I found this note from the great Aaron Schatz interesting. Saquon Barkley and the Eagles have yet to play one of the top 10 rushing defenses in the NFL (in terms of Schatz’s excellent hallmark defense adjusted value over average, DVOA, statistic). Meanwhile, Derrick Henry has played half ...
Yet, when considering defensive players their impact has to be DOMINANT among their peers. That means players expected to be on elite defenses like Mason Graham and Will Johnson at Michigan, Jack Sawyer, J.T. Tuimoloau and Caleb Downs at Ohio State, Mykel Williams and Malaki Starks at Geor...
Injuries bit this team hard, and fast, so the early bye could be a blessing in disguise. Offensively, both teams rank in the bottom 10 in points per game, yet neither is below .500. How? Realistically, the defenses are carrying both these teams. The Broncos have allowed 271.2 yards ...

Now, Tyreek Hill isn't walking through that door. "Cheetah" has a profound effect on opposing defenses, and he's irreplaceable as a home run hitter. Kansas City's run game is suspect, at best. Those are the concerns. However, K.C. still has Travis Kelce; you know, the b...
