Dallas hosts Tennessee tonight. The Cowboys need to win to move to 4-4, tying the Eagles and setting up a big game Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field. Tennessee is 3-5 and needs a win desperately. Otherwise, here the week in review, with a look ahead...
49ers over Raiders-
Jon Gruden has a mess in Oakland. He is stockpiling No. 1 draft picks. But will they bear fruit before the Raiders move to Vegas? The Niners are playing for next season already.
Bears over Bills-
How bad is Buffalo? Chicago is a surprising 5-3, tied atop of NFC North with Minnesota. The Bears go home to face Detriot and Minnesota the next two weeks. The Bills hit the road to face the Jets.
Chiefs over Browns-
Had to figure that Cleveland would lay an egg this week against a powerful Kansas City team, especially after the browns fired their head coach ( which was long over-due). KC plays hapless Arizona at Arrowhead Stadium this week before heading to Mexico City to meet the Rams. Cleveland stays home to face the suddenly- hot Falcons.
Dolphins over Jets-
Played in a Miami quagmire, the Dolphins got the victory as Jet rookie quarterback Sam Darnold continues to struggle. Miami heads north to play in cold Green Bay next week.
Vikings over Lions-
Detroit is a phony, along with their new head coach. Minnesota is tough to beat at home, and their convincingwin ties them for 1st place in NFC North. Mnnesota has a bye this weekend as they prepare for a huge game at Chicago next week, while the Lions play in Soldier Field this week.
Falcons over Redskins-
Washington had a chance to make a statement and go two games up in NFC East. Instead they lose a home game to Atlanta. The Falcons have now won three in a row and try to hang in there in NFC South with New Orleans and Carolina. Atlanta plays in Cleveland this week while the Skins go to Tampa.
Panthers over Buccaneers-
Carolina continues to roll, outlasting an inconsistent Tampa Bay team. The Panthers have a short week on the road- never a good thing- when they meet the Steelers in Pittsburgh this Thursday night. Tampa Bay plays host to Washington.
Steelers over Ravens-
Pittsburgh got their revenge against arch-rival Baltimore in a key AFC North game. Pittsburgh plays on Thursday night vs hot Carolina at home. Baltimore tries to keep its head above water next week at home vs Cincinnati. They have a bye this weekend.
Texans over Broncos-
No stopping Houston, which has a firm grip on the lead in AFC South while Denver struggles at home. Houston has a bye this week before traveling to Washington next week. Denver also takes their bye.
Chargers over Seahawks-
LA proves they are for real with a big win in tough Seattle. The Seahawks had a chance to gain ground on the losing Rams but failed to do so. The chargers go to Oakland this week while Seattle go to Los Angeles to face an angry Rams club.
Patriots over Packers-
Tom Brady outduels Aaron Rodgers. New England is now 7-2 and hopes to gain home field advantage once more. Green Bay hosts Miami this weekend.
