From Bryce Young’s new receivers to Bo Nix’s impressive debut, there’s reason to be optimistic about almost every team that struggled in 2023. Even the Bears, with their exciting young quarterback, are looking like a potential playoff contender.
Speaking of the Bears, they demonstrated remarkable depth in the preseason, boasting a +68 point differential, the third-best since 2010. In fact, every team that has achieved a 60+ point differential in the preseason has gone on to make the playoffs.
Let’s take a look at some standout performers from the preseason. Trey Lance led the way in passing yards, with over 200 more yards than the next closest quarterback. Jaren Hall dominated in passer rating, making him a strong contender for Pre-MVP. And Jack Plummer impressed with his mistake-free play, attempting 43 passes without an interception.
But in the end, it’s hard to deny that Bo Nix was the real star of the preseason. Despite being a draft afterthought, he shone under Sean Payton’s guidance and ranks third in passer rating. Could he be the dark horse of the season?
As we head into the regular season, let’s hold onto these glad stats and remember that anything is possible. For now, let’s bask in the excitement and hope that comes with a new season.
