Stafford breaks 60K mark, Rams' defense hold strong in 14-9 win over Texans
SUMMARY: In a hard-fought NFL season opener, the Los Angeles Rams narrowly defeated the Houston Texans 14-9 in Inglewood. The Texans’ defense delivered punishing hits, including a concussion-causing blow to Rams receiver Puka Nacua. Despite early struggles and significant contact, Matthew Stafford passed for 245 yards and a touchdown, surpassing 60,000 career passing yards. Key defensive plays by rookie Nate Landman, including a critical late-game forced fumble, secured the victory. Nacua contributed 130 receiving yards despite his injury. Houston’s C.J. Stroud threw for 188 yards but was held scoreless in the second half amid penalties and turnovers.

SUMMARY: In August, the U.S. economy added 22,000 jobs with the unemployment rate rising to 4.3%, below economists’ expectations of 75,000 jobs. This report follows President Trump’s controversial firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) head Erika McEntarfer after a weak July report and accusations of fabricated data, which experts widely condemned. The BLS attributed July’s downward revisions to late public education job reports and pandemic-related survey challenges. Private sector hiring slowed, with layoffs surging nearly 40% in August, and job openings fell to 7.18 million, the first time since 2021 that job seekers outnumbered vacancies.
