Detroit seems to have remembered that they are the Lions

The Bears are expected to re-sign free agent QB Josh McCown if Jay Cutler (concussion) can't play in Week 11.

Apparently - we yet again had players not realizing games could end in ties.
Per PFT there were players on both teams that thought they were going to keep playing

Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole reports "it's a pretty strong bet" that the Eagles will "rest" Michael Vick (concussion) for the remainder of the season.
Packers placed RT Bryan Bulaga on injured reserve with a dislocated hip, ending his season.
Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) has been ruled out for Week 11.

This season is weird, we're over halfway through and I still can't figure out who the best team in the league is. Technically my Redskins could still win their division?! Technically, yes. Probably no. Next week, our teams will battle for the higher 2013 draft pick! I have no delusions that the Skins will do anything the rest of the season, but it seems like no one wants to win the NFC East. Anyways, the dumbass Redskins traded a ton of first round picks to get RGIII, so I guess that the Skins and Eagles will battle to see how high the Rams draft pick is.

Fred Jackson has officially been diagnosed with a concussion, and ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

Looking at the list of AFC playoff contenders and considering how atrocious the Patriots secondary is, there's not a team in the bunch that doesn't have me browning my shorts.
Unless the Patriots' defense improves substantially, this is going to be a rehashing of 2009. One and done.

While the Pats secondary is anything but great, outside of maybe Houston, none of those teams screams UNBEATABLE to me

Unless the Patriots' defense improves substantially, this is going to be a rehashing of 2009. One and done. Was that teams defense as good against the run though? It's a small consolation, but it could be the deciding factor against teams like Houston and San Francisco. Also, New England is still one of the best and most balanced offenses in the league. They aren't barely scraping by with Brady throwing it 50 times every game anymore.

While the Pats secondary is anything but great, outside of maybe Houston, none of those teams screams UNBEATABLE to me I'll go team-by-team: HOUSTON - If we're recreating "Rocky IV", I'm Adrian standing upstairs and Bill Belichick is Rocky Balboa at the bottom of the staircase, and I'm screaming, "You can't go with what you are! Have you read the papers? Do you know what everybody says? It's suicide...YOU CAN'T WIN!!!" BALTIMORE - Losing Ray Lewis hurts and Joe Flacco is still Joe Flacco, but the Ravens are a better overall team than the Patriots and Baltimore is the kind of team (elite defense, effective running game, can throw when necessary) that thrives in January and February. DENVER - I want no part of Peyton Manning against the Patriots' secondary, but I like my odds with Tom Brady against the grotesquely overrated Broncos defense. It's no coincidence that the Patriots have put up 41, 45 and 31 against that abysmal defense. PITTSBURGH - This is entirely dependent on which Steelers team shows up. The elite Steelers team that has gone to two Super Bowls in the past four seasons or the underachieving Steelers team that gives up a walk-off touchdown to Tim Tebow on the first play of overtime. I think I like my odds against either, but I'd much rather play the sloppy under-performing version. INDIANAPOLIS - Andrew Luck should be knighted for what he's doing with the Colts. I looked at their roster yesterday and I only recognized two names for their entire receiving and tight end depth, Reggie Wayne and Donnie Avery. However, the Colts pass defense is nearly as deplorable as the Patriots, so as long as Tom Brady can outgun Andrew Luck, the Patriots should win. EVERYONE ELSE - San Diego, Miami, Tennessee, Cincinnati, Buffalo, the Jets and Oakland...they all suck and suck terribly. The Patriots would eviscerate them and then crush their bones to make their bread.

Also, the Texans already got a shot against a bad pass defense against Green Bay, and they didn't do much with it. I don't think they're nearly as good passing as you're making them out to be.

Are the Pats playing the Colts in Foxborough or Indy? If it's the former, I'd expect a blowout win for New England. If the latter... it could get interesting.
It's interesting to note that the Saints gave a team both their first (and so far only) win in the Chiefs and another team their first (and so far only) loss in the Falcons.

Our defense has never been much to write home about, which is the main reason I don't see how they can be overrated, they're hardly ever rated in the first place, but this season they're kicking ass. Due in no small part to Del Rio - but this defense is for real. This year, anyway - we'll see what happens in the next couple years when we cut Del Rio loose and get back to square one like we like to do with DCs.

This is all true, the Bronco defense may actually be underrated this year. They're sixth in yards allowed and tenth in points allowed, while having some of the worst luck in recovering fumbles. They're not the best, but they're much better than they're given credit for. And Von Miller is something special.
