Tried, couldn’t for the Las Vegas franchise

The NFL season is long and there are sometimes meetings to forget for certain players, coaches or franchises. A quick overview that will make some laugh and cry others.
When it starts like this
Intra-division clashes are sometimes preceded by trash-talk, provocations and more and more as the season draws to a close. Some days the Raiders, in order to mark their territory, held a meeting directly on the Chiefs logo before Game 14. Halftime score, 35-0 for the Chiefs.
Worse, on the first action of a match which was therefore apparently to show the ascendancy of Las Vegas over their rivals, Josh Jacobs made a fumble which directly gave the advantage to Kansas City since Mike Hughes recovered the ball on the ground before returning it to the end zone

Like what, it is better to be certain of your superiority before going to provoke a team which won the title less than two years ago.
Washington: stingy or just smart?
Funny story on the side of the capital. During the pre-match, the American media noticed benches in the Cowboys colors in the Football Team stadium. The reason ? Apparently, Dallas, having been in contact with another franchise would have discovered that the benches reserved for the opposing team were not really up to NFL standards in terms of comfort.
The Cowboys really flew their benches from Dallas for their game in Washington today ???? @brgridiron

Jerry Jones, concerned that his proteges do not suffer from frostbite in the behind, therefore decided to have the Cowboys’ own heated benches transported across the country to keep his players warm. So, a technique to destabilize the adversary from Washington or from stinginess? Anyway, we can take one thing from it. Providing for the Jerry!
AFC East
There are things that are frustrating and remain so for a long time. The performance of AFC East franchises against Tom Brady for example. The Bills are in confirmation season. Josh Allen had to prove that he was one of the top quarterbacks in this league and for that, you need benchmark wins. Beating Tom Brady who has plagued the division for so long would have been one.

Unfortunately, the bills got their feet in the carpet again. Of course, they came back, they fought, but in the end, they left with a frustrating defeat and must now fight for a place in the playoffs. If we had said that after Week 14 New England would be ahead of Buffalo, many would have laughed. And yet, life in the NFL is unforgivable, but a great end to the season is not impossible because the Bills have a lot of qualities.
