After the 2026 schedule release, this piece breaks down every NFL team’s first-month outlook, labeling starts as Hot, Mild, or Cold and explaining the reasoning with examples like Giants and Bears starting hot, Patriots, Dolphins and Jets starting cold, and Chiefs expected to begin with a hot streak.
Giants rookie Casey Schmitt has made an impressive start to his MLB career, going 8-for-12 with two homers, two doubles, and four RBI in his first three games.
