Patriots back on top after their second bye period. We'll see what they got against the Eagles. The offensive line needs to get better.
Can't give the Ravens too much credit for their win against the Bengals, but their offense and momentum is undeniable. I was tempted to drop the 49ers a little more, but they still had that long streak. However, the offense was exposed and they've had a ton of injuries that'll effect them negatively.
What the hell was that with the Saints? I'll give them a pass as far as my thoughts for who's the best in the NFC, but you can't lose like that, rival or not. Wasn't enough to have the Seahawks ranked above the other four on the hard list, but I think the tiers have been blurred to where they're in the top group.
The Packers have issues on defense (it looked like it was gonna be the main force in the early part of the season), but managed to hang on. Still needs more production from the receivers. At least Jones is doing work. I felt the Cowboys were the better team, but we're here. As long as Cook's healthy, they'll always be wanting to run. Thielen being gone hurts.
Texans will have a huge game to establish themselves as a potential heavyweight this week. Chiefs might have had their best stretch already in the early part of the season. The defense is just awful. At 6-4, they might be out the race for a bye, especially if the Ravens win again. The Cowboys are held back by the coaching and some defensive hiccups. Too bad, because Prescott is balling out.
