How about Chicago winning with an undrafted D2 quarterback? I know it's the Raiders, but still cool to see

Browns winning based on bullshit calls was highway robbery. Like I said last week, it's hard to enjoy the game at times. Thankfully I don't invest in it emotionally too much. I think it would be INSANE to bet money on games when refereeing is this bad.

Mac Jones, we know he can play, so that stretch of REALLY bad games were shocking to see. But the Bills are kind of in la-la-land, with their only plays being "Send it to Diggs for a miracle catch" or "Allen does some insane backyard football play". Otherwise they get burned. Giants last week (but stole the win due to awful officiating at the end), Patriots this week!

Ravens made a statement win, something Harbaugh said they'd do at halftime instead of letting up, which has burned them many times over the past 3 years. We've seen them play just as good in the first 1/2 or 3/4 of games, but until today they just did bonehead plays to give the game away.

This time they gave up a fumble late in the half when they were up 28-0. Maybe 2 weeks ago, the Lions score on that fumble, and then score again after the half to make it 28-14 with all the momentum. Not this time though, thank god. They didn't get the ball on offense until like 30 minutes in real time after that, but then got right back to it.

Lions aren't a mirage, they are good. Mostly play bad teams, so will have an incredible record this season. Fans might be nervous that the only good teams they played (Chiefs, Seahawks, Ravens) were 2 losses and kind of a fluky win. Goff still gets flustered when under pressure, especially if he's not sure if it's coming.

Ravens record IS a mirage, and aside from DUMB mistakes in 2 games, they should be undefeated still. Normally it wouldn't matter, but somehow the fucking Steelers are winning, and the Browns are stealing games. Bengals had one good game, and then went back to sucking against Seattle but still won somehow. Broken division.

Seahawks are a sloppy team, but keep winning somehow. Extremely boring team to watch.

Dolphins finally play another good team, and the Eagles figured that if you keep 2 safeties back and send a linebacker into the one read Tua makes, they can do a decent job of keeping Hill contained. He still breaks out for amazing plays, but still, 10 points on offense. Dolphins will be interesting to watch as they have to play games against teams other than the likes of the Giants and Panthers.
