› Everything involved in the Bills-Ravens Sunday night NFL game. Wow. Josh Allen, you are him. Is Derrick Henry simply the greatest running back God has ever created considering his career stat line — 16 seasons and 1 game, 4,372 rushes, 27,407 and 303 rushing TDs — since his freshman year in high school? Unbelievably dramatic finish. A super cool intro with Baylor School soon-to-be-superstar Marshall Manning and his old man. Just wow.
› Aaron Rodgers. Yes, the storyline over the offseason was as tired as a sugar-crashed toddler, but the soon-to-be 42-year-old Steelers’ QB1 was super against the Jets in Pittsburgh’s 34-32 win. Rodgers finished 22-of-30 for 244 yards and four TDs without a pick. Side note: Jets counterpart Justin Fields was aces, too.
› John Mateer. More on this in our SEC football power rankings, but let’s be really clear about this: Mateer looks like what everyone expected Arch Manning to be in his first year as an SEC QB1. Dude has it — on the field and in every interview I have watched.
