Quick Summary

Sports analyst Brian Costello discusses how unpredictable the NFL season has been so far, with teams like the Raiders and Chargers performing as expected but many others defying predictions. He notes that despite the Jets' promising start, including a strong performance against the Titans and staying competitive early in their game against the Packers, it's too soon to make definitive judgments about the team. Costello suggests looking ahead at the Jets’ upcoming schedule, which now appears quite different from initial projections made when the season began.

Story summary

The NFL season is only two weeks old, and things are already unpredictable. The Jets surprised many by putting up a strong performance against the Titans and holding a 10-point lead over the Packers before losing. Despite these promising starts, questions remain about the team's overall capabilities. Initially, experts predicted that the Raiders would start at 2-0 and the Chargers at 0-2, but with only two games played, no one can predict how the season will unfold for any team. The Jets' schedule appears different now compared to when it was first released in May due to unforeseen developments in other teams' performances.
