Comments:
The Falcons and Bears sure looked like the class of the NFC on Sunday. Though given the Bears losses to the Seahawks and Redskins, I have to wonder how consistently they can play at that level.
The Packers loss doesn't cost them much power, and thanks to the Eagles' fall making a spot for the Falcons, it doesn't cost them rank position either.
The top-ranked AFC teams have another unimpressive week, with the Patriots and Jets struggling against bad teams early, and the Steelers needing overtime to beat the Bills.
Because the Colts now have 5 losses, their streak of 12+ win seasons ends at 7 (2003-2009). But they have a pretty soft schedule to finish the season, and could easily get to 10 wins (which would extend their now 8-season streak of 10+ win seasons).
Every team in the NFC West now has a losing record, and all are ranked in the bottom 10. Although if the Rams can beat the Cardinals next week, both are likely to change.
Are the Cardinals the worst team in the NFL right now? After making the 49ers look like world-beaters on MNF, it's hard to argue otherwise.
