Hunter Renfroe Jersey Turnovers are a regular piece of his game once again, and Carolina is quickly losing ground as a result. While they started with energy against the Packers, still isn't changing their offense. Schematically and philosophically, he is. But
Ty France Jersey the overall production is still lackluster. and are killing it, but we're all sleeping on their defense, too. That unit took care of busine s against and has allowed the eighth-fewest yards among all teams this year.Crazy as it sounds, they might benefit from starting on Thursday. Not because deserves to be benched, but because he -- like the rest of the team -- is banged up, and Kevin Stefanski needs an excuse to simplify things. Even with hurting his calf on the game-winning throw, they have all the makings of a real Super Bowl contender. Mike McCarthy has one heck of an offense on his hands, and it's living up to all the hype.They're the worst team in the AFC West. Yep, that's right. was always teasing us with that 3-0 start. Vic Fangio isn't helping. Big changes may look inevitable in just a few weeks.He didn't say it outright after their sixth straight lo s, but Dan Campbell is quickly souring on Jared Goff. Sunday's lo s marks the second straight week for Goff with a QB rating below 70, zero touchdowns and at least one turnover. still owns the North.

Andres Munoz Jersey -9. The locker room is already growing restle s, and next up they've got the Cardinals, Rams, Dolphins and Titans.They're not dead yet. Yes, it was the Texans they routed on Sunday, but , and all looked good and healthy, and the defense got a big confidence boost. The South is still up for grabs. They got their first win under Urban Meyer in London, and a surprise hero deserves a lot of the credit: is the real dealas their kicker, erasing memories of an uneven debut with two big 50-yard kicks, including the game-winner.They easily cruised back from an early deficit once they locked in, but they're still way too loose with the football. can never be counted out, but he's also become a near-lock for some potential turnovers. is still slinging it with authority. In his first game since Jon Gruden's abrupt departure, the QB looked mighty comfortable without his old pal, hitting several bombs to roll past Denver and stay above .500. has all the talent in the world, and Brandon Staley is getting rave reviews, but that doesn't change the fact they could use a better run game. is great, but the lack of ground support contributed to Herbert's off day against Baltimore.The slip-up against Arizona was notable, but they reminded the NFL against the Giants they're still a Super Bowl contender. How can they not be, with so effortle sly finding for huge plays and the defense stealing the ball itself?Maybe this is going too far, but it sure feels like they need another overhaul this offseason.

Bill Belichick's defense is so unpredictable (in a bad way) right now.They've still got a path to the playoffs. Obviously it's too early to write most teams off, but with Carolina quickly slipping to .500, there's suddenly an opening for New Orleans to make up some ground. He had a nice, if unspectacular, run to start the year, but has fallen back to Earth in a hurry, throwing three picks in a bad lo s to the Rams. L.A. was always going to be a tall task, but there are still no clear answers at QB here.They're capable of going a week without losing!

Why? Chiefly because and Nick Sirianni are exacerbating each other's miscues. They'd better start getting the little things right. wasn't too bad on prime time, albeit against a weakened Seattle defense.
