‘Bills at Chiefs on Sunday is the game of the year so far in the NFL, and it really isn’t close. At least if you like offence. And scoring.’

‘A halfback run lost three yards. On third-and-goal from the four, Jackson ran up the middle for two. And on fourth-and-goal from the two, rather than have Justin Tucker kick a nearly certain field goal to go up 23-20, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh elected to go for it.’

‘How does a team lose despite outgaining the opposition by 285 yards, or more than double the winner’s output? The Bills found a way on Sunday in sultry Miami Gardens.’

‘Miller was the third fastest NFLer to reach 50 sacks, needing just 58 career games. In 2015 Miller was named Super Bowl MVP after the Broncos beat Carolina. He’s now hoping to win his third career Super Bowl with the Bills, who never have won one.’

‘And yet, this is the team that had done the seemingly impossible last season, out-duelling the Kansas City Chiefs in a playoff shootout at Arrowhead Stadium, only to discover that Patrick Mahomes had one last bullet in his cylinder. Actually, that analogy is not quite correct. Mahomes was all out of bullets, and the Bills walked across the duelling ground and gave him a fresh box. Please, shoot us with these.’

‘“Not once did she express to me a desire to hurt her assaulters out of revenge or hatred,” Gilleon said. “She never asked for a pound of flesh. Her only ask was the kind of justice that might save other young women from the hell she experienced.”’

‘The alleged woman had been seeking unspecified “monetary damages”. She also demanded that Miller stop sharing the raunchy snapshots.’

‘TMZ said it’s an indicator Allen believes the Brady video is bogus and that the Bucs superstar photoshopped it all. However, Brady did a pretty good job if the course clip is a counterfeit because he captioned his heroics: “This is why you film every shot on the course…”’

‘If Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are in fact worthy Super Bowl favourites in 2022, as growing off-season buzz suggests, they can start proving it at the get-go.’

‘These are the same four passers represented in the conference championship games a year ago January, following the 2020 season; Brady’s Bucs beat Rodgers’ Packers, while Mahomes’ Chiefs ousted Allen’s Bills.’

‘The team also agreed to a strict new 30-year non-relocation agreement.’

‘In one of the most thrilling games in NFL playoff history — and in perhaps the most clutch example of back-and-forth, elite-level QB one-upmanship in any league game, ever — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs knocked off Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in overtime, 42-36 on Sunday.’

‘If you missed the game, you probably think that’s hyperbole. Overstatement. Embellishment.’

‘It was Belichick then. It is Belichick now. It seems forever that way for the Bills and any possible Super Bowl journey. You have to go through Belichick. But this time, just as they were in Super Bowl XXV, the Bills are the better team. Now all they do is perform that way.’

‘Allen played perhaps the best game of his four-year career, in arguably the most important regular-season game of his young career. He might even have thrown himself, literally and figuratively, back into the thick of the race for the NFL MVP award.’
