Each week, we’ll give you 10 things to keep an eye on during the week’s upcoming games. From one-on-one match ups to players on the mend, we’ll talk about 10 things that could have an impact on your favorite team, or your fantasy team.

1. The Eagles’ rushing attack against the St. Louis Rams: The Eagles host the Rams this weekend, and will look to get LeSean McCoy back on track. McCoy has rushed for just 39 yards combined over the Eagles last two games, but the Rams’ defense could be the remedy for Philadelphia’s problems. The Rams are ranked 30th in the league against the rush, giving up 155 yards per contest. The Rams’ run defense and the return of starting right tackle Lane Johnson should help an offensive line that’s struggling to open up some holes.

2. Eli Manning against the Atlanta Falcons’ defense: Everything is starting to click for Eli Manning in the New York Giants’ new West Coast Offense, and this week the team looks like it will finally get their first round draft pick – rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. – on the field. After scoring just 14 points in each of their first two games, Manning and the Giants have scored 75 points in the following two. The Falcons have struggled to rush the passer this year, gathering just four sacks over their first four games. Last Sunday, Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater torched the Falcons’ defense for 317 yards as the Vikings rolled over the Falcons 41-28. If Manning sees the kind of time that Bridgewater saw on Sunday, expect Manning and the Giants’ offense to have a field day.

3. The Cleveland Browns in a game I expect them to win: Yes, the Browns are just 1-2, so they shouldn’t be considered heavy favorites Sunday when they take on the 1-3 Titans in Tennessee. Their records may be similar, but the Browns have played a better brand of football this season, and I fully expect them to win in Tennessee. However, that’s where the issue lies. Every time the Browns seem to be making strides for respectability, every time we start to believe they’re about to become a playoff contender, they seem to fall flat on their face.

4. A Mike Glennon – Drew Brees shootout: You probably didn’t expect to see the words Mike Glennon and shootout used together anytime soon, but a shootout is exactly what you could see Sunday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fresh off their first win of the season, travel to New Orleans to take on the baffling Saints. Last week, Glennon had just 52 passing yards at halftime, but led the team on a second half comeback, throwing for 245 second half yards in the team’s 27-24 come from behind victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. If you corner a dangerous animal, they become even more dangerous. Sunday, a desperate Drew Brees might throw for 700 yards if that’s what it takes to get his 1-3 Saints a victory. The Buccaneers and Saints are leaving massive holes in coverage for their opponents to exploit, and you can fully expect them to exploit each other Sunday in what is sure to become a shootout.

5. Jaguars try to be the third team to get their first win against the Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers are in a bad mood after falling to the Buccaneers this past Sunday.

“We just lost to one of the worst NFL teams in our house,” Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown said. “We blew the game. We feel embarrassed, we feel shame. “Losing the game at the end is unacceptable.”

The loss to the Buccaneers highlighted some of Pittsburgh’s issues. The defense is without Ryan Shazier, Jarvis Jones and Ike Taylor, and the offense gave up five first half sacks against a Buccaneers defense that had struggled to get to the passer through their first three games. The Jaguars have tallied 12 sacks, which is tied for second best in the NFL. If the Jaguars can get to Ben Roethlisberger and create a couple of turnovers, and rookie quarterback Blake Bortles can find some of the holes Mike Glennon found a week ago, it’s not entirely crazy to think the Jaguars might be able to be the second consecutive team to get their first win of the year against the Steelers.

6. Kansas City looks to continue their surprising play: Someday I’ll explain to you why I think Andy Reid is a little overrated as a head coach, but right now I have to give credit where’s it’s due. Reid has the Kansas City Chiefs playing a brand of football that I didn’t see coming given the losses the Chiefs have endured on their roster. The offensive line saw guards Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz, and left tackle Branden Albert, all leave via free agency. The defensive side took a hit over the offseason with the departures of Brandon Flowers and Tyson Jackson, and they’ve been hit by injuries since the season began losing Derrick Johnson and Mike DeVito to season ending injuries. Despite all the losses across the offensive line, the Chiefs have the fourth ranked rushing attack in the NFL. Despite the losses on defense, the Chiefs defense has turned it on giving up just 29 points combined in their victories over the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The Chiefs have a test Sunday when Alex Smith leads his unit into a matchup with the team that drafted him, the San Francisco 49ers.

7. The Bengals dominating the Patriots: I’m not big in the prediction business, and I’m not a big gambler, but if the Bengals are still underdogs heading into New England, call this my lock of the week! The Bengals are coming off of a bye week and have had two weeks to prepare for the wounded Patriots. The fact that the 2-2 Patriots have played poor football to start the season shouldn’t bother Patriots fans as much the fact they sound like they have no answer for it. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady look like they want to throw their hands in the air and say, “I’ve got nothing.” Through three weeks, the Bengals look like the best team in football. The defense is playing fast and aggressive, and the multiple blitz schemes that new defensive coordinator Paul Guenther will employ are sure to confuse the struggling Patriots’ offensive line. Don’t expect a blowout, as the Bengals will likely control the game on the ground and impose their will on the Patriots the way they did to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. These teams are headed in different directions, and it will be a shock if the Patriots win on Sunday Night Football.

8. Kirk Cousins tries to bounce back against the Seahawks: Kirk Cousins seemed to have the world in his hands. The Redskins’ offense exploded after Cousins replaced the injured and suddenly maligned Robert Griffin III. It seemed everyone in Washington wanted Cousins to remain the starter after watching him torch the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles. Then came Thursday night, when Kirk Cousins and the Redskins’ offense imploded, turning the ball over six times in a 45-14 blowout loss to the New York Giants. Cousins, who looked so in control of the Redskins’ offense the previous two weeks, looked completely lost at times, throwing four interceptions to Giants safeties and corners. Now, Washington will take on the best secondary in the game, the Seattle Seahawks.

9. The Bears and Panthers play in the “Inconsistent Bowl”: This game could be a smash-mouth, hard-nosed football game, that should be accompanied by NFL Films music and played back on a grainy 19-inch television for effect, or it could be one of the sloppiest games we’ve ever seen. That’s who the Bears and Panthers are. At times, both can play a run first, punch you in the mouth style of football, and at times, each quarterback looks like one of the league’s premiere signal callers. However, each team has simultaneously managed to look occasionally soft, and each quarterback has frustrated their teams with erratic play. This Sunday’s match up provides us with a perfectly imperfect battle between two teams that are on the verge of greatness… or despair.

10. The New York Jets’ quarterback controversy: If it’s going to work out for the Jets, it’s going to work out with Geno Smith. Smith has all the physical tools and should be allowed to make mistakes. Teams are too quick to give up on young football players, like the Bills just did with E.J. Manuel, and it appears to be a foolish move. Few quarterbacks are great decision makers 20 games into their NFL careers. How some think we should know whether or not a guy still learning the position is a bust or not is beyond me. The puzzling thing about the Jets situation is fans are chanting for a guy who doesn’t want to be on the field. Michael Vick is not a competitor. He doesn’t want to be on the field, and there have been reports out of New York that the coaching staff has been disappointed by just that. Vick couldn’t have been happier when he was replaced by Nick Foles in Philadelphia, and he couldn’t be happier being behind Smith with the Jets. Think about it, when do you remember a starter losing his starting job and then signing so quickly to be a backup with a new team come free agency? Face it, Michael Vick wants to make a few million dollars holding a clip board and has no interest in the responsibility of actually being a starting NFL quarterback, so please Jets fans, do both him and Geno Smith a favor, and just get behind the kid. He truly is your best hope.
