Yep, this NFL season is … weird. It’s just weird. No other way to say it. 
Sam Darnold is the MVP front-runner, and the Vikings may be the best team in the league. Andy Dalton is maybe a top-10 QB in 2024. The Panthers have a way better offense than the Miami Dolphins. 
So does the local 8A high school football team down the road, by the way, but that’s neither here nor there. 
What else? Travis Kelce is washed. Beyond washed. Like, DONE-DONE.
