The Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released records on Friday showing that, alongside a May domestic‑violence arrest of Packers running back Josh Jacobs, three additional women reported past abuse by the athlete. One account details a phone interview in which a woman says Jacobs slapped her, hair‑pulled, pinned her to his bed, spat on her, choked her and threatened to kill her after she arrived at his house from an Instagram meet‑up in 2023. She delayed reporting because she remained friends with Jacobs and feared disbelief. The disclosures expand the investigation beyond the May incident, adding serious new allegations.

Next Four Games Very Critical For Vikings

The Vikings sit at an unexpected 6-0 thanks to a dominant defense, but a tough four‑game stretch could determine their playoff fate.

A 2‑2 finish keeps Minnesota at 8‑2 and on track for the NFC North lead; anything worse jeopardizes the division title and top seed.

Jonathan Taylor trade rumor from Adam Schefter confirms Colts’ asking price

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Indianapolis Colts have shifted from keeping star RB Jonathan Taylor to openly fielding offers.

Teams reportedly interested include the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, each grappling with weak backfields. Taylor, an elite back with two contract years remaining, could fetch a McCaffrey‑type return, though a more modest haul seems probable.

It details Wrigley’s evolution from a Federal League park to the Cubs’ 1916 home, its role in the Bears’ 1921‑70 tenure, and its integral link to the 2016 World Series ending a 108‑year drought.

With the NFL trade deadline just two weeks away, Daily Norseman asks whether the undefeated Minnesota Vikings should add former Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor.

Competing suitors include the Packers, Broncos and Seahawks, making the decision pivotal for a deep playoff run.
