Eagles (0-0): They don\u2019t want to call it a repeat. It could be a reiteration.<\/p>\n<p>2. Chiefs (0-0): Their window won\u2019t be closed until someone else in the AFC slams it shut.<\/p>\n<p>3. Bills (0-0): The pressure to get back to a Super Bowl keeps building.<\/p>\n<p>4. Ravens (0-0): Can they finally navigate their way to the top of the AFC playoff tree?<\/p>\n<p>5. Lions (0-0): Having Micah Parsons on the Packers will make things a lot tighter for the defending NFC North champs.<\/p>\n<p>6. Packers (0-0): By giving the green light to the Micah Parsons trade, Ed Policy has quickly put his imprint on the team.<\/p>\n<p>7. Commanders (0-0): It may take a little while to close the gap with the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>8. Buccaneers (0-0): Every year, they\u2019re overlooked. And they love it.<\/p>\n<p>9. Broncos (0-0): They could be the biggest threat to the Chiefs\u2019 effort to run their streak of AFC Championship appearances to eight.<\/p>\n<p>10. Texans (0-0): Not having Joe Mixon will hurt \u2014 unless Nick Chubb can rewind the clock to pre-2023.<\/p>\n<p>11. Rams (0-0): Uncertainty over Matthew Stafford\u2019s back could derail a potentially special season.<\/p>\n<p>12. Vikings (0-0): J.J. McCarthy seems to be ready to roll.<\/p>\n<p>13. Bengals (0-0): Better late than never, the Bengals finally took care of their business.<\/p>\n<p>14. 49ers (0-0): Brock Purdy will get an immediate chance to earn his money.<\/p>\n<p>15. Chargers (0-0): Is Omarion Hampton ready to carry the load?<\/p>\n<p>16. Steelers (0-0): The closer we get to Week 1, the harder it is to see the Aaron Rodgers experiment working.<\/p>\n<p>17. Bears (0-0): What is Caleb Williams\u2019s ceiling? Whatever it is, Ben Johnson will get him there.<\/p>\n<p>18. Seahawks (0-0): Jalen Milroe will have a package of plays with the first team. How long until it will be more than a package?<\/p>\n<p>19. Cardinals (0-0): They have a chance to quietly make some noise and contend for a wild-card berth.<\/p>\n<p>20. Patriots (0-0): Every team changes from Week 1 to Week 18. The Patriots are the most likely to get much, much better by January.<\/p>\n<p>21. Cowboys (0-0): Jerry Jones needs to adopt the George Costanza \u201cdo the opposite\u201d approach to running his team.<\/p>\n<p>22. Falcons (0-0): Atlanta TV stations are scrambling to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/08\/14\/sports\/georgia-tv-station-makes-nsfw-typo-in-michael-penix-jr-chyron-blunder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">hire better proofreaders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>23. Colts (0-0): Kudos for the Colts for admitting their mistake with Anthony Richardson. It would have been better if they hadn\u2019t made the mistake. <\/p>\n<p>24. Raiders (0-0): They\u2019re on the right track. Even if they\u2019re in the wrong division.<\/p>\n<p>25. Jets (0-0): Before Aaron Glenn can truly impact the Jets in a positive way, they\u2019ll need to revamp the roster.<\/p>\n<p>26. Panthers (0-0): When and if drinks are thrown will determine whether another coaching change occurs.<\/p>\n<p>27. Titans (0-0): Cam Ward is the real deal. The roster that earned the ability to pick him was not. How quickly can they improve?<\/p>\n<p>28. Jaguars (0-0): It all comes down to whether Trevor Lawrence can become what, after two seasons, it seemed like he was starting to be.<\/p>\n<p>29. Dolphins (0-0): Tyreek Hill is the prime candidate to be this year\u2019s Davante Adams.<\/p>\n<p>30. Giants (0-0): The sooner they turn the page to Jaxson Dart, the better off they\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n<p>31. Browns (0-0): The first six games are a meat grinder, setting the stage for a pivot to Dillon Gabriel in Week 7 \u2014 or during the Week 9 bye.<\/p>\n<p>32: Saints (0-0): It\u2019s not a good sign that Tyler Shough didn\u2019t beat out Spencer Rattler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
