In different words, nary shortage of storylines to follow.

Here are four:

Bills QB woes

The 5-3 Bills are averaging conscionable 16 points per crippled implicit their past two, a conspicuous falloff considering they had scored 31 oregon much points implicit their erstwhile 5 games.

Most of the blasted should beryllium pointed astatine backmost Josh Allen, who played his worst crippled successful a mates of years connected Sunday successful a nonaccomplishment to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In Allen’s defense, though, the Bills’ violative enactment simply has not played good this year.

As a result, Allen isn’t playing with the aforesaid assurance helium had past year.

As they play the Jets Sunday successful what should beryllium an casual win, the Bills request to fig retired a mode to get Allen backmost connected track.

QBs return

Seahawks backmost Russell Wilson makes his instrumentality from the injured database this week against the Packers who, coincidentally, anticipation to person Aaron Rodgers backmost aft a missing past week due to the fact that of a affirmative COVID-19 test.

Wilson was sidelined the past 5 weeks aft injuring the mediate digit connected his throwing hand. The 3-5 Seahawks request him, particularly playing astatine Lambeau Field, wherever they haven’t won since 1999.

With the 8-1 Cardinals and 7-2 Rams mounting the gait successful the NFC West, the Seahawks can’t spend different loss.

The 7-2 Packers besides request their prima QB, arsenic they are precise overmuch successful the heavy of the playoff race.

Addition by subtraction

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but aft walking distant from Odell Beckham Jr. past Friday, the Browns rolled Sunday successful a 41-16 triumph implicit the Bengals.

Without the shadiness of Beckham, the 5-4 Browns became conscionable the 4th squad successful NFL past to grounds a passing touchdown, a rushing touchdown and a antiaircraft touchdown covering 60 oregon much yards successful the aforesaid game.

Again, possibly it’s conscionable a coincidence. But it definite seemed similar they were playing with much vigor and emotion than they had shown each season. The instrumentality present is keeping it going against a 5-4 Patriots squad that is thriving precocious down rookie backmost Mac Jones.

Cardinals magic

The 8-1 Cardinals person been doused with the pixie dust, arsenic evidenced by the mode they rolled the 49ers connected Sunday with Colt McCoy subbing for an injured Kyler Murray astatine quarterback.

No 1 saw the Cardinals breaking retired the mode they have, and surely nary 1 saw them easy handling the 49ers without their starting quarterback. But it’s shaping up arsenic 1 of those years successful Arizona

This Sunday the Cardinals play the 4-5 Panthers, who invited backmost QB Cam Newton. The mode things are going for Kliff Kingsbury and the Cardinals, though, that apt won’t substance much.
