Blocked punt gives Arizona 30-24 overtime victory (AP)
Note:
Never before had an NFL team started a game with a kickoff return for a score, then ended it with a blocked punt in overtime for a touchdown. It was that kind of crazy day in the desert. J.J. Arrington, inactive the first four games of the season, opened things up with a 93-yard return for an Arizona score.

Tax Delay Fails to Quell Iranian Protest
Note:
TEHRAN — A strike in Iran’s traditional bazaars expanded on Sunday despite an order by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to suspend a new tax on sales that ignited the protest more than a week ago. The main entrance to the Grand Bazaar in Tehran was closed, as major traders like carpet and textile merchants joined the jewelers, who had started the strike in Tehran. The strike continued in the traditional bazaars in several other large cities, including Isfahan, where it erupted first on Oct. 4.
