How about those Patriots? Hard to figure out where they'll lose a game the rest of the way, @Jets week 15? Maybe if the Broncos get their offense together, Giants in New York in a couple weeks.

Steelers/Bengals should have been game of the week but Ben returning from the longest lay off of his career, both lines banged up, I don't know, could be a fun shoot out though, AJ Green for 200+.

Brady and his 4-6 yard throws is killing it. The YAC for the Pats must be quite high, most of the passes I've seen from Brady seem like short plays.

From a Raiders perspective I'm really interested in how we back up a great performance in SD.

For the first time in a loooong time we've been in the discussion in the race for a wildcard spot... So there's some expectation starting to build.

The Jets are probably a bridge too far for us IMO... That defence is elite... And I don't think coop is going to have the opportunities that he had in SD.

I'm interested to see how Carr responds this week if Revis and Cromartie take away Coop & Crabtree... He's going to have to find other options... And he's no doubt going to be under duress by that monster DLine.

Stafford has had his confidence systematically stripped from him

I'm his biggest fan, & it hurts watching him play like this

It was a bit easy for the Steelers. Let's see how The Bengals respond.

Elite quarterbacks make everything look easy. Pretty sure we had more first downs that drive than we got with Vick in all the time he played

Dalton's good, but doesn't really have the runs on the board to be considered elite yet. If he continues to play at the high level he has been this year he'll get there eventually

Well that was more Bengal like this season. Steelers 3 n out and a nice return setting up a short field.

The Bengals have such great depth on the def line and use that rotation so well that it will only get harder for Ben as the match goes on.

If they had sent Bryant or brown deep instead of heyward bey there's a good chance that pass is caught.

Bengals don't take advantage of the short field and have to settle for field goal.

Our defensive backs are junk, but we have some good young linebackers and linemen who can get the job done

Archer is going to have to start taking knees if he's going to keep getting drilled before the 20

Well tough luck for Ben. This isn't the match to come back against if your knee isn't up to it. He was always going to take some hits.
