Week 8 is almost completely in the books and in a strange twist of fate, all 32 NFL teams had action in what used to be the final week of the first half. Normally once the bye weeks start, a handful of teams are off every week until they’ve all had rest, but not in 2023.

There were several standout QB performances as multiple signal callers threw for four touchdowns in their games, including rookie Will Levis making his first start for the Tennessee Titans. There were a handful of upsets this week, with both the 49ers and Chiefs falling by double-digits. What does it all mean? Another new No. 1 takes hold and sets the stage for even more exciting action in Week 9.
