It’s too early to say that Sunday’s slate of NFL action cleared up the playoff picture a whole heck of a lot. However, we did acquire an understanding of where some of the previously mediocre teams are following Sunday’s action.
In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins and St. Louis Rams laid complete eggs. All three are clearly on the outside looking in.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts all made pretty strong statements in the AFC.
To the joy of all football fans the world over, Sunday was capped off by a tremendous game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals — a game that had wide-ranging playoff implications.
