A jam-packed Scripted 15 takes a look at the first four weeks of the NFL season as a whole, featuring: Kyler Murray’s ascension, Dak Prescott’s return, Patrick Mahomes’ continued excellence, and my new playoff predictions.
The top topics from around the league, including Kyler Murray’s excellence, the Ravens’ aggression, the Brady-Gronk renaissance, Sam Darnold being good (?) and more!

With the Saints thrashing the Bucs, the Bills beating the Seahawks and the Steelers edging out the Cowboys, how do we know who’s good?
Patrick Mahomes lit the world on fire, Lamar Jackson looked mortal, the Falcons blew another huge lead and Josh/Jaheim Allen won again. Drew Brees is a problem, but is he the Saints biggest concern? All this and more in the Week 3 Scripted 15.
