Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Josh Allen is not waiting for anyone's permission to be great. In a wild one against Houston featuring eight lead changes, Allen drove Buffalo to the winning score with just over a minute left, hitting Josh Palmer on a perfect seam route for the go-ahead touchdown. The Bills won, and the asterisk crowd can sit down.
Meanwhile the NFL power rankings are getting reshuffled after a chaotic opening week. ESPN's poll has some genuine surprises at the top and bottom of the board, and the newcomers making immediate impacts are already changing how we evaluate rosters. Week two cannot come fast enough, because the picture is still very much forming.
Over in the college game, LSU linebacker TJ Dottery is making Lane Kiffin look like a genius for bringing him from Ole Miss. Dottery's PFF defensive grade sits at ninety-four point eight through two weeks, a full two points clear of the next linebacker in the country. On his third school, the veteran presence is paying off in a massive way for the Tigers.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
