What happened: Up-front play drew concern around the Broncos, Packers and Eagles, while the Jets, Raiders and Cards were cited as positive surprises. Denver's latest result was a 31-10 final against Kansas City, with Harrison Butker scoring 7 points and Wil Lutz adding 4.

Why it matters: For Denver, that line-play critique lands on the heels of a lopsided final and adds another early-season question around how the team is holding up at the point of attack. The split list also puts the Jets and Raiders on the other side of the conversation as teams seen as controlling games better up front.

By the numbers: Kansas City's high scorer was Harrison Butker with 7 points, while Denver got 4 from Wil Lutz in the 31-10 final.

What to watch: The next read comes from whether Denver looks steadier up front in its next outing after the loss. Green Bay and Philadelphia will draw similar attention after landing in the concern group.
