Rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson starts Sunday for the Dolphins while Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen lead the Chiefs and Bills into a rematch of last season’s epic playoff game.
Thompson threw an interception as part of a 19-for-33, 166-yard passing performance in the 40-17 defeat to the Jets. The Dolphins have scored only 32 points while losing to the Cincinnati Bengals and the Jets by a combined 35 points. They lost the Sept. 29 game at Cincinnati in which TagovailoaBridgewater is expected to back up Thompson against the Vikings after he was reportedly also cleared Saturday under the concussion protocols.
on the same field. Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Bills were equally brilliant, making one clutch throw after another. Mahomes took advantage of the Chiefs getting the ball first in overtime to throw a decisive touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce. The Bills went home. The Chiefs moved on to the AFC championship game but lost — in overtime, despite having the ball first — to the visiting Bengals. In March, NFL owners voted to modify the overtime rules for postseason games only, guaranteeing each team at least one offensive possession.
“It’s potentially the greatest 20 [or] 30 minutes of football that I’ve ever seen — ever, just watching a game,” Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay, the chairman of the NFL’s competition committee, said when the rule change was enacted as the annual league meeting. “And to think that it ended that way definitely brought up the idea of, ‘Hey, is that equitable? Does that work for everybody?’ No question that started the discussion.
If these quarterbacks and their teams come anywhere close to matching what they did in January, it will be a day of compelling football drama.
