Comments:

  • The Bears sure looked unimpressive in their win over the Lions. +4 on turnovers, and they barely managed 13 points? Wow.

  • Is that it for the Lions' season? 4 losses with 10 games left to play is a pretty deep hole to be in, Even a relatively strong 7-3 finish would leave them at 9-7, and likely out of the playoffs.

  • The Ravens' defense is really bad. And their offense is in no shape to take up the slack. And their road woes continue; that 9-6 victory over the Chiefs is their only win outside of Baltimore this season.

  • Possibly excepting the Texans, the whole AFC seems amazingly weak right now. The Ravens' just suffered one of the worst losses in franchise history, the Patriots are the only other team over .500 (thanks to a less-than-impressive overtime win over the offensively-challenged Jets).

  • Looking at the the AFC teams at or below .500... Peyton Manning probably makes the Broncos better than their 3-3 record. And, thanks to their best defensive performance of the season, the Steelers looked better than their 2-3 record Sunday night.

  • The Packers are now 3-1 in their last 4, and it looks like their offense is finally back on track. Even without Charles Woodson, they should have a good shot at 6-3 going into their bye. But with the Bears at 5-1 and the Vikings at 5-2, they could very easily still be 3rd in the NFC North into December.
