clots were tougher than we expected. 

Egh week 1 divisional agaisnt a good DL. Not too surprising.

Yeah. After the overreaction and what not. We walked out of there with a 10 point lead. That's with us gifting them 7 with the fumble. Defensively we played really well. Offensively we got off to a sluggish start but managed to put 14 points up when it mattered the most in Q4.

The Chiefs lost to the Lions in Arrowhead.
The Bengals with Big Bucks Burrow got murdered by Cleveland. 
The Bills got beat by a Rodgerless Jets offense. 

These are supposed to be the teams that are to be feared 17 weeks from now. Granted, it's EARLY AS HELL. But, BUT, we did have at least a better start than these guys AND we even get a direct say in how the final seeding shakes out this year potentially with all of them on our schedule. 

It's the year of the underdog man. Hear me now. Believe me later. It started with Colorado beating TCU. I expect our team, the Dolphins and Chargers to be pushing for an AFC Title run this year more than those other guys listed above.
