Two of the world's elite cruiserweights are set to meet on Sept. 12 in Las Vegas

The Buffalo Bills have reached the playoffs each of the past seven seasons. Theyre still searching for that elusive Super Bowl victory, a triumph thats evaded the franchise for decades and most notably in the 1990s, when they lost that game four years in a row.Josh Allen is the main character in the latest chapter of Bills history, and the dual-threat quarterback is deservedly beloved in the city he represents. As he enters Year 9, however, the one-time NFL MVP yearns to deliver Buffalo the Lombardi Trophy.Hes fallen short of an AFC title year after year, with last seasons overtime divisional-round loss to the Denver Broncos triggering his latest traumatic premature exit from the postseason. When asked how he processes defeats like that on Tuesdays episode of Kevin Clarks This Is Football podcast, a 30-year-old Allen showcased his resilience and unwavering confidence in what the franchise has been striving toward.Definitely, we've watched it, Allen said of the Bills heartbreaking, turnover-riddled 33-30 setback to the Broncos in the playoffs last season. We've put it in the past. We've learned from it. And we've been in the playoffs a lot of times in the last however many years I've been here now just continuing to find ways to learn from it. And I think it's a hard pill to swallow sometimes because we haven't gotten it done. But you knock enough at the door, it's going to open at some point. And that's just what we have to keep doing is keep knocking on that door and giving ourselves chances to be in that situation again.I asked Josh Allen how he processes last year's playoff loss now. "Next question." (He was joking) "If you knock enough on the door it's going to open at some point. What we have to keep doing is keep knocking...and give ourselves chances to be in that position again." https://t.co/Wbi9CEa1Itpic.twitter.com/GYmjgLzhOv Kevin Clark (@bykevinclark) August 4, 2026During the 2024 campaign, the Bills made it to the AFC championship for the second time during Allens run as QB1. Buffalo took a one-point lead into the fourth quarter and then answered a Kansas City Chiefs touchdown by knotting the game up with six minutes and change to go before Kansas City pocketed a field goal and turned the Bills over on downs near midfield (a fourth-down drop by tight end Dalton Kincaid left a particularly strong sting).That marked the fourth time the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs ousted the Allen-piloted Bills in the playoffs. The series most famous or infamous, depending on who you ask matchup arrived amid the 2021 season. In the divisional round, the Chiefs marched downfield in 13 seconds to set up a game-tying field goal and, in turn, an overtime win that shocked Allen and the Bills, who seemed primed for victory in Arrowhead Stadium. That game prompted the NFL to change its overtime rules.Perhaps internally, Allen has become calloused because of those agonizing shortcomings. That said, the hope he conveys burns brighter than ever.Through it all, hes continued to grow as a leader. Josh has always been mature beyond his years, especially off the field, Bills president of football operations and GM Brandon Beane told Clark in Tuesdays episode. I just think he's come to the point where if you look at his progression as a player and a member of this team, early on, he just wanted to play and lead on the field but wasn't really going to tell people do's and don'ts, things like that. Then, over time, he starts to [assert himself as] the offensive leader. I think you saw it last year, and you really have seen it this offseason, a guy that he's not even afraid to go talk to the defense and lead those guys.Beane, who drafted Allen No. 7 overall in 2018 out of Wyoming and has been with the Bills since 2017 after working for the Carolina Panthers from 1998-2016, explained that Allen previously worried about stepping on the toes of defensive veterans.I think now he knows, Beane said, that they want him tell him, 'Hey, we need it better. We need a stop here.' Whatever it needs to be. And I think that just comes. You can't rush that.Beane added: Now that he's a dad and he's married, he's as determined as ever. He's got a huge chip on his shoulder to bring this trophy to Buffalo and all [of] Bills Mafia.The Bills moved on from longtime head coach Sean McDermott following last seasons fateful loss to the Broncos. Then they promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to fill that vacancy. Brady brought aboard Jim Leonhard to run the defense, which now features a 3-4 scheme.If the Bills finally win the Super Bowl this season, it will be because why, Clark asked.Because we were the most connected team, Beane said, filling in the blank. We had a lot of fun. Obviously, you got to have health. But I think it's all those things. We handled whatever adversity hit us. The car got off the road, we got it right back on, and we just move it ahead. And I think those are the teams I've been to two Super Bowls. Those are what those teams both had in common. When the adversity hit, they just shrugged it off. No big deal. Next game, next week, we know we're good. And that's what you want to see from this team, that confident swagger.

One major domino fell toward a new long-term deal for Detroit Lions superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs.Two-time Pro Bowler Bijan Robinson reached agreement on a three-year extension with the Atlanta Falcons worth up to $75 million that will make him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. Robinson will receive $51 million guaranteed and the Falcons star will now make $22.25 million per year, surpassing thePhiladelphia Eagles'Saquon Barkley($20.6 million) as the highest-paid running back in average per year.Throughout this offseason, many have felt that Gibbs and Robinson's extensions would be linked to one another as both look to reset the running back market with new deals. Now that Robinson's deal has been finalized, will that help expedite Gibbs' new deal?Lions head coach Dan Campbell was asked on Tuesday morning if he thought Robinson's extension could help Gibbs and Detroit get to the finish line on a new deal."I mean, I think it's certainly not going to hurt. It's not going to hurt. But, we'll see. Look, I'm anxious to get Gibbs back out there. Every day that goes by, that's another day that you feel like you missed with him and getting him out there with the guys and him doing his part. But, there again, it'll get done when it gets done," Campbell said.Gibbs is in the midst of a hold-in at Lions training camp as he negotiates for an extension. In his first public remarks since beginning his hold-in, Gibbs told reporters on Monday that "only time will tell" when he's back on the field.Gibbs holds the NFL record for most touchdowns scored in a player's first three seasons with 49. The 5-foot-9, 202-pound back has registered consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons and has run for 3,580 yards in his first three NFL seasons. Gibbs has added an additional 1,449 receiving yards.For moreLionscoverage, follow us on X,@TheLionsWire, and give ourFacebookpage a like.Follow Josh on X,@JoshOnLionsThis article originally appeared on Lions Wire: Lions talk Jahmyr Gibbs contract after Bijan Robinson extension

USA TODAY released their first college football Coaches Poll for the 2026 season and while it should come as no surprise that the UCLA Bruins didnt crack the Top-25, new UCLA head coach Bob Chesney saw his former team, the James Madison Dukes earn some votes.Like UCLA, James Madison did not make the Top-25, but the Dukes, fresh off of a College Football Playoffs appearance, garnered six votes in this week's poll. JMUs time in the CFP was short-lived, with the Oregon Ducks blowing out the Dukes in Round One, but even without Chesney in the fold, JMU has earned some respect.Chesney took a lot of talent with him to Los Angeles but the Dukes should have enough talent to remain near the top of the Sun Belt Conference. JMU was the only Sun Belt school to earn votes in the Coaches Poll.The Big Ten Conference received much more recognition in the inaugural Coaches Poll of the season, with Ohio State sitting in the No. 1 spot with Oregon right behind them at No. 2. The defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers find themselves at No. 6 despite coming off of an unbeaten season.In total, there are eight Big Ten teams in the Top-25, with No. 14 USC, No. 16 Michigan, No. 17 Penn State, No. 19 Washington and No. 22 Iowa all making the cut. Its been awhile since UCLA last cracked the Coaches Poll, having not accomplished the feat since October of 2023 when Chip Kelly was still the Bruins head coach.This article originally appeared on UCLA Wire: Bob Chesney's former school earns votes in first Coaches Poll of 2026

Manchester United Identify This La Liga Youngster As A Target: One For The Future?In a recent report, Sport claimed that Manchester United have identified Racing Santander youngster Jorge Salinas as a target for this summer transfer window. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are willing to trigger the Spanish defenders release clause to beat Barcelona in the race to land him this off-season.Salinas Impressive Form In La LigaSalinas enjoyed a good run of form at the Spanish club in the previous campaign when he produced a series of impressive displays for them on the left flank. The 19-year-old picked up seven assists in 34 matches for Rayo Vallecano last season across all competitions.The Spanish teenager is currently one of the most gifted young defenders in La Liga. Thus, the Red Devils would do well to win the race for his services in this transfer period.His current contract at the Spanish club will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for Man United to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.Santander, SPAIN MAY 16: Jorge Salinas of Real Racing Club de Santander controls the ball while under pressure from Juanmi Latasa of Real Valladolid CF during the LaLiga Hypermotion match between Real Racing Club de Santander and Real Valladolid CF at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero on May 16, 2026 in Santander, Spain. (Photo by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty Images)Manchester United Have Identified Salinas As A Target: Is He A Prospect For The Future?Salinas is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger quickly to make some important interceptions at the back for his team. He usually clears his lines when required and is a good passer of the ball.The Spanish whizkid can even engineer some inviting chances for his teammates to score and can contribute by picking up his fair share of assists from the left flank. Salinas is primarily a left-back but can also play as a centre-back if told to do so. However, there are some concerns over whether he can adapt to the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to sign him later this year.Salinas would improve the quality of Man United boss Michael Carricks defence in the long run. He is already good enough to compete for regular first-team football at Old Trafford.At 19, the future looks quite bright for Salinas. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the long term, so Man United should consider triggering his release clause to bring him to the Theatre of Dreams this summer.

Manchester City Are In Talks To Recruit This Ligue 1 Midfielder: A Star In The Making?In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Manchester City are in talks to recruit Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. It has been claimed that the Mancunian club have already agreed terms with the Morocco international and remain in discussions to sign him this summer.Bouaddis Impressive Rise In French FootballBouaddi enjoyed a solid campaign at the French club as he put in a string of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. The Moroccan talent secured one assist but failed to find the back of the net in 42 matches for Lille last season across all competitions.The 18-year-old is currently among the best young midfielders in Ligue 1. Hence, Man City would do well to get him on board in this transfer window.Boauddi is under contract at Lille until the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for the Mancunian giants to sign him on the cheap later this year.HOUSTON, TEXAS JULY 04: Ayyoub Bouaddi #6 of Morocco arrives at the stadium before the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match between Canada and Morocco at Houston Stadium on July 04, 2026 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)Manchester City Are In Talks To Recruit Bouaddi: Is He A Star In The Making?Bouaddi loves a tackle and can read the danger well to secure possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and is an accurate distributor as well from midfield.The Morocco international can even use his strong 1.85m frame to win a few 50-50 aerial duels for his team. Bouaddi is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder if told to do so. However, there are some question marks over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of Premier League football if Man City manage to get a deal over the line for him this summer.We can expect Bouaddi to bring more bite and steel to Enzo Marescas midfield in the long run. He is already capable of fighting for a regular starting place at the Etihad Stadium in the coming seasons.At 18, the future looks quite promising for Bouaddi as long as he continues to improve with each year. He is undoubtedly a star in the making. Therefore, Maresca should focus on stepping up his efforts to acquire Bouaddis services before the end of this transfer period.
