If you’re in a survivor pool or a football pick’em, chances are you didn’t fare too well in the past few weeks. This highlights the significant parity in the NFL. However, it’s still early in the season, and a lot could change in the next 15 weeks. Here are some key takeaways after two weeks of football.
Injuries: A concerning number of key players have already suffered injuries in the first two weeks of the season. How will these teams manage these injuries and persevere?
Rookie QB’s: There was a lot of buzz surrounding Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams this year. So far, Jayden seems to have the edge with 0 interceptions and 2 rushing touchdowns. He has demonstrated his ability to pass and run effectively. However, he needs to work on his sliding technique to avoid potential injuries. His zero interceptions shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering his track record at LSU where he didn’t throw many and showed good decision-making.
New Kickoff: The new kickoff rule has been widely criticized by both players and viewers. While safety is paramount, many feel that this rule change doesn’t make much sense.
New Orleans Saints: Are the Saints for real? They have scored on every offensive drive so far this season and show no signs of slowing down. With a high level of confidence, they seem poised for success in their relatively weak division.
