Comments:
The good news for the Lions is they didn't have any special teams disasters last week. The bad news is, a loss to the Bears would drop them to 2-4, with 2 losses in the division. As close to a must-win game as it gets in the first half of the season.
The last time the Jets won a regular season game in Foxboro, their quarterback was Brett Favre.
In the Giants' four wins, they've held their opponents at or under 84 yards rushing, and forced at least 2 turnovers per game. In their two losses, they've allowed at least 143 yards rushing, and only forced one turnover total. This could be a problem this week, as the Redskins have rushed for at least 129 yards in every game this season, and mostly haven't turned the ball over.
The Ravens didn't look particularly good in their win over the Cowboys. This week, facing a good Texans team smarting over their prime-time loss to the Packers, they could be in for a tough beat-down.
The Cardinals' Kevin Kolb will reportedly miss at leat a couple games with a rib injury. Assuming John Skelton starts this week, he's going to have to do a lot better than he did at the end of last week's game. The Cardinals' 3rd QB is rookie Ryan Lindley, who appeared to be at least servicable in preseason. He might be seeing his first regular season action this Sunday.
The Steelers will be without Troy Polamalu again this Sunday. If the Bengals are going to content for a playoff spot again this year, this is a game they need to win.
