Even on a day where the Patriots' defense was mostly solid and consistently was able to bail out a Patriots offense that committed five turnovers (four fumbles, one pick), the offense was the "bad football to take advantage of" talked about all offseason in its final form for at least one afternoon.

Fresh off a huge win down in Miami for the first time since 2019, the Patriots are throwing it back for a weekend to honor Julien Edelman and (regrettably) Bill Parcells by inducting them into the Patriots Hall of Fame, and then hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers 24 hours later. Their AFC North foe is coming off a brutal fourth-quarter collapse against the Seattle Seahawks, and worse than that, is going to be down multiple starters on the defensive side of the ball tomorrow.

Lamar Jackson shined, in the second half. In the first half, he looked off target but still managed some spectacular throws, completing 19 of 29 pass attempts for 225 yards and four touchdowns—still a good outing for QB1. The run game was stalled, with Derrick Henry only getting 23 yards total.

No one's been pressed at the line more through two weeks per NextGenStats, and he absolutely incinerated the Dallas Cowboys' defense over the weekend. Trevon Diggs had no answer, nor did ex-Bill Kair Elam, as the second-year man out of LSU was a part of a two-man carry job for this Giants offense with cohort Wan'Dale Robinson.

The Miracle on Ice, Appalachian State beating No. 2 Michigan, the New England Patriots winning in Miami, Florida (2025), and UMBC beating Arizona as a March Madness 16 seed. These are just some of the many great upset moments in sports that remind us that the indomitable human spirit can overcome anything and that anything is possible.

Week 1 was a rollercoaster for the Ravens, who put up 40 points on the road behind a strong offensive showing from Lamar Jackson and the receiving corps. But despite the explosive output, Baltimore’s defense faltered late, surrendering a 14-point fourth-quarter lead as Josh Allen and the Bills mounted a furious comeback.

(Pass Catcher, LAR) What else can you really say about Josh Allen on Sunday night, specifically in crunch time, other than that's the exact performance from that guy, in that exact situation, against that very opponent that you'd hope for and expect out of a guy of his stature?

The loss is a tough wake-up call for the Ravens, who now face the urgent need to tighten up all phases of their game—offense, defense, and especially special teams—if they want to avoid more late-game collapses this season.

All week, the Patriots (rightfully) highlighted the importance of "winning" the second half of games, and wouldn't you know it, that's where their worst football as a team would come from. Not that it was a spectacular first half from them either, but the lack of a coherent run game, ability to take advantage of good passing opportunities because Maye was either being pressured off the edge or just sailing balls, and the cavalcade of chunk plays allowed...

Over the last seven or eight years, Week 1 has been a mixed bag for the Patriots, but no matter who has headed the sidelines, been the top dog under center, or played on defense, home openers have been a major struggle for this team during the same timeframe. Going into Mike Vrabel's first-ever regular season game coaching the team he played eight seasons for, New England has dropped their last four home openers, as well as five of their previous eight.

The sacred art of professional sports uniforms/uniform design is something near and dear to my heart, so I was a bit nervous when the NFL announced their new "Rivalries" sets alongside Nike back at the NFL Draft in Green Bay.

The phrase, "taking advantage of bad football," was something everyone gravitated towards in Vrabel's opening presser, and simply looking at the Patriots' schedule, those opportunities should be there.

Hard to put into words how insane that is. Patriots left guard Cole Strange tore his patellar tendon in December of 2023 (ironically enough, against these Chiefs) and didn't take a snap for close to a full calendar year, and Simmons, barring any setback, feels set to make Week 1 with plenty of time to spare—superhuman stuff from the Ohio State product.

Despite recent injury concerns and a tumultuous end in Green Bay, Alexander’s pedigree as a two-time Pro Bowler brings much-needed elite coverage to Baltimore’s secondary. Jackson’s vocal advocacy— “Go get him, Eric,” he told Eric DeCosta, Ravens General Manager— was the final nudge in what has become a statement acquisition for a Ravens defense intent on Super Bowl contention.

A mix of the Tavai injury situation and the "Mapu position switch" should be the catalyst that gets second-year safety Dell Pettus on this roster. I know some people are intrigued by new safety, Marcus Epps, but Pettus was legitimately good for this team a year ago as a defender and special-teams contributor.

In a long, prestigious line of "shifty and scrappy" white wide receivers who are < 6'0" in Patriots history, Eastern Washington's Efton Chism III appears to be in line to take up that mantle for this team in 2025.
