Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is entering the 2025
NFL
season not just with a ring on his finger, but also with a renewed sense of purpose. Fresh off his wedding to actress-singer Hailee Steinfeld, Allen is riding a wave of personal and professional momentum—and the numbers prove it.
Josh Allen's dominance forces comparisons with Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks
Despite falling short of the
Super Bowl
last season, Allen's MVP campaign silenced critics and turned heads across the league. With 3,731 passing yards, 28 touchdowns through the air, and an additional 531 rushing yards with 12 rushing TDs, Allen's performance was unmatched. Over the last three seasons, he's totaled a staggering 126 touchdowns—more than any other quarterback in that span.
The stat becomes even more impressive when compared to his rivals.
He's recorded 21 more total touchdowns than Jalen Hurts and has surpassed both Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, who are tied behind him. This remarkable feat places Allen in a league of his own—even though Mahomes and Hurts have hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
A new era under
Joe Brady
and a clear message: start fresh, dominate again
Heading into training camp on July 23, the Bills are switching gears under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady. His plan is simple but disciplined: build the offense from the ground up, even with an MVP quarterback at the helm.
'You don't get to pick off where you left off, and we really don't want to,' Brady said. 'Josh embodies that, we're starting over.' The focus is on refining every detail of the playbook, which Brady says can even benefit a veteran like Allen: 'Sometimes you think you know everything... if you really humble yourself to just starting over, there's always little things you can pick up.'

With 11 open practices and a new uniform reveal scheduled for August 1, excitement in Buffalo is at a peak. The Bills are betting big on Allen—and the MVP is carrying the weight of those expectations. With elite numbers and a fresh start under a new coordinator, Allen is making it clear: this season isn't about catching up to Mahomes and Hurts. It's about surpassing them.

IND vs ENG: 'Gamble worth taking, but …' - Former England captain weighs in on Jofra Archer's Test comeback
Jofra Archer (Getty Images) Former England captain Nasser Hussain has weighed in on the return of Jofra Archer to England's Test squad, calling it a "gamble worth taking," but expressed caution about slotting him directly into the playing XI for the second Test against India at Edgbaston. Archer, who last played a Test in February 2021, has been named in the squad for the second Test starting July 2. The 30-year-old has battled persistent elbow and back injuries in recent years, and made his red-ball return earlier this week for Sussex, bowling 18 overs against Durham and picking up 1/32. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Hussain, speaking to Sky Sports, acknowledged the emotional and physical toll of Archer's comeback: "Firstly, you have to say it's good news for Archer and England in that Jof must have been through so much with those [elbow and back injuries], the rehab, the pain, the mental torment of continually getting injured and making comebacks, so it's great to see him back in the squad… he hasn't played a Test match for four years. " Gambhir & Agarkar Plot at the Birmingham Nets | Key Talks Ahead of 2nd Test vs England However, the former skipper cautioned against rushing Archer into the XI for Edgbaston. "I think it's too much of a risk this week, but it may have gone so well - I don't know Jofra Archer's body - it may have gone so well that they say, 'we'll play you this week'. Then the problem is, who do you leave out?" Despite that, Hussain remained optimistic about the long-term value of Archer's return. "I do think it is a gamble worth taking, I just don't know if it's worth taking this week. I would do it a week after at Lord's." England lead the five-match series 1-0 after their five-wicket win at Leeds. The rest of the squad remains unchanged for Edgbaston.

What to Stream: The Bear, Lorde, Smoke, A Minecraft Movie, Nosferatu and Nelly and Ashanti
The Jack Black-led movie phenomenon 'A Minecraft Movie' and Lorde's fourth studio album, "Virgin," are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: All 10 episodes of season four of FX's 'The Bear' drop Wednesday, Nelly and Ashanti get their own reality show and Bill Skarsgård leads an update of the 1922 silent vampire classic 'Nosferatu.' — The Porky Pig and Daffy Duck movie 'The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie' comes to HBO Max on Friday (it will also broadcast on HBO on June 28 at 8 p.m. ET). Reviews were a little mixed, but mostly positive for the full-length animated feature. Bob Strauss wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that 'The laugh ratio is more hit-and-miss than in the tightly scripted shorts, but enough jokes land to satisfy most funny bones.' The film had a wild ride to end up where it was originally intended, including a theatrical release in December not from Warner Bros. but Ketchup Entertainment (who will also distribute the previously shelved 'Coyote vs. Acme' ). — Mariska Hargitay's documentary about her mother Jayne Mansfield, 'My Mom Jayne,' will also be streaming on HBO Max on Friday. The Hollywood bombshell died in a car accident at 34, when Hargitay was only 3. — La-la-la-lava, ch-ch-ch-chicken, Steve's lava chicken is now streaming on HBO Max, as is the rest of 'A Minecraft Movie.' A box office phenomenon with over $950 million in worldwide ticket sales and counting, this movie adaptation of the popular game stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa. In his AP review, Mark Kennedy wrote that 'the Jared Hess-directed action-adventure artfully straddles the line between delighting preteen gamers and keeping their parents awake. It's an often-bananas adaptation, with bizarre digressions into turquoise blouses and tater tot pizzas. It has Jennifer Coolidge being very Jennifer Coolidge. Need we say more?' — Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård lead the Robert Eggers-directed update of the 1922 silent vampire classic 'Nosferatu,' streaming on Prime Video starting Friday. Jocelyn Noveck wrote in her AP review that 'it will chill you to the bone' but that 'it may not terrify you.' Everything, she adds, in Eggers 'faithful, even adoring remake... looks great. But with its stylized, often stilted dialogue and overly dramatic storytelling, it feels more like everyone is living in a quaint period painting rather than a world populated by real humans (and, well, vampires) made of flesh and, er, blood.' — What will the next era of Lorde look like? 'What Was That,' the singer's first new single in four years, recalls the clever synth-pop of her 2017 album 'Melodrama,' casting aside the folk detour of 2021's 'Solar Power.' The song that followed, 'Man of the Year,' is stripped and spare – just Lorde and a sorrowful bass. Who knows what will come next? Listeners will have to wait until Friday when she releases her fourth studio album, 'Virgin.' (Read AP's review.) — The 'F1' movie, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, is quickly gearing up to be a summer tentpole. Naturally, the filmmakers knew its sound had to be massive, too. That arrives via a score by the many-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and a huge soundtrack releasing as 'F1 The Album' via Atlantic Records, the team behind the award-winning 'Barbie' album — with bespoke tracks from Chris Stapleton, Ed Sheeran, Myke Towers, Blackpink's Rosé, Tate McRae and many more. Learn all about how the soundtrack came together here. — On Friday, arty alt-rock legends Failure will receive documentary treatment in 'Every Time You Lose Your Mind: A Film about Failure,' available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney . The unorthodox and influential band finally gets their due in the project, directed by frontman Ken Andrews. And don't worry if Failure isn't a familiar name to you. Some of the featured voices in the documentary certainly will be: Paramore's Hayley Williams, actor Jason Schwartzman, comedian Margaret Cho, legendary producers Steve Albini and Butch Vig and many more participate. — All 10 episodes of season four of FX's 'The Bear' dropped Wednesday on Hulu. Viewers will find out if Michelin-starred chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) can successfully run an acclaimed and profitable fine dining restaurant in Chicago. The series has led to acting awards for White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Colón-Zayas. — Jensen Ackles ('Supernatural,' 'Tracker') stars in a new crime thriller series for Prime Video called 'Countdown.' Ackles plays a LAPD detective assigned to a task force investigating the murder of a government official. Eric Dane of 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Euphoria' also stars. It premiered Wednesday. — Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's second shot at love didn't work out but there's another celebrity couple who has rekindled a past flame. Recording artists Nelly and Ashanti were an item for more than 10 years before their breakup in 2013. They got back together in 2023 and are now married with a son. The pair are the subject of their own reality show called 'Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together.' It debuted Thursday on Peacock. — Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett star in the new thriller 'Smoke' for Apple TV as investigators working together to catch two serial arsonists. It's created by Dennis Lehane and based on a true story where an arson investigator turned out to be a serial arsonist. 'Smoke' reunites Egerton and Lehane who worked on the Apple limited-series 'Blackbird." John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear also appear in 'Smoke,' out Friday. — 'Nautilus,' a reimagining of Jules Verne's novel 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas' comes to AMC Friday. It's an origin story of the character known as Captain Nemo and portrayed by Shazad Latif. Nemo is an Indian prince whose birthright was stolen from him and he's on a mission for revenge. — In 2019's Death Stranding, a courier named Sam worked to reconnect survivors in a postapocalyptic America beset by 'beached things,' gooey monsters trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead. Sam is back in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, but now he faces a question we've all asked in the internet age: Was connecting everyone really such a good idea? The series is the brainchild of legendary 'Metal Gear Solid' mastermind Hideo Kojima, and fans know they can expect a complex story, flamboyant graphics and some off-the-wall gameplay ideas. (The original included a lot of walking and inventory management next to some mind-blowing boss battles.) Norman Reedus of 'The Walking Dead' returns as Sam, and yes, he's still carrying a baby who has psychic powers. Embrace the weirdness Thursday on PlayStation 5.
