AdvertisementAnd, for generations, the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions have deprived them. “It would be a Super Bowl made in heaven,” said Mary Wilson, widow of Bills founder and Detroit businessman Ralph Wilson. Lions coach Dan Campbell is the clear favorite for Coach of the Year. Bills coach Sean McDermott locked up his fifth straight AFC East crown with a month’s worth of games remaining. Recent data shows they rank similarly among large metros in unionization (Buffalo first, Detroit seventh), poverty (Detroit second, Buffalo third) and excessive drinking (Buffalo fourth, Detroit 13th).

CNN —Back in September, the Miami Dolphins put up a historic scoreline. “The Dolphins offense has underperformed and been in the shadow of the clubs’ defense for decades,” Joe Schad, a Dolphins journalist for the Palm Beach Post, told CNN Sport. “They’re feared for the first time since legendary quarterback Dan Marino was under center.”The Mike McDaniel effectOften decked out in aviator sunglasses and white sneakers, Coach McDaniel is part-quote machine, part-football geek, part-stand-up comedian and part-offensive guru. McVay became the youngest NFL head coach when he was hired by the Los Angeles Rams at the age of 30 in 2017. Tua Tagovailoa, the NFL's only left-handed starting quarterback, spearheads the Dolphins offense.

Mahomes finished 20 of 30 for a season-low 185 yards in his European debut, but the Chiefs’ offense struggled in the second half. Miami hadn’t been shut out in the first half of a game since Week 2 of the 2021 season. After a game that could have playoff implications — the Chiefs have hosted a record five straight AFC championship games — Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the flight home will feel shorter. The Chiefs haven’t lost back-to-back games since early in the 2021 season and stayed undefeated in international games. Chiefs: Bye week before a Monday night Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium on Nov. 20.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins are placing rookie running back De'Von Achane on injured reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a knee injury against the New York Giants. Coach Mike McDaniel did not confirm whether Achane's injury will require surgery, nor did he provide many details on the extent of the injury. He said it is not a “grave” injury, and he expects Achane to return this season. Achane will miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, as well as matchups against Philadelphia, New England and Kansas City. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 10, so he will be eligible to return in Week 11 against the Raiders.
