The key to the game in week one isn’t complicated. It’s not based on complex schemes, never-before-seen blitzes, or on one specific moment in the game that will swing things one way or the other. Rather, it’s something that’s been known for ages: the team that wins in the trenches tends to win the game outright.
That’s true in any game, but it matters more against a team that reached the playoffs last year partly because of their strength on the offensive line. They were nicknamed Sacksonville last year for a good reason, and they were the second best defense in the league in terms of total yards allowed.
