Two Bills Drive

‘Allen’s modesty and immediate crediting of his teammates, coaches and family when he accepted the award came as no surprise to anyone. He may have grown up in California and went to college in Wyoming, but Josh Allen is everyone’s favorite Buffalonian. He was already our MVP, but now it’s official.’

‘Assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington is headed to the Carolina Panthers, a league source confirmed to The Buffalo News. Kellington will serve as the Panthers’ vice president of player health and performance.’

‘“That meant a lot,” Allen said. “The atmosphere we have in Buffalo, I take a lot of pride in because I think the quarterback helps set the foundation and standard. I love when players leave and come back because they want to be back – that means a lot to me and means a lot to the players. We have so much fun in our locker room. We joke around a lot, but when it’s time for business, we get down to business.”’

‘The Eagles were relentless in their pressure of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and they needed just four rushers to do so. Mahomes looked more rattled than maybe he ever has, throwing a pair of first-half interceptions and getting sacked three times as the Eagles raced out to a 24-0 lead on their way to a lopsided win.’

‘Mahomes is still in his prime, but help wasn’t on the way in the Super Bowl, and it may not be in the near future. That’s why Allen and Jackson should be fueled by Philadelphia’s win.’

‘He became the only player in the modern era to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl on his birthday. It was also the rookie’s first interception in the NFL.’

‘The Eagles knew their best chance on defense was to create pressure with a four-man pass rush; they didn’t blitz the entire game. It worked from the beginning.’
