- And then you got the New York Giants offense, right? Their quarterback Daniel Jones, he had this kinda cool start in the preseason.

- Teddy Bridgewater, you know, he wasn’t really having a great time in his first game with the Detroit Lions. He was fumbling and, like, not making a bunch of yards.
- Those Arizona Cardinals, man, they totally flopped against the Chiefs. They looked like they’re in for a tough season or something.
- And then Tua Tagovailoa, he started off with an interception, but he, like, got better as the game went on. He’s gotta be, you know, more consistent if he wants to match his potential.
- Jake Moody, he’s like the kicker for the 49ers, right? So, he made this game-winning field goal, but he, like, missed a few kicks during the preseason. Maybe he needs more, you know, practice or something.
