-- Mac Jones looked good. Zach Wilson looked valiant but overwhelmed. Trevor Lawrence didn't get enough help. Trey Lance has the *one* coach who can get away with a 2-QB system.

-- The Steelers beat the Bills using a perfect Mike Tomlin gameplan

-- Russ is still Russ. Wentz is still Wentz. That's good for Seattle. And very bad for Indy.

-- Justin Herbert is ridiculous

-- Dak really is back

Closing thoughts
