It was another fascinating week in the NFL. Six weeks in the book, we’re starting to see things take shape and get a better idea of some of these teams, who are the contenders for this season…
An MVP performance from Allen
It was an outstanding performance from Josh Allen, in the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, not just in the way he threw the ball, but also his timely runs.
He put his team on his back and took them to victory in a massive game, in a hostile environment.
Another observation from that game: This was precisely why the Bills went and got Von Miller and paid him a lot of money. He had a couple of sacks of Patrick Mahomes and a key pressure on the last play.
That’s what was different to the divisional round classic in the playoffs last year; there was some defense on show, and Buffalo look much the better for having Miller in their side.
