Josh Allen Won't Become 'Captain Checkdown'

Jun 12, 2020 7:46 AM

Josh Allen insists he won't change the way he plays football.

"I'm not going to be Captain Checkdown," Allen said. "I'm going to continue to play the game the way I love it."

Pro Football Focus recently published a report that showed over the past two years, Allen threw just 20 checkdowns on 880 attempts. The Buffalo Bills quarterback did admit he must improve his completion percentage.

"Late in games, they're not trying to force things," Allen said.

Jake Fromm Sorry For Saying 'Elite White People' In Gun Discussion

Jun 4, 2020 4:27 PM

Jake Fromm issued an apology Thursday after screen grabs of text messages from March 2019 emerged Wednesday night on Twitter that showed Fromm using the phrase "elite white people" during a conversation on guns.

Fromm issued the following apology in a statement on Twitter:

"I am extremely sorry that I chose to use the words 'elite white people' in a text message conversation," Fromm said. "Although I never meant to imply that I am an 'elite white person,' as stated later in the conversation, there's no excuse for that word choice and sentiment. While it was poor, my heart is not. Now, more than ever, is the time for support and togetherness and I stand against racism 100%. I promise to commit myself to being a part of the solution in this country. I addressed my teammates and coaches in a team meeting today and I hope they see this incident is not representative of the person I am. Again, I'm truly sorry for my words and actions and humbly ask for forgiveness."

Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier addressed Fromm's apology during a scheduled video conference with reporters Thursday.

"I think we have a mature enough team that our leaders are going to reach out to him and work with him," Frazier said, per ESPN.com.

"Jake seemed very sincere in his apology. We have a very strong culture on our team. Those guys are going to be able to sift through what is real and what isn't real."
