ja'marr chase has the last laugh

• Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver (and rookie of the year) Ja'Marr Chase had the last laugh when Les Miles questioned his potential. Chase undoubtedly used this slight to motivate him throughout his college career and into the NFL. I think it's safe to say he's shown him so far.
  

Asked Ja'Marr Chase about one of his biggest motivators growing up:

"Les Miles told me I couldn’t play receiver when I was coming out of high school." #Bengals @fox19

• The New York Giants were the worst team in the NFL this season, and they have a big question at the quarterback position. Unfortunately, they are set on sticking with Daniel Jones, who has to come back from sucking and a neck injury. Owner John Mara says one quarterback door can be closed, though: They're not going to be acquiring Deshaun Watson, despite a recent report that Watson was interesting in coming to New York.
  

Wow. John Mara: “We are not trading for DeShaun Watson.”

• Again, I love this trend. Buffalo Bills fans have famously donated to various causes related to their team. But this time, it was Kansas City Chiefs fans who donated. Chiefs fans donated $13 to Josh Allen's charity after winning this past weekend in the divisional round. They have raised almost $200,000 to the charity, which benefits Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo.
  

An incredible $178,000 from over 9800 donors has been donated in just over 24 hours from #ChiefsKingdom Thank you all! These donations help the ongoing need and ensure our team has the tools, training and programs to care for the kids in WNY ❤️ pic.twitter.com/wWXvDXxjXF
