Three observations ... Jaguars rookie Justin Blackmon, drafted No. 7 overall, shows no explosion. He's caught only 23 of 54 passes thrown to him.
Tennessee's Chris Johnson is tough to figure. He had fewer than 26 yards in four of his first five games. Now, he's had 90 or more in four consecutive.
With Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed growing old, San Francisco's Dashon Goldson looks like the NFL's next great safety.
Two bold predictions ... The Panthers will cool Ron Rivera's coaching hot seat a little more when they beat the Broncos for a second victory in a row.
The Cowboys have three consecutive home games after Sunday's game at Philly. But they'll be 3-6 after losing Sunday's Overrated Bowl.
