4-Down Territory: Weird Steelers, awesome Texans, Super Bowl Lions, Worst of the Week

The Steelers make no sense, the Lions are Super Bowl contenders, the Texans have arrived, and Worst of the Week! it’s time for “4-Down Territory!”

With 10 weeks of actual football in the books for the 2023 NFL season, it’s time for Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire, and Kyle Madson of Niners Wire, to come to the table with their own unique brand of analysis in “4-Down Territory.”

This week, the guys have some serious questions to answer:

  1. The Steelers are 6-3 despite having been outgained and outscored overall for the season. Is there any reason whatsoever to take them seriously?

  3. The Texans have been the NFL’s best surprise with C.J. Stroud, but quarterback aside, are they the kind of team that could shock the world in the postseason?
  4. What was everybody’s Worst of the Week?

4-Down Territory: Best and worst team drafts, steals and reaches

In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Doug Farrar and Kyle Madson get into the NFL’s best and worst team drafts, steals and reaches.

In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire get into the four most important questions as the 2023 NFL draft has come to an end.

  1. It’s time to grade these picks far too soon, before the prospects-turned-pros have actually done anything in the NFL, because that’s part of our jobs! Let’s start with overall draft classes. Which team in your mind had the best draft haul overall?
  2. Conversely, which NFL team had a draft that left you wondering, “Is this all there is?”
  3. Give us one or two of the biggest reaches in this draft in your mind – the guys who were simply taken far sooner than their tape might have deserved.
  4. And to finish, who are your biggest sleepers in this draft class – the guys who will perform far above their pick numbers.
