1. Seahawks (preseason No. 1; 0-0): Is rookie Jadarian Price ready to carry the load in the running game?
2. Rams (No. 2; 0-0): Anything short of a Super Bowl appearance will be viewed as failure.

4. Broncos (No. 4; 0-0): Jaylen Waddle could be just what the passing game needed.
5. Bills (No. 5; 0-0): How many grass fields does it take to finish a football season? (We're about to find out.)
6. Bears (No. 6; 0-0): Forty-one years after the pinnacle of the 46 defense, can they do enough on that side of the ball?
7. Patriots (No. 7; 0-0): The first four games are a meat grinder, especially in comparison to last year's cakewalk.

12. Chargers (No. 11; 0-0): The clock is ticking on Justin Herbert fulfilling his full potential.
13. Chiefs (No. 13; 0-0): When it's time to call the plays, will they truly commit to the run?
14. Lions (No. 14; 0-0): Falling into a fourth-place schedule gives them the inside track to winning the division.
15. 49ers (No. 12; 0-0): It's impossible to ignore the collective impact of one weird story after another.
