That game will be played on Sunday evening, and although we don't have an exact forecast this far out, there are some things that can be said for sure...
Running it back
15 Jan
, 2025
This had me picking through the historical numbers, looking for similar games from the past...
Sam the sham
14 Jan
, 2025
Too many missed throws in key situations, and too many plays where he was too slow to get rid of the ball. He took 9 sacks, and most could have been avoided...
Nico Collins versus Kansas City
14 Jan

Josh Allen

There is ample data, of course, to see what’s happened in the past...
Ezekiel Elliott

We went through the same scenario last year. Dalvin Cook (like Zeke, an older back at the end of the road) asked for the Jets to release him in December...
George Pickens

Despite working with mostly lesser quarterbacks, Pickens in his first three seasons averages 58 catches for 947 yards, with 12 touchdowns...
Jalen McMillan
6 Jan
, 2025
McMillan, recall wasn’t even one of the first two wide receivers from his college team to be drafted. The Bucs picked him up late in the third round – long after Rome Odunze and Ja’Lynn Polk...

Achane has scored 11 touchdowns in the 11 games Tua has started...
