I'm going off memory but I was looking earlier and he had like 50 more attempts than Mahomes but 500 fewer yards and 15 fewer TDs while still throwing a similar amount of INTs.
I know people say he lost an offensive lineman and was dealing with injuries, but Mahomes has the two worst tackles in the league and lost his #1 WR, yet he's having close to a career year.
The OC is a bad fit for Herbert. It's a Saints offense designed for Drew Brees and doesn't fully utilize Herbert's skillset the way Steichen did.
Steichen has now fully maxed out Hurts which is why I expect him to be a top head coach candidate. [Reply]

What is it about Cincinnati that keeps them from being in the same tier as KC/Buffalo? If they win this weekend they will have knocked off both KC and Buffalo. [Reply]

Beating Buffalo is the only thing that will put them on the same level.

It's Super Bowl or bust for the Bengals. With their talent, plus coming so close last year to winning, anything besides a SB victory is a disappointment.
It will be a dogfight every season between Mahomes/Allen/Burrow. Only one can advance each year to the SB; plus you still have to win that game. The last two champions came from the NFC. These guys will take many championships away from one another.
One other thing, but why aren't the Broncos in the bottom row on that graph? [Reply]
