Nate Tice is joined by Sheil Kapadia to break down the most encouraging and concerning signs from NFL Week 1. Nate & Sheil start off with their takeaways from a dominant Kansas City Chiefs win over the Denver Broncos on Monday night, including optimism around the Chiefs run game with Kenneth Walker III and some real concerns about Bo Nix & the Denver offense going forward.
Next, the guys dive into their Week 1 green flags, which include a high-flying Chicago Bears offense, the New York Jets looking surprisingly competent, the Baltimore Ravens looking dominant against the Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars showing last season wasn’t a fluke.
There were some red flags to be concerned about as well: Sheil highlights (lowlights) the Tennessee Titans looking completely uninspired in a loss to the Jets, while Nate brings up the Dallas Cowboys defense and their miscues against the New York Giants. The duo finish up with their thoughts on the Los Angeles Chargers, and whether their stinker against the Arizona Cardinals was a fluke or cause for real concern.
