## Resource

Aaron Rodgers finally made his official return to the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year contract and it certainly does make the Steelers a better team, but this doesn't really change the fact a championship is not in their future. Even with Rodgers, the Steelers have a brutal stretch of games after their bye week that could cause problems. The New York Giants are hoping for a breakout season, but that would be tough to do without a healthy Malik Nabers and a recent update on Nabers' recovery has to be a bit concerning for the G Men. To make matters worse, the Giants need a quick start to have the season they hope for. Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers got the top offensive coordinator on the market with Mike McDaniel and now he's helping get the NFL's accelerator program back off the ground just like he will try to do with LA. However, a very difficult stretch early in the season will likely define the year for the Chargers and McDaniel.
