Patriots-Bills and Jets-Bears bring a closer look at Drake Maye’s first three weeks of tape, receiver injuries, and unsettled quarterback situations.
Jaguars-Bengals and Cowboys-Texans hinge on perimeter battles involving Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Nico Collins, George Pickens, and Jacksonville’s corners.
