Baltimore Ravens: They can’t look past the Raiders in their home opener Sunday, especially if Lamar Jackson isn’t 100 percent. But we’ll know what this team is made of with Dallas, Buffalo and Cincinnati in Weeks 3, 4 and 5. I’m honestly undecided, but nobody else in the division is showing more promise right now. It’s ugly.
Cincinnati Bengals: I’m not panicking. The schedule gives them a good shot at rebounding from 0-2, and they have the talent and resiliency to bounce back even if they do fall to the two-time defending Super Bowl champions on the road in Week 2. That said, some progress would be nice, as well as an assurance Joe Burrow is healthy.
Cleveland Browns: Week 1 reaffirmed a lot of folks’ lack of confidence in three particularly embattled quarterbacks: Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones and Bryce Young. Watson faces a hell of an uphill battle as he also deals with another sexual misconduct allegation off the field. It’s hard to imagine his time in Cleveland ending well.
Pittsburgh Steelers: The Russell Wilson injury is a great excuse to give Justin Fields a solid chance without embarrassing the veteran Wilson. Without making it official, they should give the 25-year-old the next two starts against the Broncos and Chargers regardless of what he does or how Wilson’s calf looks. At least then you’ll have a pretty damn good idea of what Fields can do.
