Week 10 finally saw all the forces of nature converge and hand the Eagles their first loss – at home to the Commanders, no less. The Bills lost their second in a row and now are tied for No. 2 in the AFC East. The Chiefs, for the moment, look like the newest “team to beat” in the AFC while the Vikings are on a seven-game winning streak and tied for the No. 1 spot in the NFC with the Eagles – who beat them back in Week 2.
While teams are tinkering with lineups much less overall, we’re entering the phase of the season that will see the bottom feeders switching around starters if only to show management that they are still trying to win and do not need to be fired during the season. One or two probably still will.
The Browns-Bills game is moved to Detroit at 1 p.m. Sunday because this new crop of players cannot handle six feet of snow like we all used to walk through to school. While it would decrease almost all fantasy points from the game, how great would that have been to watch? Maybe not fans in the stands, but at home it would have been a must-watch. Maybe tie those bicycle poles with the little flags at top onto each player.
