‘“He presents challenges,” Ramsey said. “Every week you have to face a new challenge, and this is our third week so we have to face the challenge of him and that Bills’ offense. He has some weapons around him. He can make plays running the ball and extending plays, etc, etc. … Kind of the things everyone knows about him. But I’m confident in what I can do and this Rams’ defense can do, and that’s kind of what matters the most to me and the guys around here.”’

Ben Roethlisberger 2.0? Bills’ Josh Allen called ‘rebirth’ of Steelers QB by Rams’ John Johnson
‘“He’s like the rebirth of Ben Roethlisberger,” safety John Johnson told the media via Rams Wire. “Huge arm, huge body. I remember just watching him take off and run and I’m like, ‘OK, you’ve really got to have a tackling plan for him.’ He’s not going to go down easy, he’s not going to slide, he’s not going to run out of bounds, so you really have to have a plan. He just has a powerful arm, sometimes to a fault. So you’ve just got to make sure we stay deeper than the deepest and go from there. We can’t let any balls go over our heads.”’

I cover that to make sure it gets out there quickly.”’

New Jersey bettor places $25,000 wager on Josh Allen to win MVP
‘How full is the Allen bandwagon right now? To give you an idea, one particularly adventurous bettor put $25,000 on Allen to win NFL MVP. The 24-year-old currently stands as a +2500 longshot at Atlantic City-based Borgata Sportsbook, where the bet was placed. Ten players hold better odds with frontrunner Wilson leading the way at +350. The irony, of course, is that Wilson, despite a laundry list of accolades (seven Pro Bowls, one Super Bowl), has never received a single MVP vote in his eight-year Seattle tenure.’
