So while Dallas needs just one more win to match last season’s total and the offense has been world class, the D has somehow managed to get even worse.

With another two tackles for a loss on Sunday, he broke his own franchise record with 25 in a season. Perhaps slowed by a knee woe, Crosby wasn’t as active as usual against Denver, logging just four tackles, but he’s already set new career highs in interceptions, stuffs and stuff yards with four games to go. He continues to be a menace to opposing QBs, having already surpassed last season’s sack total, giving him an outside shot to match or pass his career high of 14.5 set in 2023.

At 6-7, KC now has three teams to pass to get to the AFC’s final playoff slot, and while it’s a joyous time for those that are over their decade long domination, it’s still a puzzling development.

Minnesota’s offense has collapsed and the defense has mostly gotten worse, too.

Robinson took a nice step forward last season when he was targeted 140 times, although his YPR dropped for a second straight year. This season, he’s averaging a career-best 12 yards per reception, helping him already smash his personal best in receiving yards.

An injury-decimated roster was the main culprit in a 1-5 start as an offense that led the NFL in yardage last season is just 21st in this season, and the defense has been downright bad (26th in yards allowed).

But perhaps an even bigger reason why the Green Bay offense isn’t as good this season has been the run game. After ranking sixth in yards per game at 144.6 last season, it’s plummeted to 20th with only 111.9 in 2025.
