However, it does seem like more and more teams (even the talented ones) just don't seem right at the beginning of the year. Besides the Steelers, the Bengals, Eagles (to some extent) KC, Seattle looked very underwhelming.
Well, the Eagles played against one of the best defenses in the league and still won, barely, but they won. KC was missing two of it's best players.
