Due to circumstances out of my control, I'll miss the entire Rams/Seahawks game on Sunday. But the one game I'll be able to watch in its entirety and am looking forward to is the Chiefs/Jaguars game. Mahomes against that Jaguars defense. A great offense against a great defense. Something will have to give. Looking forward to having Mahomes getting taken down a notch.

And yes, there is actually a man on Twitter named Tad Dickman. :sneaky:

Patrick Mahomes II vs. the Most Talented Defense in Football

The great Mahomes is finally going to face a defense that looks perfectly engineered to stop him. But right now, whether Mahomes can be stopped is a legitimate question.

Jaguars cornerback AJ Bouye hasn’t allowed a regular-season touchdown reception in more than 700 snaps. His teammate Jalen Ramsey is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, and the Jaguars defensive line is more talented than any other. Sunday’s game should teach us plenty about the Jacksonville unit and the quarterback it’s facing.

Something different is happening in the NFL right now. There are five teams averaging more than 30 points per game this season. Guess how many teams eclipsed 30 points per game last year. Zero. The new bar to compete in the NFL is to score a ton of points. Through the first month, everything else has been secondary. The Chiefs have played the Chargers, Steelers, Niners, and Broncos—all decent teams—and Mahomes and Co. put up at least 27 points in each game. But they have yet to face a defense like Jacksonville’s.

We’ve reached the end of the Mahomes hype cycle, because this is just who he is. He won’t always be the best quarterback in football, as he is at the moment, but when you consider his talent, his supporting offensive cast, and his coach, he should be a reliably great quarterback for the foreseeable future. Mahomes is current a 4/1 MVP favorite according to Bovada. Guess who else also has MVP odds.

Mahomes versus Jaguars defense, or Mahomes versus Blake Bortles, if you’re into that particular matchup, would be enough to make this the game of the week. But there’s another layer: Tyreek Hill vs. Jalen Ramsey. Earlier this week, Hill said Ramsey is “all right.” Ramsey then went the semantics route, roasting Hill for making the Pro Bowl as a return specialist and not as an offensive player.

I'll be watching RedZone for the early games. It'll be a real treat, because neither the Patriots or the Cowboys will be playing during that time (HUZZAH!!!).

But yeah, the Chiefs-Jags game probably tops the list. Also interested to see how Cleveland's D fares against the Ravens' O. Some of the other games (GB@DET, NYG@CAR, ATL@PIT) have the potential to be one-sided blowouts.

I'm sitting Mahomes in favor of Cousins in fantasy. He hasn't faced a D like the Jags but on the other hand the Jags haven't faced an O like the Chiefs, somethings got to give.

Vikings - Eagles must be interresting. I don't really know what to think about these teams.
Vikings seemed good against us but beat by the Bills and Eagles dont seem as dominant as last year (in the waiting of Wentz at 100% ?).
The loser will be in difficult situation.

Against the Stillers' D, Ryan should have a big day, unfortunately. Julio may or may not, since Calvin Ridley is the shiny new toy.

Vikings/Eagles and Chiefs/Jaguars. I really want to see how Mahomes will adjust to that pressure and coverage.
