NFL picks: Joe Burrow vs. Patrick Mahomes, schematic fun in the NFC and Carolina’s QB problem lead Week 2 action
Around the AFC
Another Tua scare. New season, same Buffalo domination over division rival Miami. The Bills rolled on Thursday night. The scary part, though, came in the second half when Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustained another concussion. He’s had several in his pro career and the latest came when he tried to run through a Damar Hamlin tackle attempt. What’s next for the quarterback with a new five-year, $212.4 million contract extension? Hard to say, but his health certainly should take priority.
Deshaun’s mess. Well, Russell Wilson’s trade and extension in Denver will probably never be the worst in NFL history and the club has Deshaun Watson to thank for it. Watson struggled again in Week 1 and was named in yet another lawsuit related to sexual misconduct. His fully guaranteed contract through 2026 makes him nearly impossible to move on from, but they have to consider it anyway at some point, right?
