If Week 1’s results felt familiar, you’re not alone in thinking so. But many of the favorites looked different even if their successes felt the same.
We should kind of overreact. The Kansas City Chiefs look unstoppable and now have this cadre of young skill-position players that could buoy the offense and accentuate Patrick Mahomes for the next decade. We should also not overreact at all. The Dallas Cowboys look unstoppable but, much like they did last year, gained a reputation by walloping teams with adrift quarterbacks and injury disasters across the offensive line.
49ers running back Jordan Mason collected 152 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches Monday night. / David Gonzales-Imagn ImagesMonday night was a thorough beatdown and confidence builder for the 49ers who were playing without Christian McCaffrey and still managed to dismantle a Jets team that scored the first touchdown after an impressive first-quarter drive.
Stefon Diggs scored two touchdowns in his Texans debut, securing six catches for 33 yards. / Marc Lebryk-Imagn ImagesAt least through one game, the Texans’ offseason diagnosis of their team was dead on. Another top-flight wide receiver and the addition of a hammering back with pass catching ability is a total game-changer for the evolving C.J. Stroud. Stroud worked almost all corners of the field effectively and continues to set himself head and shoulders above the QB class of 2023.
, this was an upset special we called a few weeks ago. Why? Because the Bengals start slow, Joe Burrow is coming into live game speed for the first time in months and he’s playing with a new offensive coordinator. And the Patriots had been hearing for months about how they could be bad enough to have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
