Welcome to Missing the Point—the home of sharp NFL analysis without the fluff. In this episode, Dave Clarke and Rayshawn Buchanan reveal our Top 10 NFL teams after Week 1 of the 2025 season.
The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just win—they sent a message. Dominant on both sides of the ball, Jalen Hurts and company have their eyes on another Super Bowl run. But the Buffalo Bills are right behind them, with Josh Allen torching defenses and playing mistake-free football.
Meanwhile, the Ravens, Chargers, and Packers all made huge statements. And don’t overlook the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where Emeka Egbuka looks like a star in the making.
But not everyone had a strong debut—the Bears, Patriots, and Giants all looked completely outmatched. Chicago may already be on the brink of a QB controversy, with JJ McCarthy’s stock soaring.
