Seahawks Repeat? | Patrick Mahomes Bounce Back? | AFC & NFC West Preview

NFL Previews are here! Chris kicks off with the NFC West, rolling through the Seahawks, Rams, 49ers and Cardinals' chances of success in the 2026 NFL season. The Seahawks still have quite the roster following their Super Bowl victory in 2025 but do have some questions, namely Sam Darnold's capabilities without Kenneth Walker and the defensive potential wioth their attrition. The Rams are the offseason darlings with their trade acquisition of Myles Garrett while the 49ers can't shake the injury label. The Cardinals are fighting for a QB in 2027. Chris then heads to the AFC West and lauds the Chiefs for their start to training camp and quest to reach the NFL's summit once again. Can the Broncos reclaim the AFC West title for a second year in a row? Is Mike McDaniel the key to overcoming Justin Herbert's playoff woes? And what should the Raiders make of Fernando Mendoza?
