A season-opening loss highlighted the challenges of a full organizational rebuild. The team is carrying a significant amount of dead cap money, roughly $183 million, which is being absorbed this year. As a result, young players are being relied upon, with 10 starters in their first or second NFL season taking the field.

This led to a 27-13 loss, a somewhat expected outcome given the team's circumstances. The young secondary struggled against veteran quarterbacks. Further details about the game and the team's rebuild are available.
