Tier 1 – October Super Bowl Philadelphia Eagles The way Jalen Hurts processes is incredible. He must spend every waking moment outside of actually playing football, watching football. And you can’t underestimate how good he is at breaking the pocket to run, then knowing when to slide (unlike his counterpart last week). He gets big …
On Sunday, Chargers coach Brandon Staley made a questionable decision that almost came back to bite him. On 4th and 1, up by 2 points, he decided to go for it instead of punting and giving Cleveland a longer field. Rex Ryan had something to say about that decision: Somewhere in that garbled mess, Rex …
If that title is an exaggeration, it’s not much of one. Maybe I should add some qualifier like “of the modern era” or something fancy like that. But I gave it a full 24 hours before jumping to conclusions. I spent that time thinking back on similar or comparable games I’ve watched, and one stuck …

Sorry Philly fans, but you’ve just been struck by the curse of my top team losing every week this year. A thousand apologies.
Tier I – 4 Team Playoff 1. Baltimore Ravens Spare me any “they’re not undefeated” talk. Power rankings aren’t about who has the best record. There’s not a better offense in the NFL than Baltimore, and there’s not a more dangerous player in the NFL than Lamar. Their defense is young and will get better, …
1. Buffalo Bills FINE! I DID IT, ALRIGHT? BILLS ARE NUMBER 1. Although maybe they don’t wanna be number 1 on my list. In any case, they’re not just 2-0 at winning, they’re also 2-0 at flat-out embarrassing good teams. I, on the other hand, am 2-0 at having my number 1 team lose right …
11. Las Vegas Raiders Carr caught an early case of Force it to Davante. I get it. Watched Rodgers do it for years. It’s an easy trap to fall into. His routes are so pristine that you think he’ll always be open after his next cut. But NFL defenders have a way of figuring you …
I see this happen a lot around the league, but I don’t know that it’s ever been called out. It’s the urge to “reward” a player who helps get the team down the field by targeting them in the end zone. If you’ve ever played Madden, chances are you’ve done this. Luckily a computerized defense …
1. Los Angeles Chargers If I go 2 for 2 jinxing a team by calling them number 1 right before their Thursday Night Game, I may have to take that into consideration going forward. This defense is really good, and it still doesn’t have JC Jackson. And Herbert still hasn’t found his groove. This KC …
1. Los Angeles Rams Come at the king. They lose Von Miller, but add Bobby Wagner and Allen Robinson. And don’t be surprised if Odell joins late in the year when he’s ready. This team is just too complete to knock them off the pedestal to start the year. 2. Los Angeles Chargers Football in …
