YANGON, Myanmar, Jan 4, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Myanmar's junta said on Sunday it would release more than 6,000 prisoners as part of an annual amnesty to mark the country's independence day.

"The Acting President of the Union of the Republic of Myanmar has pardoned 6,134 male and female prisoners who are serving their terms at respective prisons, detention centres and camps," the junta's National Defence and Security Council said in a statement.

But favorable decisions by officials -- a missed penalty, plus two pass interference calls -- helped Tampa Bay reach a 16-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

After yet another rain-soaked Panthers fumble, and a blocked Tampa Bay field goal attempt, Jalen Coker caught an eight-yard touchdown with just over two minutes remaining to bring Carolina hope.

But the Buccaneers held on. A grinning Mayfield said he will now learn if his season will continue into the playoffs "from my own couch."
