Josh Allen’s audacity leads the way on a scintillating Sunday: NFL Wake-up Call (Gift Article)

My new Monday column, NFL Wake-up Call, debuts today from Houston, where Josh Allen closed out a head-spinning victory... @theathletic.com (Free Link ⬇️) www.nytimes.com/athletic/759...

That’s like Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, after his ripping national anthem before Wednesday night’s season-opening game between the Seahawks and New England Patriots in Seattle, saying, “Hit a few notes, now it’s on to ‘Yellow Ledbetter.’” @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/759...

Josh Allen's 'flow state,' Ben Johnson's savage mentality, a Saints homage to Dan Campbell, hot and cold LaFleurs, the Rams' blind faith in sports science and Jim Harbaugh's empty hype. The debut of NFL Wake-up Call has it all. @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/759...
