DC (1-0) may have won in Week 1, but it was mainly due to turnovers by DiNucci. QB play is going to be rough in DC this season. They’ll need to rely on their defense and running the football.

San Antonio (0-1) will look to bounce back after a Week 1 loss. QB Jack Coan went 25/36 for 207 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. He also lost a fumble and will need to clean up the turnovers in Week 2.
Orlando (0-1) lost by double-digits in Week 1. The Guardians started Paxton Lynch at QB, but he was pulled and Quinten Dormady came in. This week, Deondre Francois could start at QB.
