by Meatmen
Hey, there sports fans! Week 7 saw the demise of the final two undefeated teams and several division races have tightened up. Veteran receiver Paul Paul has packed his bags again this time for New York and the Jets. Paul has been on the move all season with stops in Miami, Carolina, Houston, and now New York. While the Texans are amassing draft picks to perhaps breathe some life back into the franchise in the coming seasons? Let’s see what this week hath wrought.
AFC WEST First Place Denver (5-2) took one on the chin from rival Kansas City (4-3) 23-10. Despite Eric Young's four interceptions the Chargers (3-4) managed to do themselves a solid to stay in the hunt with the victory over Minnesota. The Raiders (2-5) suffered another tough defeat at the hands of the Ravens 45-7. it's early, anything can happen in this division and usually does I'm not counting anyone out here.
AFC EASTBuffalo (4-3) seems to have found their groove from last year as they have won three in a row. Stomping the Texans 44-23. Jorge Bishop (22/33) threw for 433 yards and 4 touchdowns to lead the Bills offense and the defense complemented with an interception and four sacks. The Jets (3-4) topped the Falcons 17-3 and have won their second in a row making a major edition with Paul Paul joining the roster this week. They look like they could be making a move. The sliding Dolphins (2-5) have now lost three in a row to slip into a third-place tie with New England (2-5) who won this week over the Titans 29-13.
AFC NORTH Ravens (6-1) continue to roll on with a 45-7 romp over the Raiders they maintain a 1 game lead over the surging Browns (5-2) and Bengals (5-2). This division has traditionally been a two-horse race. It will be interesting to watch. The addition of awest and Raven’s resurgence coupled with the 2 Wiley veterans. Who will come out on top down the stretch? The Bengals helped their cause by beating the Steelers and gaining a much-needed division win. The Browns face-off with the Ravens two times in the next 3 weeks and Cincinnati still has a shot at the Ravens as well. Meanwhile, the Steelers (1-6) seem to be looking forward to the next season yet again.
AFC SOUTHThe Colts (6-1) got back to their winning ways snatching away Seattle's undefeated moniker 33-10. The second-place Jags (3-4) lost out to Arizona 10-6. while Houston (2-5) and the Texans (1-6) suffered their 2nd & 3rd losses in a row to round out the division.

Meanwhile, the Redskins (4-3) second place with a loss to Cleveland in Washington. Despite putting up 20 points in the second half the Redskins could not catch the the Browns. The leaderless Eagles (3-4) managed to get a victory over 49ers 16-3. After a promising season last year, the wheels seem to have fallen off the Giants (2-5) for now as they bring up the rear in the west.
NFC WESTSeattle (6-1) suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Colts 33-10. Could there be a chink in the armor of the Seahawks?

LA won the toss in overtime and marched down the field with a 10-play 68-yard walk-off touchdown drive. The Niners (1-6) fell victim to the Eagles.
NFC NORTHCrazy razors Detroit Lions (6-1) widen the gap to a three-game lead and are threatening to run away with the division with a 34-12 victory over the Giants.

Atlanta (4-3) fell to the Jets 17- 3 and the Saints further tighten the division with the win over Miami 34-7.
NFC MUST SEE Tampa Bay Bucs @ New Orleans Saints
Seatle Seahawks @ Carolina PanthersIt's still very early and no one is out of it by any means. Some of the major races have begun to take shape. It has been somewhat of a topsy-turvy start to a season with so many general managers changing teams and a few new people as well. I know it, from my point of view it has been very difficult to try and rebuild a team with so many others trying to do the same. Actually, I think it has been very good for the league. that's just my opinion hope everyone is enjoying my version of the update. Feel free to p.m. me with any you would like to see or if you would like to contribute. That's the way I see it this week that is the meat of the matter………………………………...MM
