I feel like this year there's way more interesting stories going into today's fixture than last year. Perhaps it's because the draft was so offense heavy and it's much easier to get excited for new QBs and weapons.
What I'm looking out for:
Giants v Vikings - Malik Nabers. How screwed are the Vikings with Sam Darnold?
Bengals v Patriots - How's Burrow going to look coming off that injury with maybe both Higgins and Chase out. Are the Patriots going to be as bad as they were with Billy Boy.
Falcons v Steelers - Penix Jr vs Justin Fields.
Saints v Panthers - is Bryce Young still going to suck? Maybe he's has a growth spurt in the off-season.
Colts v Texans - That stacked WR room with Stroud throwing to them. Also can Richardson continue as he started before the injury.
Bills v Cardinals - Who is Allen going to be throwing the football to now Diggs has gone? Similar questions were asked of Mahomes in 2022. Also Marvin Harrison Jr.
Bears v Titans - Caleb (and Odunze). Nuff said.
Dolphins v Jaguars - Both teams collapsed at the end of last season. Are either of them going to be decent from the get go.
Seahawks v Broncos - Bo Nix. Also looking to see how Franklin does because he was one of the WRs I wanted us to draft if we went LT in the first round.
Chargers v Raiders - Harbaughball. The Chargers WR room looks terrible on paper so interested to see how they do and if they commit to the running game like Harbaugh's known for. Also Brock Bowers.
Browns v Cowboys - Just should be a great match. Will the rapist continue to be as shitty at playing as he is a person? Are the Browns D still legit?
Buccs v Commanders - Jayden Daniels.
