, but he and Dennis Hildeby have worked hard this week to produce enough to defeat the Leafs last year. They have to hold out until Anthony Stolarz recovers from an upper-body ailment that put him on injured leave, which should happen late next week.

After late disappointments and lost points in two one-goal losses this week, several people were left feeling dejected.

After the game, head coach Craig Berube told reporters in Chicago, "I have to push them as best I can." "Maybe it is positive reinforcement as well as a kick in the ass."

Although Saturday was not a blowout, defenseman Philippe Myers, who played for the injured Brandon Carlo, made a few mistakes that will make the flight home painful. With less than five minutes remaining in the third period, another missed clear was tipped past Woll for the winner, putting a quartet of veterans who had played well all night on the ice.

The Leafs performed significantly better on breakouts and outhit and nearly outshot the Hawks. In a run of awful second periods this fall, they also prevented the Blackhawks from scoring. Along with missing the net 28 times—including a few missed breakaways and a few posts and crossbars—the displeasure was there at the other end.

Overall, they appeared to have internalised Berube's advice to put in more effort to generate opportunities in order to double their shots from Thursday's defeat by the Kings. Morgan Rielly and Nick Robertson both scored goals as a result of persistent forechecks.

Early in the third period, Teuvo Teravainen's tying goal undid a lot of the bench's hard work, and Robertson was asked how they responded.

He declared, "It is no secret that we have not won a game in a while." Thus, it might have been a little stressful. You sort of need to regroup and try again.

Despite pressing hard with the net empty, Toronto failed to salvage a point and remains in the bottom half of the conference rankings.

Playing left wing on a line with Nicolas Roy and Matthew Knies, Easton Cowan, whom Berube frequently reminds us was demoted to the Marlies for cap issues more than for bad play, was flying upon his return.

Following his first NHL minor, he had three shots and fired out of the penalty box to come very close to defeating Spencer Knight on a breakaway. It was his second-most ice time in 11 games, coming in at just under 17 minutes.

In the 2023 selection, Cowan was also spotted jawing a few times with Connor Bedard, who was selected 28 spots higher than him at first overall. Even though Bedard is having a great season, neither forward scored a point in the game, and the Leafs managed to avoid both of Cowan's minors.

The Leafs' conviction that Cowan belongs in the NHL should be strengthened if they are not forced to keep putting him on the farm in order to make room for a veteran, depending on who that is.
