Comments:
The final two 0-fer teams finally get a win. I have to say, I'm surprised that the Jaguars beat the Buccaneers to it, even of only by a day.
That was a pretty impressive win by the Saints. I didn't think the Cowboys would give them any trouble, but I wasn't expecting to see such a dominating performance, either.
If you had the Packers penciled in to win the NFC North, it's probably time to get your erasers out. By standings, they're still just a game out of first place. But the Lions have a really easy remaining schedule, and unless the Packers can win out (which right now seems really unlikely), the Lions probably have a lock on the division.
Thanks to a 5 game winning streak, the Panthers are now in solid contention for one of the wildcard spots, and only a game behind the Saints. With a dominating defense, and a pretty decent offense, the Panthers might be shaping up into that team nobody wants to face in the playoffs. Their spot in APR's top 5 is well earned.
