Who Should I Start? Tom Brady or Josh Allen

As recently as last week, there was a feeling inside the Las Vegas Raiders' team headquarters that owner Mark Davis would give head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco another year to figure things out after a 4-13 finish in 2024. However, seven-time Super Bowl-champion Tom Brady, who purchased 5% of the team last October, felt a total reset was needed and persuaded Davis to fire both Pierce and Telesco. "This is Tom's show now," a person with knowledge of the situation said. Davis will make the final call on decisions for the franchise, but Davis wants Brady to have a "huge" voice and has a lot of trust in him. By firing Telesco, the Raiders have made the head-coach job more attractive to potential coaches, and the Raiders are willing to consider a package deal if their top coaching candidates have preferred front-office leaders in mind.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen staged yet another comeback victory on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots, completing 19 of 28 passes for 193 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 carries for 48 yards as a runner. Allen and the Bills punted on their first three drives and spotted the Patriots a 21-0 lead in the first half, but the reigning MVP then led five consecutive touchdown drives as the Bills stormed back to win 35-31. The superstar quarterback found tight end Dawson Knox for two touchdowns and running back James Cook for the other. Allen has now compiled 444 passing yards, 126 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns with zero turnovers in the past two games, building a legitimate case to repeat as the league's MVP. Allen will profile as the overall QB1 in fantasy football again in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.
