Las Vegas Raiders. 9. team. 28. . 5-2.

The Eagles might still be having nightmares about their first-ever game in Vegas.

Who knows how these teams are able to shake off some of these losses and move on to the next week as if nothing has happened. Maybe that’s why these guys are professional athletes because, for the rest of us, these losses are getting tougher and tougher to take.

Losing is bad enough, but the manner in which the Eagles lost in Week 7 is where the anguish and, quite frankly, where some of the pain comes from. They were off for ten days and put forth an effort that was downright inexcusable.

Give the Raiders credit though. They were the better team.

team. 56. . 5-2. . Cincinnati Bengals. 8

Who dey that thought the Bengals had no shot in the AFC North versus the mighty Ravens, Steelers, and Browns? Guess what boys and girls? Cincinnati is 5-2 overall, on top of their division, and two of their wins have come against Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

Joe Burrow is quietly making a case for the MVP Trophy, and Ja’Marr Chase so far has been the clear-cut favorite to be given the nod for the Offensive Rookie of the Year.
