Jalen Hurts and the Eagles preserved the only undefeated record in the NFL, beating the Cowboys 26-17. In Kansas City, Josh Allen hurdled to victory (literally) and led the Buffalo Bills on a game-winning drive over the Chiefs, in a rematch of last year's explosive AFC Divisional Round matchup. 17: Josh Allen Hurdles Chiefs, Eagles Soar, & NY Football is Back? And he makes us smarter about the drama on the court itself. So, today, as the season tips off tonight, we consult the very particular brain of Zach Lowe, who studies these games more deeply than anyone else in the business.
