'I have a lot of respect for (them)'

Jan 21, 2025 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

The Bills and Chiefs see each other so often these days that it almost feels like they are division rivals. The latest installment of the battle between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes will take place Sunday in Kansas City for the AFC Championship Game, with Buffalo looking to finally get over the hump and reach the Super Bowl. The Chiefs, winners of the last two Super Bowls, have repeatedly had the Bills' number - particularly in the postseason.
'There were a lot of other plays that really decided the outcome'

Patrick Mahomes is aware of the discourse around the penalties he can draw. He doesn't plan on changing much. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has taken the baton from Tom Brady as it relates to officiating. With all the success Mahomes has had, any debatable flags that go in his favor tend to be viewed nationally as preferential treatment of a star player. Mahomes drew a pair of roughing the passer penalties in the 23-14 Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans.
'I'm proud of his development'

For Mike Vrabel, A.J. Brown reading a self-help book on the sidelines of a playoff game is emblematic of the star wideout's growth. Vrabel coached Brown for the first three years of his career, when Vrabel was the head coach of the Titans, who took the now-27-year-old wideout in the second round of the 2019 draft. It did not take long for Brown to blossom into a star, reeling in over 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie on 52 receptions.
Mike Vrabel 'comfortable' with resources to improve Patriots, sheds light on his approach to free agency

Jan 14, 2025 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

Mike Vrabel won't make the same ill-fated "burn some cash" declaration that his predecessor did, but he expects to be able to make moves in free agency this offseason. The Patriots Hall of Famer was installed as the team's head coach following the firing of Jerod Mayo after one season. This is a pivotal offseason for the Patriots, who have a league-leading $120,541,728 in cap space this offseason, according to Over the Cap.
'Felt like the effort was good' vs. Chargers, despite Daniel Ekuale saying he saw Patriots players 'giving up'

Dec 29, 2024 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

Daniel Ekuale is seeing guys give up. Jerod Mayo isn't seeing it the same way. The veteran defensive tackle was the latest in what's becoming a chorus of internal voices calling out the state of things in New England. It was always expected that this year would have its share of bumpiness, but Saturday's 40-7 drubbing at the hands of the Chargers was undoubtedly the low point.
Jerry Jones says Cowboys LB will need right knee surgery

Dec 10, 2024 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

Injuries have felled the Dallas Cowboys this season, and they now have another big one to add to the list. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who has blossomed into one of Dallas' most reliable defensive players, departed Monday's loss to the Bengals with a right knee injury. There was no update on the 24-year-old following the game, but owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on Shan & RJ that Overshown will need surgery. "He'll need surgery on his right knee," Jones said.
'Not crazy at all' to suggest Cowboys could extend Mike McCarthy this offseason

Nov 26, 2024 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

Jerry Jones has made clear he won't be firing Mike McCarthy during the season. In fact, now he's leaving the door open to hitching his wagon to McCarthy beyond this year. The Dallas Cowboys head coach is in the final season of his five-year deal. When the Cowboys' season began circling the drain, Jones squashed any rumors of a midseason firing, saying it would be counterproductive.
Did Drake Maye take step back vs. Dolphins? Mayo says 'Progress (isn't) a straight line to the top'

Nov 25, 2024 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

Drake Maye has been one of the few reasons for optimism around the New England Patriots, but Sunday offered some of the hiccups that come with a rookie quarterback. Maye had one of his worst performances as the Patriots starting quarterback in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was 22-for-37 for 222 yards with one touchdown and one interception, adding 26 yards on the ground across five rushes.
'Playing with a lot of confidence'

Nov 25, 2024 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

The Chicago Bears lost their fifth straight game Sunday, but there is at least some reason for optimism coming out of the most recent setback. Chicago slipped to 4-7 on the season with a 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. The Bears trailed by 11 with 1:56 to play, but managed to erase the deficit and force overtime with a Keenan Allen touchdown before a Cairo Santos field goal as time expired.
Jerry Jones says Cowboys likely to stick with Cooper Rush, but insists they didn't misevaluate Trey Lance before trade

Nov 19, 2024 | audacy.com | Logan Mullen

The Cowboys have a combined 16 points across their last two games as the season slips away, but Jerry Jones isn't expecting changes anytime soon at the quarterback position. With Dak Prescott on the shelf, the Cowboys have leaned on longtime backup Cooper Rush instead of Trey Lance - the 2021 No. 3 overall pick who Jones traded for last year after he was surpassed on the 49ers' depth chart by Brock Purdy.
