The quarterbacks aren’t realistically attempting to chase down Patrick Mahomes in the Lombardi Trophy department, but be is this era’s Peyton Manning.

Josh Allen probably knew what he was doing when he picked out a hoodie for today's game against the Denver Broncos.

Patrick Mahomes could walk onto the field Saturday carrying a chip on his shoulder bigger than the size of any of the three Super Bowl rings that he slips on his fingers.
