What a first few weeks into the new NFL season! We have a lot to recap as we see new faces on new teams and star players picking up where they left off last season. Of course, every team’s goal is to get to Super Bowl LX, but as it stands right now, only 2 teams are in the driver’s seat of that goal as of right now. But this is the NFL, and a lot of weird stuff happens every week.
Sonic and Knuckles
Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, aka Sonic and Knuckles, have definitely picked up from where they left off last year! After a slow week one start in a 27-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Lions are starting to heat up – and it’s all thanks to one of the, if not the best, RB duo in the league! Jahmry Gibbs and David Montgomery. Gibbs and Montgomery are one of the main reasons the Lions are starting to heat up, as they helped the Lions in one of their most recent win against the Ravens in a 38-30 win! As Gibbs went for 66 rushing yards and 2 TDs, while Montgomery went for 151 rushing yards and 2 TDs as well, in a big statement win against the Ravens!
Indiana Jones
Daniel Jones is having one of the best seasons of his career! Daniel Jones, or Indiana Jones, has led the Colts to a 4-1 start, the first time the Colts have had that start since 2008, and is top 3 in passing yards in the entire NFL. After a few very poor seasons with the Giants, Daniel Jones seems to be heading in the right direction with the Colts, after winning the starting QB job over Anthony Richardson. Some fans are still not convinced that Jones belongs in the starting role for the Colts, as it has only been a few weeks into the NFL season. But as long as he keeps playing like he has been, he’s going to show the world that he is a starting QB in the NFL.
Trouble in KC?
The Chiefs have been playing really poorly as of late; they have not looked like themselves, and they are making too many mistakes on the field, which we don’t typically see from them. While they do have some injuries and suspensions, the Chiefs can’t seem to figure it out. Patrick Mahomes is the Chiefs’ leading rusher – which is very alarming. Seeing that the Chiefs don’t have much of a running game. This is still the Chiefs; they will still find a way to make the playoffs, but if they keep playing like this, something’s going on in KC that we don’t know about.
Dart to Start
The season so far for the Giants has not been off to a great start for them, but this will give something for Giants fans to cheer about – as Jaxson Dart has officially gotten the start for the Giants. A lot of hyped around Jaxson Dart as he was the Giants’ second first-round pick from this year’s draft. As Jaxson Dart gets his first win as a starter! In a huge upset win against the Chargers in a 21-18 victory!
What Can We Expect?
The NFL is off to a wild but great start, but teams that aren’t performing well can change their script very easily. For example, the Bengals. For the next three months, the Bengals will be without superstar QB Joe Burrow due to a turf toe injury that will keep him on the sidelines. Can Jake Browning keep the Bengals in playoff contention? The NFC West is up for grabs as each team’s record is .500 or above; that could be a fun one to watch for the rest of the season. And can the number one draft pick, Cam Ward, find his groove with the Titans? Stay tuned as we watch the rest of the season unfold because it’s going to be a fun one!
