In his words, Schefter said, “Brady lost against Manning for the first time in his 7th season. For Mahomes, he will also be going against Allen in his 7th season. When Manning finally made a breakthrough and won against Brady, it was on January 21, 2007. Well, January 21, 2024. 17 years to the day Josh Allen is hoping to do what Peyton Manning did against Tom Brady.” Thus, the Chiefs’ Mahomes will have a lot of eyes on him, as Allen does all he can do to attain the same respect as the legendary Peyton Manning. But with the cold weather that has been haunting the nation, it is going to be a tough environment to play football in.

"Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true."- Salman Rushdie Hi, my name's Jeevesh Singh and I'm an NFL writer here at EssentiallySports.
