This week’s marquee NFL match-up takes place in the in Jersey as the New York Jets host their arch rivals, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, Those two are in a three-way tie with the Buffalo Bills for first place in the AFC East. Speaking of the Bills, they also have a big game Sunday in Dallas against a Cowboys team trying to find its groove. Other key games on Sunday, the Giants visit the 49ers in San Francisco, a battle of division leaders there. The Chicago Bears, fresh off the big win in Philly, will host the much-improved Detroit Lions, both chasing the undefeated Green Bay Packers, who play on Monday night. The Pittsburgh Steelers, accustomed to being the hunted, now trail the Cincinnatti Bengals and Baltimore in the AFC North. Can they gain ground in Cincy this weekend? Philadelphia is hosting Arizona, the Eagles are wounded, but don’t count ’em out just yet. The Washington Washington Football Team play the Dolphins in Miami Sunday, and dare I say a loss there would mean curtains for the Skins season. Some would argue that ship ahs already sailed.
