The MVP race is a 2-man cage match

The MVP discussion has been whittled down to an A and B conversation between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

Russell Wilson needs to turn heel

He has to be in on the joke at this point. Russell Wilson is playing with our feeble little minds. That’s the only explanation for the Denver Broncos quarterback to keep leaning into this personality that feels straight out of a “How to Act Like a Quarterback for Dummies” book. ...

Russell Wilson’s well-manicured persona now in lock-step with his play style

Serious question: Was this the worst primetime football game ever?

The J-Lo and Josh Duhamel movie trailer that came on after this game ended was better than the game itself.
