## Resource

The Atlanta Falcons were expected to have a quarterback competition between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix, but Penix has been absent so far with injury and STILL may win the job based on how bad Tua has played. At this point, no matter who wins, the Falcons will not have a good season. They'll see the Miami Dolphins this weekend who do not have the talent needed on offense to be a good team. The Seattle Seahawks paid their star defensive lineman Leonard Williams after an offseason of paying their guys, but the Seahawks simply don't have enough this year to repeat. Patrick Mahomes is trying to get the Kansas City Chiefs back to the big game, but they are dealing with uncertainty all around Mahomes. Finally, we have two quarterbacks in the NFC North who need some more reps before Week 1 in Kyler Murray and Caleb Williams. The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears can't afford a slow start.
