Summary

There are no unbeaten teams left six weeks into the 2023 NFL season. But there are still plenty of questions about every team in the league. Will the Eagles ever look like they are in high gear?

Is this really what the Patriots season is going to be? Kevin Clark, host of This is Football, joins the show to provide answers to these questions and more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kevin Clark, we know what defense does, it wins championships.

0:09.6

And while I'm not ready to call the Jets or the Brown Super Bowl teams yet, those two

But what I think we saw today is that some of these higher powered offenses have a ceiling,

1:19.2

I guess you could say.

And if they run into the wrong James Schwartz defense, if we can get into or just a front
