Trends begin to develop during the NFL's second week of play.
One week isn't enough to make any firm assessments. Sweeping generalizations run rampant, but they're useless. Two weeks of performances stack up and paint a better picture, like Bob Ross when he adds a little tree long after viewers think he's already created a masterpiece.
A few things are blatantly obvious so far this season:
- The Miami Dolphins are beyond terrible and the clear front-runner for the 2020 No. 1 overall draft pick.
- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn't a one-hit wonder and has the potential for an MVP-caliber season.
