from In The Zone With Anthony · host Anthony Smith

Early NFL Reality Check: Who’s Real, Who Should Panic? | In The Zone with Anthony Smith The NFL season is only two weeks old, but the pressure is already building. On this episode of In The Zone with Anthony Smith, we break down the 2-0 teams that may be getting too much early credit, the 0-2 teams that still have a path back to the playoffs, and the major decisions already shaping the season. � Anthony examines whether the Raiders, Bengals, and 49ers are true contenders; why the Texans, Chargers, and Colts face very different kinds of trouble; and whether Shane Steichen’s overtime decision against Patrick Mahomes could haunt Indianapolis. We also discuss Caleb Williams’ injury, Ben Johnson’s Bears offense versus Brian Flores’ aggressive Vikings defense, and the Sean Payton–Mike Macdonald controversy over Seattle’s use of publicly available fan videos for scouting. No overreactions—just sharp football talk, coaching analysis, quarterback pressure, and the storylines that matter heading into Week 3.
