Thirty meetings deep and Joel still holds the edge — 18-12 lifetime — but Riley's division games have a way of feeling different, and Week 2 of the league's 20th season is exactly the kind of stage where Laddo McSuave decides to get loud. Joel's riding a 2-game winning streak in this series, which sounds comfortable until you remember that 2021 opener: a 1.02-point loss that could've gone either way on a single kicker. This one's a division game, so there are no moral victories and no soft landings — just a very early signal about who's actually built for 2026.
