The NFL refs set such a strong tone with illegal formation calls in the opener that they won't need to call it again all weekend

This was a secret point of emphasis to call illegal formation. And now I don't even think that the refs are gonna have to call it for the rest of week one... they set such a tone calling the illegal formation that I don't think they're gonna have to call it down the line.

Prediction Football Medium

While the flurry of calls in the Ravens-Chiefs game was an outlier, officials did continue to monitor the alignment throughout the weekend, though not with the same volume of flags.

Justin Tucker might be washed

Justin Tucker might be washed. Yeah. Can't hit 50 yarders anymore.

Tucker had a statistically poor 2024 season by his standards, missing several field goals from 50+ yards, supporting the 'washed' narrative.

Chiefs rookie Carson Steele is a star

I knew that we knew Carson Steele was gonna be a star. I didn't think that they were going to put him like front and center in the week one broadcast.

Prediction Football Medium

Steele had some early usage but failed to record a single touchdown or reach 150 rushing yards on the season, eventually being passed on the depth chart.
