The Hot Read: Josh Allen doesn’t care about your asterisk

Kamari Lassiter should have caught it. That became the immediate rallying cry for the many naysayers of Josh Allen following the Buffalo Bills’ incredible win over the Houston Texans. In a game that featured eight lead changes, Buffalo took the lead for the final time with just over a minute remaining in regulation when Allen hit Josh Palmer on a frozen rope down the seam for his second touchdown pass and fourth total score of the day. The play before, Allen threw a pass that seemed to come on

The Chiefs finally found the explosive run game they’ve been missing

(Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images) | Getty Images During the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs generated seven explosive runs on offense, defined as runs of 20 yards or more. That was near the bottom of the league. A year ago the Chiefs offense managed only three of those such plays — the worst mark in the NFL — with just one such run coming from a running back. On Monday night against the Denver Broncos, new Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III had two such runs alone, doubling th

Jared Goff didn’t fumble because the NFL’s passing rules are broken

The NFL’s ability to ensure referees can determine the outcome of games ruined one of the most stunning contests of Week 1. New Orleans started the game looking like one of the worst teams in the NFL, as Detroit jumped out to a 21-0 lead while Tyler Shough struggled, only for the Saints to surge back, tie the game, and take it to overtime. While the Lions would go on to win 31-30, the aftermath of the game has been focused on one key moment that happened earlier in the game, when Jared Goff seem

This NFL special teams play should be shown to every high school football team

Life as a punt gunner can be hard in football, and particularly in the NFL. The basic job description reads like something out of “American Gladiators.” Sprint 50 to 60 yards downfield while tracking a punt and either tackle one of the more elusive players on the opposing team after they field it, or have the awareness to track the football in flight, see where it lands, and touch it down inside the opponent’s five-yard line. And if you botch either of those, not only will you become a meme over

NFL winners & losers, Week 1: Bears are for real, Packers collapse

(Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) | Getty Images Ben Johnson returned to his home state of North Carolina and chose violence to open the NFL season. The Bears and Panthers combined for the highest-scoring opener in league history in a 59-37 Chicago win, which in reality felt a lot like a beatdown. It was a Scorigami, but more importantly, it represented the Bears’ coach delivering on a promise to bring the most explosive offense the NFL had ever seen, and while it might just be Week 1, h

Kyler Murray’s first start under center as the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. Murray won the job after a training camp battle with J.J.
