Kapadiadifferent doesn't feel strong enough. I mean, it's a reminder of how quickly things can change. Those first two weeks were two of the worst offensive performances by any team in games this season.

So I was making jokes about Arch Manning wanting to play for the Falcons maybe next year, two weeks ago. and now I sort of think that the Falcons are the favorites in the NFC South. So yes, things can change quickly.
