The 2023 NFL schedule is out. Every week has at least one game that, on paper, looks like it’ll both play a role in the 2024 Playoff lineup and be an absolute laser show.
The ever-shifting landscape of a league defined by parity means some of those games will be underwhelming and a handful of favorites will instead sink down the standings. Surprise contenders will rise in their stead, making something like, say, a toss-away showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons a vital and entertaining firework in this fall’s night sky.
