I don’t think the 3-1 Steelers are very good.

The Jags aren't a bad team at all, in fact they have a higher point differential than the Eagles or Bucs. It's just aren't we all used to week five being the fugazi portion of the season? Not that nothing matters at this point, but in 10 weeks we'll just know way more, more injuries will occur etc...Right now what can be said is we don't seem to have any truly great teams out there, everyone has at least one critical issue that leaves them exposed. But like I said this is the fun time to dream of a Danny Dimes-Mac Jones Super Bowl before we end up with Mahomes-Hurts again.

I give the Jaguars a lot of credit for overcoming some tough calls to win the game. Chiefs were sloppy and gave them some openings and they took advantage of it.

Teams who play clean football, don't turn the ball over habitually, stay somewhat healthy and look to be organized tend to make the playoffs. Every year half the teams in the league are unable to do these, or get crushed by injuries.

I doubt its a Colts and Jags AFC Title game...but who thought the Falcons from the 98 season would get there...strange things can happen.

Yes I'm sure quite a few. Their defense has been solid forcing 14 turnovers. The next closest defense has forced 10 turnovers. Also the offense is putting up over 25 points/game so not really a lot of smoke and mirrors although turnovers are one of those things that can even out over the course of a season.

But it's the turnovers that are keeping them afloat, they are bottom 10 in yards allowed which is a more reliable indicator of a defense's quality. Chiefs averaged 7.6 yards a play and had nearly 500 yards of offense on Monday. But, as Syl mentioned, the Chiefs did not play clean and it cost them.

For sure, Josh Mcdaniels' 6-0 Denver broncos that finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Maybe the Eagles are the worst 4-1 team...Jaxson Dart is crushing them.

Dart and Skatebo are having a pretty good night here. Both teams pretty much moving the ball without much resistance.

Surely SCD respects the Giants calling a timeout when the Eagles were about to be hit with a delay of game penalty. Sneaky way to commit to the tank.

Skattebo is gonna be out of the league in four years with the worst CTE we've ever seen, but he's gonna be fun to watch until he is done.

Yeah if Skattebo gets a second contract Ill be surprised. He's like the runningback version of Daniel Bateman from The Replacements.

He will get his 15 minutes as a Giants media and fan favourite mascot similar to Devito.

The idea that the Giants, Jaguars, and Texans would beat the crqp out of the Eagles, Chiefs, and Ravens would get you laughed at in the summer.
