Comments:
The League has to be relieved that the Steelers managed to pull out a win on Sunday. The last thing they need is another game decided on bad calls by the referees.
Eli Manning and the Giants' passing game has been taking a lot of heat after their loss to the Steelers on Sunday. But Manning's passing numbers are only off a little bit from last year.
The Falcons post yet another close win over a lesser opponent. The 8-0 record is impressive, but if I were a Falcons fan, I'd want to see them with more 2-score leads late in the 4th quarter.
The Bears scored 50+ points for the first time since 1980 (they did make it to 48 a few times in that period, most recently 3 years ago).
The Colts have clawed their way to a winning record. And, with some relatively easy games left on their schedule, they could actually make it to 9 wins.
