Injuries, holdouts, and healthy scratches had a large impact on at least a couple of the major players in Week One in the AFC.
So here's my best guess:
1) Miami
There were two games that it really did look like the black room of the scriptwriters got hands on. The one that matters (with Aaron Rodgers' career looking like it might be OVER!) was in LA on Sunday, and it was Tua Time. With Damar Hamlin not playing, Joe Burrow (IMHO) still injured, and who knows what's going on in Kansas City, the league appears to be defaulting back to where it was before Tua Tagovailoa's fingers were all pointing different directions.
2) Cleveland
Do not undersell this league getting behind DeRapist "GIVE ME A MASSAGE, BITCH!" Rapist. Just saying now.
3) Jacksonville
Baltimore would get this spot if it weren't for their injuries after Week One.
DUD OF THE WEEK:
BRONZE: LIFT THE BANNER, DROP THE OPENER
Not the way you wanna start in Kansas City. It at least got the defensive holdout and the team to sign for one year, but I'm still not sure, especially with Kelce's knee, how that's going to play out.
SILVER: YINZER PAIN
Yeah, I know it's San Francisco. But that was a toothless lack of effort, Pittsburgh.
WINNER: BOY I LOVE LOSING SUDDENLY
That was all but gift-wrapped to you. Especially given Rodgers' injury and two calls which gave an eight-point swing in your favor in the second quarter, you get one touchdown pass and can do basically nothing? Let's just say you've got at least one expert thinking you threw the game.
