Midway through this elongated, 17-game season, we are left with some significant questions. If you would have told a fan five years ago about the Aaron Rodgers situation, Odell Beckham Jr.’s foray into midseason free agency, Urban Meyer’s strange drift into incompetence and the Raiders’ descent into chaos, one might call you an alarmist at best and a bad fiction writer at worst. That is our reality, though, as we stare out at the second half of this season and wonder what might happen next, given what we’ve already tried to digest.
Fear not, though, as this is a post that brings good news.
