By Week 3, we should be figuring out the NFL landscape, right? The Commanders, without Jayden Daniels, beat the Seahawks 33-31. The Browns beat the Panthers 21-18.
The Steelers' offense exploded in a 30-27 win over the Bengals, one week after we were singing the praises of the Cincinnati defense and lambasting Pittsburgh's inept offense. We have plenty to reconsider and plenty to question. But some beliefs have grown stronger, too.

He only had eight all of last season. But it's not just that he's throwing them, which is bad enough.
It's when and where he's throwing them, too. In Week 1, the Patriots were only down 13-10 to the Seahawks when he threw the game away, quite literally, in the Seattle end zone. It's a situation in which you absolutely cannot score zero points.
