The aforementioned Bengals are 5-3-1, while the Baltimore Ravens are 5-4. The Pittsburgh Steelers are also tied for the division with a 6-3 record. They're one of the big surprises of the season and have a less taxing schedule than the rest of the division. In fact, the Browns are 6-3, tied for the division lead after dominating the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. All four teams are in a good position going forward, including the Cleveland Browns. This division is possibly the most exciting in football. Kansas City has a tough game against the Buffalo Bills, and the Chargers are on a bye week. They're likely to be 0-9, as the aforementioned Broncos will travel to Oakland in Week 10. The Oakland Raiders hardly warrant a mention at 0-8 on the year. Denver doesn't have a stranglehold on the division, however, as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers are right behind at 5-3 and 5-4, respectively. Peyton Manning has led them to a 6-2 record, with a perfect 5-0 record at home. Carolina has a game against Philadelphia, while the Buccaneers and Falcons will play each other Sunday.Īs expected, the Denver Broncos are on top in the AFC West. The Atlanta Falcons are 2-6 with no relief in sight and that goes double for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1-7. Carolina's defense was among the best in the league a season ago but they've been downright bad this year. Their primary competition was supposed to be the Carolina Panthers, who sit at 3-5-1. The New Orleans Saints are in first, which was expected, but they're also 4-4 with a game against the 49ers Sunday. This division is kind of a mess at this point. Washington has a bye week, while the Giants face the tough Seahawks Sunday. Washington doesn't look any better at 3-6. The New York Giants are 3-5 on the season and look like a mess. They've got a tough game against the Carolina Panthers Monday, while the Cowboys will be taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Philadelphia is 6-2, but trending downwards with Mark Sanchez starting Sunday. Now he has Dallas at 6-3 on the season, just behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East.
Head coach Jason Garrett was gone, at least according to everybody who had an opinion on the matter coming into this past offseason. The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most surprising teams of the season. They'll have a week to try and figure it out as they've got a bye for Week 10. The Minnesota Vikings are 4-5 and still struggling to find an offensive identity. Things are plenty interesting coming into Week 10 as the Packers will take on the 3-5 Chicago Bears with a chance to tie the division lead, given that Detroit has a tough game against the Miami Dolphins on the schedule. That said, the Detroit Lions currently have the lead with a 6-2 record, while the Green Bay Packers are in second at 5-3. The NFC North has been one of the more competitive divisions over the years and that's true again this year. Here's a look at how the rest of the divisions are shaping up heading into Week 10: NFC North It's still pretty likely that the NFC West has a couple different representatives in the playoffs, but Arizona has early sights set on a first-round bye. A lot can change, but it could just as easily stay the same. Those NFC West games in the second half of the season will be hugely important, but for now the division is firmly in the hands of the Cardinals. Seattle is 5-3 and 0-1 in the division, while the Rams are 3-5 and 2-1 in the division. The 49ers are 4-4 on the season, with a 1-2 mark in the division. The Detroit Lions will pose a challenge in Week 11, but the Cardinals primarily have to deal with two games against Seattle and a rematch with San Francisco in Week 17. The Cardinals, though, are coming off a dominant 28-17 victory over the strong Dallas Cowboys and have a firm grip on the NFC West lead.Īnd Arizona's remaining schedule doesn't look nearly as bad as San Francisco's or Seattle's. But 10 weeks into the regular season, the Rams are nowhere in sight, the 49ers are struggling and the Seahawks aren't faring much better. With the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl and the San Francisco 49ers coming up just short in the NFC Championship, it was even easier to forget about the team from Arizona.ĭuring the offseason, the NFC West was often described as a three team race - between the 49ers, Seahawks and St. It was easy to write off the Cardinals' late-season domination last year because they failed to make the playoffs and discussion died down quickly. © TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS.Nobody saw the Arizona Cardinals coming a season ago, and nobody predicted they'd be where they are today.
