FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY Greetings. I’ll be doing this every Monday during the 2024 NFL season – with some bonus “extra points” thrown in. My goal here today is simple: talk about four things in Week 1 that drew my interest. Your list might be different from...
In eight days, Patrick Mahomes went from being injured, to limping, to becoming immobile, to having a weakened right ankle that could fail to hold the enormous weight of his team’s fate. He became the weeklong obsession of gamblers, had to listen to hearing all about...
