Some takeaways this week:
1. The best offenses in the league belong to Green Bay and New England. No matter the defense, these two teams are posting college-level numbers.
2. Could the winner of the NFC South have a losing record? It's beginning to look that way. The Saints winning streak is over and they looked as bad as they did at the beginning of the season.
3. Tweak the Bears, they get angry. They generated more offense this week than any game but one, Matt Forte had a 100+ yard game for the first time in weeks, and they mixed rush and pass very effectively.
Top Ten [Last week's position]
1. ARIZONA CARDINALS (9-1) [1] : The Cardinals didn't look great, but their defense controlled Detroit
2. New England Patriots (8-2) [2] : Best offense in the AFC
3. Green Bay Packers (7-3) [6] : Best offense in the NFC
4. Denver Broncos (7-3) [3] : The Rams caused flashbacks of the Super Bowl
5. Kansas City Chiefs (7-3) [7] : Quietly becoming a force in the league
6. Baltimore Ravens (6-4) [9] : Good week for a bye
7. Philadelphia Eagles (7-3) [4] : Spanked but good by the Pack
8. Dallas Cowboys (7-3) [10] : Also benefits from a bye
9. Indianapolis Colts (6-4) [5] : Stomped by New England
10. Detroit Lions (6-4) [8] : Their defense toughened after early scores by Arizona, but the Cards defense proved too much for Stafford and company
Divisional rankings [Last week's position]
1. AFC North [1] : Great wins by Cincy and Pitt
2. AFC West [2] : Despite Oakland, the other teams have winning records
3. NFC West [2] : Arizona continues to control, and this may be the first division title to be clinched
4. NFC North [5] : The Pack are rising fast and the Bears pulled out of their slump
5. AFC East [4] : Wins by the Pats and Dolphins were impressive
6. NFC East [5] : All of the teams who played lost. This division is losing steam
7. AFC South [7] The Texans evened their record, but the Colts were smashed
8. NFC South [8] : Definitely the worst division in the league
