Josh Allen played most of season with fracture as Bills star sits in driver’s seat for MVP
NY Post
Josh Allen is the MVP favorite, and that’s perhaps just his second most impressive feat of the season thus far.
NFL Network reports that Allen has played most of the season with a fractured non-throwing hand, thanks to an injury he sustained rushing for a touchdown in Week 1 against the Cardinals, though he is now considered healthy.
Allen, 28, has played so well that you wouldn’t be able to tell he was dealing with an injury; he has 25 passing touchdowns against just five interceptions to go along with 11 rushing touchdowns for the 11-3 Bills.
The injury occurred on an Allen run to the goal line, where he did a Superman-like leap to get into the end zone.
He was hit in midair by Cardinals defensive tackle Justin Jones, and Allen planted his hand down on the ground to brace his fall.
Allen doesn’t appear to give his hand even a little look as the play ends and he celebrates his touchdown.

This may be hard to believe, given that he’s become the crown prince of New York basketball in almost every way, but it wasn’t even like this for Jalen Brunson. Two-plus years into his tenure as the face of the Knicks, we tend to simply believe that modern Knicks history can be divided into two parts:

DALLAS, Texas — There were smiles and honest conversations among the Rangers on Thursday afternoon at the Stars’ practice rink in Farmers Branch.
Cody Bellinger’s return to The Bronx will turn back the clock. In 2000 and 2001, he was one of those kids running around the field after World Series games, when his father’s Yankees were beating the Mets and losing to the Diamondbacks.
