As the NFL heads into the final quarter of the season, now is when games start, in earnest, to become much more significant.
And, as four teams β the New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs β are now tied for the best record in the AFC at 8-4, the margin of error becomes that much smaller. The Ravens, however, might be the team most in trouble. Awful injury luck and a loss against the Steelers dropped them from the No. 1 seed.
As we wait for the Patriots to play the Bills on Monday night, let's celebrate the no-longer-winless Detroit Lions, who snapped a 15-game losing streak.
