This season feels like a simulation. We start with the 4–1 Jaguars—should we rethink Trevor Lawrence and admit Liam Cohen might be great? Then the 2–3 Chiefs: fine or fronting, and what Chris Jones’ effort on the game-winner actually says. Among the 4–1 crowd, we pick the team that’s for real and the one that’s fraud.
Chaos file: the Browns trading Joe Flacco a week after benching him—only the third intra-division QB trade since 2001. What were the Browns doing, what are the Bengals thinking, and how did the Ravens miss a reunion? Also: why is Shedeur giving takes from a car dealership interview?
Quick hits: should the Eagles talk OC changes? Jerry Jones fined 100k for the flip; Cardinal HC Jonathan Gannon fined 100k for hitting his RB; UNC's Bill Belichick Hulu doc reportedly iced; Baker Mayfield talks trash pregame then posts it.
