Stomping The Competition

Tom Brady has been the better quarterback on the field in each game during New England's undefeated start - just like when he led the Patriots to a victory over Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX.

Brady and the Patriots look to improve to 11-0 when they meet the Eagles on Sunday for the first time since that Super Bowl, but he may not have the chance to beat McNabb again.

Still Thinking Playoffs

The Arizona Cardinals are looking to win three games in a row for the first time in five years. The San Francisco 49ers would be happy winning just one at this point.

The two NFC West teams heading in opposite directions meet for the second and final time this season Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Tumbling Again

The San Diego Chargers are at the top of the AFC West where they were expected to be, even though their season was not supposed to look anything like this.

The Chargers try to avoid falling out of a tie for the division lead on Sunday when they host the stumbling Baltimore Ravens.

Moving Closer

With their defense again playing like one of the best in the league, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have seized control of the weak NFC South.

The Buccaneers look to win their third straight game and move closer to their second division title in three years when they host the struggling Washington Redskins on Sunday.

NFC South Showdown

As disappointed as the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers are to have losing records 10 games into the season, both are very much in the playoff chase.

Two 4-6 NFC South rivals square off Sunday when the Saints visit the Panthers in a game between teams hanging around in the division race despite their recent struggles.
