I believe you need that to consistently travel with other teams who have it. Hope I am wrong.

I don’t think you can underestimate the impact of the injury to Daniel Jones. The team was 8-2 when he broke his leg.
Even after the injury, they didn’t fall apart. Compare that with Kansas City which, after Mahomes and Minshew went down, has managed a total of 272 total yards in 2 games, 133 vs the dreaded Titans and 139 against Denver.
As far as superstar talent is concerned, I think this team is bubbling with it. Jonathan Taylor is the best RB in the league. Pierce is the best deep threat in the league. Tyler Warren is Tyler Warren. DeForest Buckner is an elite DT, the engine that drives the Defense. Laiatu Latu is 11th in the league in sacks, 13th in pressures. Gardner and Ward are elite Corners.
