After months of wait, the football community is finally enjoying its favorite league. While we’re only three weeks into the 2023 NFL season, the games that took place so far have given a lot to talk about.

On the one hand, there are teams who are making a great impression early in the year. On the other hand, there are other organizations who already know they have plenty of work to do.

Only a handful of teams – especially the Miami Dolphins – can be proud of their offensive work so far. But most franchises have to improve on this aspect, as a rookie quarterback boasts more passing yards than 27 teams.
