Back in 1996, in the run-up to his first fight with Evander Holyfield, a reporter asked Mike Tyson whether he was concerned with Holyfield’s game plan to win.

Then, Patrick Mahomes punched them in the mouth … or dropped a 49-yard, off-his-back-foot dime for a touchdown.
Lamar Jackson was named MVP last season.
