A Tar Heel recap of the NFL’s first three weeks

The NFL has been... strange this year. Stadiums’ piped-in noise has been inconsistent, coaches are willingly flouting mask protocol, and, most unfortunately, injuries have been absolutely running rampant across the league. Still, it’s football, and it’s been happening relatively COVID-free (with just A.J. Terrell having tested positive so far among players who are playing). Meanwhile, UNC has just had two weekends off, one thanks to COVID and the other pre-scheduled, so those of you who don’t already have a team to be rooting for, or don’t watch the NFL at all, or are Jets fans, might have found yourself turning to Sunday ball to fill in the unexpectedly long gap that a lack of Tar Heel football has left - or at least thinking about it.
