Comments:

  • The Bears are probably benefiting more than they should from their blow-out win over the hapless Jaguars. Still, 4 wins is more than a lot of the rest of the league can lay claim to.

  • Every team the Packers have played this season won this weekend, so they rise in power and rank, in spite of a very ugly loss to the lowly Colts.

  • What is the deal with the Ravens and road games at bad teams? 3 points over a pretty awful Chiefs squad is not impressive. At least they didn't lose.

  • The Saints are still on pace to break the 1981 Colts' record of 6793 yards allowed on defense. They need to average at least 425 yards per game, and have only been below that level once so far.

  • The Titans and Bills are on pace to break the 1981 Colts' record of 533 points allowed (and the Saints are close). An average of 34 points per game will break the record. The Titans held their opponent under 34 points for the first time on Sunday.
