Is this a changing of the guard in the NFL? New England has been dominant for over a decade, now they're starting to slide. After struggling last week against a lackluster Raiders team, the Patriots were steamrolled by a resurgent Chiefs group. Makes one wonder if Brady is nearing his end and preparing his induction speech for Canton. If that were to happen, what would happen to Bill Belichick? Did Brady make him? Or was it the other way around? We need not think too far into the past with John Elway and Mike Shanahan. After Elway's retirement, Shanahan never won another playoff game.
Dallas played like a team possessed Sunday night. Prognosticators said the Cowboys would have a pitiful defense this season, but they've proved just the opposite. They were swarming around Saints runners and receivers in Arlington, and the offense was smooth and sharp. My earlier statement about the 'Boys not winning 5 games may have been premature, seems like they may give the Iggles a run for their money in the division. Things are going to get very, very interesting in the NFC East, I believe.
Tampa Bay had an amazing rebound in the 2nd half of their game against the Steelers. The Bucs had troubles doing anything in the first half at Heinz Field, but made the needed adjustments and rallied to win with a Glennon-to-Jackson touchdown with 12-seconds left in the game. Seems like young Mr. Glennon is making a name for himself in comeback wins.
Where was the awesome Falcons team we've seen the first three weeks? They went to Minnesota and were shocked by rookie quarterback sensation Teddy Bridgewater. Are the Vikes for real? Can they win without Peterson in the backfield? We'll find out Thursday night when they travel to Green Bay to take on the red hot Packers.
