Several gigantic contests made news. The Rams, with the NFL's #1 offense, are the last unbeaten team - and the NFC West is the only division with a clear leader - after the Chiefs were bested by the Patriots. The Patriots are back in the driver's seat in the AFC, while the Steelers finally look ready to contend. The Steelers' big win over the Bengals threw the AFC North into a virtual deadlock, and the Chiefs' loss gave life to the San Diego team - now making a charge. It may now be a two-way race out West, because the Broncos can't get any traction, and the Raiders look like a ship without a rudder.
