It’s the toughest time of the year for the NFL, with coaching changes and quarterback issues erupting across the league. However, if you look around, it is also a pleasant time for some people.
The Lions have faced every obstacle imaginable and continue to be the toast of the NFC and continue to unfold their incredible story.
The coach has won three straight and holds a 7-2 lead over precocious offensive rookie of the year candidate Jaden Daniels. The franchise has won more than seven games just four times in the past 15 years.
The Bengals and Rams, who were members of the Super Bowl in February 2013, overcame a difficult start and returned to their respective races.
The Chargers are relevant and well-coached.
And on a rainy Monday night in the Classic, Patrick Mahomes added another chapter to his legend. After sustaining an ankle injury on the game-winning touchdown pass, he led the first drive in regulation and then the game-winning drive in overtime to maintain his record. Chiefs undefeated.
Times may be tough in places like Dallas, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and suddenly Chicago. But even in a season with interesting twists and turns, the level of intrigue remains high.
While there weren’t any major changes in the rankings this week, there were notable moves in the NFC North and NFC West, arguably two of the most attractive divisions right now.
