And in the first game of the regular season here on Thursday Night Football, the Buffalo Bills currently lead the Los Angeles Rams 31-10. There's a little more than two minutes left in the game. A timeout was just taken by the Rams before they hit the two minute warning. And the reality is it was a few minutes away right before we went to break from the Buffalo Bills scoring again. The Rams turned the ball over.

Josh Allen, the Bills got it. They went right towards the end zone and they fumbled the ball. And so now the Rams have it and they're trying to stay alive. And for the life of me, this will be their final and last stand. It only takes a touchdown, two scores, three scores to get them back into the game.

Wilder things have happened. But we have heard oh so much about Matthew Stafford and his damn elbow. But I'm like, what are we doing here? Why do you need him out there throwing Hail Marys? You're trying to limit his throws in the offseason. You're trying to limit his throws in practice. Why are we adding to the tally in a game that's pretty much out of reach? And sure you want to go down to every last play.

You want to get as much juice out of the squeeze as you can. You got to know when to stop. Matthew Stafford, after learning today that he did have offseason surgery on that elbow, he spoke to the media and he said, listen, folks, everybody chill. It's fine. It's fine. I'm fine.

Listen, no limitations. You know, still think there's I don't know. I feel great. I mean, I'm ready to go play. Can always be better.

Can I try to feel like I'm 21 again? I'll keep trying. But no, I feel I feel really good. Feel like I make every throw.

I don't know what else you need to hear from me. Unfortunately, he can make every throw. And it's going to the other team tonight. And not every interception is his own fault. Some of them have been tips. Matthew Stafford has thrown three interceptions.

This is the version that people don't want to see. Sometimes he's hot. Sometimes he's not. He went through a stretch last season where Matthew Stafford was just just throwing picks. He tied for the NFL lead last season.

If you think about the starters, guys who actually have a chance to throw the ball, he had 17 of them. And so he continues that trend tonight. People will be talking about him, his elbow, the offense, like the Rams didn't just win the Super Bowl.

And so prepare yourselves. These Los Angeles Rams are champs. And Cooper Cup, damn it, he's damn Cooper Cup might score a touchdown here.

It might be too late, though. Los Angeles Rams trying to put some points on the board here. We'll keep you updated on that game as it continues. Matthew Stafford, Super Bowl champ. Sean McVay, by the way, got an extension today. And over on the college football side, this is a little hilarious and I want to fill you in on it. Throughout the course of this off season, this has been the time for college football coaches to be paid. Kirby Smart finally, finally beats Alabama in what Nick Saban calls a rebuilding year.

And so how is Kirby Smart rewarded? Year after year after year, I sit down, I watch the Georgia Bulldogs, they lose, they choke. They go to the SEC Championship game, they lose, they stink.

They don't get over the hump. This past season, they actually went. Kirby Smart, for a single season, he gets a salary up. He gets a contract extension. It pays him $11.2 million a year. He finally got over the hump and he was rewarded for it.

And so what happens as a result? Nick Saban says, there's no way in hell I'm going to let Kirby Smart make more money than Kirby Smart make more money than me in any season. In a Crimson Tide, give Nick Saban $11.7 million a season. And so Kirby Smart couldn't even enjoy the fact that he was the highest paid coach for a few months. He couldn't even go into the start of the college football season being the highest paid coach because Nick Saban said, no, no, no, no. If Kirby Smart is going to make $11.2 million, you better pay me a half million dollars more.

And so if you're Kirby Smart, fine. It's Nick Saban, no problemo. Today, Kirby Smart got jumped again. He's not number two, which he typically is to Alabama. This time he falls to number three, Dabo Sweeney of Clemson, basically moving into his 15th year.

It sounds crazy to say that already. His 15th season as head coach, Dabo Sweeney, he just got a new contract. He just got an extension. And how much money is he going to make? Well, if Nick Saban is making $11.7 million, if Kirby Smart is at $11.2 million, then Dabo Sweeney, he has to fit somewhere in the middle, right? $11.5 million a year. Dabo Sweeney, his extension takes him over the next 10 years.

That is $115 million. His contract will take him through 2023. And we know about the success that Dabo has had. He is Mr. Positivity. He's Mr. I'm going to cheer everybody up. He is Mr.

Awesome. Two national championships, an 80% winning percentage, seven ACC championships. They know how to beat the living hell out of Georgia Tech. We know that much.

And so how much is that worth? More than Kirby Smart. Not enough is Nick Saban.

Nobody will ever go past him. And if you do, Nick Saban will say, pay me more. And so Dabo has the cash.

He also has two championships now to Kirby Smart's one. And so Dabo, he talked to Rich Eisen about his new deal, about his money. And this is what he had to say. Honestly, it's something that our new AD, Graham Neff, approached, you know, my age is about really last December.

And so something that and I think he just wanted to, you know, he really kind of drove the time to be honest with you. And so just thankful and humbled and, you know, grateful to him and our board and just, you know, all the players and staff that we've had for all the years here and to have the opportunity to, you know, call Clemson our home. I've been here since my 20th season. And, you know, in my 14th as the head coach. So it's been, you know, I've raced, as you said, you've got three kids, I've got three kids, and they all have grown up here in Clemson. My baby was born here. And so it's been a, I got two graduates of Clemson and my youngest just became a freshman.

So certainly a place that we love and just thankful that got the opportunity to continue to do something that I love at a place I love. Oh, that money, money's not too bad either. Money's going to be absolutely amazing.

And they might have started talking more than a year ago. They just came down to the financial implications of it and they slotted him in the middle. We got a final score here in Los Angeles. To start the NFL season, the Buffalo Bills steamroll the Los Angeles Rams, the final score, 31 to 10. And I say steamroll, there was a point in time at halftime, I should say, that the score was tied all, 10-10. Even at halftime, with the score being tied, wasn't indicative of how Buffalo started off this game. Before throwing an interception that was basically a tipped INT, Josh Allen started off the game perfect.

I want to say he completed, I think, around 13, 14 consecutive passes before he was picked off, which was not his fault. Turnovers were the name of the game to start and finish. But Buffalo completely took over. So here's a reminder to you, tonight, the Buffalo Bills, they defeat the Rams.

The final score, 31 to 10. And you can bet your ass the Super Bowl talk is justified. It will be hyped.

It will be exaggerated. And maybe it won't be exaggerated if the Bills just go through this entire season, beating the living hell out of everybody. And they were not perfect tonight. And they still took down the Super Bowl champs.

It's one game, but it was a hell of a statement to make right out of the gate. 8-5-5, 2-1-2 for CBS. That's 8-5-5, 2-1-2 for CBS. David is calling from Buffalo. You're on CBS Sports Radio. Hey, JR.

Appreciate you taking my call tonight, man. What a win by the Bills tonight. A real statement win. They got contributions from everybody. They got a lot of great players. Real statement win.

They got contributions from everybody. Obviously, we know how great of a quarterback Josh Allen is. He made a lot of good throws tonight. I think the running play he made where he gave that stiff arm to Nick Scott, that was a statement in that game where he said, I'm the leader of this team.

Yeah, you guys might have the world championship, but we're proving to everybody tonight that we're the best in the world. And I thought that was a big moment in that game. And then the defensive line, Von Miller has given that defensive line an attitude, a swagger, an edge, whatever you want to say. And they just took it to the Rams all night and they dominated them at the point of attack.

And that was the difference in the game I felt like. So great way to start the season. It's a long season, but that's a good way to start, man. And it's going to be a fun year if we keep playing ball like this.

No, absolutely, David. There's a lot of reason for optimism when you think about the Buffalo Bills. There's tons to be thrilled and happy about. Things started off great. A matter of fact, we talked about someone who was formerly on the team. When I say on the team, I'm talking about the squad that lost the Rams, and now he's a member of the Bills. His name is Von Miller.

He wasted zero time introducing himself to Buffalo, to the fans. Von Miller went out there, of course, earlier on in the first half, and he got himself a sack. A matter of fact, he finished the night with two sacks, three tackles for loss. But how about right now, you listen to Von Miller's first sack as a member of the Buffalo Bills, courtesy of the Bills radio network. On second and six, L.A. is going to throw it again. This time, Stanford surrounded by Bills and dropped. He is sacked. Back at the 49-yard line, Von Miller got him and brought him down, the former Ram, the future Hall of Famer with his first sack in a Buffalo Bills uniform.

And didn't take long, did it? That was early in the game. And what basically put a punctuation mark at the end of the game was Josh Allen.

And everything that he did today was a punctuation outside of those INTs, of which he wasn't always responsible for, to end the game. Last score, Josh Allen, I told you about that touchdown. 53 yards, a bomb, straight into the hands of Stephon Diggs, who falls in for the touchdown.

Listen. He's in the gun, gets a snap, pocket collapsing, gets out of pressure, runs to his right, throws it downfield, looking for Diggs. Diggs stops and he makes the catch and he's in the end zone! Touchdown Buffalo Stephon Diggs, adjusted as the ball was hung up high by Josh Allen. He was under heavy pressure. Diggs virtually stopped at the two-yard line, made the catch and fell into the end zone.

Wow! That was the final score of the game right there. We got about eight more minutes left, but 31 to 10. That was the final score of the game.

And the Buffalo Bills are abusers. Let's see what they got up their sleeve for the rest of the year. The first game of the NFL season is underway.

I don't want to call it underwhelming, but it was a statement. I was hoping for more of a closer game. Last night when we had this discussion, taking a look at what might take place, I said, man, the Rams are the home team. These are two great teams. I'm just going to pick the team that plays at home. Knowing at the same time that, a lot of fans in Los Angeles that will root for anybody. I was wrong. Last night I told you I got the Buffalo Bills number one on my list. I think the Bills have the best chance of going out and winning a Super Bowl.

And tonight, in the first game of the season, they showed why. And we're going to continue to talk about it. It's the JR Sport Reef Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. The Buffalo Bills win the season opener for the entire NFL. The final score, 31 to 10. We'll talk more about the game. I do want to mention more of Dabo Swinney before we roll on. There's a lot to do, including the start for Thursday Night Football.

We got you covered on all bases. It's the JR Sport Reef Show here on CBS Sports Radio. Here on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. Wow, it's exciting talking to you, Mr. JR. You are clear, concise, accurate and honest.

I love listening to you. Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. The NFL season, it started.

Now it's underway. The first game, the opener is done. The Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams, 31 to 10. Sean McVay has now suffered his first loss to open up a season as head coach of the Rams. First loss. Previously, he was 5-0. And by the way, Sean McVay, if you did not know, he got a contract extension earlier today.

In addition to general manager Les Snead, they will be around running these Rams until 2026. This game was tied 10-all at halftime. The Buffalo Bills just took over, 31 to 10.

Let me run you through some of these numbers. Josh Allen, he contributed to four touchdowns, including one that he kind of extended his arm in on a rush. You want to talk about a debut for Von Miller. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times tonight. Seven. Von Miller had two of those sacks.

Three. Three tackles for loss. And Matthew Stafford, the man who's been running around with a bum elbow, three interceptions. And I told you about those seven sacks. They better get the Ben Gay.

They better get the ice. They better get it all ready for Matthew Stafford if he's going to go ahead and make it through this season. And not only was this the first time that Sean McVay lost an opener, this is his worst loss since 2017.

Yes, 21.L by Sean McVay. There aren't too many situations or scenarios where he's out coached. Was he out coached tonight? Was his team ready? Were they coming off of a Super Bowl high? Odell Beckham Jr. was in attendance to help them celebrate the start of the year.

Obviously, he's not officially on the squad or on the team yet. But damn, there hasn't been a team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the Patriots did it in 2005. It's 2022. It ain't easy to wake up, roll out of bed, and just win championships in the NFL. I know that the New England Patriots made it look easy for a stretch, but it's not easy. And they ain't winning all the time either. And so for all the conversations that we can have about what the Rams can do, they're still going to be one of the best teams.

Are the odds in their favor that they're going to go ahead and repeat? No, they're not. It's just reality. And one of those reasons is Von Miller, who I told you two sacks, three tackles for loss. He's a bad man. Hitting everybody. Right before we went to break, I shared with you his early sack in the game against his former teammate, Matthew Stafford. Here, take a listen.

Bill's Radio Network. This is what sack number two sounded like. Second and nine. Rams hit the bump of the 41.

Now the gun. The snap to Stafford. The snap to Stafford doesn't see the pressure coming. He gets hit from behind and he is dropped there. Von Miller from the blindside sacked him all the way back at the midfield line.

They lost nine yards on that sack. It must be nice to be Von Miller. Must be nice to just wake up and say, yeah, well, I've won a Super Bowl with the Broncos, MVP. I won a Super Bowl here with the Rams.

I'm just a hired gun and now I can just get up when I feel like it and sign with the Buffalo Bills. Obviously, there's a reason why he took their money. Well, they threw $120 million at him. He said he had come play here for six years to end your career. I guess he feels more confident about their Super Bowl chances and what he can contribute.

Let's keep in mind. He was on the Broncos last year. He finished his season with the Rams. He could have stayed in Los Angeles, but he decided to leave.

Sometimes pastures are greener. Let's be real here. Josh Allen has more runway because of his age. And what Matthew Stafford has at the same time. We've heard about Matthew Stafford and his elbow. And so Von Miller already making an immediate impact for his new team. And one of the things that was already discussed, and one of our callers pretty much pointed this out last night. He said, Bill's fans are going to take over Los Angeles.

And they did. And that's not a shock. Bill's fans are one of the best fan bases in the entire NFL. They're one of the best traveling fan bases.

And if you have to think about a season, or excuse me, if you have to think about a team, a city to go ahead and visit, it could be the middle of the year. But to open things up, Los Angeles, you're a Super Bowl contending squad. Yeah, the Bill's fans, they showed the hell up. And they showed out and they were loud and they made themselves known. They let everybody know that they were there. And I got to mention this as well, speaking of seeing that they were there and loud. Shep, did you realize that Ozzy Osbourne was at doing the halftime?

Did you see that? No, I didn't even know he still performed. Ozzy Osbourne was standing up.

I bet everything that I have that he was lip syncing almost definitely. Of course he was. He's 73. We know he's had many a health problem. That's an old 73.

Yeah, his 73. He ages like what? Like, what's something that ages old? Not wine. Not wine. Oh, he's not aging like fine wine. He's aging like someone who unfortunately has had many life issues.

Put it that way. He stood there with a band. And I guess you could say he performed. And they had his music with his voice playing in the background.

I tried to understand how was this even recorded? Well, one LA native showed up in perform tonight, which the team got the memo. Who's that? I'm talking about the Rams. I mean, they didn't show up in the second half. I mean, that's embarrassing.

Come on now. I thought you were talking about one particular player. Well, I mean, Cup started well. I'll give him that, but my God. Stafford looked like it during headlights tonight. Yeah, the open to the game was fool's gold. It really was. Seeing that the score was tied at 10-10 at halftime was almost like, how was this even possible? Because the Bills dominated the game. It was just a few turnovers here and there. And not to diminish what the Rams did to stay in the game, but it wasn't indicative of what the Bills were doing to them. Just going down the field, even on the opening drive, watching Buffalo just march down the field for a touchdown without being touched was just absolutely ridiculous. It was a statement game.

And so at least right now, yeah, I guess there's a huge difference. And I know Bills fans take great pleasure in saying this. New York football is actually good. The New York Jets play in New Jersey. The New York Giants play in New Jersey. And the only football team that actually plays in New York, they don't play in New York City. They play up in Buffalo. Congratulations to all the fans up in Buffalo in Western New York and in everybody who also loves them and via proximity in Toronto.

You got to root for somebody, I guess. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll talk more about this game.

We got a lot to get into as the Buffalo Bills have made their statement. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. Oh, man, this is great.

I've never been on a national sports talk show. I really appreciate the call. Hey, JR. First time caller into the show, man. I've always enjoyed your stuff. Thanks for taking the call, brother. JR, I love the show. You get me through almost every night of the week. Appreciate it.

Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. That's right, it's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. 31-10, the Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams. And when we get to the top of the hour, we're going to go through the big plays of the game. We'll even hear from Von Miller, going out there and making his debut with the Buffalo Bills, especially coming off the heels of the championship that he just won with the Rams. Two out of seven sacks. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times tonight. Von Miller handed him two of them. And Sean McVay, this is the first time under Sean McVay that the Rams are under 500.

And yeah, sure, it's one game, but the Rams have been pretty damn good. Sean McVay has already shown himself to be an amazing coach. This man is 36 years old. 36 years old, man. He's 36 years old.

36 years old. He just got a contract extension. He outsmarted himself when he took on Bill Belichick three years ago. That's even, that's wild to think about. Getting the opportunity and going to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff and then actually winning the Super Bowl a couple of seconds later.

Man, this is an amazing story. And so we'll hear from Sean McVay as well as the show continues on. He just finished having a chat with the media and he is, you know, he's a straightforward guy. He's a great coach. And to be honest, I gotta, I gotta tell you here, his contract extension takes him through 2026.

Whether it was a matter of negotiation, which is highly likely probable, saying that he was going to potentially step away or, you know, Amazon had offered him a gig or he was going to go into TV. You think about the money that's being thrown around right now. He can go ahead and make $10 million a year as a coach, 12, whatever the case might be. He can make more as a broadcaster.

Not have to go out there and spend all season, all year long, hiring guys, firing guys, but it's a competition. Sean McVay is a young man at 36 years old and he's going to have plenty of time to step into that television role if he should choose. It also would not surprise me if they're able to win another Super Bowl or attain more success if he were to just kind of step away. Similar to what he, I don't want to say threatened to do, but the possibility was certainly floated around that he might do so.

And so good for him. A contract extension handed out to Sean McVay and a few hours later, they lose. It's one game, one game out of 17. We're going to have some overreactions. I wouldn't go crazy about what the Rams did or did not do tonight.

It was certainly ugly. But we do know this. And what is the shock or what is the surprise? The Buffalo Bills have been good for a few years now. They've gotten better with Josh Allen at the helm.

Why would we think with all the talent that they now have, after the opportunities that have been presented to them over the past few years, especially the way they lost in the playoffs to the Chiefs earlier this season, why would we think that they wouldn't be ready for this moment or this opportunity? Scott is calling up from Great Neck. You're on CBS Sports Radio.

What's up, Scott? Hey, I'm pretty sure that was last season that they lost. And this is a brand new season and Buffalo is ready. They came out and I like what the announcer said. The Rams put up a banner, but the Bills put on a show and 10 10 and halftime could have been a lot better for the Bills, but some turnovers. Big difference is the Bills defensive line and Von Miller creating opportunities for other players.

They don't even miss. I mean, you know, knock on wood, but what's going to happen when they get their starting cornerback back today? Anyway, it's we're living big right now. The Bills were on opening night in the NFL.

It's an amazing time to be a Bills fan. I'll just send it back to you and let you riff on that. Well, thank you. You damn right.

Absolutely. And we had a whole entire conversation about this last night. I sat here and gave you my top six list and I said the team that is most likely or the team that has the best chance and opportunity to go and win the Super Bowl. It's the Buffalo Bills. We got a lot of, well, I'm not going to say a lot.

But the old guys can't sit at the top of the mountain forever here. Tom Brady won his championship. Here's another one coming. Maybe I wouldn't discount him, but Tom Brady has been around. Aaron Rodgers would not be shocked if he won another one.

No, I wouldn't. But it's been about 12 years now at this point. Russell Wilson is out here trying to prove himself to the world with a new team. There was an entire article today about how there are a whole lot of people in Seattle who felt and feel that Russell Wilson is washed up or that he is on his way to that he is on his way, that his mobility has declined, that he can't move around, that he can't run the way that he used to and that he ain't worth it.

So he's in Denver. Ben Roethlisberger is gone. Phil Rivers is gone. Matt Ryan is not gone, but he's pretty much on his last legs and his last stand here with the Colts. We're in a new world of NFL QBs. Get used to it. You're going to be shocked if Josh Allen wins a championship?

Hell no, you won't. You don't think Justin Herbert is likely to take that next step? This year, the Super Bowl earlier this season, we saw a man who won a championship with LSU. We saw Joe Burrow in the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl. It's nice that we got a new era. That's why I was looking at Tom Brady earlier this year, and he finally retired, and then 40 days later, he's like, I'm back. I thought Aaron Rodgers was going to be the gray beard guy running around. If I'm being honest here, I wouldn't be mad or upset if Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady never won another title.

It's a new era, a new time. Herbert, Mahomes, Allen, Jackson. Damn it, I guess you can, well, he, he got to the playoffs and he got his ass whooped. You throw Kyler Murray in there, he's still exciting. Hey, Shep, what, did I leave out a young quarterback Joe Burrow? Mack Jones ain't in there yet.

He ain't ready. I'll tell you, you should leave out Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson plays football?

Yes, that's my point. I didn't know he plays football, man. Eventually, it's going to be Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, Anthony Richardson. Where we're going to be in five years, JR, is going to be very exciting. We might have to move the needle when it comes down to the tiers of quarterbacks. Right.

Because it's like, I always say it's thirds. You got that top third, you got the guys in the middle, and you got a whole bunch of bums in the bottom third. Did you mention Watson? No, hell no.

Okay, you don't want to though. I'm not thinking, is he playing football? Well, not for the foreseeable future. Not 11 games in, no. Can we still consider him to be in that young guy space? I want to say, without looking up, he's Mahomes' age, right? So he's 26. He's 26. Right. So he's still a relatively young quarterback.

Yeah. Brady was in year three at 26. He actually has a birthday. Deshaun Watson's birthday is next week.

Gotcha. I'm sure a lot of people are going to be celebrating that with Fury. Yeah, good for him. He'll be 27 years old. But based on the incoming rookies and some of the guys that you just mentioned, we might be in an NFL where it's half and half. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

I don't know. You think about these quote-unquote young guys, they're not going anywhere. And by the time some of the other quarterbacks reach maturity, they're going to be in the NFL. They're going to be in the NFL. And by the time some of the other quarterbacks reach maturity, they're going to still be hell in their primes, man. So we might realistically be in an NFL if we fast forward four or five years from now, where it's just like, you either got a good quarterback or you got a bum.

It's probably going to be pick one, one or the other. Who do you have? Mahomes isn't going anywhere. Allen isn't going anywhere.

For all intents and purposes, yes, Shep mentioned him. Deshaun Watson isn't going anywhere. Joe Burrow. Nobody even talks about Trevor Lawrence. And who knows, maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars as a franchise, as an organization, will eat him alive. But Trevor Lawrence was the best quarterback prospect that the NFL has seen since Andrew Luck. And maybe he needs to wash the stench of Urban Meyer off of him.

But you can go ahead and throw him in that group when it comes down to potential. And so it's a beautiful time to be an NFL fan. As our previous and prior college just said, it's a beautiful time to be a fan of the Buffalo Bills, because you have one of those quarterbacks. You have one of those guys. You have a Josh Allen.

You have someone that you can potentially look at for the next 10, maybe 15 years, knowing that you got a chance and an opportunity. And the league is built for it right now. It's a passing league. Somebody one day, real soon, is going to throw for 6,000 yards.

We've already seen it with someone like Lamar Jackson. We're going to have a guy throw for 3,000 and 4,000 yards and give you another 1,000, 1,100-plus on the ground. The NFL is built for offense.

It's built for scoring. There's a reason right now that the quarterbacks are getting paid $50 million. Aaron Rodgers is sitting on that 50 mil.

Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow are going to blow that open. Josh Allen got his money, $43 million per. What do you think Josh Allen's next deal will look like? And what do you think Josh Allen's next deal will look like if he can actually help lead the Bills not just to the Super Bowl, but for the Bills to actually win it?

That's not a far-off possibility. That's realistic as all hell, even if it doesn't happen this year. But the Bills are certainly built for it. And let's see what they can do the rest of the season. I think we know they're going to whoop ass, okay?

And meanwhile here, the Rams, it's just one game. They got some work to do. And hopefully right now, this minute, this second, Matthew Stafford, I hope he has that elbow wrapped. And I hope he's getting a massage or some Ben Gay, maybe having a glass of wine.

I don't know. It's the JR Sport Reshow here on CBS Sports Radio when we come back, we're going to play you some audio. Von Miller just spoke. We're going to recap the game. You will hear from Von. It's the JR Sport Reshow, CBS Sports Radio.
