Before the season, some people picked them as having the best roster.

Before the game with the Broncos, they were touting all the FRPs in their secondary.

But last season, their defense struggled in the first half and got better by the end, though not elite.

John Harbaugh is one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL. Not sure how many years are left on his contract.

Dart falling off heavily here in the 2nd half. I heard they were giving him oxygen like 6 minutes into the game, how is that even possible?

Wow, Nix nutted up. Made big plays after doing nothing for 3.5 quarters.

Why did Broncos go for 2? Bold but still over 7 minutes left in the game so they must be confident in their defense not giving up more than a FG.

Two years ago, the Broncos had statistically the greatest defense in NFL history. Look where they are now.

Harbaugh is likely going to take the blame, and he probably should.

How cute, the Texans finally popped their @Baltimore cherry. Isn't that adorable! It only took a couple decades.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I like the way he looks

Although Eagles got plenty of favorable calls this season so far, so only fair lol.

But man, this offense is so bad, even with Barkley and Hurts finally getting going. Just such bad playcalling. Patullo in trouble.

Seems to come in waves.

In December 2021 against the Ravens, Burrow passed for 525 yards on 46 attempts (80.4% completion).

Maybe the Eagles inherited the black magic from the Chiefs last season? I feel like there’s gonna some bounce that will go the Eagles way and ultimately they’ll win the game.

Wow Kyler rolls out and throws up a jump ball and MHJ catches it for a long TD, over two Titans defenders.

That's Kyler's signature play. If MHJ can do a reasonable imitation of Larry Fitzgerald, they may make a few highlights.

Edit, they ruled him down at the 1, not a TD.

But they may cheese that play some more, or try to.

Well a minute to go, need a touchdown, looks like they're gonna get plenty of more chances.

The penalty on Baun was an obvious one.

But that throw away should've been grounding.
