1 (1) Patriots 3-0-0 The Boston Globe reports that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is 1-for-8 in replay challenges since the start of last season. So, see, the Patriots do know what it's like to lose at something.
2 (2) Colts 3-0-0 During Tony Dungy's tenure as head coach, the Colts are 17-2 in September, including a 3-0 start this year. The Colts will go for their 12th straight September win when they host the Broncos on Sunday.
3 (3) Cowboys 3-0-0 Who knew the Oct. 14 matchup against the Patriots might be the Super Bowl preview? Facing the Rams and Bills (a Monday nighter) the next two weeks, the Cowboys should be 5-0 going into the game against New England.
4 (5) Steelers 3-0-0 The Steelers best be prepared to face some coaches with vendettas this week at Arizona. Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and assistant Russ Grimm were both up for the job that went to Mike Tomlin. Hard to argue with that decision.
5 (7) Ravens 2-1-0 Is Brian Billick's team fading in the fourth quarter? That's what the Balitmore Sun is asking. The Ravens have been outscored 35-16 in the fourth this year after outscoring opponents 105-55 in the fourth last season.
6 (12) Packers 3-0-0 Apparently, the Packers have taken over for the Saints as the feel-good story this season. The schedule actually sets up quite nicely the next few weeks. No reason to think the Pack can't be 6-0 going into the Monday nighter at Denver on Oct. 29.
7 (9) Seahawks 2-1-0 Have you signed Shaun Alexander's cast yet? If not, you'll have plenty of time to do so. The left wrist injury which Alexander is trying to protect probably won't heal anytime soon. It affects his ability to catch passes, but not his rushing (275 yards).
8 (
Broncos 2-1-0 Not used to seeing the Broncos' running game get shut down as it did against the Jaguars. The 47 yards rushing is the fourth lowest total since Mike Shanahan became the head coach in 1995.
9 (4) Chargers 1-2-0 Is it panic time in San Diego? Maybe so. LaDainian Tomlinson told the Union Tribune that if his Chargers lose three more games to fall to 1-5, then "it's over." But that shouldn't be a problem with home games against K.C. and Oakland the next three weeks.
10 (17) Jaguars 2-1-0 Hard to really know what to make of the Jags right now, other than they're four points away from starting the season 3-0. They'll come out of the bye week with four of their next six games on the road.
11 (15) Titans 2-1-0 Titans fans would love to see this team join the NFC South. After Monday's win at New Orleans, the Titans have won nine straight against NFC South teams. They can extend that streak with games versus Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Carolina later this season.
12 (16) Panthers 2-1-0 You knew the issue would arrive sooner or later. Maybe the time is now. Should David Carr be the starting quarterback ahead of Jake Delhomme? With Delhomme battling an injury problem, Carr may get the start Sunday against Tampa Bay.
