John Breech· Nov 1, 2026
In his Week 8 grades, Breech argued the Bills should be considered the AFC's team to beat if their defense keeps playing well, and suggested the Buccaneers now look like the best team in the NFC South. He also floated that the Colts could move on from coach Shane Steichen, that Arizona might shop Jacoby Brissett before the deadline, and that Raiders back Mike Washington will keep out-snapping Ashton Jeanty.
“The Bucs are starting to look like the best team in the NFC South after destroying the Panthers and Falcons in consecutive weeks.”
