1 Patriots 1 - 1/2 It's almost not fair at this point. Buffalo entered Sunday's bout with the Patriots as a 5-4 team, labeled as one of the hottest squads in the entire league. They left their home field in ruins, just another team on what's been a ridiculous Patriots victory tour through the country. Where do you want to start? Tom Brady? He went 31-39 for 373 yards and five touchdowns. Randy Moss? Ten catches, 128 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Wes Welker? Seven catches and 78 yards — quietly. What about the record books? The Patriots are now on pace to obliterate the 1998 Vikings single-season scoring record by 100 points, Brady's on pace to throw ten more touchdown passes than Peyton Manning's single-season record of 49 and Randy Moss is just seven touchdowns shy of breaking Jerry Rice's single-season receiving touchdown record. In short? We've never seen anything like the 2007 Patriots. The '72 Dolphins may want to check the return policy on that champagne.

2 Cowboys 2 - 2/12 Talk about Randy Moss all you want, Terrell Owens is having a fairly decent year, himself. T.O. caught eight balls for 173 yards and hauled in four touchdowns in Sunday's 28-23 Dallas win over the Redskins. Owens' TD catches were of 4, 31, 46 and 52 yards. Dallas improved to 9-1 for the first time since 1983 and won their fourth straight game. Owens has had at least 100 receiving yards and a touchdown in each of the victories. Dallas takes on the 2-8 Jets on Thanksgiving before facing 9-1 Green Bay the following Thursday. The winner of that monster could be looking at home-field throughout the NFC playoffs.

3 Packers 4 (+1) 3/22 The Packers improved to 9-1 with a dominant performance on both sides of the ball against the Carolina Panthers. Brett Favre was fabulous yet again, going 22-30 for 218 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Ryan Grant — a former practice player for the Giants — has filled in admirably at running back, rushing for 88 yards on 20 carries. The Packers won eight games last year and were considered one of the pleasant surprises of the '06 season. They've got nine already this year. Nobody — I mean, nobody — saw this coming.

4 Colts 3 (-1) 1/4 Banged up and thin on the depth chart, the Colts rallied to get their first win in three weeks, topping the Chiefs 13-10 in a weird one. Adam Vinatieri missed his first two field goal attempts, making it four consecutive misses stretching back to Week 10. He recovered in time to hit two more field goals later in the game, one of them serving as the game-winner with just twp seconds remaining. Peyton Manning and Joseph Addai carried the load on offense, and the defense kept the K.C. running game in tact. At 8-2, Indianapolis maintains a one-game lead over the Jaguars in the AFC South. The Colts take on the Falcons this weekend.

5 Steelers 5 - 3/14 Though Giants Stadium was littered with Terrible Towels and thousands of Steelers fans, Pittsburgh fell to the lowly Jets on Sunday afternoon. Thomas Jones became the first person in 35 games to run for over 100 yards on the Steelers, while the Jets sacked Ben Roethlisberger seven times. Willie Parker — a sure-fire Pro Bowler this season — ran for only 52 yards on 21 carries in the loss. Pittsburgh falls to 7-3, but should bounce back this weekend. They take on the winless Dolphins in the first ever "Joey Porter Bowl" on Sunday.
