About last night: Cincinnati Bengals 24, Jacksonville Jaguars 21 -- Joe Burrow won the showdown of the previous two No. 1 draft picks, leading a come-from-behind win capped by Evan McPherson's last-second field goal.
Game of the Week: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New England Patriots -- Queue up Adele's "Hello." Tom Brady is making his return to Foxborough to face his old coach, Bill Belichick. Outside of this much-hyped reunion, Brady can etch his name into the record books by becoming the NFL's all-time career passing yardage leader Sunday night.
Sneaky-Good Game of the Week: Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams -- This is actually a better matchup than Bucs-Pats from a football perspective. Both teams come in unbeaten. An early season head start in what figures to be a highly competitive NFC West will be at stake.
Survivor Pool Game of the Week: Houston Texans at Buffalo Bills -- The Bills are the pick this week. The Texans might have won five of the last six meetings, including a 2019 AFC wild-card game, but these are very different teams than the ones that met on Jan. 4, 2020. Full disclosure: Previous picks were the Rams (Week 1), Buccaneers (Week 2) and Broncos (Week 3) ✅.
