BY GEORGE DICKIE
Allen’s star rises in third season in Buffalo Probably one of the more heartening stories of the 2020 season is the rise of the Buffalo Bills as a legitimate AFC force and with it, Josh Allen’s blossoming into an elite NFL quarterback. Indeed, in his third year in the league, the 24-year-old native of Central California has broken out as a legitimate star, ranking in the top-10 in a slew of statistical passing categories (through 10 games), among them yards (2,871, first), completion percentage (68.4, eighth), touchdowns (21, sixth) and passer rating (103.2, eighth). He’s also rushed for 279 yards (third among starting QBs) and five TDs (tied for third). Furthermore, his play calling and decision making have been exceptional and he’s given the Bills a chance to win in all but two games. At this writing, he’s the chief reason why the Bills are atop the AFC East and headed for their first divisional title since the 20th century. But away from the numbers, Allen has proven himself to be a clutch performer. That was apparent in the Bills’ Week 10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, when he led a 12-play, 78-yard drive that culminated in an Allen-to-Stefon Diggs TD strike with 39 seconds remaining that gave the Bills a temporary 30-26 lead. That the Cards’ Kyler Murray managed to wipe that out with his own 43-yard Hail Mary touchdown with two seconds left was deflating for the Bills and their fans. But they had to be thrilled with their young quarterback’s ability to rise to the occasion. Allen and the Bills face perhaps their toughest test yet in 2020 when they play host to the AFC Northleading Pittsburgh Steelers in a game airing Sunday, Dec. 13, on NBC.

CBS All Access takes ‘The Stand’ by remaking Stephen King saga
BY JAY BOBBIN
Greg Kinnear and James Marsden star in “The Stand,” premiering Thursday on CBS All Access.
in focus
Many people clearly feel the chilling work of Stephen King is worth revisiting. Relatively soon after movie remakes of “It” and “Pet Sematary,” the saga widely considered the iconic author’s masterpiece is getting another screen run. The source of a 1994 miniseries, “The Stand” gets a fresh treatment that CBS All Access begins streaming weekly on Thursday, Dec. 17. Whoopi Goldberg heads a large ensemble cast as Mother Abagail, one of the flupandemic survivors who band together to battle the powerful, lethal “Dark Man” (Alexander Skarsgard) for the fate of the world. King has written a new coda for this version, part of the lure for Greg Kinnear, who returns to television to play another of those embroiled in an epic fight between forces of good and evil. The “As Good As It Gets” Oscar nominee and former “Talk Soup” and “Later” host recalls “The Stand” was the first of many King works he’s read, making “an indelible impression ... dark, Gothic and unexpected. And it’s just a great adventure. “I’ve thought often about why it’s stood the test of time,” Kinnear reflects, “and why its legion of fans is as strong as it is. I think there’s just a tone to that book that is very hard to capture. It knows what it is, and it’s got some very clear through lines and interesting assessments of good vs. evil. I never thought I would end up in a filmed version of it, but it’s a great thrill.”
Partially directed by Josh Boone – with whom Kinnear made the 2012 movie “Stuck in Love” – “The Stand” also features James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Henry Zaga, Owen Teague (“Bloodline”), Heather Graham, Hamish Linklater (“Legion”), Katherine McNamara (“Shadowhunters”), Daniel Sunjata, Natalie Martinez, (“Kingdom”) and Clifton Collins Jr. “I worked with just about everybody,” Kinnear notes, who describes his “The Stand” character Glen Bateman as a “weed-smoking, banjophilosophy-spouting guy. In that character, I think Stephen captured someone who’s searching, but who also has this great skepticism. He’s at peace with the end of the world, and that makes him kind of a romantic character. And fun to play.” Filming of “The Stand” was winding down in Vancouver as the coronavirus pandemic was ramping up. “It wasn’t until I was already home that the NBA started shutting down and all the big moves started to happen,” Kinnear says, “but even prior to that, I was reading a few little excerpts about this strange thing in China. It wasn’t getting much attention, but it was out there. “I mean, what are the odds?,” Kinnear concludes. “Over many years of working, I’ve made nothing about a pandemic except when there was a pandemic.”
PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
