How Jets ‘bulldozer’ is building chemistry in new dynamic backfield
NY Post
There’s a new Jets duo in town.
Breece Hall and rookie Braelon Allen are now the headliners for the Jets rushing attack — perhaps soon to be known as the B&B boys.
Hall, the third-year back, is known for speed and quickness while Allen, a 20-year-old rookie, is what Robert Saleh calls a “bulldozer.”
Together they scored all three touchdowns — each with one receiving before Allen scored the game-winner on the ground — in the Jets’ 24-17 victory against the Titans that lent signs of what the future could hold.
It had been 30 years since the Jets had two running backs with receiving touchdowns in the same game — since Richie Anderson and Johnny Johnson each caught one from Boomer Esiason in 1994 against the Dolphins.
It has been a significant difference for Hall, who carried the rushing load last season while Dalvin Cook failed to become the expected complement. In each other, Hall and Allen have found a friend and a training partner.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
