22 October 2010
Week six brought us plenty of offensive firepower, especially in the AFC South, where a combined 95 points were scored and three teams now occupy the top spot in the division.

8 October 2010
The first quarter of the season is complete and surprisingly enough, the Chiefs are the league’s only team still standing with an unblemished record. That runs counter to what we’ve seen in years past, but it definitely bodes well for the NFL as a whole, with parity ruling the day instead of a few juggernauts. [...]
