Believe the hype: Giants' bully ball, Ben Johnson's offense and 4 others who aren't going away this NFL season

I highlighted a half-dozen units and players that made a strong Week 1 impression, and explain why we need to keep eyeballs on them throughout the season.

The Jets’ offense displayed a strong, physical run game and creative use of personnel in their Week 1 matchup against the Titans, hinting at a promising season ahead. Meanwhile, the Giants showcased their robust "bully ball" offense, overpowering the Cowboys with heavy personnel and effective execution. Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars put on a stellar performance in their Week 1 contest against the Browns, finishing with a career-high 68% completion rate and pushing the ball over 10 air yards per pass attempt.

The Jaguars’ pass-catching versatility, including rookie Josh Cameron’s impressive catches and the depth of players like Brenton Strange and Bhayshul Tuten, adds to their offensive appeal. As the season progresses, these teams and their standout performers will undoubtedly be key factors to watch in the upcoming weeks.
