To some he will always be Jimmy. He was called that also both at Syracuse and Cleveland

In Manhasset he was Jimmy. To me it has always been Jimmy Brown, greatest football player in history

Sam Huff might disagree. Even though a Giant fan, I would not.

Congrats to Kalif! First TD by a Holy Cross alum in an NFL game since 1991 (Gill Fenerty) and in an NFL playoff game since 1940 (Bill Osmanski of the Bears vs. Washington). Wow, great HC sports trivia!

Jimmy pass blocked when he needed to. Frank Ryan had no issues with his pass blocking in the 64 title game. He was the best. Multiple people have called Henry’s games Jimmy-seque, the highest praise possible ... and justly so. He has been GREAT.

I would call Henry’s games Jimmy-lite. There was only one Jimmy Brown, the best athlete in American sports.

I loved it when he ran right through or around the defensive line and it would take a gang tackle to bring him down 15 yards later.

I saw an interview with Brown many years ago and he was asked why he always got up slowly from a tackle. He responded that by doing that all the time opponents never knew whether he got hurt or not.

After the first 20-30 times the opponent may have caught on. He rarely was hurt.

Kalif got several mentions on an ESPN show this evening. There discussion centered around "Who is this little guy?!" Nice mention of HolyCross, our reputation for developing smart players, and having found some hidden gems! They played the film of his catch and TD three times. Too much? NO WAY!

The Jim Brown just noted in the Halftime break of the CFP National Championship Game as the #1 all time Greatest College Football Player.
Wish I had seen him in college. Fortunately I saw him live when he played for Cleveland.

Since he is also undoubtedly the best pro ever, that just about covers it all.

No mention of “Jimmy”. It was “Jim” Brown.

ESPN analysis
The Tennessee Titans beat the Chiefs if ...
1. They create vertical deep-shot throws off play-action
In the Week 10 head-to-head with Kansas City, running back Derrick Henry rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. And we know to expect those outside zone runs with Henry again: Press the edge and find daylight to bend the ball back. But even if the Titans utilize Henry and the run game to control tempo, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense will still see eight or nine possessions. That's why I'm looking at Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill for deep-shot plays down the field off play-action.
The Titans did it in that Week 10 matchup, with Tannehill finding wide receiver Kalif Raymond on a first-down pass for 52 yards, and more recently, they executed a 45-yard shot-play touchdown in the divisional-round win over the Ravens, shown below. Tennessee brought 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TE) into the game after a sudden change, with Raymond as the lone wide receiver. And he can fly. This is exactly where you take your shots Sunday versus the Chiefs. Ball between the 40-yard lines? Let's go to the end zone. Tennessee needs to generate explosive plays in the passing game to advance.

From a KC tv station’s keys to the game for the Chiefs:
Keep the special teams tight Two players to remember are returner Kalif Raymond and Joshua Kalu. Kalu will be remembered for his field goal block that won the Titans their earlier matchup in week 10. Kalu must be accounted for on punts, field goals and extra points. He has the speed around the edge to turn the tide of a game. Raymond must be properly contained on return lanes or he has the speed to take it the distance.
