Jared Goff made NFL revenge history in Lions’…
The Jets could be a problem with a healthy Aaron Rodgers and the last-place Patriots should be better with new head coach in Jarod Mayo and rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Quarterback Josh Allen hasn’t missed a game in five years but if he does, all bets could be off.
AFC North | Baltimore Ravens
Last-place probability: Medium
The Ravens have essentially been a one man show since two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson showed up in 2018. He’s been the team’s leading rusher for five straight seasons but will gladly lose carries to former Titan Derrick Henry, the NFL’s second leading rusher in 2023.
But Henry turns 31 next season and after 2,030 career carries, it’s fair to be skeptical. He and Jackson are phenomenal athletes and they’ll have to be with wide receivers like Nelson Agholor and Rashaad Bateman getting meaningful snaps behind second-year wideout Zay Flowers.
AFC South | Houston Texans
Last-place probability: Low
Thanks to a rookie of the year performance from quarterback C.J. Stroud, Houston went from worst to first in 2023. With 4,108 yards, Stroud finished the year as the league’s eight leading passer.
In a division with young quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson, Stroud looks to have an advantage with wide receivers like Nico Collins, Tank Dell and former Bill Stefon Diggs.
New running back Joe Mixon will also help.AFC West Kansas City ChiefsLast place probability: Impossible
