The Raiders, who have the No. 1 overall pick, beating the Patriots in Week 1 is one of the main reasons today’s AFC Championship Game vs. the Broncos is in Denver and not New England.
If the game were in New England, a snowstorm with 10+ inches of snow would be expected.
Both the Broncos and Patriots finished the season 14–3, but Denver earned the No. 1 seed based on a better record against common opponents.
Right guard Mike Onwenu smiles as he recaps being handed the football by Drake Maye after Maye’s 6-yard TD run.
Onwenu says Maye told him he wasn’t going to celebrate, so he invited him to spike the ball … which he did.
Onwenu’s first-ever spike, he says.
Naji Marshall on the Mavericks’ success in small-ball lineups:
“Animals. Dawgs. All of us. All five. Dawg. Gotta have that dawg in you, no kitty. You gotta be born with it…Dawged up, that’s it.”
Drake Maye took part in the Battle of the Paddles tonight in New Orleans and ended up winning the thing. Beat Micah Parsons and then Kirk Cousins for the belt.
Competitive juices were flowing, particularly when Maye and Parsons squared off.
Mavs could win the title THIS YEAR w AD and it wouldn’t mean 10% of what it would mean to win one with LD to Mavs fans. We’d keep him every fucking time. That’s what I can’t comprehend with this decision. He’s spent his entire career here. He was OUR GUY.
Mavs fans won’t even get to see Luka’s jersey hang in the rafters. Don’t get a goodbye or tribute. Which, after Dirk, is the ONE thing we hold on to. We might not be Boston or LA w 15+ banners, we know that. but we have OUR GUY, the one guy we point to and say hey we have him, we love him and that’s OK with us. We’re aware of where we rank as a franchise, but we’re happy. That’s been an MFFL staple since I’ve been alive. not to be hyperbolic, but they stole everything from us & betrayed what it actually means to be a Mavs fan.
