One of the best weekends in sports. Two possible Super Bowl rematches possible, one from last year, another from 33 years ago. I really hope the Bills win but I don’t know how anyone wins in KC. I also want the Commanders but unless Hurts is out, I think their magical run ends.
It’s funny, as we all talk about the need for WR, only one team playing today (Philly) has a legit #1 and #2 but they are led by the running of Hurts and Barkley. 68 and 67 catches for Smith and Brown for 1900+ yards, or 100 fewer than Barkley. Hurts has 630 yards rushing. They’re dominant on both lines.
Same with KC, who has even fewer weapons at WR. Xavier Worthy leads the WR room with 59 catches, great numbers if it’s 1977.
Washington has Scary Terry from THE Ohio State University with 82 catches, 13 TDs. After him is household name Olamide Zaccheaus with 45 snags.
Finally the Bills and their 2nd ranked offense, led in WR receptions by Prowler’s boi Khalil Shakir with 76 catches for a paltry 10.8 YPC and 4 TDs, coming in a distant second are two guys with 31 catches each.
Odd that the one team here that the Steelers appear to be possibly patterning themselves after has the best group. Gotta hope the recent attention paid to OL in the draft and free agency pays off next year, now it’s time to rebuild the DL in a DL rich draft.
All of the teams most loaded at the position are watching, some (Miami, Cincy) didn’t even make the playoffs. Championships are still won in the trenches.
