The Chiefs have a tough game at Jacksonville in Week 2. They also have Patrick Mahomes. That matters in evaluating how they should feel about an 0-2 start. Other teams aren’t so lucky.

McDowell spilled the tea on LIV Golf, admitting he regrets helping prop up the rival tour, but also pointed fingers at the PGA Tour.
Graeme McDowell took a lot of heat last year after leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf.
“If Saudi Arabia wanted to use the game of golf as a way for them to get to where they want to be and they have the resources to accelerate that experience, I think we are proud to help them on that journey,” McDowell said.
No NFL figure seems more aware that football is indeed a game, and how everything is supposed to be in good fun, than Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
Fans at SoFi Stadium saw an excellent example of McDaniel’s mischievous streak during Miami’s Week 1 matchup with the Chargers. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, who calls color commentary on the Chargers’ radio broadcasts, recalled McDaniel’s attempt to prank the opposing sideline on his podcast, Move the Sticks.
Just two games into Deion Sanders’s tenure as Colorado’s head coach, there is already speculation as to whether Sanders could leave for a better job. Whether that means taking a higher-profile job in college or jumping to the NFL, Sanders is likely to generate a lot of interest if the Buffaloes continue to win.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t necessarily mean Sanders will want to leave, and for now, he is committed to Colorado. Sanders said Friday on ESPN’s First Take that he has no intentions of leaving his current job.
“I’m not going to the NFL,” he said.
Colorado State coach Jay Norvell criticized Colorado coach Deion Sanders this week ahead of Saturday’s matchup in Boulder for keeping his hat and sunglasses on during some interviews.
“I sat down with ESPN today,” Norvell said Wednesday. “I don’t care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, I took my hat off and I took my glasses off. I said when I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat off and my glasses off. That’s what my mother taught me.”
Sanders is soaking it all in.
Here’s what you need to know heading into Week 2 of the NFL schedule …
• I think after all the drama of this week, it’s at least worth cleaning up something on Stefon Diggs, and where he stands with the Bills. And to do that, I wanted to confirm the perception I’ve had of the Buffalo star since he came into the league eight years ago.
That perception, I’ll say, is awfully different from what you might’ve read.
Yes, he can be a handful at times.
Every week during Amazon’s Thursday Night Football coverage, former NFL tailback Marshawn Lynch gives viewers a look at life in the city where the game is being played with his ’N ’Yo City segment. But the vignettes are just as eye-opening for Lynch as they are for fans at home. He’s taken a boat through the bayou looking for alligators, gotten a tour of Mission Control at NASA headquarters in Houston and reminisced about a classic ESPN segment during a return to Buffalo, among other things.

Deion was waiting. Now he pounced.
Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell took a shot at in-state rival Deion Sanders when he made a comment about Coach Prime’s propensity to wear sunglasses.
I went back through Jay Norvell’s Coaches Show to see if there’s any added context to his comments about Deion.
There….isn’t. Pure rivalry fodder Take a listen: pic.twitter.
