Why the Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson Week 1...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

It’s an MVP edition of Scoop City! Reigning MVP Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are set to host two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. To help break it all down, we welcomed The Athletic’s senior NFL writer Mike Silver to share insights on the matchup and detail his latest article about Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins.


The 2025 NFL regular season will be the second year for many young quarterbacks. Among that group is Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. The 2024 eighth overall pick is set to start his first full season at the helm of the Falcons offense. Silver, along with senior NFL insider Dianna Russini and Scoop City co-host James Palmer, discusses the Buccaneers and Falcons matchup. Plus, the trio analyzes if the Chicago Bears have concerns about Caleb Williams and how much pressure is on J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings.


In the Big Apple, the New York Jets suffered a tough loss to their revamped offensive line. Russini has the scoop. The New York Giants officially named Jaxson Dart as the backup QB. Will tBig Blue be the first team to make a QB change this season? Russini and Palmer discuss.


And, in a lighter segment, staff senior writer and of The Pulse, Chris Branch, joins Scoop City to ask our experts how to best prepare for Week 1’s tailgating scene. Plus, which game should you have your spouse watch? All that and more on this episode of Scoop City!
