Welcome back to Big Dill Sports! I'm your host, Dillon, here to guide you through another thrilling week of the NFL. This is your "Gridiron Update," diving into all the highlights, headlines, and the players who are truly a "big dill" each week. So, let’s tackle the action starting with Thursday Night Football.

Last Thursday, the Buffalo Bills showed us why they're a force to be reckoned with this season. They took down the Miami Dolphins 31-21 at Highmark Stadium. James Cook was unstoppable on the ground, racking up 109 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. But it wasn't just Cook making waves. Josh Allen extended his unbeaten streak on Thursday Night Football to 8-0. He went 24 of 35 for 276 yards and scored three times. The Dolphins had some flashes, especially from rookie De’Von Achane and Ollie Gordon II, who combined for 100 rushing yards and a score. Even with linebacker Tyrel Dodson leading Miami’s defense with 11 tackles and a sack, Buffalo's balanced attack was just too much.

As we roll into Week 3, injuries are reshaping plans across the league. The Las Vegas Raiders have some concerns at the line with both Tyree Wilson and Christian Wilkins dealing with knee issues. Over in LA, the Chargers are keeping a close eye on Justin Herbert’s high-ankle sprain. And Jacksonville has its challenges too, with Tank Bigsby and Evan Engram dealing with injuries. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have their fingers crossed for Tua’s recovery, and Tampa Bay’s fans are eager for Rob Gronkowski’s possible return.

On the roster move front, there’s always something cooking. The Giants made a surprising cut by letting go of Xavier Gipson. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh strengthened their defense by promoting Henry Mondeaux. And Jacksonville is bracing for potential backfield issues, adding Nathan Cottrell to the mix. It’s a constant shuffle as teams work to stay competitive through the 17-game slog.

Now, let's talk about Monday Night Football. The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs will face the winless New York Giants, and conspiracy theories are swirling! Some suggest the NFL won’t let a top franchise like the Chiefs take a skid. But beyond the chatter, both teams have real issues to address—Kansas City’s red-zone efficiency and New York’s offensive line.

Shifting gears to the off-field buzz, Tom Brady’s back in the spotlight. The seven-time Super Bowl champ is gearing up for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia next March. At 48, Brady’s competitive spirit is alive and kicking, joining stars like Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley. This event underscores the NFL’s global ambitions and could even steer flag football toward an Olympic debut.

Finally, it’s time for our player spotlight—the “Big Dill” of the week. This time, it goes to Josh Allen. His leadership on Thursday night was nothing short of spectacular, maintaining his perfect record in prime time and setting the tone for Buffalo’s victory. Allen is proving game after game that he’s a game-changer, making him the undeniable big dill this week.

That's a wrap for today's Gridiron Update! Stay tuned as we continue to follow every play, player, and game that makes this NFL season one to remember. I'm Dillon, and this is Big Dill Sports, where every play is a big deal. Until next time, keep your eyes on the game and your ears on the podcast. Catch you soon!
