When looking at the current state of the New York Rangers, it’s hard to believe that just two seasons ago they won the President’s Trophy by having the best record in the NHL. Last season regression at both ends of the ice – but especially defensively – saw the team slip to barely over .500 and out of the playoffs for the first time since 2020-21.

Coming out of the University of Washington, Penix was only projected to become an average starting QB in time, and certainly his current injury – combined two other ACL tears in college – raise a red flag.

And clearly, they are not done there.

The Seattle Kraken surprised everyone when they racked up 100 points and made the playoffs in their second season in 2022-23, but it’s been downhill since... until this season, that is.

Coming out of Penn State, Strange was projected to ultimately become an average starter thanks to his toughness and athleticism. Consider him a top four TE option for Wildcard Weekend.

Seattle heads into the season finale on Saturday riding a six-game win streak to reach 13 victories, yet it still hasn’t wrapped up the NFC West. This game against San Francisco will decide the division – just the kind of drama we crave heading into the playoffs.

The move south offered some good (a legitimate extended look) and some bad (he was somewhat productive, but mostly scuffled).

So while Dallas needs just one more win to match last season’s total and the offense has been world class, the D has somehow managed to get even worse.

With another two tackles for a loss on Sunday, he broke his own franchise record with 25 in a season. Perhaps slowed by a knee woe, Crosby wasn’t as active as usual against Denver, logging just four tackles, but he’s already set new career highs in interceptions, stuffs and stuff yards with four games to go. He continues to be a menace to opposing QBs, having already surpassed last season’s sack total, giving him an outside shot to match or pass his career high of 14.5 set in 2023.

At 6-7, KC now has three teams to pass to get to the AFC’s final playoff slot, and while it’s a joyous time for those that are over their decade long domination, it’s still a puzzling development.
