Buffalo Bill and the 1972 Dolphins

champagne pop, 1972 Dolphins! (Larry Sonka already done.) There will be no undefeated team after this season the bill the beat chiefs, 30-21. When the bill is required Josh Allen To be a superhero, he absolutely delivers, rumbled for a 26-yard touchdown on fourth-and-2 Only two minutes left. Jim Nantz It is called “Game of the Year.”

I’m very impressed with Buffalo’s offense, with Allen leading everything. James Cook Became a much better, more physical runner. Amari Cooper A couple of big catches, and Khalil Shakir Consistency is the security blanket.

I am also influenced by that Sean McDermott That’s going for fourth and 2. How many times have we seen teams settle late, only to Patrick Mahomes Break their hearts? Buffalo relied on its best player to make a play, and he delivered. He is now the MVP favoriteAnd that iconic game could be defined if he wins it.

And let’s not forget this defense, which picked off Mahomes on his first pass (Taylor Rap) and last pass (Terrell Barnard) of the game.

of course, Time will tell If Buffalo can finally beat Kansas City in the playoffs, for now, Buffalo can boast an impressive all-around performance.

… and also no. 12 Georgia Bulldogs

Turns out these ‘Dawgs still have some dawg left in them. No. 12 Georgia the beat No. 7 Tennessee, 31-17An important win for the Bulldogs’ playoff aspirations. Just didn’t Carson Beck Eventually bounced back, but the Bulldogs avoided a third loss that would have almost certainly pushed them out of playoff contention.

Georgia was out of the bracket in last week’s release. but now, Kirby is smartIt has a crew The committee has been given all the evidence they need Where They Belong, writes Dennis Dodd.

• Dodd: “The ‘Dogs’ frustration was the mother of motivation. They fell behind 10-0, finished on a 31-7 run and regained belief in themselves. … Finally, that heart Smart ripped from his chest? It was There was so much redemption Saturday night at Sanford Stadium.

Georgia moved up to No. 7 Jerry Palm’s projected playoffs.

👍 Honorable mention

🏈 And not such a good morning for …

Baltimore Ravens

if the crow Ever want to hit their Super Bowl-caliber ceiling, they better figure out how to fix the holes in their floor. Baltimore lost to Pittsburgh, 18-16A very familiar result — Steeler The two have won eight of the last nine — thanks to an all-too-familiar flaw. make things worse, Steeler The win took the AFC North to the top.

Lamar Jackson Throw down a touch Jay Flowers Just over a minute remained, but a botched two-point conversion attempt went nowhere, capping a long list of mistakes.

• Justin Tucker He also missed two more field goals Amazing struggle Continued It was a complete addition Chris Boswell Made six field goals for Pittsburgh.
• Derrick Henry And Isaiah probably Both fumbled, gifting Steeler two short fields, and Justice Hill A potential catch was wrestled away from him Peyton Wilson For an interruption.
• The Ravens had 12 penalties for 80 yards, damaging mistakes on both sides of the ball.

So here are the Ravens, who have an MVP candidate quarterback, a great running back, a great run defense and … only a 7-4 record. They have committed the most penalties in the NFL by a wide margin. All four of their losses were by single possessions. They just make too many mistakes, too often.

The Steelers are the opposite. For the second time this season they won without scoring a touchdown. They are the second team in the last 20 years with multiple touchdown-less wins in a season. Brian DeArdo explains why Pittsburgh Belongs to the top tier.

👎 Not so honorable mention

John Jones This is his heavyweight title defense UFC 309 Saturday, Knock Out Stipe Miocic with a Wicked spinning body kick back In the third round. Miocic was crushed, and with Jones crying, the referee stopped things. After the fight, Miocic, 42, retired.

the night before, Jake Paul easily defeated Mike Tyson By unanimous decision. Paul is 27, Tyson is 58, and after two somewhat entertaining rounds, the age gap shows, and the fight Predictably reduced to a slog.

Sports stars Fighting on social media is rubbish, drake And Conor McGregor Lost a lot of moneyAnd almost everyone is a loser except Paul and Tyson, who are Score major paydays.

Was there a symbol of an aging champ trying to grab one last moment of glory … and we’re all watching, perhaps hoping for the same? absolutely Tyson was convinced Grateful for the experience.

But in the end, It felt like a huge waste of timeBrian wrote.

• Campbell: “Whether Paul was shown the merciful side, Paul was too scared to resist Tyson, or, worse, the two had some sort of pre-fight (or even tacit) agreement that not to finish the other, Paul decided to take Tyson to whatever was left in the balloon. The wind goes away and turns the event into a complete sham.”

As disappointing as that was, the co-main event Katie Taylor defeated Amanda Serrano Follow up was sensational Their sensational 2022 bout. So at least we got that.
