• Drake Maye has a chance to build on his debut: He gets what might be the easiest possible matchup a passer can hope for in the Jaguars, who just allowed Caleb Williams and the Bears to walk all over them.

• Chargers-Cardinals has low-scoring potential: Both offenses have their strengths matched by the opposing defenses, likely resulting in a lower-scoring game than anticipated.
