BPR Home Team Edition: Brian Moorman

Podcasting the National Football League, Podcasting the NFL

After an 0-3 start and a ton of adversity, the Buffalo Bills have fought their way back to .500, gaining respectability around the league after their 33-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals gave them a 4-4 record. Two-time Pro Bowl punter and team captain Brian Moorman is consistently one of the NFL’s best at his position. I sat down with Brian at his locker after the win to talk about the team’s progress and his career both on and off the field.
