The Patriots Are Back, the Chargers Are Done, and More Week 4 Story Lines

KapadiaThese are three two and two teams that I'm bumping up the panic level on until they give me a reason to say, she'll calm down, settle down. Okay, it's only October. So there's three of them. I'm going to give them to you one by one. We can discuss them one by one. The first one, as we just hinted at, the Detroit Lions, my preseason Super Bowl pick.
