The Eagles are now leading the NFC East with a 3-6-1 record. The latest standings show that the other three teams are 3-7,so they are all in the hunt! One of those sorry-ass teams will be in the playoffs.
The Steelers moved to 10-0 with the Chiefs right on their tail at 9-1. The Jets moved to 0-10.

In college play, only two of the top five teams played. Clemson and A&M were postponed, while Notre Dame had the week off.
In individual achievements, Jaret Patterson of Buffalo rushed for 301 yards and 4 TDs against Bowling Green. Shockingly, records against Bowling Green still count.
Cheated like the Astros they did.
Since I really like symmetry and parallelism, it’s unfortunate it’s the New York Jets at 0-10 and not the New York Giants.
Many people even not baseball fans are likely aware of the cries of incredulity from the announcer as the New York Giants came from something like 16 games behind to nab top spot from the Brooklyn Dodgers with “The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!”
There could have been similar cries of incredulity from an announcer this season in the NFL with “The Giants win a game! The Giants win a game!”
It could still be “The Giants win the division!”
Only God and Browning know how, but that is still possible.
(The reference: according to legend, when Robert Browning was asked to explicate a particularly opaque poem entitled “Sordello,” he thought for a moment and replied, “When I wrote that, only God and Browning knew what it meant, and now it is He alone.”)
