Eskridge did look good, as did their hole O#. Colts D has been good lately, will be interesting to see if they regressed or just the Hawks beeing too good.

Yeah he picked up a concussion so may have to sit next week. Everett got a TD on his debut and Taylor got a sack. Wentz didn't have a good record against Seattle whilst in Philly and with no T.Y Hilton they were always likely to struggle. The whole division went 1-0 and all looked very strong. It's going to be brutal when they all go head to head.

Both teams should improve as the season goes on, despite losing the Colts could well end up with a better divisional record than Seattle. Thankfully, they're in the opposite conference. Titans and Jags look to be in a mess and whilst Houston looked good, the under-current around the club and DeShaun Watson does not look good.

I have been a bit suprised by the Titans, Jags and Houston.

I really thougt the Titans got a chance to be something special this season. But maybe it was just a bad week for them. The Jags for sure had a R QB in his first game, but i did expect HOU to be awful this season.

Speaking of Phily, im really thrilled to see if they are so good or if ATL was just that bad. Would love to see that Hurts mature into a great player, especially because i got him in my dynasty league in the 4th round last year :-).

I was a bit surprised by the Titans but fast starts aren't exactly their specialty. I expected the Jags to flop. It's a big transition for a college coach especially one when he and his QB doesn't understand losing very well which has been the Jags culture. I expected this from the Texans as well. Taylor has always been above average starter quality he's just never had a real chance due to injury or bad situations. While the Texans have been shedding name recognition I get the feeling there was talented backups at those positions that are capable with reps. Similar to how the Patriots operate. I don't think the Texans are a playoff team but they shouldn't be the worst either which is likely the Jags.

My biggest interest so far is how both undefeated west divisions play out. The NFC west especially where every team looked like a Superbowl contender.
