'From No.1 pick to bench in 18 games - can Young come back from this?'Phoebe Schecter BBC Sports columnist and former Buffalo Bills coach

Former Buffalo Bills assistant coach Phoebe Schecter is an NFL pundit and plays for Great Britain's flag football team.

We're just two weeks into the new NFL season and one quarterback has already been benched. Just over a year after being selected with the first pick of the 2023 draft, Bryce Young has been replaced as the Carolina Panthersâ€TM starter by veteran Andy Dalton.

As Tom Brady has said,, external , external it's a "tragedy" really, how rookie quarterbacks are handled, that so often they're forced to play right at the start of their NFL career and don't get time to learn and develop.

Being the NFL's number one draft pick comes with a lot of pressure. You become the face of that franchise, that city, and there's really no escaping it{/p/p} Keep up to date with the latest NFL scores and fixtures here .

Baltimore RavensBBC Sport

The best team in the regular season by some distance were denied a Super Bowl spot by a tough home loss to the Chiefs. They added dominant running back Derrick Henry to their MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson to try to go one better.

Player to watch: Lamar Jackson

A two-time MVP and a one-man highlight reel - the Ravens will be challengers as long as he stays fit, as injuries have derailed their season before.

Dallas CowboysBBC Sport

Top scorers in the NFL and a third straight 12-win season counted for nothing as Dallas crashed and burned in the play-offs yet again â€" meaning it is just five post-season games won since their last Super Bowl success in 1996. Head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Dak Prescott are in the last-chance saloon this season but still have a team loaded with talent.

Player to watch: Micah Parsons

Not many defensive players can run games, but Parsons is a freak athlete with freakish footballing ability â€" he dominates games from wherever he lines up.
