Must read

Nine weeks down. Nine weeks left. Then the playoffs, culminating in Super Bowl LIX.

How is your team grading out so far in the 2024 NFL season? What are the biggest surprises and disappointments? What about the most important developments?

We’ve got you covered. It’s all right here. Welcome to Yahoo Sports’ NFL midseason 2024.


Buffalo? All’s well there. The other three teams? Not so great at the moment.

The Steelers earned the joint highest-grade we gave out. The same can’t be said of one of their bitter rivals.

Arguably the division of disappointment in the NFL, with the Texans looking good and everyone else not grading out very well.

The Chiefs are 8-0, so they earn top marks. But there have been a couple of pleasant surprises here as well.

The feel-good story of the year in the NFL might be the Commanders. It’s certainly not what’s going on in Dallas and New York.

The most competitive division in the NFL is headlined by the powerhouse Lions and the surprise Vikings.

One of the Fs we gave out was in this division, and the team who received it won’t like where the best grade went either.

The expected head of the class only got a C, and there’s a surprise team leading the way.


Which quarterbacks were the biggest winners of the NFL trade deadline? Who was the QB MVP? What about biggest surprise? And how do we forecast the remainder of the season?

Find it all out here with a special edition of Charles Robinson’s weekly column.


Jayden Daniels’ rise and the Commanders’ instant prowess have helped deliver two of the five best games so far this NFL season.

What about the key games to circle over the coming weeks? We have you covered.
