Option 1, Week 9’s Burning Question: Can the Ravens’ offense get on track? After a 14-2 campaign and the NFL’s top record in 2019, Baltimore has struggled to find its unstoppable rhythm. Even when the Ravens doubled Pittsburgh’s offensive yardage output and tore the Steelers apart on the ground, Lamar Jackson racked up four turnovers

Option 1, Week 8’s Burning Question: How will Tua Tagovailoa perform against Los Angeles? A rookie quarterback relegated to the bench the first seven weeks of the season was primed to kick off his career in his debut and launch a Hall of Fame career. No, I’m not talking about Dallas third-stringer Ben DiNucci. It’s

Option 1, Week 7’s Burning Question: Are the Raiders for real? Las Vegas broke onto the scene with wins over the Saints in their Allegiant Stadium debut and the Chiefs on the road in Kansas City.

Option 1, Week 5’s Burning Question: Will the Cowboys break their slump? The good: the Cowboys did, in fact, break their two-game skid and now hold the NFC East lead at a paltry 2-3. Andy Dalton led a four-play, 52-second final drive to set kicker Greg Zuerlein up for the game-winning 34-yard field goal. The

Option 1, Week 4’s Burning Question: Can Tom Brady solve an elite defense? The Buccaneers entered Week 4 with a lead in the NFC South, but the surprising fact was more of an indictment on the rest of the division (2-7 combined) than the supposed superteam in Tampa Bay.

Option 1, Week 3’s Burning Question: What gives in Ravens-Chiefs megaclash?
