There’s no doubt that the Buffalo Bills are the favorites in their division and a strong contender in the American Conference to reach the Super Bowl-a game they haven’t played since way back in 1993. Now, with Josh Allen, the opportunity is significant. However, time is running out, and this could be the decisive year.
Josh Allen vs Joe Burrow: Highlights that fuel the debate
Beyond going for their sixth consecutive AFC East title, that alone is not enough. This year for the Bills is “Super Bowl or nothing,” a potential total failure for the organization led by Sean McDermott. If nothing unusual happens, the Bills will make the playoffs-and once there, it’s all about advancing. They have to break through the wall that has blocked them for so long.
That wall is called Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Since Josh Allen became the Bills’ quarterback, they have been defeated by the Chiefs four times in the playoffs-twice in the AFC Championship game, the most recent being last season. In a painful fashion, the Bills fell in the final minutes.
Khalil Shakir performed a heroic act a week before the season started
Even without top-tier receivers, Josh Allen has managed to maximize the talent around him, and one example is Khalil Shakir. A Boise State product drafted by the Bills in 2022, Shakir was the team’s best receiver in the 2024 season, setting high expectations for the upcoming season.
Although Khalil Shakir is fully focused on 2025, he performed a heroic act off the field. According to Nickel City Canine Rescue, Shakir helped find homes for 19 puppies on Sunday. The following message was shared on Facebook:
“Yesterday, Khalil Shakir helped us welcome 19 dogs in Buffalo. For the first time, they slept with full stomachs, warm blankets, and calm hearts. No more fear, no more uncertainty. Only the love and security they deserve.”
“And the best part? They didn’t just find safety… they found a family. Because here in Buffalo, Bills Mafia supports its own,” wrote Nickel City Canine Rescue on their Facebook page.
Shakir, a Bills receiver, recently signed a four-year, $62 million contract extension. Remember, he was a fifth-round pick in 2022 and is coming off his best season with 821 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns.

How TCU social media leaned into Bill Belichick hype: Memes, one-liners and plenty of receipts
TCU had a heckuva time ruining Bill Belichick’s big debut at North Carolina on Monday night. The only one who might’ve had as much fun as the Horned Frog players in Chapel Hill was 32-year-old Sam Lazarus.TCU’s director of football creative media, like the rest of the Horned Frogs, had taken note of how everything surrounding Monday night’s game was about Belichick and his team. Of course, that wasn’t a shock considering that the 73-year-old Belichick, the greatest coach in NFL history, was coaching his first game at the college level. The curiosity factor of that probably even topped what the Horned Frogs faced when they opened up two years ago against Colorado in Deion Sanders’ first FBS game. Still, for a team coming off a nine-win season with most of its top talent returning, the disrespect of being reduced […]

Venus Williams exits US Open in style after age-defying run
Venus Williams' memorable US Open doubles run came to an end with a quarter-final loss at Flushing Meadows.The 45-year-old made an age-defying return to tennis this year, becoming the oldest WTA singles match winner since 2004 in July, and her matches in the women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles made her appointment viewing. Her partnership with Canadian Leylah Fernandez had drawn packed crowds in the first three rounds, and it was the same against top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova on Louis Armstrong Stadium.

2025 Fantasy football draft strategy: Tiers, cheat sheets, PPR deep sleepers, breakout picks via NFL expert
One of the biggest challenges for Fantasy football managers each season is projecting the roles of rookies. Depth charts offer hints, but real trust develops as the season unfolds, and identifying a few deep fantasy sleepers can give your roster a significant boost. Reliable 2025 Fantasy football rankings can help managers target polarizing prospects like Cam Skattebo, Jaydon Blue, and Jack Bech. Top options such as Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Ja'Marr Chase, and Brock Bowers dominate their Fantasy position rankings, but building a strong team comes down to middle- and late-round fantasy strategy. With last-minute 2025 Fantasy football drafts going on the clock, managers are scrambling to lock in early picks and uncover late-round sleepers. In PPR leagues, high-volume receivers are particularly valuable, while running backs tend to be the key to success in standard scoring leagues. Before locking in […]
Benches clear, ejections handed in Giants-Rockies matchup after Rafael Devers homer
DENVER — Rafael Devers paused to admire his home run as it soared into the second deck in the first inning Tuesday night. More than 10 minutes later, in a bizarre and wild scene at Coors Field, Devers finished his trot around the bases and crossed the plate.Here’s what happened in between: a benches-clearing incident between the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies that involved more shoving than punching that ended in three ejections and brought a little spice to the penultimate game in the season series between the NL West adversaries.AdvertisementIt began when Devers, the second batter of the game, hit a two-run home run and milked the moment a bit too long in the estimation of Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, who walked off the mound and started a shouting match across the infield. Devers was vociferous in reply. […]
WATCH: Giants, Rockies get into benches-clearing brawl after Rafael Devers admires home run off Kyle Freeland
Getty Images Two batters into the Giants vs. Rockies game in Colorado's Coors Field Tuesday, three players were ejected. Giants first baseman Rafael Devers -- who has been on fire of late -- hit a two-run shot to right field and apparently admired it far too long for Rockies' starter Kyle Freeland's tastes. Freeland started yelling at Devers, Devers yelled back and, well, you get the picture. And the benches cleared. A better angle to see Freeland start yelling at Devers is here: In this highlight, you can see Giants third baseman Matt Chapman get to Freeland and shove him. Chapman was ejected along with Giants shortstop Willy Adames. On the Rockies' end, Freeland was ejected. We don't often see brawls during home run trots, right? There was a Carlos Gomez home run in Atlanta a decade ago with reactions on […]
