- The Steelers had a great preseason. This game was proof that the preseason means nothing. The 49ers are who we thought they were. 
- I’m still not sold that turning the Ravens Offense into more of a “passing” offense is the way to go. 
- Brandon Staley continues to get defensive-genius status for some reason. That unit should be so much better with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack rushing the quarterback. 0 Sacks on 45 passes and 36 points. 
- There’s definitely work to do, but Jordan Love did everything he needed to for the Packers. The Bears…what the hell was that? 
- The Patriots controlled most of the game against the Eagles. If not for two devastating early turnovers, this one would have turned out a lot different. 
- When Matthew Stafford has time, that offense is hard to stop. Could the Rams actually be good this year? 
- There’s no need to worry about the Bengals. The bigger takeaway is that the Browns will not be a pushover in the AFC North. 
- I had high hopes for the Giants this year. But that looked like a Ben McAdoo-coached team on Sunday night. This was more concerning than just a blip on the radar. Also, the Cowboys’ pass rush is going to help them end their NFC Championship Game appearance drought this year. 
- Calvin Ridley makes the Jaguars a legitimate threat in the AFC. And Anthony Richardson is going to be fun to watch. 
- Bijan Robinson’s ability to make defenders miss in tight spaces is going to be a problem for the rest of the NFC South 
- Turnovers killed the Vikings and lost them this game. That said, their defense looked substantially improved from a year ago. 
- Derek Carr was the big acquisition for the Saints this offseason, but they’ll only go as far as that tough defense will take them. 
- I was disappointed in how close the Commanders’ win over the Cardinals was. 
- There aren’t many wins on the Raiders and Broncos’ schedules. That makes this a brutal loss for Denver.
