The first week of the NFL season is officially in the books, and what’s clear is that the lack of preseason action—paired with concerns about key starters getting injured—has led to many coaches holding back, leaving some crucial players without valuable playing time. The rookie starters, in particular, looked quite pedestrian against experienced NFL defenses. As for the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and company still look like the best team in the league. But after them, who takes the number two spot?
The San Francisco 49ers faced a significant setback, missing key offensive players, including Christian McCaffrey, the most drafted player in fantasy football, due to a calf injury. Meanwhile, the New York Jets didn’t seem to improve much with Aaron Rodgers under center, struggling just as they did with Zach Wilson last season. Their defense couldn’t contain the 49ers' ground game, and their backup RB had a career-high in rushing yards.
In Minnesota, will Sam Darnold finally live up to his first-round potential? If he does, the Vikings may find themselves in a tricky situation with a project quarterback unable to even practice this season, should they sneak into the playoffs.
On the college football front, Notre Dame suffered a shocking loss to NIU—does this spell the end for head coach Marcus Freeman? Meanwhile, Brian Kelly will have to regroup after LSU's upset loss to USC. Can he rebuild the team into a powerhouse? Is Texas the best team in the country? And is Nebraska back on the rise with their freshman QB sensation?
We’ll discuss all this and more in today’s show!
