It’s no big deal at One Buc Palace. The award has been won already this season by running backs Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving.

Through 14 games, Mayfield has 3,617 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and is completing at a whopping 70.8 percentage rate.

What a wonderful day it is to dislike the Falcons. (more…)
