Somehow, we're closing in on completing the first quarter of the NFL season. It still feels like we're just getting to know teams and get a sense of which ones are exceeding or failing to live up to their preseason expectations, but with every franchise having played four games, we've gotten a few hundred snaps from just about every significant starter.
As a result, this is the day for us to begin awards season by handing out nods for the first quarter of the campaign. The math isn't quite as smooth anymore with the league moving to a 17-game schedule, but it's helpful to take a look at the first month and get a sense of what we've actually seen.
