Mark Craig's Week 9 NFL power rankings

They forced four turnovers from reigning MVP Lamar Jackson. At least someone is still playing big-time defense in this league.

How do you make a suspect defense feel better about itself? Play the J-E-T-S!

Lamar Jackson is good. In the AFC North, he needs to be better.

D.K. Metcalf is becoming the rare scouting combine superstar who also can play football really well.

Colleges should start making offers right now just in case there's ever an Antoine Winfield III.

Kyler plays host to Tua in an intriguing first meeting on Sunday. Remember when height was a thing at quarterback?

Of course, lack of height never stopped Drew Brees. Apparently, a lack of star power at receiver isn't slowing him down either.

So much for Cleveland's inclement weather and wind favoring Ground Stefanski. Raiders maul Browns with 208 yards rushing.

The Packers spent all week saying the Vikings' record didn't matter. They told everyone … but themselves.

Sunday's win over the Lions was vintage Colts. They were bad. Then they were good.

They had 145 yards, eight first downs and a nine-point win over the Rams. Is Tua a QB or a Sean McVay voodoo doll?

For those who love passing numbers, Jared Goff threw for 355 yards. And three interceptions. And lost.

Tennessee's defense ranks last in third down conversions allowed (61.9%) after Bengals convert 10 of 15 in upset win.

Blah, blah, blah. The Bears' offense is terrible. Blah, blah, blah.

Kevin Stefanski heads into his first bye week having scored 187 points in five victories … and 19 points in three losses.

Don't look now, but the NFC East has its first winning streak!

Zac Taylor (4-19-1) matches last year's win total. The other teams to do that this year: Arizona and Detroit.

Interim coach Raheem Morris takes a 2-1 record back home to face Denver.

Is it too late to change the prediction that Matt Patricia would head to Minnesota riding a three-game winning streak?

Team MVP: Anyone who can put Dalvin Cook back together between 32-touch games.

Teddy Bridgewater is one resilient dude. But how about no more cheap shots on him, eh?

Sunday's loss to former sparring partner Buffalo was like watching an old Muhammad Ali getting beat up by Larry Holmes.

Giants at Washington on Sundazzzzzzzzzzz.

Texans at Jacksonville on Sundazzzzzzzzzzz.

The Giants have had three head coaches the past four years. Their records through eight games: 1-7, 2-6, 1-7, 1-7.

Can Jacksonville continue its streak of six losses while allowing 30 or more points? Stay tuned. Or not.

Ninety million bucks and he hasn't reached 100 yards in eight games. Call it the Ezekiel Diet.
