The Tennessee Titans are the last undefeated team in the league and clearly have been the best team in NFL at the midpoint of the season. But what has amazed me is that they have achieved their 7-0 record not only in a tough division (yes, the other three teams are 3-4, but they might be the best 3-4 teams in the league), but also with Kerry Collins as their quarterback. Are these Titans reminiscent of the the 2000 Ravens, who had a great defense and a competent enough offense to win a Super Bowl? We’ll see how the next three months go.

– The Cowboys stopped the bleeding by earning a hard-fought victory over Tampa Bay. But will Sunday’s game against the Giants set them back? I’m not sure; after all, has this Dallas team forgotten how New York took them out of the playoffs last year? If the Cowboys have and they lose to the Giants, I doubt they’ll recover in time to make the playoffs.

– The London game didn’t suck this year! I was actually somewhat stunned there was as much offense as there was. The Saints needed that victory badly to stay in striking distance in the NFC South. The Chargers aren’t in the best shape, but 9-7 might win the AFC West, so they better figure out how to win, soon.

– Never underestimate the value of a long snapper after the Steelers’ loss. To recap, their emergency long snapper sailed a punt snap out of the end zone for a safety that tied the game. The Giants drove the ensuing possession for a touchdown and won the game. How bad would it be if Pittsburgh misses out on a playoff bye because of that one bad snap.

– Finally, though the 49ers lost, Mike Singletary might be exactly what that team needs. They are bye this week and get Arizona on Nov. 10 — think his message will sink in by then? The Cardinals should be worried.
