AFC South

Standard

1. Jacksonville Jaguars

They made an amazing late season push to clinch the division last year. It’s theirs to lose going into 2023.

2. Houston Texans

The future looks extremely bright for the Texans and it starts with the hiring of DeMeco Ryans as their head coach.

3. Tennessee Titans

If anyone knows what the Titans are doing, you might want to let them know because I don’t think they know what they are doing either.

4. Indianapolis Colts

Time will tell if Anthony Richardson will be the franchise quarterback they need him to be, but they’ve all but burned the bridge with RB Jonathan Taylor who is an important safety net for the QB.

AFC North

Standard

1. Cincinnati Bengals

There are a lot of key contributors on offense who will be due for new contracts after this season. This is the time for them to capitalize on getting back to the Super Bowl.

2. Baltimore Ravens

QB Lamar Jackson got his extension and was provided an influx of new receiving targets. Now it’s time to show what he can do with it.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

This could be one of the best Steeler teams in recent memory under Mike Tomlin. Unfortunately they play in an ultra-competitive AFC North.

4. Cleveland Browns

With a full season of Deshaun Watson at quarterback, all eyes will be on Cleveland and whether they made a huge mistake.

AFC East

Standard

1. Buffalo Bills

This kind of feels like a ‘make or break’ kind of season for them to finally punch their ticket into a Super Bowl with the current crop of players.

2. New York Jets

All they needed last year was a competent quarterback. They have that now in Aaron Rodgers.

3. Miami Dolphins

Their high powered offense depends on the health of QB Tua Tagovailoa and the hiring of Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator has expectations high in South Beach.

4. New England Patriots

I find it hard to believe that Bill Belichick thought having two assistants run the offense with no offensive coaching experience was going to work out last season.

Recap of Super Bowl LVII

Standard

You’re Witnessing Something Special

We all knew going into this Super Bowl that the Kansas City Chiefs were in familiar territory with the fact that this was their 3rd appearance in the last five seasons. Would the Chiefs play the way they did against the San Francisco 49ers or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? One thing was certain and it was that QB Patrick Mahomes needed to play to his MVP level if they were to hoist another Lombardi trophy.

Super Bowl LVII

Standard

It’s not surprising to see the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the third time in the last five seasons. Having been in the last five AFC Championship games, they are quickly becoming the New England Patriots of the Belichick-Brady era. This time with Andy Reid as head coach and Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. For the Philadelphia Eagles it has been a quick turnaround since they fired head coach Doug Pederson after the 2020 season. It was only three seasons earlier that they won their first Super Bowl title, but the 2020 season was such a disaster that they needed to hit the restart button. Nick Sirianni is only in his second season as the head coach and already they are poised to win another Super Bowl with a stacked roster. Jalen Hurts had a MVP-esque season, but was a bit banged up down the stretch of the season missing two games, which happened to be losses. This is a game that has a steady supply of storylines and without further adieu lets get into it.
