Ten new coaches and no Patrick Mahomes — for the foreseeable future, at least — makes the 2026/27 NFL season feel like a step into the unknown... yet there's a distinct 2010s flavor to Aaron Donald's Rams comeback and Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the Giants. Is all this timeline-hopping weirdness a sign of things to come?
There's certainly an air of high strangeness around Cam Skattebo. After having his rookie season cut short by a dislocated ankle, he announced his recovery by crash-landing a backflip and spending practice goading much bigger guys, something that drew an all-time great line from new Giants coach John Harbaugh, who called Skattebo: "Infectious in a bad way. Like an infectious disease type of thing. You don't want that."
No.1 overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza has had a strangely hostile introduction to life in the NFL, with new coach Klint Kubiak making it abundantly clear that a diminished Kirk Cousins is above him in the pecking order.
The Rams are one of only two teams in the history of the NFL to win the Super Bowl on home turf, but with the big game set to take place at SoFi Stadium and Sean McVay's men shaping up as the favorites to succeed the Seahawks, we wouldn't rule out a repeat.
