Commanders
The Eagles vanquished their inner demons. The Chiefs' Death Star blew up Ice Planet Buffalo again. Get ready for the sequel/reboot/rematch that most of the NFL world really wasn't clamoring for.
Commanders
The Commanders' supersonic offense, the Bills' hoplite tactics, Zack Baun slams the screen shut, and ... a Chiefs penalty advantage SMOKING GUN!?!?!?!?!?!?
Commanders
The Bills outlast the Ravens. Saquon Barkley runs wild in the snow. The Chiefs complete their heel turn. And the Commanders ... wait, the COMMANDERS???
Mailbag
Also: Iggles anxieties and schadenfreude, some Hall of Fame discussion, a few personal musings, and eight playoff teams walk into a bar ..
Commanders
The Commanders upset the Buccaneers, the Ravens and Bills brace for a rematch, the Eagles clobber the Packers and Dora the Explorer trolls the Texans.
Commanders
The Packers and Commanders hope to upset the teams that beat them in the season openers, while the Vikings seek a rematch with the Rams in Los Angeles.
Chiefs
The Vikings set themselves up for an epic season finale, Saquon Barkley tops 2,000 yards, the Buccaneers keep the NFC South interesting-ish, and the AFC ... is definitely a conference, too.
Seahawks
In which your author, a consummate professional, saves all his whining about the Eagles loss until about 3,000 words in.
Broncos
A StatWatch tour of the NFL's invisible numbers finds the Vikings thriving on opponents' penalties, the Texans in a sack race and the Broncos enjoying (too) many happy returns.
Ravens
Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and others made a difference for playoff teams this year. But it wasn't that big a difference. And it won't make much of a difference for other RBs.
Kirk Cousins
The Chiefs issue a Sunday night statement of faith. Plus: a Cousins Kirkcoming, the Seahawks claim the NFC West (for now) and a fool and his $3 million are nearly parted.
Mailbag
Russell Wilson's resurgence, the Saquon Barkley "conversation," a kicker slump that's not really a slump, and much more.
