If you’re ranking the top 10 teams in the NFL after week # 6 I’d have to put 3 teams from the NFC North and the 4th team (Detroit Lions) are not too far behind. All 4 teams currently sit in playoff spots.

Majority QB’s need a solid run game, there are a few exceptions but one glaring example is how Sam Darnald performed last year with Kenny Walker 99.1 rating, this year without 77.4. Patrick Mahommes last years rating 89.6 without a good running game this season with Walker 106.2.

The Cardinals have struggled with and without Kyler Murray. Losing Kyler has nothing to do with their record since.
Jacoby Brissett last 17 games since taking over.
447/684 (65.4%)
4,476 pass yards
32 TD
13 INT
~91-92 rating
+230 rush yards, 2 rush TD
55 sacks
4 fumbles lost
The Cardinals now have a 17-game sample after replacing Kyler Murray with Jacoby Brissett.
They are 2-15 with a point-differential of minus-194.

I don’t get the fascination with QB Justin Herbert. What has he ever won? Is he fully committed to football? He himself has said, he is looking forward to his post playing days.
While other have debated whether Justin Herbert should be traded, the Chargers have not.

Vikings have extended their win streak to 10 games after yesterday’s win over the Saints. The change in philosophy of switching to a more of a run conservative team combined with the dominate defense has carried this team. Averaging 30.4 carries and 25.7 passes during the streak.

Kyler Murray took another step forward and has shown consistent improvement each game. He did overthrow the two missed touchdown opportunities but he is improving. He also dropped his season average time to throw from 3.2 seconds down to 2.97 which should lead to less sacks taken
