Bills edge Jaguars for first road playoff win in 33 years

posted in: All news | 0

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Josh Allen took a pounding, doled out punishment and delivered Buffalo its first road playoff victory in more than three decades, 27-24 over Jacksonville in the AFC’s wild-card opener Sunday.

With linebacker Devin Lloyd bearing down on him, Allen found Brandin Cooks for 36 yards just before the two-minute warning and then capped the go-ahead drive with a 1-yard touchdown run in which Jacksonville let him score.

On the play before his score, Allen gained 10 yards on a sneak, refusing to go down while being pushed and pulled to the goal line.

“Just trusting everybody on the field,” Allen said. “Great win, great team win. All we’ve got to do is play our game, find a way to win a football game. We’re on to the next.”

Buffalo will play at Denver or New England next week, a chance to build a road winning streak after a decades-long skid.

“We got to go do it again. We got to go do it again,” Allen said.

Focused on getting rid of the ball quickly and negating Jacksonville’s pass rush most of the game, Allen completed 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown. He ran for two scores, was sacked just once and played turnover-free football. Khalil Shakir caught 12 passes for 82 yards for the Bills.

It was necessary considering NFL rushing leader James Cook was mostly bottled up, finishing with 46 yards on 15 carries.

“You know, we’re going to play for each other, we’re gonna fight to the very last second, and you saw that here today,” Allen said.

Buffalo (13-5) intercepted a deflected pass on Jacksonville’s final drive to seal the victory.

The Bills had been 0-5 on the road in the playoffs under coach Sean McDermott, starting with a 10-3 loss at Jacksonville in the 2017 wild-card round. The Bills had dropped eight consecutive postseason games on the road since winning at Miami in the 1992 AFC championship game. It had been the NFL’s second-longest, active road playoff skid.

The Jaguars (13-5) took the lead with 4:03 to play on Trevor Lawrence’s third TD pass of the game, but they couldn’t hold it against the NFL’s reigning MVP.

Lawrence completed 18 of 30 passes for 207 yards, with TD throws to Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington and Travis Etienne. Washington finished with seven catches for 107 yards.

Coach Liam Coen surely will get questioned for not running the ball more against one of the league’s most porous run defenses.

Etienne and rookie Bhayshul Tuten combined for 118 yards on just 14 carries.

Cam Knowles remains frontrunner to be Loons’ next head coach

posted in: All news | 0

The exit of Eric Ramsay as Minnesota United’s head coach became official Sunday, and the Loons drew closer to naming current assistant coach Cam Knowles as his successor, a source told the Pioneer Press.

Ramsay leaves United to become the next head coach at West Bromwich Albion in the English second division. Since he was under contract for the 2026 MLS season, West Brom will need to compensate MNUFC for his services. Those terms have not yet been disclosed.

Knowles has been considered a frontrunner since Ramsay’s move to England developed late last week. The club said in a news release Sunday that it is “currently in the final stages of selecting its next head coach and will have more to share in the coming days.”

Knowles was the Loons’ interim head coach at the start of the 2024 season, when Ramsay was finishing up his time at Manchester United. Knowles shepherded the team through the first three games of that campaign, going 2-0-1.

Knowles then became an assistant for Ramsay for the past two seasons. Before that, the New Zealand native was the head coach of MNUFC2, the team’s developmental team in MLS Next Pro in 2022-23, with a record of 19-20-13. He previously spent nine years with the Portland Timbers.

Ramsay capped a highly successful two seasons with the Loons, including three semifinal appearances: the 2025 and ’24 Western Conference semifinals and 2025 U.S. Open Cup semi. Last season, the Loons set a club record with 58 points in a 34-game season.

“I’ll look back with nothing but fond memories and real pride in what we achieved together,” Ramsay said in a statement. “I’ve had the privilege of working with an outstanding staff and a talented group of players who have been honest, professional, and committed, all backed by the tremendous support of the Loons’ fanbase.”

Ramsay, who was the youngest head coach in MLS, has been routinely linked to other open positions during his time in Minnesota.

“From day one, we have supported Eric’s professional ambitions,” Loons Chief Soccer Officer Khaled El-Ahmad said in a statement. “We wish him nothing but success as he takes on this next opportunity. We are confident in the foundation in place and will continue to build with purpose and continuity moving forward.”

Loons assistant coach Dennis Lawrence will join Ramsay at West Brom.

The Loons’ first preseason training session will be Monday in Blaine and they will head to Irvine, Calif., for prep from Thursday to Jan. 24. MNUFC’s first game is Feb. 21 at Austin FC.

Gophers take another running back transfer in Elon’s TJ Thomas

posted in: All news | 0

The Gophers added more running back depth with the commitment of Elon transfer TJ Thomas Jr., on Saturday night.

Thomas showed versatility in two years at the FCS level and the 5-foot-8, 190-pounder from Thomasville, Ga., will have two years remaining for Minnesota.

Across nine games in 2025, Thomas had 91 carries for 384 yards and six touchdowns, adding 15 receptions for 124 yards, 16 kickoff returns for 441 yards and two punt returns for 36 yards.

In eight games in 2024, the true freshman totaled 89 carries for 588 yards and five TDs, 13 catches for 108 yards and one TD, along with 12 kickoff returns for 245 yards.

Pro Football Focus gave Thomas good grades a season ago: 67.8 overall and 71.5 rushing. He played 315 offensive snaps in 2025.

Thomas is the 18th player to commit to Minnesota since the portal opened on Jan. 2 and the second running back after to-be redshirt freshman Jaron Thomas of Purdue committed on the first day.
