OK, we’re two weeks into the NFL season, so let’s do what we do. Let’s categorize, group, classify, rush to premature conclusions and engage in unsupported speculation.

Harsh realities
I feel genuinely horrible for Trey Lance. But the ‘Niners just became a contender again.
Let’s say this for Cooper Rush. Nothing bugs him. And that is, as they say, a “big” arm.
The Colts just got blown out by the Jags. Is Irsay going to trade Matt Ryan by lunchtime? WTH is going on there? Because that roster is really good.
It’s about over for Mitchell in Pittsburgh before it ever got started.
Matt Rhule will be back in college football before you know it.
You know who looks genuinely reborn? Flacco. Seriously. Watch him. Arm Porn.
At least for the moment, I owe an apology to…Tua.
Random notes
Three NFL teams came from at least 13 down in the fourth to win on Sunday?
Brady v. Rogers dead ahead.
I’m surprised only that Herm Edwards lasted at ASU as long as he did. I love Herm. But the Sun Devils are going to be cleaning up his mess for the foreseeable future.
Kyler Murray again re-establishes his title as Mr. September. Don’t be fooled.
The Bengals are going to get their franchise quarterback killed.
Mike Evans is gonna get suspended. “Habitual line-stepper.”
The Lions are a fun team to watch. Yes. I just said the Lions are a fun team to watch.
That was a horrible mental mistake by Nick Chubb, who should have gotten down short of the goal line. He does that, and the Browns can run out the clock.
