Cincinnati Bengals WIN BIG with Dexter Lawrence | Verdict Is Still Out On Patriots And A.J. Brown

Lamar Jackson’s injury status throws the AFC North playoff race into chaos. Will the Baltimore Ravens regain dominance with Jackson’s return, or can the surging Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals capitalize?

The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots got things on track in recent weeks as both are coming off a win, but neither team has had a perfect season. Now they will face off with not only team goals in mind, but a chance to see who is ahead in the race to be the top quarterback of the 2024 NFL Draft class. The Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints face off in Paris, France and while the game is key, the safety of the team will also be something there will be concern about. There are some massive divisional games this week like the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens, but without Lamar Jackson potentially, it could lose it's sauce. The Green Bay Packers face the Detroit Lions with the NFC North wide open. There are three teams still undefeated with the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, but who is most likely to lose this week? Tyler and Michelle do not agree!

The San Francisco 49ers moved to 6-0 on the season after their win on Monday Night Football and with the closest competitor at 3-3 in the NFC West, Brock Purdy's crew has somewhat shut the door on the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. In the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated off a bye and have a great shot to keep their momentum rolling. In the NFC North, the Minnesota Vikings come off a bye also still undefeated, but with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears surging, the Vikings lead isn't safe. Finally, in the AFC North, the surprise Cleveland Browns lead the division, but with everyone sitting with only two losses, the lead is far from safe.

San Francisco 49ers rise to NFC dominance as Brock Purdy commands a battered offense toward a 6-0 record, drawing comparisons to the star-studded Los Angeles Rams.

The Indianapolis Colts fired their general manager Chris Ballard on Monday morning after an embarrassing loss to the Tennessee Titans and it continues a complete freefall into crisis that the Colts have been on since midseason last year. Jalen Hurts was declared out for the season with a scary blood clot issue, but even scarier was the handling of Hurts by the Philadelphia Eagles who appeared to be negligent with their franchise quarterback. The Los Angeles Rams were Super Bowl favorites, but with a 2-4 start and a slew of injuries including Davante Adams, their championship dreams are rolling the credits. Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have disappointed in a winnable division which could prompt big change while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are sure to fire Todd Bowles soon after their embarrassing collapse against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers still haven't won a game and Mike McDaniel could get the axe soon. The Titans got their first win of the year, but the struggles of Cam Ward at quarterback will continue to have alarm bells ringing for the wrong reasons in Tennessee.
