10 takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

10 takes. You made it. Let's do it.

10 takes in 10 minutes. We have a bomb. We have an explosive device. We have a clock. We have takes. Ten of them. That clock I mentioned, let's start it.

Take number one. Laterals are the most exciting play in the sport. It's always incredible. It's always fun. The Josh Allen Amari Cooper thing was so cool

and out of nowhere because you don't actually expect it to happen. I've seen a lot of Josh

Allen plays. I've seen a lot more important Josh Allen plays. We're going to see a lot more.

They didn't even really need that touchdown. But it was still one of the plays of the year because

one player threw it backwards to another

at great risk and peril. Travis Kelsey does it sometimes. It's always awesome. Remember Randy

Moss did it once in like a Hail Mary situation. It's always memorable. I used to love watching

things like Air Force and the Service Academy teams would run the triple option. It was always such a

high potential for fumbles. It's such a risky thing to do. I think the punt block is maybe the most exciting play in the sport. But then again, laterals just always, always incredible. You screamed. Oh, my God, he actually lateraled it, especially in the case of Amari Cooper and Josh down. It's not like they've been teammates for five, six years.

They've been teammates for seven or eight weeks or whatever it is. And they still, they're just like, yeah, we made out contact. We decided to go for it. That's two guys who have played a lot of football and decided it's kind of a fun atmosphere. What if we lateral it? Sure, it may go terribly wrong in the niner scoop and score 90 yards in the other direction. but screw it.

Let's get wild.

Laterals, unbelievably exciting, no matter when they happen. It could be a preseason game. Doesn't matter. Somebody laterals, you're in. Take number two, the MVP race took a turn, I think, in the middle of that lateral. I'll tell you why. First of all, nobody's ever been more interested in the MVP race. It's all anybody wants to talk about for some award that you don't really even care about on the night of at NFL honors. It's every TV segment, every podcast segment. Are you sick of it? Do you care? I care this year just because it's fascinating. I feel like I have a vested interest because I've really wanted to see a running pack do it. And I love Josh Allen. Really the one thing that Sequin had over him was he had a better entry into the cool play category. And maybe he still does. But at least Josh Allen's now in. Up until then, the Josh Allen MVP case was the amazing run against the chiefs on fourth and two. But that was just football. This is some sort of weird Cirque de Saleh magic. When Josh Allen

retires and he goes in the Hall of Fame and they do a 60-second video montage, they're going

to play that clip of Amari Cooper later on him. And I really do think you could put up stats in

national television. You put up a big win on national television. To do something magical

just blows everybody's hair back and

it makes him want to vote for you as an MVP voter. I think that play really will make a difference.
