Quarterback The AFC is lucky that the Chargers did not qualify for the post-season last season, as they were arguably a top-3 team in a weak AFC. They went 9-7, but were a lot better than that suggested, as they went 3-6 in games decided by 8 points or fewer…

Quarterback The Raiders broke out as a 12-4 team in 2016, after over a decade since their last winning record, but then they regressed to 6-10 in 2017, with largely the same supporting cast. What happened? Well, after going 8-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less and posting…

Quarterback A 3-13 team in 2016, the Jaguars made one of the biggest leaps in win total last season, winning 10 games and the AFC South and coming within a blown 4th quarter lead in the AFC Championship of going to the Super Bowl. Their big leap forward should have…

Quarterback From 2014-2016, the Houston Texans started 8 different quarterbacks, Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, TJ Yates, Brandon Weeden, Brock Osweiler, and Tom Savage.

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions 2018 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Lions finished last season 26th in first down rate differential at -3.29%, but they still won 9 games, largely because of their +10 turnover margin. Turnover margins tend to be inconsistent on a week-to-week and year-to-year basis though, so the Lions won’t be able to count on that…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers 2018 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Packers started last season 4-1 and looked on their way to another year contending for the Super Bowl, but Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone in week 6 against Minnesota, which effectively ended their season. Through 5 games, the Packers picked up first downs at a 41.19% rate,…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings 2018 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Vikings have had quite a quarterback carousel the past few seasons. They drafted Teddy Bridgewater with the 32nd overall pick at the end of the first round in 2014 and he went 17-11 in 2 seasons at the helm of a run heavy offense, completing 64.9% of his…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears 2018 NFL Season Preview
