My biggest issue with soccer has always been that there were too many incredible goals scored 40 seconds after a marginal foul happened on the other side of the field. So glad they fixed this.

Ronaldo screaming “I’m back” after two goals against Uzbekistan and then scoring one charity penalty before being knocked out of the Round of 16 again is my highlight of the World Cup unless he gets arrested later.

Cristiano finished his career without scoring a single goal from open play in with World Cup knockout game. He's not even in the neighborhood of best-ever.

You’re telling me Tom Brady, accused of cheating multiples times, is hiring a guy literally named Spy Tech?

New column ($): I broke down the MVP race with three games to go. In a league where the average QB sees their QBR drop by 30+ points under pressure, Josh Allen's QBR is ... 15 points *better* than when he's unpressured??? www.espn.com/nfl/insider/...

On the first three drives, Glenn tried throwing his changeup. The Lions blitzed on only 25% of Allen's dropbacks and played man 33% of the time. They dropped seven and even eight into coverage and hoped they could either hold up and force an incompletion or get the Bills behind schedule.

To further the metaphor, Allen crushed the changeups for three home runs, leading 73-, 78- and 80-yard touchdown drives while facing all of two third downs in the process. The injury-riddled Lions pass rush had no hope of getting to Allen, who extended play after play before eventually finding an open receiver for a big gain. He hit receiving back Ty Johnson for three different receptions of 24 yards or more and James Cook for a 28-yard completion.

Offensive coordinator Joe Brady's game plan seemed to be hell-bent on stretching Detroit's linebackers in space and torturing them with eye candy before forcing them to run. The Bills repeatedly pulled guards and tackles, both for run concepts and to move defenders on play-action. Of Allen's 362 passing yards, 251 came on throws to running backs and tight ends, the most any quarterback has had throwing to backs and tight ends in a game this season and 61 more than Allen had ever had in a pro game.

When Allen scored his second touchdown of the first quarter, the Bills ran a dart read concept, where the quarterback reads a defender on the end of the line of scrimmage and left tackle Dion Dawkins pulls across the formation. The only problem on the play for Buffalo is that so many front seven defenders scattered to the wind to cover potential receivers and ball carriers that Dawkins didn't have anybody to block and sort of sheepishly watched an untouched Allen waltz into the end zone

The Lions have thrived by making life difficult and pressuring quarterbacks. Allen has simply been impervious to pressure this season. Detroit didn't sack him once in 38 tries, dropping his sack rate to an absurd 2.7%, in a virtual tie with Derek Carr of the Saints for the lowest in football. Just 9.2% of pressures on Allen even turn into sacks, which is the lowest rate and the best mark any quarterback has produced in a single season over the past decade. And while most Carr pressures turn into throwaways or incompletions, Allen can produce big plays under pressure with his arm and legs.

That has led to one of the more stunning numbers I can share about a quarterback this season. As you can probably guess, most quarterbacks have their performances collapse under pressure. Leaguewide, passers have collectively posted a 67.3 QBR without pressure and a 32.8 QBR under duress this season, with their performance dropping off by 34.5 points of QBR. (Remember that Total QBR includes both sacks and scrambles.)

Allen, somehow, has been better under pressure than he has without it. He has posted a staggering 89.1 QBR under pressure; just two other starting quarterbacks have posted a QBR better than 62 against pressure, and neither is within 16 points of Allen. He's averaging 7.8 yards per attempt and has thrown 10 touchdown passes without a single interception against pressure. Some quarterbacks can't do that against air.

That 89.1 QBR is the best anyone has ever posted under pressure in a single season by a considerable margin going back through 2009, when ESPN started to track pressure data. It's probably telling that the guy he's beating who previously had the single-season mark for QBR under pressure is ... Josh Allen, who posted a 77.7 QBR mark against pressure two seasons ago. We're seeing an even more impressive version of Allen in terms of mitigating pressure and avoiding the sorts of negative plays that sink drives for other teams.

There are 70 throws of 50+ air yards in the NGS database. This throw was in the air for 2.47 seconds. That is the fastest 50+ yard throw we've seen.
