Around the AFC
MV3. What a season it’s been for quarterbacks in the AFC. Any of Buffalo’s Josh Allen, Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson or Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow would be worthy of the award most years. They all enter Week 18 with 40-plus touchdowns — Burrow 44 (42 passing), Jackson 43 (39 passing) and Allen 40 (28 passing) — and eight or fewer interceptions.
Michael Malone’s inner monologue might be too cartoonishly profane for him to share on live television.

Perhaps more than any player in the NBA today, Michael Porter Jr. is the actualization of positional size, a basketball principle that drives front offices such as Denver’s.
He’s a “small forward” only in title, towering over most wings with a 6-foot-10 stature that doubles the potency of his 3-pointer. There is no such thing as a contested shot for Porter, who’s 42% from the perimeter this season.
Atlanta’s Trae Young represents the polar opposite of positional size.
